BEAUTIFUL WATERFRONT ESCAPE
About this house rental
Situated in Cayuga Lake, this charming house for $323 per night is a fantastic option for your next vacation. Get away for a short term vacation or longer term stay for a change of work scenery to this gorgeous lakefront house perfectly situated minutes from Seneca falls, Ithaca, the outlets and all of the wineries on both Cayuga and Seneca Lakes. Recently renovated, this charming house is completely furnished for your enjoyment and comfort. This house has an open concept kitchen/dining/living room overlooking pristine Cayuga lake and is perfect for gatherings and enjoying friends and family. This home offers water views from every bedroom with the largest bedroom opening onto an enclosed porch with 180 degree lake views. There is an additional living room/game room upstairs that can also be used as a sleeping porch (4th bedroom). The house is just steps from the water and also offers grassy yards on the lower and upper portions of the property. There is a full bathroom on the upper level where the bedrooms are located and a half bath for convenience on the lower level. ALL THE INSIDE AMENITIES YOU COULD WANT ARE PROVIDED FOR YOUR COMFORT AND STRESS-FREE LIVING: free WiFi, two cable TVs (living room and large bedroom) and a Roku TV in the sleeping porch, microwave, Keurig machine, Ninja, cookware and serving ware, washer/dryer, linens, extra blankets, comfy couches, two living areas, and soothing décor. OUTSIDE, EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO RELAX AND HAVE FUN ARE PROVIDED: BBQ grill, kayaks, paddle boards and inflatable rafts. THE LOCATION CANNOT BE BEAT. A four and a half hour drive from NYC and 45 minutes from two major airports (Syracuse and Rochester). The house is minutes from all the Finger Lake wineries, the town of Seneca Falls (where “It’s a Wonderful Life” was filmed and the home of the first women's rights convention), and a newly constructed women’s history museum. The house is also not far from the popular and charming Skaneateles. An easy one-mile walk brings you to a state park on the lake with trails, a boat launch, sandy beaches, a playground and picnic tables. Smoking is strictly prohibited inside the house and within 15 feet of the house. Although the house is not child-proof, children are welcome. Occupancy is limited to 6 maximum, but with prior notice, can sleep up to 8. The house offers parking for 3 vehicles. Note: there is a flight of steps to get from the parking area at road level to the house at lake level but when you see what LIVING ON THE LAKE offers, it is completely worth it.

We very much enjoyed our staff. The house was very clean and one of the most well stocked kitchens I have seen. The location was perfect for exploring the region! We would love to come back in the summer to take advantage of the lake activities.

We enjoyed the wineries nearby and the beautiful lakeview property. They kayaks were fun and when it rained there was plenty of games and stuff to do indoors.

My wife and I had a great stay here while visiting Seneca falls and the local winery/breweries. Amazing views of the lake and a fully stocked kitchen allowed us to really unwind in the evening. We look forward to staying here again when we visit the area in the future.

Water right off the porch and everything we could have wanted in a house an more. Other reviews described it in great detail and correct. I liked the swimming and firepit. My wife liked the decorations.

We chose this cozy home for its view and it didn’t disappoint! You felt like you were sitting right on the lake from the living room! The house was very comfy and everything you would need was provided. From extra pillows and blankets, to throws to cuddle under on the sofas, it was easy to relax after spending the day traveling around the Lakes. The kitchen was well equipped and with 3 tvs and games available there was plenty to entertain you. We had one question which the host answered almost instantly. The steps down to the house looked intimidating, but actually weren’t hard to navigate. Well worth the trip down to the fabulous location on the lake! The location made it easy to explore both Cayuga and Seneca and we also ventured over to Skaneateles which was only 30 minutes away. We definitely want to make a return visit to this comfy, cozy home!!

This is a great property that is literally steps away from the lake. The back porch, firepit, dock, kayaks, paddle boards, etc... allowed us to fully take advantage of the location.
The downstairs common area was comfortable for our group of 4 adults and 2 children under 10 to spend time in together without feeling cramped. There is a similar sized common area upstairs that we didn't even use.
The kitchen was very well stocked with cookware, dishes, utensils and spices. The bathrooms were well stocked with towels and personal care items.
During our visit the neighborhood was very calm and peaceful. It was a short (probably 10-15 minute) drive into Seneca Falls and at least two grocery stores (that we know of).
The person managing the property was very responsive and pleasant to deal with.
Some things to note are that there are some fairly steep stairs leading from the parking area to the house. They were never an issue for us, but may be if someone is less mobile. The main bedroom is very spacious and large enough to comfortably spend time in. The two other bedrooms are too small to sit anywhere other than on the bed. This shouldn't be an issue if you plan on spending most of your time in the common areas or outside anyway.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at this property!

