Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Cayuga Lake

Drift away was a wonderful cottage right on the lake. Place was extremely comfortable. Beautiful views. We didn’t have the greatest weather which would have made the trip so much better, so we hope to plan a trip back soon.

Easily now one of our favorite places to stay! Absolutely spotless and in a peaceful locale (we even saw a woodpecker!) Drivable to both Seneca and Cayuga and to Ithaca. Major kudos to Diane and Glen for not only creating a charming and welcoming space with so much thought and care, but ALSO for making it affordable! I have had some terrible, terrible experiences with AirBnB hosts cancelling my reservations to gauge me for more money when they realize it's commencement for one of the colleges, even if that's not remotely the reason for our visit. Finding this listing was fate! I will definitely try to book again in the future. And hopefully the weather will be nicer!

Second time staying here--Will be back again!!! Great hosts and really unique and peaceful location and home. I'd say that the photos are accurate but the place is actually even better in person!

We had a great time here! Chris gave us incredible food and activity recommendations making our stay extremely worthwhile. He was responsive and helpful throughout the entire weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here- the views were incredible, the dock was so peaceful, and we loved having access to a fire pit. The driveway is pretty steep, required to walk up/down to access the dock. Our stay was perfect, can't wait to return.

This was a great house in a great location. Communication from owners was excellent, and house was well set up for guests. Would definitely stay here again.

With several beautiful wineries close by, the location was perfect for a weekend trip with my mom & sisters. Sarah and team were proactive in their communications and left a lovely welcome gift for us to enjoy during our stay. The house decor/aesthetic was welcoming and cozy as well — plenty of space for the four of us to relax and sleep comfortably!

Everything was wonderful and we had a great time. The house was perfect and the road was virtually free of traffic and noise. We would absolutely come back. Seneca Falls is such a cute little town with lots to do within an hours drive.

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to stay for our college reunion. It was perfect for 3 couples. Easy walking distance to all activities, the lake, restaurants, bars, and downtown. Easy check-in, and simple check-out. We will definitely be staying here again!

When we walked in the airbnb, I though someone was playing piano next door, but there was a soothing piano playlist on the TV. The heat and air was already on and set at a comfortable temperature, as well, which was lovely because it was cold and rainy. There were books with suggestions on what to do around the area. We had everything we needed here, and we were very thankful that bottled water was provided! We actually ran into Christopher and he is such a friendly man.

Richard is an excellent host! Easy check-in and check-out! The location is great! A quiet gate away, but about 10 10-minute drive to Cornell and Ithaca. The place is very clean and provides a lot of supplies, food, snacks, and necessities! Very thoughtful. The communication is excellent! Very clear instructions and very responsive Very pleasant stay!

Karen was an exceptional host. She greeted us and made sure to answer any questions we may have had. She guided us to some local places to eat. Karen has a comfortable private space attached to her home and cannot wait to return.

My parents and I had a great trip to Cortland for my nephew's graduation. The house was very nice and had everything we needed. The hot tub was lovely and the back yard has beautiful gardens. Arnaud was helpful and responsive. We enjoyed staying here.

We loved Glenn and Dianna's place. All the furniture, decor, etc. was great for relaxing and unwinding. The deck (with firepit and grill) has a breathaking view of Seneca Lake, and there are so many restaurants, wineries, breweries, etc. all within a few miles. Also easy access to Watkins Glen and its walkable, quaint downtown. The message we received for checking in was probably the most detailed and helpful we've gotten from any host. Very precise directions for parking, entering the apartment, etc., and lots of information about local restaurants, wineries, etc. It was a pleasure meeting them both, as they are super friendly and genuinely nice people. It is about a half hour or a little more to Ithaca from here (we were in the area for our daughter's college graduation), with an easy trip over scenic back roads. Absolutely would recommend to anyone looking for a picturesque, private and comfortable spot in the heart of the Finger Lakes.

This apartment was a great location for us. We’ll definitely be back.

Our stay in Auburn was fantastic! Beautiful older home that was comfortably renovated and well kept. Unbeatable location right near downtown.

Our only regret is this: We didn’t have more time to spend relaxing and enjoying Melissa’s place. Melissa is a wonderful host. She met us at the door, showed us around, and left a wonderful variety of treats and thoughtful items like coffee, eggs, oatmeal, and sourdough bread. Her place was spotless, and the beds were so comfortable! I was angry when my alarm went off and I had to get up to leave! Next time in Ithaca, I hope to be able to stay there again.

This location is great! You can walk to many restaurants and Marinas! The house is very new and clean. It was perfect for our family of four. We will definitely stay again in the future.

Th space was immaculate, well maintained, nicely designed as well as decorated. Our only concern was that there was no stove for our teenage son to cook on. There was a microwave and toaster broiler that worked just fine for him. However, the sauna was an amazing perk. The setting was very calm and relaxed. Rachel was an excellent host and left a kind graduation card and bottle of Spumante for us to celebrate our daughter’s college graduation. We would highly recommend this space and would rent again. Thank you, Rachel!

If you're going to Elmira this is the single best place to stay. I think Elmira has a lot of potential, the only negative is it's just starting to go down the road of reaching that potential. This Airbnb and the businesses associated with Rye around it are the people taking those first steps. Stay here, it is incredible. Help these people keep doing what they're doing.

Comfortable space in great neighborhood. I arrived late at night and it was a bit stressful to find the door hidden in a little walkway but after that very easy to get in. The condo was nicely laid out and the location was fun- walkable restaurants and museums. Bathroom sink was clogged but it really didn’t bother me too much. Nice big washer and dryer and air conditioning to make the space very comfortable. It is on the street above lively bar scene but was pretty quiet inside.

Lovely cabin that was perfect for our family! I would definitely come back!

We had a wonderful stay. The views were absolutely stunning. It was a perfect way to ring in the new year. Amy was very responsive, and the house was perfect. We hope to return one day.

Eileen's place exceeded our expectations. We loved the place and the location. We definitely would come back the next time we were in Syracuse.. We also enjoyed that Phoebes restaurant was so close and the food was good.

We stayed for 2 nights while visiting Syracuse U. Fantastic location in downtown and within easy reach of the university. Restaurants and more just steps away yet the condo was very peaceful with a neighborhood vibe and the nearby park was perfect for our pup. Would definitely stay here again.
