Lake house vacation rentals in Ithaca

Beautiful lake views. Host was very responsive and accommodating. Clear instructions and communication. Home is older and could use some updating but was very clean with almost everything we needed. We did need to bring our own pack and play etc but we contacted ahead and knew to bring the necessary toddler items which was no problem for our party. Main floor was open and a great gathering space with large dining table. We overall had a pleasant and positive experience and we would stay again.

Rick & Kim’s place was absolutely incredible!! My boyfriend proposed to me on our trip and Rick & Kim’s response was overwhelming in the best way!! Cannot thank them enough for going above and beyond to make our stay that much more special. Looking forward to our next stay!!

Beautiful home on Lake Seneca with great views of the lake. The home was fully stocked and had plenty of room to spread out with 7 people staying there. Close to many wineries and distilleries. Be aware the road leading to the home is unpaved and in colder weather be sure to have four wheel drive. We will definitely be back to enjoy the views!

Lori's place was perfect for our annual visit to the Finger Lakes. She has thought of everything to make your stay comfortable- the beds are some of the most comfortable we've stayed in. The kitchen is well appointed with pots, pans, cooking utensils, and we were able to make breakfast every morning before heading out to the wineries- there is even a wine cooler for our favorite white wines! The weather was perfect, and we had our coffee on the back deck every morning by the lake, and enjoyed a blazing fire every night! This area offers so much to do and see, and Lori's place is a great location providing waterfront comfort, and close to the wineries and restaurants. We were able to visit Mackenzie Childs, do a free house tour, then shop in the store- highly recommended! We also went to Skaneateles for some fun girls shopping, took the boat tour, and visited Anyelas winery for live music with a beautiful view! Lori's place is perfect for visiting this area, we give it 5 stars!

Very late request for reservation and Nicole responded quickly and accommodated. Can not say enough about how beautiful the place was and how stunning the view you wake up to. Entire home was so clean, comfortable, and inviting. My family thoroughly enjoyed our time there and the children were begging for a week there in the summer time. Nicole was the most responsive and accommodating host I’ve encountered and I hope we are able to spend a week or two there in the summer. You feel like you are in your own world while being close enough to stores and towns to get what you need. Beautiful place, one of my favorite stays.

This Airbnb was the perfect fall getaway! We visited the lake to soak in the autumn vibes, and this spot exceeded our expectations. There was plenty of room for our group of five, and the host’s recommendations made our trip even better. While the area is known for summer fun, I think fall might be the best time to visit. We had an amazing time exploring the charming shops, cozy restaurants, and stunning waterfront spots, plus the nearby vineyards are a must-see. Can’t wait to return next year when the leaves are changing again—absolutely loved our stay!

David’s place was very clean! The dock worked really well. Communication with David was exceptional!

Great place for our group. We had 9 adults and 2 kids. Enough space to not feel on top of each other. Those with children really appreciated the amount of amenities in the house for them: crib, toys, books, etc. Really appreciated the local recommendations and access to kayaks/paddleboats. Very responsive if you have a question or need a rec on what to do/where to go.

A beautiful home in quiet neighborhood with amazing water views. Large, spacious rooms. Comfortable seating & dining areas both with walls of windows to enjoy the lake views. Short walk to local beach & close to town for shopping, restaurants, entertainment & park. House is just as described & host is quick to respond with answers to any questions. Excellent place to stay for vacation.

Great place! Beautiful views of the lake and fenced in yard for the pups. Enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit and kayaks as well!

This was our second time staying at Erin's place. We love it there! Exact same as the first time. Spotless and clean, comfortable beds and we absolutely loved hanging on the dock! So reasonably priced, too!

Enjoyed out time - sadly the weather wasn't the greatest but if you are here during the warmer weather I am sure it is fantastic. Very relaxing time and very clean home for our Easter weekend the home has a lot of space to spread out and enjoy reading etc. We had a lot of down time and everyone enjoyed the screened in area and the comfy beds sitting on the deck and the lake view. Pretty close to a few wineries and Wegman's which was great for all the meal prep as we didn't dine out much in the area but there are many places close by. A great time with our son from Syracuse Univ it was nice for him to get off campus and relax before stressful final projects and final exams and for us to meet him near SU- a little less than hour drive.