My husband and our 4 adult children spent a lovely few days at this home. It was comfortable and cozy and right on the water. Kelly/ Claudia handled all the details seamlessly and made this vacation so easy. The kitchen was well equipped and the house was set up with plenty of things to do. I loved sitting on the porch listening to the water. I would definitely return.

I booked this house for my family of five, my kids are older, young adults and we were thrilled with the accommodations. There was plenty of room and most bedrooms are generous. The house is well stocked and I found that I overpacked. I didn’t need to bring all the towels, bedding and kitchen supplies that I thought we would need! There was also plenty of floats and lake toys to play with, my kids had a ball. It is also close to town with restaurants, wineries and shopping nearby. The lake is literally steps from the back door, we spent so much time just enjoying the views from the porch. Be aware of the bugs, but they come with any summer time lake property and the bonfire at night kept them away. I also appreciated the available wood pile for the fire. Thanks for a great week!!

Our family throughly enjoyed our stay at Cayuga Lake. The house had everything we needed and the kids loved the paddle boards and kayaks. The fishing was great. The water off the dock was pretty murky for swimming but we found a great spot at Seneca State Park.

We loved our stay at Claudia's lakehouse this weekend! It was the perfect vacation spot for our family (my 2 older parents, and then my siblings and boyfriend and I). The house was beautiful and cozy, and the location is stunning with views of the gorgeous lake from every window! We thoroughly enjoyed cooking in the kitchen, relaxing on the porch, playing board games together, taking out the kayaks, and making s'mores at the firepit. We also got to explore the nearby towns of Seneca Falls and Skaneateles, which was a lot of fun. The communication from Claudia and Kelly was perfect. Highly recommended c:

We stayed in this lovely home with our two teenage boys and my mother for Memorial Day weekend.
The house is in a fantastic location on the water and we really appreciated all the amenities such as the grill, fire pit, dock, kayaks and stand up paddle boards. The kitchen was very well stocked.
The property manager was very responsive to any questions and made checking in and out easy.
The only area that we gave less than 5 starts was cleanliness as the house was a bit musty and we found cobwebs. We suspect we might have been the first guests of the season.
Overall however a great house for a weekend away!

Didn’t quite catch peak fall foliage but went hiking, biking, wine tasting, and kayaking! Also did the Sam Patch Erie Canal Lock boat tour in nearby Pittsfield. Evenings were spent the fire pit enjoying the quiet of the lake with a warm cocktail. WiFi. Cable TV, and several TVs were all available but we chose to be off the grid to recharge. Perfect!
Host Claudia was super nice, helpful and responsive. Definitely on our return list!

This lake house was the perfect place for my wife and I to spend the week. The location was excellent, and it had everything we needed for an enjoyable vacation. Claudia was awesome to deal with and communication with her was great. Waking up in the morning and watching the sun rise while lying in bed was just glorious, as was taking the kayaks out on the lake. It was just a wonderful week and we hope to come back again!

This was a special get-away to a bucket list destination for our 35th wedding anniversary. We always wanted to see the Finger Lakes region and this was the perfect location. The house was truly a home for the week we were there. Very comfortable and spacious with "spread out" space on two levels. Right on the lake edge with wonderful views of an ever changing fall landscape. The owners have created a well-stocked oasis- thinking of everything. I have vrbo'd many times and this is by far the best spot we have stayed. Close to everything we wanted to do and see.

We had a great time at this lovely house. Beautiful view of the lake and beautiful furnishings. Beds were very comfy and the softest sheets ever!! The kitchen had everything you needed plus a great coffee selection. We had fires in the fire pit and truly enjoyed just hanging out watching the lake. Very relaxing!! Highly recommend!

Our family loved staying at this cottage! Claudia was easily reachable and was super helpful with any questions we had. The lake level was up over a foot due to recent storms and she did everything she could to have people working to make the dock usable. The cottage was super clean and organized! The air conditioning was a must for us and it worked great! We were very comfortable all week long!

This house was perfect for our family of 4. A wonderful place to get away, relax, enjoy the water and surrounding areas. We were there over the 4th of July weekend, saw wonderful fireworks from all around the lake, some near, others far, but all exciting to watch. The house is very well equipped with water "toys" and other things to keep you busy. Claudia was very responsive and helpful during our stay.

Location is great. House can fit more than advertised. Plenty of room and clean. Parking is tight. Fishing off pier with grandkids is the best. Had a storm drop a tree and some branches in our way. The Host took care of this in courteous way and promptly as possible. The steps are solid but steep. Sunrise and a coffee are very rewarding. Saw a rain bow every evening as well.
