Vacation rentals with a kayak in Cayuga County

This is a great house in a beautiful place. Really great if you want to be outside and fully experience the lake. Walkout access to the lake and lots of "toys". We could see this being a lot of fun for groups of friends or couples as well. We were a family and it had what we needed, but could clearly support a more social setup too. Daniel was great. He called us as soon as we had a question and helped us several times. It had everything we wanted.

Owasco Lake is beautiful - crystal clear - and staying in Adam’s place almost felt like staying on a house boat since it’s RIGHT on/over the water. We loved hearing the waves lapping up against the shore and seeing the sun rise over the lake in the morning. The use of the 3 kayaks was great, and we also brought some inflatable SUPs for our kids - they had a blast on the lake. The house is also close to a Wegmans, a beautiful waterfall (Carpenter Falls), and a great brewery (Aurora Brewing Co). We all had a great time! The neighbors were SUPER friendly and Adam was very responsive to questions. The outdoor fire ‘pit’ on the patio was lovely, and there were plenty of life jackets and towels for the lake. My only complaint is that the house was a bit run down, and the middle bedroom was a bit warm because there was no AC in there. Overall though, a wonderful trip!

The Cape is a lovely home and has lots of "little extras" to make you feel right at home. This attention to detail definitely stands out.

My family and I had a great stay over the holidays. The place was as described, with three good sized bedrooms, nice bathrooms, and plenty of common space. Very dog friendly and games available to keep everyone occupied. It’s nicely set back from the road to feel more private and allow the dogs to roam in the yard without worry. We did leash the dogs by the lake because it was partly frozen but not totally. We enjoyed spending time by the fire and watching the snow fall, beautiful spot!

Wow... What a great place and what an outstanding host. I am conflicted to highlight how wonderful this property is as I fear it will drive more competition finding availability when we go to revisit Tina's place. The location on the lake is perfect. The cove is calm, shallow, and provides local boaters with a nice location to "raft up" and create festive flotillas... Not noisy or obnoxious... just fun. The house is perfect... the large top deck is wonderful. The game room and lower-level bar area were perfect for us to hang out when our granddaughter went to sleep. The kitchen was fully stocked with plates, silverware, pots, pans, gadgets, coffee makers, and a wonderful prep area. We cooked all but one evening and had multiple cooks working together with plenty of room. The house was clean and well maintained, and the local supermarket was well stocked (a little pricey...but you are on vacation, so don't think about it or take the short ride to Wegmans in Auburn). The location is really convenient to the whole Finger Lake region. As I started this review, this is a wonderful property and I hope I am not shooting myself in the foot by encouraging you to book it when we want to book it for our next visit. :-o

I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful lake house! The views all around the property were absolutely stunning, creating such a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. I was on a work trip with several coworkers, and the house was incredibly comfortable and huge—it truly felt like home. The space was clean, safe, and well-maintained, making it the perfect retreat after long workdays. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed to prepare a large family meal, which was a huge plus. Most importantly, our host, Abby, was amazing—she was incredibly kind, attentive, and thoughtful, anticipating our needs before we even had to ask. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a serene and welcoming getaway. Thank you, Abby, for such a great experience!

The location was a great choice for a nice, low key relaxing long weekend for our family of eight. The amenities the house provided far exceeded our expectations...from a fully stocked kitchen, including spices, etc. to a storage shed with several outdoor games and lake accessories, e.g. kayaks, life vests, tubes, floats, etc. Ample parking, easy access and the host was very accommodating with our flight schedules. Highly recommend!

Perfect for a family vacation on the lake! The house was spacious enough for 6 adults, a baby, and a dog. Beds were super comfortable. The kitchen was very well stocked. The deck and bbq was great for enjoying meals overlooking the lake. We had lots of fun taking out the kayaks and paddle boards.

We highly enjoying our stay at Samantha’s cottage. It was a beautiful weekend getaway and the fall foliage made it even better!! The kitchen was extremely clean, and had everything we needed to cook meals during our stay. We weren’t there long enough to use the washer and dryer but I was grateful to have it if needed. The house has lots of natural sunlight, and the covered porch was great when it rained or when we didn’t want to make the walk down to the lake.

We had a wonderful stay hanging out near the rivers edge. We were provided with ample firewood and smores as a welcome gift :) very thoughtful. We look forward to coming back during summer to do some kayaking

The house was clean and conveniently located. We found it to be very comfortable and cozy. The host provided a complimentary bottle of wine from the local vineyard which was very thoughtful. They also provided recommendations on what to do in the area. The only negative was that we thought the cleaning fee was a little high, especially when the host asks you to put the linens by the washer and to take the trash out to the dumpster at the end of the road. Overall we enjoyed our short overnight stay.

Location, location, location! Right on the water, hot tub was great, comfortable place and it was just perfect for us. We loved the local wineries and other activities and it was so nice to come back to that beautiful lake view at the end of the day. Thanks so much Nick and Chrissy! We would love to come back one day.

We had an incredible time at Jesse and Bernadette’s!! 10/10 would stay here the next time we visit the Finger Lakes. Truly magical. Falling asleep to the sound of the lake was a definite highlight.

Adam was an amazing host, always responsive and very helpful with recommendations in the area. The house was amazing and the lake view was gorgeous. Will be coming back.

The stay was absolutely wonderful! The house was impeccably clean, creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The view was nothing short of breathtaking, offering a perfect backdrop for relaxation and unforgettable moments. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Perfect lake location with a large flat yard and beach. Perfect for the grandchildren. Lots of water craft for guest use. Surprisingly little boat traffic on this part of the lake. Plenty of outdoor seating.Easy drive into town for supplies and dining. Hiking trails accessible right from the property. Cottage is rustic and quirky and about 100 yrs old but worked out fine for our family of 6 adults and 2 kids under 5. Kitchen was well supplied, nice sized living room for hanging out on rainy days (thanks hurricane Debby!). Big dining table for eating and playing board games. Washer/dryer came in handy. Plenty of towels! Jackie was a great host. Very responsive. We all fell in love with the amazing lakefront and would definitely return.

Nick was an excellent host. Very responsive to messages and available anytime I reached out. Would definitally stay again!

Nancy’s cottage was perfect for our little family of 4. We enjoyed card games on the back porch, meals al fresco w a beautiful lake view, and of course roasting marshmallows in the fire pit at sunset. The cottage was intimate and cozy and we hope to return on a regular basis. Thank you Nancy for being inviting and more than accommodating.

Heather’s s place has great views and a very peaceful atmosphere. A great place to relax after exploring the surrounding areas. We enjoyed a day hanging out close by and had a nice time on the lake in the kayaks provided. The screened in area was a great place to relax and enjoy the wildlife. We really enjoyed our time here! Heather and David were very accommodating hosts.

I was in for a long stay with work. This place was very peaceful and relaxing. Enjoyed the scenery of the lake and nature surrounding the house. House was very clean and up kept nicely as well. Thank you for the stay and absolutely recommend!
