About this cottage rental
This split-level gem has amazing, awe-inspiring views that will be sure to take your breath away, and a spacious interior floor plan designed for your comfort in mind.
Upon entering A Shore Thing, you will be pleasantly surprised by the welcoming feel of the large four season room. This room provides ample space for enjoying the magnificent views as well as entertaining guests. The custom kitchen offers all the conveniences of home! An indoor grill with industrial exhaust will allow you to prepare gourmet meals with ease all year round. The open layout of the kitchen/dining area and living room allows conversation to flow freely, with a partial wall dividing the living room to increase lighting and ambiance.
Across from the kitchen, guests will find two well appointed bedrooms, both equipped with a queen size bed, and closets. Each bedroom has a flat screen television and ceiling fan to ensure your upmost comfort. Just down the hall is a convenient full bathroom with a double vanity, tub and shower.
Step down a few stairs into the very spacious, north-facing master suite. Large, lakeside windows provide occupants a great view of the lake. Comfort was first in mind while remodeling this spacious suite! Features include a beautiful tile-faced, gas fireplace, 2 spacious closets, a flat screen television, and a sitting area for enjoying a quiet afternoon with a good book. The master bath is immaculate and offers a Jacuzzi tub, heated floor, and attractive design to enhance a relaxing vacation experience.
At the other end of the long hallway is the sunken living room, with vaulted ceilings, featuring another stunning tile fireplace, a flat screen television, and sliding glass doors lead to an outdoor deck with panoramic views of the lake. The entire house is outfitted with a surround sound system controlled in the living room, so bring your iPod and enjoy your favorite music!
A short staircase off the living room leads to the fourth bedroom. This room features a queen sized bed and flat screen television.
One of the great features of this lake house is the spacious game room, which offers a pool table, dartboard, large flat screen TV, and a ping pong table. Screened garage doors are available to offer fresh air for those warm summer days, and during winter months the area is comfortably heated to allow guests to continue to enjoy these additional amenities as well.
The outdoor living space is amazing at A Shore Thing! Newly added in late fall of 2017 is a 6 person hot tub settled on stamped concrete with ample LED lighting for ambiance. The level back yard with patio is perfect for outdoor entertainment and yard games. Be sure to bring your bocce set! Across the road is 100 feet of pristine natural lakefront, as well as a lighted, permanent dock.
A Shore Thing is conveniently located on the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail. Need a shopping day? Be sure to check out Waterloo Premium Outlets! A half hour drive south will lead directly into downtown Ithaca, where guests will find quaint restaurants, great shopping, and breathtaking waterfalls (Taughannock Falls and Buttermilk Falls are only a couple of spectacular waterfalls worth visiting)!

This house was the perfect location for us for a girls weekend getaway! Very clean home with a large kitchen, spacious bedrooms, game room, and right across the street from the lake with a dock. There were plenty of wineries and distilleries within a 5 minute drive. I highly recommend this home!

Family at the lake house for Memorial Day weekend 2024. Had a great time. Everything was as described and in great conditions. Hot Tub was a welcomed addition. We enjoyed bringing the boat and enjoying time at the dock area and in the water. Great place to stay.

We came for a low-key bachelorette party, just to hang out with friends and have a girls weekend. We were right in the middle of the wine trail and had the most beautiful view of the water. We had a lovely time.

Spacious house for 7 adults and a dog. Good central location for wineries and state parks. Game room a plus especially since we stayed during the winter. Beautiful sunrises. Would stay here again.

My friends and I stayed at A Shore Thing for the weekend to celebrate our friend's upcoming wedding. It was the perfect location for wineries and one of our favorite stops, Muranda Cheese Company. We had everything we could possibly need at the house and the views were incredible. We wish we could have stayed longer to truly enjoy all the amenities. We'll be back in the summer for "shore"!

4 of us ladies stayed here for a weekend. Very spacious and many different areas to seperate yourself if you need it. Unfortunately we did not get to take advantage of the game room. We enjoyed the fireplaces in each room. We were doing crafts so we mainly sat in the sunroom the whole time. Great, spacious room. Thinking this might be our new annual place to rent.

The house was perfect for our family of 4 with more than enough room. I love that we got to bring our dog to enjoy the trip with us. Even when the weather wasn’t great we had plenty to do inside.

Great property. Accommodated 10 adults nicely. Advertised as on/close to seneca lake. Its actually on cayuga lake, a 15 minute drive away from seneca lake. Wish it was advertised that way, but no regrets. Nice property and the group had a great time. Only suggestion would be to upgrade the mattresses.

