Luxury LakeHouse Paddleboat/board/Kayak/Privt Dock
The house is beautifully renovated and very high tech!!! The kitchen is a dream. Loved the furniture and fire pit on the deck. Convenient to Ithaca and many restaurants/ hikes. Master bed very comfortable. Love that each bedroom has its own bathroom. We all took turns with the massage chair every night - it was a big hit! Lorena was very kind and responsive. Would definitely stay again!

Cayuga lake cottage with private lake access
We enjoyed our stay in this very peaceful lakeside setting. There is an attached deck to the house, a lower level patio with table and firepit, and stairs to lake level, to accomodate all physical abilities in having an enjoyable time here. The home is well stocked and very comfortable. The road is nice for taking walks. Thank-you Michelle!

Cayuga Lakeside Cottage
We loved this house! Exactly as described. Very clean, well maintained, cute decor with personal touches, but it’s the views that are incredible, beautiful, and peaceful. The location is stunning, and the amazing Taughannock Falls are less than a mile down the road. Andy was responsive, friendly and welcoming. We were in town for college graduation (IC or Cornell are about a 20 minute drive), with parents and grandparents. Was a great spot for all of us. When I asked if there was an iron (had to get those graduation clothes ready!), Andy made sure one was in the house for us when we got there. One thing to know - the beach and the dock are down a steep set of stairs. Andy offered use of his tram if we needed help getting down there, so that’s a nice option. There is a nice grassy area and dock by the water. I highly recommend this place!

Relaxing Lakeside Getaway on Cayuga lake!
We came back to stay at Dave’s house for our son’s graduation weekend at Cornell and we are so happy we did it. We were able to host friends and family over a busy weekend where restaurants for large groups of people are out of reach. The house was extremely well equipped for hosting dinner for a large party. We loved the sun room. Our favorite place for breakfast and afternoon gatherings. While the weather didn’t help, we were able to use the fire pit and spend some time outside one of the nights. We hope we can be back again soon!

Scenic 3B/2BA Lakehome Near Cornell, Town and More
First time in Ithica, and this was a great place to stay near downtown. We specifically wanted to be on the water, and this place delivered. Very cozy and comfortable house for our family. Looking to come back in the summer and bring our boat and take full advantage of the dock/lake.

FL I - Cayuga Lake front home, 5 miles to Ithaca
Mario was very helpful and friendly! He brought us wine and champagne for my graduating daughter. The house was comfortable and cozy. Everyone slept well. The views are spectacular. The setting is paradise.

Grandpa's Cottage on Cayuga
This is a great location for a weekend spent visiting Ithaca, Cornell, enjoying the Apple Festival, and seeing all the gorges and the waterfalls. The leaves are turning and the fall colors are spectacular. We even went swimming in the chilly lake!

Quaint Lake Home w/ Stunning Views & Private Decks
We stayed at Dominic's Interlaken house on the lake for 3 nights, 4 days,, but unfortunately, it rained the whole time. (Not Dominic's fault. The scenery was breathtaking, the house was clean, but small. It had everything we needed and we really had a wonderful time. I would go there again. Thank you, KH

Ithaca Boat House - Cayuga Lake Rental-Upper unit
Three of us stayed at Peggy’s place for a weekend and my only regret is not booking for longer! The location is a dream—right on the lake and only a few minutes drive from the farmer’s market and other must-see places in Ithaca. I hope to come back!

Stylish Hotel Style Suite in Geneva's Uptown Row
My college roommate and I stayed in this AirBnB for our reunion, and were happy with our choice. Great location, sweet little unit, the owners anticipated the needs of their renters very well in terms of what was provided in the kitchen (whole bean coffee + grinder!) and unit. We were two adult female travelers, so used both the bed and the convertible couch - I thought the bed was the most comfortable I've slept on in *any* AirBnb and I've probably stayed in over 3 dozen, so that's saying a lot! My roommate said the couch was "fine" comfort-wise. The A/C unit works great and was adequate to the task. The location is awesome - just down from a coffeeshop (Monaco's), and right near downtown so a quick walk home after a final night out with college classmates. The floors in the kitchen and on the stairwell outside the apartment were pretty squeaky, but it's an old building so that's to be expected. I appreciated the extra linens and the ironing board. I loved the paint color and decor!

