About this house rental

A gorgeous, updated, three-bedroom house directly on Cayuga Lake but only minutes from downtown Ithaca. Our house has spectacular lake views, 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 driveway is realtively close to the front door compared to most other West Shore properties. Private 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) We use only solar electricity, powered by Solar Farms, New York.

3) 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).

4) There are 2.5 bathrooms.

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

6) 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.

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

Who Can Rent:
The house is not appropriate for loud/late-night parties. We do not allow additional guests. 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.

Our property is steep. 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.

This is a beautifully appointed and well maintained home, with dock and two level large (new) wooden deck right on the lake on a quiet stretch of road just outside of Ithaca (so close to everything in town). The large windows give ample natural light and provide stunning lake views to the large kitchen/living area and the primary bedroom. The spacious deck with ample, quality deck furniture was great for enjoying the view and fresh air, and the kitchen had everything we needed and more. Everything seemed very clean and well taken care of. We will definitely look for this home for a future stay in Ithaca.

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!

My adult daughters and I stayed at this beautiful lake house and highly recommend it to families or groups of friends looking for an upscale home with all the amenities. The house is gorgeous! Spacious and beautifully decorated. We loved the huge shower with the bench and skylight, the porch swing, the double kayak, the comfy deck chairs and the kitchen that had everything including a toaster oven, wine fridge, mini drink fridge, blender and coffee maker among other things. Of course being right on the water with a private dock was the bomb. The view from the master bedroom was stunning. Seeing the sunrise laying in a super comfy bed was so relaxing. We loved the layout of the house because we could gather for meals and games comfortably in the large living room but there were plenty of spaces to have individual quiet time as well with the extra downstairs den and two story wraparound deck. The lake is very easy to navigate in the kayaks and canoe provided. We loved how active the lake is with families using a wide variety of boats. It was fun to sit on the dock or deck and watch the fun and the water fowl. So many ducks, gulls and loons! A special bonus was the friendly rooster and chicken couple that visited throughout the day. They were so cute the way they hung out together and roamed around clucking and peeking in the door! 😆 Our host, Carolyn, was super responsive and answered our questions within minutes. Wonderful experience in Ithaca! Loved it!

This was our 2nd time staying here (the first time in 2020). The location is perfect to both Ithaca and Trumansburg, the updated deck is just gorgeous, and the easy access to the lake with the kayaks and canoe make the stay even more relaxing. We absolutely love it here with the space, sleeping arrangements, and amenities this home has to offer. Thank you again for providing a home away from home!

Had a wonderful gathering with our family for graduation weekend. Location was convenient. Kitchen and grill made family meals simple. Loved being able to enjoy lake kayaking. The home was beautiful and we had plenty of room.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed a few nights on the banks of Cayuga Lake, while being very close to Ithaca and surrounding natural areas of interest. We loved the warm wood floors and overall timeless character of the home. Great views of the lake including awesome master bedroom views as well. The outdoor stairs and decking all appeared recently updated and provided good access to the dock and water. We had pretty decent weather to fish a bit off the dock with the kids, but it was too chilly to get out in the lake. Communication with Carolyn was quick and very helpful. The house was very clean and well maintained. Two local spots we enjoyed were Buttermilk Falls and Taughannock Gorge (and we would have loved nearby Watkins Glen had we come when the gorge trail was open). Overall, we all enjoyed it here and would definitely book again.
