We enjoyed our stay at the Sunset cottage. From the beautiful lake and sunset views, to the perfect location that is close to good food and family fun, it was a fine accommodation. It has some nice amenities such as a large fridge and gas stove, two kayaks and a fire pit on the "beach" (it's not sand, mostly shells and pebbles), plush bath towels and a deck for relaxing and dining outside. A few honest notes: the cottage, the furniture and some kitchenware could really use a spruce up and a bit of a deep clean. It smelled very musty when we arrived and needed a good airing out and vacuuming before we could relax. There iis not adequate clothing storage for a family and the only dresser is small, very hard to open, and made our clothes smell musty. We also found some mildew on a few kitchen items but we understand this can happen with the water so close. There is a bit of pet hair on some of the linens. No big deal for us as we have pets and this booking allows dogs, but FYI for others. Also, neither the entry to the cottage nor the stairs to the beach are great for people with mobility issues. The front entry is a steep hill, even using the staircase, and the front step is too high, and it moves when you stand on it. Midge is a sweet host with great communication, and she has a lovely spot that is perfect for a quality family getaway. It might be in need of a little bit of love but that shouldn't stop anyone from visiting, we just want people to know what to expect.

Cabin was clean and pleasant. We had 5 days of super windy, cold, and crappy weather. We have been to the lake before, so we know the fishing is good. We managed to catch some very large bass, but we had to work for them. And we wore our winter, rain proof hunting clothes. That being said, our only issue was that we had a 21 ft bass boat and a large truck. Backing up a hill, while turning up the drive with large ruts in the road was tough. As with most camps and campgrounds, there are not places to turn around, so 4- wheel drive is a must if bringing a boat to this camp. There is a dock available, but we did not use it because of the whitecaps and wind. We appreciated having a gas grill available, and the stove and oven worked perfectly. The small heater surprisingly kept the whole place warm as it got down to 43 degrees. We turned on the ceiling fan and soon turned the heater down! Our host was readily available for texting questions. We actually left a day early since the weather was just not letting up and hanging wet clothes to dry all around the cabin was getting old. There is no refund for leaving early btw. We would definitely come back to this cabin if we decide to visit Cayuga again.

I stayed at Sunset cottage for a week. We had beautiful swimming weather. My nephews used the kayaks daily & caught small perch that they released. The cottage was very clean & beds comfortable. We had campfires on the beach every night. Midge responded to our needs very quickly.. It was a wonderful Finger Lakes get away.

We very much enjoyed our stay at this perfect little cottage. The water at the lakefront is clear and calm. A few fun places to explore are short drives away!
