About this cabin rental
Welcome to Cayuga Cabins. You've found one of the top vacation rental properties in the Finger Lakes! Read the reviews and see for yourself - you will fall in LOVE with Cayuga Cabins.
In July 2021, we completed a huge renovation, and added a massive 650 sf outdoor lounging and dining space, built in the traditional timber frame style by local Amish craftsmen. It is simply breathtaking, and makes our property an even more special place to visit. Check out the pictures!
HIGHLIGHTS & KEY FEATURES
*** 2 waterfront cabins on 1.3 acres in Lansing, NY on the East side of Cayuga Lake, both air conditioned and heated *** Total of 6 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms *** 11 total beds (see bedroom configuration below) *** Game room with pool table and dartboard *** 220 feet of pristine lakefront with dock, boat hoist, swimming cove, and 4 kayaks for your morning exercise *** Stunning chef's kitchen and farm table for family dining *** Experienced owner and staff. We're good at what we do and we make sure our guests are happy! ***
THE MAIN HOUSE
The main house is a traditional log cabin with 4 bedrooms. In the great room, you'll be greeted by Wally the Moose who keeps watch from his perch above the fireplace (he's always a hit with kids). The main floor has 2 bedrooms - the master suite (fully renovated in 2013) with a king bed, and a guest room with a queen bed. The kitchen (renovated in 2014) is built for a crowd with ample cupboard and prep space, a large refrigerator, and a 48 inch Viking range with double ovens. Upstairs you'll find a cozy sleeping space with 2 twin beds. The basement is split into 2 rooms - one holds 2 more twin beds with an attached full bath, and the other is the Big Red Room, our Cornell-themed game room with a pool table and dartboard.
THE GUEST HOUSE
The guest house is perfect for kids or a family unit. Bedroom 1 holds bunk beds (2 twin) and a queen bed and bedroom 2 holds a queen bed. The den has seating for the crew, plus a full bathroom.
AROUND THE PROPERTY
You'll have lots of space for your outdoor enjoyment. We have a Weber barbecue grill on the back porch of the main house, plus outdoor picnic tables. In the yard you'll find a beautiful firepit with outdoor seating. The yard is large and gives you plenty of room for playing catch, kicking a soccer ball, or practicing some chip shots.
To get down to the waterfront, you'll cross the railroad tracks that go along the east side of the lake. This is an active railroad, however, seeing trains is quite rare, and when you do, they are very slow and very loud. The few guests we've had who have seen them thought it added even more charm to their vacation.
From there you'll head down a set of steps to the landing, our large deck atop the boat house with lots of seats and a gazebo for shade. One more level of stairs takes you to the beach, where you'll find 4 kayaks for your enjoyment, a dock with boat hoist, and a perfect swimming cove that gently slopes into the water.
IN THE AREA
Lansing is in the heart of the Finger Lakes. We are approximately 20 minutes from Ithaca, 1 hour from Syracuse, and 4 hours from NYC. In our area you'll find restaurants, shopping, golf, wineries, hiking, state parks, and more.

Beautiful setting and comfortable cabins, wonderful host.

Cayuga Cabins is an excellent spot right on the water of Lake Cayuga. My group of 12 was very comfortable with ample space and plenty of beds. We thoroughly enjoyed hanging out on the spacious porch, sitting around the firepit, and taking the kayaks out on the lake. The property is very clean and well-maintained.
The host, Steve, is excellent as well. He is very responsive and eager to answer any questions about your stay. He also provides recommendations for things to do in the area.
I would definitely stay here again!

Our group of women from Cornell Class of 2012 and our partners (and a couple of babies!) had an amazing stay at this property the weekend of the total eclipse. The two houses were perfect for our large group and the lake views were unbeatable. The host Steve was incredibly responsive leading up to, during, and after the trip, going above and beyond to make sure a pack'n'play was set up for my friend's 1.5yo and to look for a pair of missing lost ear buds after we left. If/when we ever plan another trip to Ithaca as a group we will definitely consider staying here again!

We hosted our first "escape to the lake" womens retreat, and this location was perfect for us. We enjoyed a trip to the local waterfalls and spent time bybthe lake and around the fireplace. The kitchen was well suited for making incredible meals and gathering at the big table for conversation and connection. The wrap around porch was delightful for afternoon reading and conversations. It was a great location and experience!

This was truly the perfect vacation home! It was an excellent location and vibe! We couldn’t have asked for a better place to start the New Year!

What a beautiful location and property! It was really clean and handled our group of ten with ease. The covered, wrap around porch was a favorite place to have our dinners. One thing was that we couldn’t find some kitchen amenities that we are accustomed to at VRBO, like salt and pepper shakers- But there were both keurig and drip coffee makers, which was great for our size group. We highly recommend!

We had an amazing long weekend at the Cayuga Cabins and really enjoyed the beautiful house and property! There was plenty of space for 11 of us and everything was updated and well maintained. The kitchen was fully stocked which made cooking dinners and relaxing at night very easy. We had beautiful weather and enjoyed a few sunsets down by the dock. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and highly recommend. We hope to come back next October!

