About this houserental

Situated in Cayuga Lake, this attractive house for $625 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation. Come & enjoy our private retreat! Everyone who visits agrees that this spot is idyllic & incredibly unique. Right at the water's edge at the big bend in Cayuga Lake just north of Ithaca, The Point is located on 1.5 level acres & features unparalleled views, no cliffs/hillsides, & an incredibly rare 650 feet of Cayuga lake frontage. The 3 BR/1.5 Bath, 1700 sq ft fully-insulated 4-season cottage faces 270 degree lake views, plus a private cove at the back of the house that adds to the feeling of being on an island, right in the center of Cayuga Lake! The house is itself is an older (1970's) build, but has been furnished for comfort, and what makes this really special is the unparalleled location and grounds, shoreline, and views! The east shore location means fantastic sunset views, while the location of the south facing point with the lake angle means you also get sunrises! The best of both worlds!

The property is nice, and quaint. It was very quiet and peaceful, at least in Nov. With the Marinas I can imagine it may not be as such doing the season. We enjoyed the stay. The house is well equipped for cooking and staying in. The only complaint I would have is the electric heating system (baseboard) is a bit noisy kicking on and off and would disrupt sleep.

We had a lovely stay. The house is so well organized and directions are posted in perfect spots so there’s no questions. Really loved that! Could not be a more idyllic spot, and the outdoors is also set up perfectly. Very beautiful and relaxing.

This is a wonderful cabin in a beautiful setting. The stay was extremely enjoyable and the property is clearly well taken care of by the owners. The listing and photos are accurate. The house was very well set up to start the stay. There was really nothing we needed that was not already there besides food. It was a fun cabin and we will be back.

Perfect long weekend for the family. Can't believe this place exists. Somehow open to the lake/marina on all sides yet at the same time incredibly private. We did not want to leave and still wish we were there. The grounds were great with the incredible views and peaceful lake/nature vibes. Inside was very comfy and appointed nicely. Couldn't ask for a better few days relaxation for all of us. Plus our 10-yr caught his first fish right off the dock - great memories! P.S. highly recommend Salt Point Brewing.

This location is exactly as described. Almost an island of your own, the propery has everything needed to enjoy a secluded lakefront escape. The house is clean and well stocked with games, kayaks, canoes, firepits, and all that you could want if you choose to cook. We were able to use one of the boat companies that was suggested by the owner and had a boat delivered right to the house for our use. I highly recommend and look forward to an opportunity to return time and time again.
