About this house rental

The Lake House Complex includes the 2,200 square foot Lake House, the Lake Cottage (brand new May 2019) and Bunk House (brand new May 2019). Situated next to each other on our beach (400 feet of frontage!), they're a great way for large groups to spread out and enjoy a beautiful site on scenic Cayuga Lake.

***May through Labor Day and Columbus Day weekend, we rent the Lake House, Bunk House and Lake Cottage as a single unit because of their close proximity. In the off-season (excluding Columbus Day weekend), they can be rented separately. Please message us for the listings for the units individually.***

Relax with friends or family on the deck after a day on Cayuga Lake! Perfect for entertaining large groups! Enjoy a fire on the beach or swim from the adjacent beach.

Lake House: 2-floor, 2,200 sq. ft. house boasts 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

Renovations over winter 2019 included a brand-new kitchen (including wine fridge!), new flooring, fresh paint, and hotel-quality bedding and towels!

Open-plan configuration with dining room, living room, and full kitchen on main (top) floor, along with a full bathroom and two bedrooms. (1 with a queen bed and 1 with king bed and a day bed w/pull out twin, sleeping 4.)

Lower floor has 3 bedrooms (king, queen and bunk beds), a full bathroom, and another area to relax. (One sofa has a full-size pull-out.)

Lake Cottage: 1 bedroom with spectacular lake views and a memory foam king bed. Full kitchen and bathroom, as well as a living room with air conditioning/heating, television, propane BBQ, outdoor furniture and fire pit. Gut renovation in spring 2019!

The lake house is accessed down a flight of ~50 steps. Guests with limited mobility or who wish to drop off people and/or gear, can use our boat ramp that is adjacent to the Lake House Complex. Guests can be dropped on the beach and it is about 8 steps to the upper level of the Lake House. (The Lake Cottage is on one floor, 1 step above the beach.)

The Spotted Sandpiper is located in the woods with frontage on Cayuga Lake and bugs love the woods and water! They're savvy at finding their ways indoors. If the bugs are ever "bugging" you, we're always happy to help.

The property hosted 19 of us very comfortably. It had all the accommodations you could ask for. Host Jordan and his father, Michael, are the nicest people to work with. Unique property - highly recommend.

My three adult kids, 4 grandkids and friends and myself spent 10 nights and 9 days at this lakefront property. Fishing, jet skiing, splashing in the water, swimming in the lake, inside and outside games, reading on the dock or porch and campfires kept us entertained and thoroughly enjoying a very meaningful vacation!

Great location on Cayuga lake - quiet and peaceful but also very convenient to Ithaca and local wineries. The lake house complex held 11 of us comfortably and is a great set up for families/groups

My family (16 adults and teens) stayed for 3 nights at Sandpiper lakehouse. We rented the house, cottage nextdoor and bunk house. There were so many various sleeping spaces that everyone had their own. We really loved the private beach/dock area with kayaks and paddle boards. They just added a water mat to the dock when we arrived which made the kids even happier. The main draw for this rental was the lake access and space for 5 families.

For context, we had a group of 12 stay in the area for a 40th birthday with a trip to Watkins Glen for the NASCAR race. The property is exactly as described. The house was well situated on the lake with two floors and three bedrooms on each floor. The living area was big on both floors and included all the amenities one needed in the kitchen. The cabin was great for one family to have to themselves as it had its own bathroom and kitchen and living room. The grills worked great and allowed us to cook some meals lakeside. The fire pit and chairs were nice to use each night after the sun went down. I didn’t realize they had folding tables and cornhole or I would have saved room in the truck and not brought mine! Check in was easy, with the owners communicating what to do ahead of time as well as leaving clear instructions for what to do if there was an issue and for checking out. I’d absolute recommend staying here for a big group. There was plenty of room for more than the 12 of us (we only used one bed in the four bed bunkhouse and I assigned queen and full beds to some of the single females). Importantly…the stairs leading down to the property are extremely sturdy. You may look at them at first and be worried but they were very well constructed. The walkway as a whole was well lit and made going back and forth between the parking spot and the house while unloading upon arrival very easy. Plenty to do within 30-35 minutes!!!

We were 13 Cornell alumnae visiting for our 40th reunion. The house is rustic but clean, lots of indoor and outdoor living spaces, comfortable beds, and a well-appointed kitchen. The owners were very responsive to a couple of issues we had. Being right on the lake was fantastic. Too cold for swimming, but kayaking was great. There are lots of stairs leading down to the lake house, but there is a boat ramp for an all-wheel drive car that is helpful for unpacking and packing your belongings. 25 minute drive to Cornell. Overall, a great place to spend a long weekend with friends!

Maybe what to expect with a lake house, but we felt there were some really easy opportunities to freshen things up and make the place seem cleaner, brighter, airier. But, at the same time it fit our needs and the properties were enjoyable for our family.