My 8 girlfriends and I, all over 60 years old, spent four nights at this beautiful property in early October 2022. The entire process went very smoothly, from our initial inquiries, to booking, to arrival and departure. Our stay was more than we could have hoped for, thanks to the terrific accommodations. The home and grounds are lovely, the kitchen well equipped, the living areas and bedrooms were comfortable. We loved being able to sit together, all of us, on the side deck, at the fire pit, at the dining room table, etc. Everything about our stay went smoothly, thanks to the attention to detail by the property owner.

This house was spectacular! Perfect for a group of 14. Great views of the lake, fire pit, wrap around deck, close to Cayuga wine trail and all of the others! Host and property manager were awesome. Everyone in the group had an amazing stay. Highly recommend!

The property was rustic in a positive way -- it was exactly what we were looking for. It was our first experience renting a house and bringing our dogs and it could not have been better. The house and property is well kept, the kitchen well stocked and the owner was super helpful.

This was a great spot for our family. The setting and outdoor space are wonderful. The large wrap around deck, fire pit and lake area where our favorite spots! House was very clean and a nice spot for a group or family. Steve, the host, was very responsive and gave us some great recommendations for the area.

The main cabin has a wrap-around deck and a spacious porch for relaxed family gatherings. Dine on the porch overlooking Lake Cayuga or inside, at tables that seat 10. My grandkids enjoyed swimming in the lake, s'mores at the fire pit, and water balloon battles on the lawn. The adults enjoyed reading, knitting, quiet early morning coffee listening to the birds and after-dinner games.

We had a nice family reunion at this property. Don't be afraid of the railroad tracks between the house and the water. We never heard/saw a train the whole August week we stayed. Very quiet. While the log cabin home was too dark to spend much time in, we greatly enjoyed being outside on the expansive and comfortable deck. The kitchen has all the amenities you need to cook for a crowd.

We spent 11 days at this beautiful and peaceful 2 cabin property. Steve is an awesome host, very quick in response to your email or text. He also gave us many recommendations , which we appreciated.
The cabins fit our family perfectly. We even brought our own boat which was easy to get into the marina and then to their dock.
The biggest plus was the newly added covered porch! It was amazing and this is where we spent most of our time.
We also appreciated the motion sensor light between the 2 cabins, making it easy to go back and forth at night.
Our family had the best time making memories and we would definitely come back!

Our family just enjoyed a week at Cayuga Cabins. There was plenty of room for the 12 of us to spread out in the 2 houses. The lawn in front of the house was a great place for the kids and dog to run around and play. The host provided cornhole and kayaks and the indoor game room is certainly an added bonus as well. It's 40 plus steps down to the lake but the deck overlooking the lake was a great place to relax, read and enjoy the view. Steve, the host, was very responsive and easy to interact with. Highly recommend for a large group.

Beautiful location on Cayuga Lake. New deck and sitting area is where our family of 12 spend most of our time. Aside from the master BR, sleeping arrangements were in our opinion subpar for the summer rental rates. Lower boathouse could use a cleaning and painting and tree branches trimmed. Again, for the price I would expect more. A lot of positives though and communication with the owner was very good.

This lakehouse more than made up for several weather and pandemic-related disruptions to our trip. The owner was attentive, and provided a plethora of amenities and information to maximize your time at the house and area. The photos don't do the place justice. The house had everything needed for cooking and comfort. The new deck is an amazing feature -- a place to gather for meals and spend the evening (if you don't go for the fire pit). Sitting by the water's edge each evening for sunsets will be a forever memory. We will look forward to returning!

Gourmet super well equipped kitchen. Spectacular covered deck. Shaded spacious private lot and yard with room for games and fire pit. Everything as it is described in the website, but the views of Cayuga Lake are even better. Owner extremely pleasant and responsive and eager to make the stay enjoyable. Saved me time by giving me sure fire tip on how to start catching fish from the dock and arranged for and extra table to be available when one of our group remote required workspace. WiFi was solid. We are experienced vacation renters and this facility/ownership ranks at the top!!!

My extended family of 14 spent a wonderful week at Cayuga Cabins in mid-July 2021. We were treated to the brand new, huge, gorgeous porch, where we ate all our meals and did a lot of hanging out. The temperate weather and gentle breeze were perfect. We also spent a lot of time on the boathouse deck down by the lake and around the campfire at night.
These two cabins were the cleanest rental units I have ever stayed in. The kitchen was equipped with great appliances and all the utensils and tools we needed. The gas grill was easy to use; you just need to give the second and third burners time to warm up.
We enjoyed visiting Cornell, the many waterfalls in the area, a couple local wineries, and we played tennis at the Ithaca High School courts. One warning - maybe don't bring a party of 10 people to dine at the Pub at Rogue's Harbor Inn; we waited a very long time for our food.
Communication with owner Steve was great. He checked on us a few times during the week and always responded promptly to any questions we had.
Great houses, stunning porch, beautiful views, fun on and around Cayuga Lake -- we couldn't ask for more! Highly, highly recommended!
