About this house rental

Nestled in Cayuga Lake, this lovely house for $415 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. A gorgeous, updated, three-bedroom house directly on Cayuga Lake but only minutes from downtown Ithaca. Our house has spectacular lake views, a modern floor plan, and beautiful, high-end construction and details. Special features include a stoned faced fireplace, striking wide plank floors, and a modern kitchen with modern appliances. First-floor full bath and guest room. Upstairs you will be delighted with the master suite with more gorgeous lake views. The driveway is close to the front door compared to most other West Shore properties. Private frontage and dock. Kayaks, Canoe. Fast internet service with wifi, A/C, Washer Dryer, Roku TV, DVD player, gas fireplace, wine cooler. Reasons to rent this house: 1) The single-family house is directly on Cayuga Lake with amazing views from the deck and dock, near wineries, and also only 5 minutes from downtown Ithaca restaurants and shopping, and less than 15 min. from the colleges. 2) We use only solar electricity, powered by Solar Farms, New York. 3) In summer, you can drive close to the front door, no major staircase to the house (as is common on Cayuga Lake). However, you must be able-bodied and sure-footed. There is a path with a series of concrete steps (a total of 21). In winter, we have a new staircase from the road with 52 steps. The house is not appropriate for anyone with walking disabilities (sorry). 4) There are 2.5 bathrooms. 5) Two kayaks on the property, a canoe, private dock. 6) The house is big enough for two families to share. We have 3 bedrooms and a bonus room (with a sleeper sofa), plus a sleeper sofa with memory foam mattress in the living room. 7) Our house is equipped with a high chair, a pack-n-play, an infant bath, and myriad toys, books, and games. Who Can Rent: The house is not appropriate for loud/late-night parties. We do not allow additional guests. Also, sorry, the house is not handicapped accessible. All adult guests staying at the house must sign our license agreement and agree to our house rules. Our property is steep. There is a long staircase to the house from the upper driveway with 52 steps. The path from the lower parking is relatively flat. All tenants and guests must be able to navigate the stairs with ease. Unfortunately, it is not handicapped accessible. We do not have a grass yard. Winter: Our house is a real house that is winterized and you can set the thermostat to whatever is comfortable. We do not always plow or shovel the lower driver in winter. Winter tenants should plan to walk from the upper parking to the house.

Lovely view, lovely sunrises, nice house. The kitchen was well equipped, even with really sharp knives, which seems to be a rarity these days.

We had an absolutely fantastic time over the Thanksgiving holiday. The house was perfect to have our Thanksgiving away from home. We loved every minute and would love to stay again!

Very nice home with gorgeous views on the lake. There were paddle boats but we did not use them since it rained on that day. Just some small improvements: 1) add an airfryer 2) provide basic shampoos/body wash in refillable containers that cannot be tamper by guests 3) provide some small towels.

This was the perfect place for our family while visiting for a wedding. Important to note that this home, as well as many homes along the road, are located a good distance down a sizable hill from the road. And then, if you wish to go down to the lake, there are quite a few more stairs. You will see many cars parked along the road and stairway entrances. So if you have mobility issues, this may not work for you. That said, the stairs are in great repair. The stairs leading from the from down to the lake are brand new. The owner’s communication and descriptions were very prompt and detailed. The home was comfortable and had plenty of space for our family to relax in between activities. We didn’t do much cooking as time wouldn’t allow, but there are so many restaurants around Ithaca college that finding food was not a problem. A simple Google search will find you plenty of outdoor activities like great hiking trails, playgrounds, and water activities. We are not “winery people”, but if you are, you won’t be disappointed! I highly recommend a stay in this home

Everything was perfect. Definitely lots of steps if you need to park in the upper lot and if you use the lake but we knew that going in. Would definitely recommend and return.

This house was perfect for out family vacation. The deck was fabulous with 2 levels to enjoy. We spent many mornings and evenings enjoying the lake view from it. We also enjoyed utilizing the available kayaks and swimming in the lake when we weren’t exploring the area. Would definitely try to stay here again.

The house is beautiful! It's right on the water, and it was lovely to sit out on the deck and take in the lake and the scenery. It's within driving distance of downtown Ithaca and within 30 minutes of other attractions around the Finger Lakes. Would highly recommend as a home base to explore the area!
