This home sits on over 75 feet of lake-frontage with a large deck overlooking the crystal clear water of Cayuga Lake. The cottage has a completely open floor plan with stunning lake views from anywhere in the house. In addition, the home sits on a double lot with a large grass area perfect for volleyball, badminton, or just a place to relax.

Eagles Nest is over 1500 square feet, with an open design that takes advantage of the 180-degree lake views. Knowing the lake is the central focus, this house has a sliding glass door and a wall of windows overlooking the large deck and lake. Eagles Nest is a four-season home designed with comfort in mind with full central air and heat so you can take advantage of this secluded area all year.

Inside, there is space for six people to sleep comfortably. For more than 6, please get in touch with us. Eagles Nest is a classic Cape Cod home with three bedrooms upstairs and one and a half baths down stars, giving our guests lots of privacy. Two bedrooms are furnished with queen beds, and the third has a full-size bed. The bedrooms are connected by a common room upstairs for additional space.

Eagles Nest is well-outfitted for your stay and includes a washer and dryer and a well-equipped kitchen with pots, pans, and utensils to make your stay as relaxing as possible. The home has a 47’ Roku-enabled TV with cable, Wi-Fi, and many board games. Outside, you will enjoy the deck overlooking the lake with plenty of lounge seating, a large gas grill, a 40-foot dock, and a large fire pit on the shore of the lake.

But that is just the beginning. Eagles Nest is adjacent to the Montezuma Wildlife Preserve, so our guests can access some of the region’s most spectacular bird and wildlife viewing from the comfort of the living room. Additionally, the home is just a mile from John Harris Park in Cayuga, a beautifully maintained sand beach with lifeguards and plenty of parking.

And for those who want to venture out, Eagles Nest sits at the top of the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail, giving you access to some of the finest wines the Finger Lakes area offers. This is all on top of some of the area’s great attractions, including the Seneca Falls historic sites, four golf courses within 5 miles, Taughannock Falls, Buttermilk Falls, Waterloo Premium Outlets, and the beautiful town of Ithaca. Let’s add the expansive Finger Lakes Trail just south of Ithaca, the Montezuma Wildlife Preserve Trail, Seneca Meadows, and a ton of other hiking and biking trails.

And if that wasn’t enough, the new Del Lago Casino is less than 7 miles from home. You and your family will have an unforgettable vacation with all the things to do.

There are so many things to do in the area it’s hard to list them all. In addition to what is listed in the description, these two guides will help you plan your visit.

Everything was great!

The house was great, clean, comfortable, and what a view! Beautiful sunsets. The only thing we'd love even more is easier swimming access. There's a great dock to the water, but too high to get back in if you enter the water there. Climbing on the rocks is doable to get in and out, just not easy. Thanks for a great week! Would stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage is great! The location is very nice and close to places we wanted to go. The week went fast as vacation tends to do.

Enjoyed a quiet stay with beautiful lake views. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. The deck offered beautiful lake views and sunsets. Our only disappointment was that swimming was difficult. Would have liked a ladder off the dock.

Everything about our stay was easy starting with the initial contact with the owner answering our questions to the day we left. The house was exactly as pictured and had everything we needed for our stay.

We had a wonderful time. The house was extremely clean and very well stocked. The owner was very attentive and answered us immediately with questions we had. The dock was great for our boat. The only negative was the driveway. We were told there would be room to back our boat and trailer in. That is absolutely not true. We have a 22 foot bass boat with a dual axle trailer. There is no way possible to get that maneuvered around. Luckily, Lock View Marina was right down the street and saved our vacation. Unfortunately, it cost us an extra $140.00 that we weren’t expecting, but so thankful they could accommodate us. All in all, great place just make prior arrangements for your boat.

Great place for a family vacation. We enjoyed seeing the osprey, having a dock for our boat, and a beautiful deck.

The house was very comfortable and clean. The view was beautiful, with jumping fish to entertain us as we relaxed on the deck. The location was very convenient to Seneca Falls, Aurora and the Montezuma Wildlife Refuge. I would definitely stay here again.
