The house was perfect for us. Close to hiking, close to town, and on the lake. Best of all worlds! Highly recommend!

We stayed here while on a family vacation visiting Ithaca and the Finger Lakes region. The house is super clean and nice (basically brand new), private, and in a great location (<10 minutes from Ithaca). All bedding/pillows/towels are good quality. There's a stairway from the back deck down to the waterfront and we enjoyed swimming and kayaking (with the provided kayaks and stand up paddleboards). We also enjoyed the hot tub (new and clean), and just taking in the view! There are good hiking trails with waterfalls in the area, and also good places for meals in Ithaca. Ithaca Bakery was a frequent stop for breakfast/lunch, and The Boatyard Grill was our favorite for dinner (here's a tip: they don't take "reservations" but if you call after 3PM they take "call aheads" for a specific time that night, though we ended up waiting 20 minutes even with that). We loved the house and the area and would stay here again!

We had a great weekend away as a family here. The house was perfect, small but very clean and cute - just right for us and our kids. Loved hearing the water outside the window and enjoying the deck in the evenings. Close to many different activities. Would definitely stay at here again.

The property is fantastic. It surpassed all of our expectations and made our trip very special. Focal points were the hot tub, unique furnishings, lake views, and plenty of loons seen from the deck.

From first to last, the house was great. Everything is new. Fully equipped kitchen, and outdoor Blackstone (giant griddle) grill. Hot tub was perfect respite after some hikes. Best part, though, was phalanx of kayaks and paddle boards. We all got out on the water. Perhaps surprisingly, our adult kids were just fine sharing the bedroom which includes one bed and two separate upper bunk beds. So no need to set up the sofa bed in the main room.

The property is beautiful and has everything you need for a lake getaway. In addition to the brand new interior and perfect stay accommodations, we loved the large deck, bbq, hot tub, and areas to relax. We really appreciated having access to canoes, SUPs, water floats as well as life vests for everyone in the family. The house location was great with a short drive into Ithaca for restaurants and access to groceries, etc.

We had a fantastic few days on the lake! House and furnishings are new and clean. Kids had fun in the lofted space. Loved having access to kayaks and paddleboards. Close to both Ithaca downtown and lake activities. And the house was stocked with the necessities - we didn’t need to bring anything. Thanks Chris and Ellie! We’d love to come back.

What a great house to rent for our first visit. Super close to Ithaca so driving, boating, uber are all easy ways to get to great restaurants. The house is newly renovated and super clean. The giant deck makes for a very enjoyable and relaxing atmosphere. Great air conditioning and super comfortable beds. Host is super helpful and always available to answer questions. We will be back!!
