Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Clean, Stylish, Well Maintained, Lakefront, Amazing Views, Pet Friendly, College

Beautiful lake views, amazing location, modern, comfortable and peaceful. The perfect lake living while still minutes from town, Cornell and Ithaca College. Watch the sunrise over the lake on the deck. This is a three story home with 3 bedrooms, a bonus room, 2 full baths and and 1/2 bath. Our house has 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 lower parking area is close to the front door compared to most other West Shore properties. Private lake 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) 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).

3) There are 2.5 bathrooms.

4) Two kayaks on the property, a canoe, private dock.

5) 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.

6) Our house is equipped with a high chair, a pack-n-play, an infant bath, and myriad toys, books, and games.

7) We are powered by off-site solar power.

Who Can Rent:
The house is not appropriate for loud/late-night parties. 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.

With respect to all Ithaca lakehouses and to enjoy peace and quiet, our property is steep and away from the road. 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.

Gorgeous lakeside property!

Our stay was too short, but everything was just what we needed and expected. Super clean, right on the lake. Upper parking lot on a busy road but we didn't hear any of that from the house. Many thanks for sharing this beautiful home with us!

Beautiful home!

We had a short, but lovely stay. The house was spacious and very clean. Beautiful view of the lake. Great communication with the host. We appreciated the notes taped up around the house with info/instructions for various things, like how to lock certain doors, or the contents of each kitchen cabinet/drawer. We were there during winter and parked in the upper parking area given the snow. There is a long staircase from the upper lot, which is clearly communicated in the posting, so we knew to expect it. We actually enjoyed the walk down. It is not handicap or stroller accessible though. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others!

Great stay in Ithaca

A lot of thought is put into making guests comfortable in this great Ithaca location. This house has everything you need for an awesome stay at the lake. The layout of the house makes the most of the lake views and everything is comfortable and well-maintained. Hope we can go back again soon!

Life on the Lake

We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the beautiful cottage that had every amenity you would ever need. It was only a mile from Cass Park with a very expansive dog park so we could let the dog get his exercise. We will hopefully be back to Ithaca next year. So relaxing!

Perfect location!

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!

Peace on Cayuga Lake and right near town!

We stayed here for a family reunion in Ithaca and the house was beautiful! The large decks with amazing views of the lake were so relaxing and the dock access for early morning paddling was a huge plus. We loved our stay and enjoyed grilling and cooking for our family. The kitchen was very well stocked and the living space was large and comfy! We’d stay again!

Unbelievable views and beautiful property

We booked a quick trip, last minute for our kids' fall break and could not have been more thrilled with this property. The house is beautiful and the views you just have to see for yourself. It is so peaceful and serene. We loved the decks and sitting on the dock. I can't say enough about the property itself which was very nicely decorated and very clean. Aside from the house itself, the location is my favorite in the area. You are right on the lake which is so quiet, but you are also a quick drive to Ithaca & Cornell campuses. We went to Taughannock Falls and Ithaca Falls on this trip. It is very close to Treman also , but we ran out of time. There are great restaurants/wineries/breweries close by, but have to come back for a longer trip. From someone who books often on VRBO, we LOVED this place. Also, dog friendly and we brought our dog everywhere with us!

Have to drive everywhere

The house is on a busy street. You must drive to get anywhere including somewhere to walk your dog. The house is lovely and well maintained. There is a rusty pipe under the corner of the dock that one of us cut themselves on while swimming in the lake and the steps leading into the lake are very slippery
