About this cottage rental

Update: we have recently finished remodeling the kitchen and bath area. Some photos are up. Will have new photos up as soon as we clean up.

A quiet, quaint lakefront cottage located 2 miles in on a private dirt road, great for walking or bike rides. Cottage is on the east side of the lake, close to Aurora, and several wineries and restaurants.

This is our vacation paradise. When we are not enjoying it with family and friends we rent it out. We don’t treat it as a rental. It has the quirkiness that comes from being our cottage. We are always changing, adding, updating. Our very first renter still comes back every year and looks for what we changed or added. Our cottage has over 200 feet of level beachfront, small dock, and is on a more secluded part of Cayuga lake. On the east shore so there are amazing sunsets. The cottage itself has one large camp style bedroom with one double bed and a twin over full bunk bed. Has a living/dining room, fully equipped kitchen, and bathroom with shower. The outside features a large wraparound covered porch with lots of seating, and amazing views. There is also a sun deck, and BBQ area. Note: There is no tv, or internet. If you are looking for a quiet place to get away from it all and unwind this is it!!!

Brad was so personable and great on the details and plenty of stocked items . To write the following things trouble me because Brad was So Great. Friday evening Brad even reached out to let us know how to turn the heat on because he knew the temps were going to drop. My number one issue … I’ve never arrived at a rental that was so filthy. Surfaces were not clean. Coffee pot caked with old coffee . Anything you pulled from the drawers had to be washed first. Floors so dirty . In great need of being swept and scrubbed , covered in dog hair. First five minutes of our arrival the overwhelming smell was sour dish sponges . Later that night when my niece went to bed there were shorts and underwear on the floor around her bed. The second smell was found today which was a dead mouse and millipede . I appreciated being able to travel with my senior dog but got concerned when I saw the mouse. I started wondering if there was poison left out that I wasn’t aware of. The place itself if all concerns didn’t exist is a wonderful location with a very pleasant neighborhood. .Brad has it decorated so well and the outside says come , relax and enjoy.

This lakefront property was perfect for a quiet relaxing vacation. Small but well appointed. Based on our need to cook and sit by the lake it was great- wonderful kitchen and great location.

My sister, mother & I just completed a wonderful 3 nights at Brad’s cottage. We fell in love with the location, well-appointed spaces, great porch & deck. The views were so relaxing & scenic! Sleeping arrangements worked out fine & both kitchen & bath had everything we needed. Due to a slight mixup on my part, we arrived early & Brad was still on site. He was so kind & gracious. The whole vibe of the cottage is kick back & relax. So we did ;-) Thank you Brad for sharing your awesome place. And you were right- the breakfast at the Dugan Restaurant was amazing!!

I think if you are clear about what you want, this could be perfect for you. This is not a luxury cottage, close to lots of shopping, and fancy dining. This cottage is directly on the lake, surrounded by a couple miles of other lake cottages. Yet no one bothered me. I knew I wanted to unplug, so no internet and no television was perfect for me. I wanted peace and quiet. The neighbors gave a friendly wave and then left me alone, again, exactly what I wanted. If I had wanted to be more social, I could have just gone for a walk, where many people were enjoying chats. And there are plenty of wineries and places to visit, some close, some 45 minutes or so away. But I knew what I wanted. I rested, I watched an amazing thunderstorm and I read. If I had brought the kids, they would have loved the lake and would have been in it everyday. I really enjoyed sitting out on the deck enjoying the view. Brad had many options for cooking, multiple grills and lots of outdoor space to entertain. The kitchen and living room have been updated and were great spaces. I brought plenty of food and left a couple drinks for the next people.

The lake house was great! Unlike most of the other properties around it, this property has a large shoreline. Lots of space for families to play and a great spot for campfires by the lake. The house itself was clean, well furnished, and well stocked with essentials. Large deck on the back and side of the house has tons of room for hanging out and watching the lake. We're already discussing when we can go back!

Nice getaway on the beautiful Cayuga lake. Area is quiet and very peaceful with excellent access to the lake. Property feels very safe. Excellent fishing opportunities. House is clean and kitchen well stocked with spices, oils, etc. Grilling station is awesome, you have option of charcoal grill, smoker, or propane grill. Nice quiet low speed road with friendly neighbors. I look forward to coming back.

We really enjoyed our stay at the lake! Property is private and the covered porch has such a beautiful view, we ate all our meals out there. Long Point State Park is an easy bike ride from the house, and we thoroughly enjoyed using the kayaks and the canoe on the lake. Would recommend for anyone looking for a quiet get-away.

Brad was very helpful answering any questions we had and advising us about things to do in the area. He also provided us with a bunch of water, which was great as it was one less thing we had to worry about packing. None of us wanted to leave and looking forward to when we can return.

My family of 3 rented for a long weekend and it was just the ticket we needed to rejuvenate the soul! This adorable cottage was charming both inside and out and matched the pictures and description. We loved the little added quirks and personality all throughout the property. Brad was an exceptional host and checked on us a few times, gave us really good recommendations to nearby wineries and restaurants and made us feel very welcome. The property is perfect if you are looking to shut down life and explore what nature has to offer. The neighbors are all very friendly as well. We cannot wait to return!!