The house was very comfortable with many amenities. The early arrival time was greatly appreciated!
4.0 / 5.0
Only one issue but rather significant, keeps it from a five star rating. If a property is billed as "Premier", then it should not have subpar mattresses and pillows. Sleep is important since you spend 1/3 of your week doing it. No one ever woke up in the morning feeling well-rested.

Not Exactly As Advertised
The property suited our needs for the week. Located on semi-busy road, in close proximity to wineries, but had to cross this roadway to get to dock and lakeside access. Not as clean as I would have liked. Dishwasher was broken, many glasses were put away in cabinet broken as well. (safety hazards) One of the windows in the sunroom was broken with oval shapped crack and I was afraid it might fall out the entire time we were there. Hot tub has no way to maintain...i.e. chlorine... and gets funky by the end of the week. Despite all of this my Family and I managed to have a wonderful time together because that is what our vacation was meant for.

comfortable stay with an awesome view
The property was enjoyable to stay. The view of the lake and outside seating was used everyday. A few items need some repair, (chair, door to the patio only the tv in the living room had a usable cable signal ) but otherwise the property was well equipped for our family of 10.

Great House & View
Wonderful place, great game room, hot tub, furniture, very nice kitchen but.... downstairs bedroom had a funky smell and all the mattresses need up dating. They were cheap. Everything else was very good.

Overall enjoyable, a few hiccups
Stayed with small group of friends over New Years Eve weekend; there were two couples and two singles, so we utilized all four bedrooms.
Overall the house was nice and roomy enough for us, though the downstairs bedroom behind the garage/game room, in our opinion, should not be considered habitable due to the very strong septic smell. It was so strong that we needed to keep that bedroom door shut to keep the smell from pervading the air in the living room. We did mention it to the property manager, who said everything was working properly, so I would just take that into consideration if you need to use that bedroom.
We did also have a problem with the indoor grill - we were only able to get one burner to light (we followed all instructions, one side lit up, the other would not), and so we did use the outdoor grill instead though it was cold and rainy.
Everything else was as expected, and the dock across the street was nice, and the view from the front room of the house was beautiful.

Graduation weekend on the lake
Thank you for allowing us to celebrate my daughter’s graduation from NYCC in your beautiful home! It was spacious, gorgeous and with an amazing view of the lake in the front room! Although we didn’t have time to enjoy the hot tub or fire pit on the deck, it was an extra bonus to have at the house.

Lifelong Friends Reunion
Spent an amazing 3nights, 4 days at this very spacious Lakefront property. We didn't lack for anything as the owner has all needs covered. Very clean, comfortable beds, fireplaces in every bedroom and Living Room created that extra touch! Spent a day visiting the wineries and soaked in the hot tub upon our return. Enjoyed a lakeside fire on the beach. This property is an excellent choice for a large family. Thank you!!!

Great location, needs a deep cleaning
The location of this home is superb as it’s very close to several wineries on the west side of Cayuga Lake. Check in was simple, but the cleaners and owner were there when we arrived at 3pm (check in time in their off season). That was no big deal. We just waited in the car. The master bedroom had good light blocking curtains and a comfortable bed. The space was well surface cleaned, but really squired deep cleaning (mold around jets in the master tub, cobwebs in corner of bathroom, kitchen grill was covered in grease, and we found bachelorette party confetti under the couch). As others have said, the kitchen pots/pans were similar to dorm room quality and dishes in cabinets were filthy (not the property’s fault,but previous guests.) Luckily we didn’t need to use the bedroom next to the garage game room area. It smelled like someone’s dog had urinated in that area and an attempt was made to cover it with about a gallon of Febreeze (completely overpowering odor). Good yard. Overall an ok stay with a great location and view of the lake. We enjoyed many morning coffees in the sun room with the view.

Parking
Was happy with everything besides the fact that only 3 cars were allowed in the driveway even though it could fit well over 3 cars. Had come from out of town and we couldnt all drive together and when i called the people told me to park at the state park which was about 11 mins away which wasn’t convenient at all.

Great property and location
We enjoyed the lake frontage and location! The hot tub was great after a day of hiking. A tad challenging to communicate over vrbo, but quick to respond if called directly. Would recommend updating cookware (quite wobbly).

Great house, great view, great time
This house is exactly as described and shown in the pictures. We used the sun room at the front of the house all day for eating, relaxing, and having fun. Beautiful view of the lake, great hot tub, plenty of room, loved the indoor grill - but recommend someone provides instructions on how to light it - kayaks are a great added value. Would highly recommend.