This house is gorgeous. Welcoming, warm, and spotless! You are directly on the lake with an incredible view and the sounds of the waves to lull you to sleep. And although the location is very peaceful, you are close to everything Geneva has to offer. Catharine was responsive and friendly. I would definitely stay here again!

Our family had a wonderful time staying at Nathalie's house. The view of the lake never got old (and is even more impressive in person), and the kids spent so much time playing down by the water's edge. The house inside had a great relaxed vibe, nice flow and was so cozy and inviting. The location felt private and secluded, but was an easy, short drive to downtown. Would def stay here again!

Another great stay at Michelle’s! We have stayed here previously in 2023 and came back with my parents who throughly enjoyed the layout and comfort of this airbnb! We were delighted with the new en suite bathroom! There was plentiful of space and coziness. Thank you for hosting us again! We will definitely be back :)

This property is beautiful! It's spacious and quiet with gorgeous lake views from both levels. We stayed in the winter and it was so peaceful. There is a hot tub but an unexpected issue made it unavailable just prior to my stay. The hosts were awesome and offered a refund or credit. The decor in the home is lovely and modern. There are two very functional bathrooms and the one shower has a lake view! Can't get much better than that. There is a neat fireplace in the primary room. There is a cute brewery with good food and a winery right down the road. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. It was the perfect peaceful winter retreat and I'd love to visit again in warmer weather!

Loved the place! The sunset view by the lake with a fire will remain in my heart. Russell was very kind with several sweet gifts. He is a great host!

Jody's place immediately gave us the comfort of home, with beautiful decorations and eccentric pieces. I've been in many empty-feeling, hotel-esqe Airbnbs, but it felt like Jody was inviting me over as a friend. The patio was lovely. Highly reccomend.

The house and setting were lovely and Kathy was a wonderful host - she was always responsive and gave helpful recommendations. The lake and outdoor setting were beautiful. The house was very clean, spacious, comfortable and well equipped. We enjoyed using the fire pit and looking at the stars. The kitchen had everything we could need. The layout of the first floor made it easy to make ourselves at home and relax - gather at the table, sit on the multiple couches to watch tv. Kathy responded immediately when we ran into an issue with the water and resolved the problem immediately. Please note the information about water usage in the "Other things to note" section of the property description, as this is accurate and something guests should be aware of.

We were 7 of us, mostly siblings, so with 6 bedrooms it was perfect. The rooms were simple yet clean and had all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. While the house is not right on the water is is a very short stroll down to the docks and we had a beautiful view of Keuka Lake from the front porch and windows. There is much to do in the area-hiking, fishing, wine tasting. Also we enjoyed kayaking on the lake which is very beautiful and clean. All the stores you may need for supplies are about a 5 minute drive away in Penn Yan. We did a lot of cooking at the house and found the kitchen to be well stocked. There is a fire pit encircled by Adirondack chairs and we enjoyed campfires 2 of the nights we were there. Brian lives 2 doors down, but we never saw him, so there is no worry of the landlord being intrusive. All in all we would definitely stay again!

Was perfect for our short getaway, cleaning fee could have been reduced since we were there only 1 night and very little cleaning was needed

We had the most wonderful weekend at the lake! This was perhaps the most accommodating home we have stayed in. Heidi and Emily are offering everything -- from the fireplace (already stocked with wood), to a canoe, to lawn games, a dedicated dog area outdoors, and an amazingly well-stocked library. This house truly has it all. It was the perfect location for our 9-member family vacation for grandparents, parents, kids, and 2 dogs. We loved every moment. The house has a great, sprawling layout that seems to go on forever! That means the 3 back bedrooms are quiet, and the door in between them and the living area is great for the early risers while the late sleepers snooze. There are so many nooks for hanging out and having side conversations while still feeling a part of the group, but also a few areas to go for some solitude. We really couldn't have asked for anything more than this home offers. And the views of the lake, both from the home and from the beach/dock, can't be beat!

As described- nice place on the water great for a nice quiet getaway. I would definitely go back. Amenities are super close by and the grill and fire pit are huge adds for an awesome weekend. Some parts of the house are starting to show age a bit and some simple upgrades like bathroom doorknobs could go a long way, but the place is definitely charming and quaint!

I highly recommend Shawn’s home- it was beautiful and peaceful stay! The entire place was neat and tidy, everything was easy to find. Our group had a great time watching the birds outside of the windows and watches for other animals outside. We would definitely rent this home again. Shawn is a great host!
