Beautiful home on Cayuga lake. This home has everything you need for a comfortable relaxing stay. Views from the decks are amazing, I spent mornings afternoons and evenings on the decks just relaxing watching the lake and listening to the waterfall right next to the home. Owner has 2 bird feeders on the deck that attracts so many different birds, great with your morning coffee. Property on lake level just as pretty. Fire pit with chairs, gazebo with table and chairs, chair swing, canoe (which my daughter and I used to go out on the lake fishing) and kayaks. Owner does forewarn about the amount of steps, there are a lot BUT this home and the level of relaxation you feel while staying here is well worth it.

Couldn’t have found a more perfect spot to celebrate: gorgeous cottage with amazing deck overlooking the lake, and everything you’d need for a vacation on the water. House was immaculate with every amenity imaginable.

Despite rainy weather for the first few days, the sun did eventually come out on day 3. The lake was beautiful (even in the rain). Location was close to town for shops and restaurants and nearby Wegmans and a Trader Joe’s. We made it to Taughannock Falls and that was beautiful! Winneries abound. Steps were many but owner clearly shows that in all of the pictures. Driveway is a challenge to exit bc the driveway is very steep but once you do it a few times you get the hang of it. Overall, 5 stars. Will definitely plan to stay here again!
