We had the best time here and didn't want to leave! The views are incredible!! I loved spending my mornings down by the water watching the beautiful sunrise over the lake! Randall is a fantastic host and provided all the info we could need to navigate the property and the area. He also went above and beyond by letting us know as soon as the house was ready on the day of check in and allowed us to extend our check out time as well! We really appreciated that the house was stocked with paper goods, coffee, and even firewood for the fire pit. We had everything we needed during our stay. The house is in a great location. Only minutes from downtown but in a very quiet secluded area! I am so appreciative of the accommodating pet policy! We stayed here with our dogs and they had so much fun! There are gates on the deck so we could keep the dogs contained when we were out there. The access to the lake was perfect! The dock area is secluded enough that the dogs were able to play in the water freely without disturbing the neighbors. There is a graded area that slopes right into the water so the dogs were able to walk in and out with ease and it gets deep enough near the shore that they were able to stay close and swim. Ithaca was a very dog friendly city! There were plenty of nearby restaurants that allowed dogs and countless hiking trails with breathtaking views of all the waterfalls! I would absolutely recommend staying here! We will definitely be back!

We really enjoyed our stay at this lake house. Plenty of space for the 3 of us, comfortable, lots of outdoor space. Listing is very accurate. We appreciated the use of the kayaks/floats and it was really nice that staples were provided (I hate buying ketchup on vacation and using 10% of it). House is close to downtown. Owner was really easy to work with and very communicative. We are very happy and will definitely look to rent here again next time we’re in Ithaca.

My husband and our couple friends stayed for a few nights. The driveway down is a bit steep but I felt safe. The spiral staircase is thin, but again safe enough. The views and amenities (kayaks, floats etc) were stunning. I seriously could not get enough of the views and birds. The jacuzzi was a phenomenal retreat after a long day of hiking. 15 min drive to anywhere you want to go in Ithaca. Would 100% recommend.

Pictures do not the property justice, great space and supplies available to just show up and begin enjoying our trip. The property manager was incredibly helpful with instructions and diagrams to make arrival/departure smooth. And anything we needed to communicate during our stay he was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with overall.

We enjoyed our stay here. The house is beautiful with a well stocked kitchen for cooking, great hot tub, and beautiful lake views. You’re only minutes from everything in the Ithaca area while still being out of the city. The Blackstone rail to trail is also just across the road.
