Unique house and beautiful location
Our stay was wonderful! House was immaculate. The only tough thing to get used to was the sulfur smell from the water but that is to expected with a lakehouse. A beautiful spot.

Hidden gem with a few caveats
The location was undeniably the best part of this rental. We spent a majority of our time outside on the private beach, which offered plenty of space for our extended family of 10 to spread out and enjoy kayaking, fishing and just relaxing by the lake together. It was a true slice of paradise, and with close proximity to the state parks and Ithaca there was plenty to do away from the house when we wanted to change things up.
The house itself was well-maintained with a few updates in the bathrooms and kitchen and loaded with plenty of outdoor space to sit and play a game or enjoy the views of the lake with your morning coffee. The primary bedroom provided plenty of space. The guest bedrooms were a bit cramped and smaller than expected, providing little storage or space beyond a bed. Small box fans were present in each room which provided plenty of airflow during our time. However, The lack of air conditioning could pose a challenge during a warm spell as we learned on our last night. A mini split on the second floor is recommended. Water pressure was also a bit inconsistent in some of the bathrooms. The beach house was an excellent addition that offered additional space for our family though it was in need of a little maintenance. Overall, the experience was great. The host was highly responsive and incredibly receptive to our feedback. Would highly recommend and would absolutely stay again.

Family Vaction
This beautiful, private, lake property, with 3 buildings that added so much to the experience, was perfect for kids, adults and 2 dogs! Lots to do on the water , kayaking, swimming, ;lots of sea glass to find and great fishing off the boat house dock, The house has charm and comfort as well as everything we needed. We did bring a couple of extra fans and our own coffee machine, other than that the
house was well stocked with bedding, towels, cute-kitchen with everything you would need.
Also a washer and dryer was an added bonus . A great family friendly place where family memories were made!
We will definitely return and highly recommend.

Wonderful!
This was our first time in the Finger Lakes. We were thrilled with this house, and it turned out to be all that we needed and then some. The location was beautiful, the view was amazing, and Debra Wallace was incredibly responsive. When we asked questions, she was back to us within an hour in rare cases, and within minutes in most cases. I can heartily recommend this property to anyone!

Lake Weekend
This house was absolutely incredible. The view of the lake from the house deck, boat dock, and private beach were breathtaking. There was plenty of space for all of our guests and the house was extremely clean upon arrival. We also loved the kayaks and paddleboards provided by the owner. This added an extra element of fun on the lake! I would highly recommend this property to anybody thinking of visiting Cayuga Lake, NY.

Phenomenal Property!
We have been staying here almost every summer for over 15 years! This is an incredible place to stay and accomodates large groups. We usually have 10-12 people each year and it works great. The views are incredible as well. One of our favorite things is having coffee every morning on the front porch. We can't wait for next year!

Great family stay!
We rented this house for our family of 7and dog to stay for my nephews wedding at The Taughannock Inn which was only a mile down the road! Only problem was I wish everyone could have stayed longer! We had so much fun down at the lake! Between the dock, the floating raft, the kayaks and stand up boards everyone truly enjoyed the lake. There are so many spots for larger groups to enjoy and the house is adorable. Everything you need is provided and it was such a comfortable home.

perfect lakeside stay
I can’t recommend this place enough; I booked the property for a weekend girls trip, and it was amazing. being right on the water was such a bonus, and I loved the layout. the main Lakehouse had great views from the deck, and being able to start the day there with a coffee and conversation was a major highlight. the location was convenient, specifically for the proximity to Taughanock falls and Ithaca, and many great wineries. I would love to come back in summer to experience the full lake life.

Relaxation at its best
Relaxing weekend getaway for young children through grandparents. The private beach and dock were amazing and the house offered beautiful views of Cayuga Lake. We spent our entire three days at house due to the fun for those who wanted to swim/boat and relaxation for those who wanted to sit with a good book with the sounds of lake. There was plenty of deck space and seating at each level, though plenty of stairs so get ready to work your calves. :) The main house had much to offer from the well-stocked kitchen, cozy sitting area, and master suite with bathroom and sun room. We used each bedroom in the main house and everyone slept well and felt at home. We had found the beach house convenient for potty breaks near the beach but felt as though some airing out and additional cleaning of this house could go a long way, so no one stayed in this area during our stay. The boat house looked super fun and offered nice sitting areas overlooking the water, while many of us fished from my dock below. We loved it and would definitely come back, again!

We had an amazing time! Loved the property and location. It was big enough for 6 of us to spread out with our own beds/bedrooms - necessary during Covid! Only problem was the smell of the tap water... must be lake water. Other than that the house was clean, well equipped and charming! We would definitely rent it again!

Beautiful setting in a charming property
Had a great experience. So many positives from
Location, views, charm, etc. owner was quick to respond when we had questions in advance. Many more kitchen supplies than expected. Some comments (not complaints though)... plenty of leftover food items in fridge and cabinet. Many were expired although unopened. We cleaned some out. During these times, we didn’t feel comfortable using anything left by previous guests. Also, a couple of the stairs are wobbly, but not dangerous... just use the handrails. We had an amazing experience.
