About this house rental

The view of Cayuga Lake, from Lower Lake Lodge is unbelievable! The one of-a-kind view is not the only attraction however. The welcoming, charming and comfortable lake home built in 1848, offers many areas for relaxation, large and spacious living quarters and a beach front that's hard to match.

To the left of the foyer is a large living room with hardwood flooring, fireplace, and large screen smart TV. A beautiful screened-in porch with mahogany flooring can be entered through French doors off the living room and kitchen. Spend time reading, entertaining, or just enjoying the magnificent lake view. On the other side of the foyer is a half bath and laundry room with washer, dryer and utility sink. Just around the corner is the large spacious kitchen which includes dishwasher, microwave side-by-side refrigerator/freezer, wall oven, gas counter top stove, and a large window for the splendid view of Cayuga Lake.

Once on the second floor on the left is a full size bathroom with tub/shower unit. Bedroom one has two queens and one twin bed, along with a futon and TV. Also a very large walk in closet is available. A full size bath with stand up shower and separate jacuzzi bath tub completes this master room.

The second bedroom, has a queen bed, two dressers, a walk-in-closet with built-in drawers and private balcony with patio set. This room also has a TV. The third bedroom has a twin bed, a queen bed, a TV and a closet. The fourth bedroom has one double bed with walls of shelving and a small closet.

Enjoy a game of volleyball in the large side yard or walk down to the beach and enjoy the level yard along the lake shore. Lower Lake Lodge is located on the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail and is close to the NYS Thruway, Seneca Falls, Ithaca, Aurora, and the Waterloo Premium Outlets.

We rent weekly during the busy summer season, Saturday to Saturday. Long weekends and shorter stays are available outside of the summer rental season.

We have a good size family and need a place that will sleep up to 16 and this home was perfect! We loved the location and the view was amazing! The lake was warmer than we anticipated and we were thrilled that we could just float around and not be chilled. We loved everything about this house with the exception of the stairs down to the beach, we knew there were stairs but my old legs were yelling at me by the end of the week, haha. We will most definitely be considering a return next year! Plus being pet friendly was absolutely a super advantage for us and the dogs learned to swim while we were there! Thank You

Great stay with easy access to the water. The house was gorgeous with beautiful views. Lots of space to relax. Big lawn space both up top and by the lake, and kayaks and boats to use on the water. Thanks for a great stay!

Our group consisted of myself, friends, and my mother (93 years old), and my 2 Golden Retrievers. Most of our experience was super positive at this location. I'll also share some observations, and one GIANT NEGATIVE if you are a dog owner. Let's start with the view. OMG the view is stunning. We saw perfect sun and moon rises. On our last morning we were truly blessed to witness 2 Bald Eagles flying right before our eyes. Sitting on the porch at night musing over our days adventures was also a positive. This location is perfect for easy access to so many wineries, Observations, the knives in the butcher block are due to either be replaced or at least sharpened. I'd suggest putting the coffee filters in a more obvious space near the coffee pot. We used napkins the first morning before I finally found the filters on the very top pantry shelf in a solid basket. Windows in some bedrooms either don't open, or are a struggle. Keep in mind if you have children, to me it's a fire hazard. Lastly and most important to dogs. There are black walnut trees on this property which are TOXIC to dogs. My dogs had a great time swimming, but I immediately had to bring them in when they were done to avoid any risk. Overall, I would recommend staying here and we had a great time, but I couldn't do a repeat visit if I had my dogs with me. The risk is too great.

We had a wonderful time. The location was great, easy to get to and close to so many things - conveniences as well as interesting places. The property was very nice and comfortable, the screen porch was our favorite spot! We would have liked some cleats on at least one of the two docks to secure our boat and a dock that would accommodate a jet ski, but we made it work. The size of the property nicely accommodated our family. But, it should be noted that there are lots of steps to get to the water - but, it helped to work off some of the extra calories we were consuming! I would definitely recommend this lovely cottage.

we had a great time. The house is beautiful- stocked with essentials, clean, spacious. Beautiful view from kitchen, loved the front porch. The stairs to the water are a workout, yet we got used to them. stay exceeded our expectations and we will come again.

We had a lovely stay at this place. There was plenty of room for us to have our own rooms, and we couldn’t have asked for a more welcoming and homey spot. The view over the lake is spectacular. The host responded quickly when I contacted her. We would definitely consider staying here again.