Cottage at Cast Away • Kayaks Fire Pit & Game Room
We had a great stay in Geneva, right on the water. We stayed in the cottage property and luckily for most of our stay, there was no other guests in the main house. With that, we felt more comfortable using the shared deck and game room. The cottage was perfect for our stay, very local to downtown Geneva easy to get to other wineries, breweries, hikes along Seneca Lake. Although it rained most of our trip, so we didn't get to use the kayaks, but we were able to enjoy a night outside with the firepit by the water (make sure to bring your own wood / lighter to get this started!) The game room was also super fun and a nice feature! Overall, we had a great stay and no complaints! Would recommend for a couple looking for a nice stay on the water.

Private Floor on Cayuga Lake Shore
Lovely and spacious with a knock out view of the lake from the main bedroom.

Perfect for 2 Winetrail Getaway, Winedown Bungalow
We loved the wine down bungalow! It was in a perfect spot and extremely cozy and peaceful. It was very clean and comfortable! The view of the lake was very nice and the shared dock was perfect for a glass of wine and the sunset. I recommend this to anyone wanting a nice getaway!

Cozy Cottage with 45' Lake Frontage and Kayaks
Mary was an incredibly gracious and accommodating host. She has a lovely cottage amidst a very private section of the lake and we felt we had all we needed to enjoy our peaceful retreat.

The Megan House-Cayuga Lake East Shore - Level Lot
Highly recommend. The house was clean, exactly as described, comfortable for family of 5. Amazing lake view from house and only few steps to lake. Perfect place for sunset view over the lake.

Lakeside Cottage
This lakefront cottage was in a beautiful location and directly on the water, so you could go to sleep and wake up to the peaceful sounds of the lake. Every bit of space was used efficiently, resulting in the place feeling roomier than you may think at first glance. It was even pet-friendly with our dog finding a nice spot right by the door where he could watch all the happenings on the lake no matter what the weather! Thanks for a great weekend stay!

cottage home: wine trail, sunset view, lake view.
We had an amazing stay! The property was clean, cozy and well appointed. We loved having our own private space to enjoy looking out at the lake on both the deck of the house and down by the water itself. So, wonderfully relaxing. We decided to make dinner ourselves one night to better enjoy our time at the house and it’s beautiful surroundings. The kitchen was well appointed and we had everything we needed including a grill in the yard. The home owner was very accessible and helpful when we had a few minor questions. The property itself was situated close enough to the town of Geneva for restaurants and the grocery store but also close to some unique wineries and breweries right nearby. (Side note: War Horse Brewery - Well worth checking out!) I would highly recommend staying at this property. We had a fantastic time. You won’t be disappointed!

Lakefront Getaway - Relax & recharge on Song Lake!
If there was a sixth star I would check it. The cabin was exactly as expected. I am looking forward to staying there again.

Lakeside Cottage
Our stay at Kate’s was perfect for my graduation weekend. The house had everything we needed, and the views were absolutely stunning. Kate was super responsive and really accommodating, which made everything easy. I’d definitely love to come back when the weather’s nicer and try out the kayaks and paddleboards. Highly recommend!

Experience Minka Life: Simple is good.
Amazing stay! Jude and her dogs and her husband are truly amazing people! We had a wonderful stay and would come back in a heartbeat!!! We spent our honeymoon here and it was magical- best place to honeymoon! Jude was the most amazing host!

Heron Cottage on Cayuga Lake
Great little cottage! Very peaceful surroundings and easy walk to the lake/state park. Easy drive to several good wineries and restaurants, as well. Would definitely stay again.
