Our visit to The Painted Porch was fantastic. The home, neighborhood and time of year made for a perfect getaway with our dogs. We enjoyed the historic nature of the property, and appreciated that it was well appointed, maintained, clean and comfortable for modern life. We enjoyed the nearness of restaurants, as well as the tranquil setting of the lake. It was the perfect mix to enjoy walking, wineries and scenery. Alison was terrific about answering our questions and setting us up for a great time. We hope to come back and visit again. Highly recommend this property!

Fall weekend

We 7 old friends rendezvousing for a few days. The house worked well for cooking and hanging out together, and was a good launchpad for visiting and hiking in the Finger Lakes area. Despite the less than perfect weather, we managed to catch some nice moments on the dock.

Painted Porch Stay

The house was clean, well-equipped and in a fantastic location. You could eat a meal on the porch, just sit and take pictures of blue herons or belted kingfishers, or walk along the beautiful lake front drive. We were there for our 33rd anniversary, dined several nights in nearby Trumansburg and would strongly consider returning to the Painted Porch lake house!!

Amazing family gathering!

Wonderful home in an extraordinary part of the world!! Very well maintained and well-equipped. Loved the front porch with the porch swing, looking out on the gorgeous lake and the walkers. Kids loved the paddle boards and kayaks. Took lovely walks and bike rides along the lakeside road - just a perfect spot to relax, get some exercise and even local wine! Somehow missed that there was no dishwasher but it wasn't an issue as everyone pitched in. Enjoyed communicating with Alison who was super helpful. Thank you for a vacation we'll remember for many years.

Great home in fabulous location!

We booked this home over a year ago for commencement weekend at Ithaca College and could not have been happier! The home was lovingly curated and it fit together perfectly. From the beginning of the day where you could enjoy your coffee while seeing the sunrise on the eastern view porch over Lake Cayuga to the evening meals in the large dining room, it was an excellent experience. We loved the library, the games, and the multiple bird feeders. The host provided kayaks and standup paddle board for lake fun. Our party of 8 adults could get together in the main room or retreat to their large individual rooms, as needed. It is close enough to town (about a1/2 hour drive) to enjoy all that Ithaca has to offer, yet even closer to excellent vineyards, where, if you are as fortunate as our family, you could spend a perfect day! Alison was an excellent host—quick to communicate and ready to make your experience meet expectations!

Amazing time at Painted Porch

We had an amazing time! The house had every amenity including a well stocked kitchen. Alison was attentive and answered all of our questions promptly. The inside is beautiful with antique hardwoods. The birds are fun to watch in the kitchen, and we spent hours at the big living room table playing cards, talking in the family room or out on the quaint porch overlooking the lake. We rented a boat and it was great; very little boat traffic. I swam each day. The seaweed is thick near the dock but if you swim out it is clear and the water seems clean. We are thinking of vacationing again as a family and if we do we will definitely go back to the farmhouse. (so glad no TV!)

A beautiful stay with a couple minor hitches

We had a wonderful stay at The Painted Porch. It’s a lovely farmhouse just across the road from lake Cayuga and the views and property are beautiful. The house is comfortable and attractive and the porch is perfect for lake gazing from the rocking chairs or porch swing and from the living room sofa when the weather’s not good. We booked too late for our stay to be refundable and were surprised by some fees and house rules that were not listed before finalizing our reservation, particularly regarding dogs. That said, I don’t think it will be a problem anymore because Alison did not realize this and was going to remedy it right away. Alison was very easy and responsive to communicate with, which was a real plus. Wishing anyone who stays here a wonderful time. It really is a lovely house and location in one of the most beautiful places I know of.

Fun Farm House

Fun week with family on Cayuga lake. Spacious lot and house. The 2 large bedrooms upstairs with the large bathroom between worked well for our 2 families with small children. Nice front porch overlooking the lake and big backyard. Loads of toys and games for kids. Short drives to hikes and other activities. Cooked at home except for pizza from Pat’s on our last night. Kitchen is spacious and well equipped. Large dining room table for 8-10 people. Nice area for sitting outside and also down by the dock. The lake is across a road which is not busy but requires all the usual precautions for kids and pets. Dock is well built sand wider than most with a swim ladder. Water quality is very good. Bottom is rocks/pebbles so water shoes are needed. Almost no zebra mussels but some small fragments of snail shells.Excellent fishing off the dock. ( small perch, sunfish, smallmouth, and gobies.) Worms were the best bait. Would return again in the future.

Graduation getaway

We stayed at the painted house for our son’s graduation. It was home away from home. We had everything we needed and were able to cook all our meals at the house. I highly recommend this beautiful lakefront retreat. As an added feature there is meticulous landscaping and bird feeders all around. A nature lover’s dream.

Beautiful property with exquisite view of the lake and a large backyard to relax and play games. Host was easy to work with for any questions. House is unique - was fun to take walks and see other properties in the area as well. 10 of us stayed and there was plenty of room. Only negatives (small) were that the kitchen was not huge and cupboard/refrigerator space for food was limited. An additional half bath would also be great, as 2 full bathrooms for 10 people presented a few challenges at times. Overall, we had a great stay and would recommend to others.
