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 enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home with amazing views and everything we could need right there on the property!
5.0 / 5.0
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.

location and views are incredible
5.0 / 5.0
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.

My friends and I having been taking a yearly trip together and this year was the tenth anniversary so we wanted everything to be special. The house was amazing! The rooms were perfect for the six of us and the kitchen and screened porch were great. We loved sitting outside by the lake and it was close to all the places we wanted to visit

The location and amount of lake frontage is why we chose this property & we were not disappointed!
PROS: house is huge, plenty of towels & supplies, very long lake frontage, 2 docks, incredible huge screened in porch overlooking lake, fenced in yard - perfect for our dog!
CONS: not quite as clean as I would have liked & the air conditioning was fine on the 1st floor, but the upstairs was warm.

Our extended family stayed 11 days - a wonderful experience for all. The house is beautiful and its spot on the lake is idyllic. Kayaks, fire pit, porch beyond belief. State park a lovely 20 min walk away. Would do it again for sure.

The house was exactly as advertised and even bigger than we expected. It was perfect for our friend group. We spent A LOT of time on the screened-in back porch. It seemed to be the favorite part of the house throughout our time there!

Nice house, needs a lot of outside work, repairs are being neglected, and cleaned up on the outside.
2.5 / 5.0
Overall the property was great. The interior was beautiful and clean for the most part. There were plenty of supplies available and met all our needs easily for a family of six with an infant and two dogs. The large fenced in yard was perfect for the dogs.
Even with a very pregnant daughter-in-law the stairs to the waterfront worked well and we enjoyed using the rowboat and kayaks. Also, there were plenty of chairs there for us to sit around the fire pit in the evening. The amazing view was the best part of our stay! Able to witness a couple gorgeous sunrises and moonrises over the lake.
On the down side, the outside of the house appeared to lack any upkeep. The windows were dirty outside and the windowsills inside were also filthy. We were disappointed with the poor condition of the screened in porch, although the owner was very responsive when informed of the ripped screen doors. Did not seem like the porch had a good cleaning in a long time. We would have like to have spent more time on the porch had it been.

The long weekend with family and friends was awesome. The location was great and the house accommodated our large group of 13. We used the kayaks and had a good time down by the lake.

We wanted one last little vacay before the start of a crazy school year. We had enough space for a family of 6 and visiting friends. We just needed our dood! Everything was available and then some. There was plenty of things for kids to do outside, age ranges from 1-12.

Clean responsive host and great to be able to use several kayaks and a canoe

This house was perfect for our trip. There was 9 adults and 2 kids ages 1 and 4. There was a fenced in yard and good sized bedrooms. Not too much parking in the driveway but there was some spots if you park in front of the house off the road.

We were here from Thursday until Monday. Weather was perfect. We fished, kayaked and soaked in the sun everyday. This is our 2nd stay at this lake house and we plan to come again.!

This house sits high above the lake with spectacular views all around. Stairs lead down to the lakeside where there are two docks, kayaks, a canoe, and a fire pit. On several occasions, grey herons stopped by for a visit. The sunrises were spectacular on the large screened-in porch and the large side yard with grand views of the lake was a surprise bonus for our week. Reading and dozing there was relaxing, and the barn on that side provided quiet privacy as well. Pluses were a well-supplied kitchen and laundry, lots of quiet corners for readers and remote workers to do their thing thanks to reliable WiFi. We did not have little ones but I am sure families with kids with love the generous supply of puzzles, games, TVs, and swimming and fishing gear. Comfy seats in the living room and an oversized dining table overlooking the lake worked great for our group of six adults. It’s an old house by the lake so it’s not in pristine condition but the location, the views, and the spaciousness more than made up for any cosmetic shortcomings. Ideal for large family reunions and gatherings.

The house was in a great location. We loved how close the public boat launch was as we were able to conveniently keep our boat docked right at the house so our sons could fish numerous times throughout the stay. It was also closely situated a short drive from several good wineries. We also enjoyed watching the sunrises each morning as well.

The house fit us perfectly (4 adults and 4 teenagers). The house had all the basic features necessary for a relaxing lake life experience.

Our week at the Lake House could not have been more perfect! The house is huge and was immaculate when we arrived. We had 11 people arranging from 7 to 67 years old and everyone had a wonderful time and will have lasting memories. It's so great that pets are allowed also! The location is perfect and we enjoyed the large side yard for games and of course the lake frontage too! Amy is great to work with. We would definitely rent again!
