Cayuga Lake Holiday House | Waterfront w/ Sunset Views

We stayed here for a weekend as a family of 6, and the place was a great size for our group. It’s clearly been completely renovated on the inside, and it’s very tastefully done. There are even heated floors - a feature we didn’t need in June but thought would be so cozy for a cold evening. There were 4 kayaks for guest use and easy entry into the water via a small pebbled “beach” area to the side of the house, which we thoroughly enjoyed. We used the house as a base to visit Ithaca, and it was an easy drive, and fun to come back to the beautiful water views and cozy house at the end of each day.

Beautiful water views and cozy house

We had an amazing stay here and would absolutely come back. The home was beautifully furnished, very clean, and had everything we needed to feel comfortable throughout our trip.

The location was one of the best parts. Being right next to the water was so peaceful, and having access to the dock made it even more special. We loved spending time outside enjoying the view, especially in the mornings and evenings. The scenery was absolutely gorgeous and made the whole stay feel relaxing and memorable.

Beautiful lake home

This house is beautiful - the back half of the house is build over the lake. The house is decorated beautifully. The floor plan is open and the kitchen/living room area walls are all glass sliding doors. The bed rooms and bathrooms are beautiful. The kitchen has all the equipment that you need to cook and there is a bbq on the deck. There are some spices and things like oil and syrup but you’ll need to supply food and condiments. There are “toys” to use in the lake and also things like games and books to use in the house. There are also things for the kids like baby gates and little stools. The lake is beautiful and the sunset is amazing. Outside the front door there is a little waterfall on the rocks across the street which is really lovely. We had rain during our stay which made the waterfall more “lively”. We did not get to is the lake as it was too early in the season and we even got a little snow!

Beautiful house overlooking the lake

A newly remodeled lake house that is excellent for a few days of vacation stay. We came primarily for our son’s graduation commencement at Cornell. Although not really for a vacation stay, the place is so nice and relaxing that we would love to come back again soon.

Relaxing lake house that is excellent for vacation

The beautiful window wrapped living room did not disappoint…..views for miles. The updates to the home were high end finishes and beautifully designed.
