Perfect little getaway
My husband and I had the best time. The house was gorgeous. The view from the living room, kitchen, and master bedroom was magnificent. Although the weather didn’t permit us to use the lake, we loved that it was available to use if needed. It’s super quiet and off the beaten path. The house has some very cool gadgets like a panting AC and gas fireplaces. We would definitely go back.

Dream Stay
Overall 5+ stars! Only one very tiny issue and that was we arrived late in the evening and unfortunately the solar lights didn’t come on so we used our cellphone lights to see the digital lock box. That was extremely minor and that’s the most we could possibly have complained about! Everything about the house was awesome, we were so sad to leave. The amenities are top-notch, the house was spotless, the scenery is fantastic, and the “neighborhood” was quiet. Kitchen is amazingly well-equipped, the main bedroom is stellar, the living room is oh so comfortable and the views over the lake (Cayuga) were just perfect. I probably shouldn’t gush too much as we plan to return and we don’t want it to get too busy! 5+/5 stars

We've stayed here twice and it's the absolute best place in the whole area. I've stayed at a half dozen other properties all over the Finger Lakes region, but this one takes the cake. Gorgeous house, every amenity you could want, and the best sunset view available. A few minutes drive takes you into Ithaca for restaurants, bakeries, grocery stores, and the Ithaca Farmers' Market. Can't overstate what a great place this is to stay.

Perfect Cayuga Lake Getaway
Jennifer’s Cayuga Lake property was perfect for our anniversary getaway. She was also a great host, providing detailed description of the property & amenities as well as timely communication. The house was very comfortable and well-stocked. We used all the outdoor spaces: the cozy fire pit area, the large deck for dinner, the covered porch for breakfast, the master bedroom balcony for happy hour relaxation and the lake dock for viewing lovely sunsets over Cayuga Lake. We also used the paddle board & kayaks (stored in a locked shed at the lakefront) that are free to use with the rental. The location is great because it is a quiet area outside of a small town but so close to Ithaca with all the city’s amenities. We loved this place in the Finger Lakes!

Great stay
The house was very pretty and clean. Everything you need I.e. garbage bags, plates cups cleaners were available. Comfortable beds. Only negative thing is I wish the grass was cut but this may have been because it was off season But would not be discouraged by this. Definitely would stay here again

Very cozy lake house
Our family had a wonderful time in this lake house. It has everything: breathtaking views, exceptional cleanliness, comfortable beds, a fully equipped kitchen, and many local attractions. We visited the Ithaca market, hiked the Cornell waterfalls, and enjoyed the barbeque with the sunsets at the lake.

Beautiful views
We had a wonderful stay this past weekend! The best part about the property are the views and how the home has many different opportunities to enjoy these views (from the outdoor back porch, fire pit, kitchen table windows, living room windows with recliners, and the master bedroom with a full wall of windows). We spent time listening to the waves and enjoying the peace and quiet (we went for an anniversary weekend and left our young kids with my parents). The master bedroom is phenomenal. It is spacious. The bed is large and comfortable. We enjoyed taking a bubble bath in the jacquizzi in the bedroom. There are several fire places and two large flat screen tvs. The property was well stocked. The kitchen was new and had anything you could possibly need to cook a meal, including (this impressed me) one of those faucets that comes from the top of the stove if you need to fill a pot with water. The manual left by the owners was very helpful. We drove around Ithaca and went out to dinner and a brewery nearby. Wish we could have used the fire pit, but it rained both nights. But we still had such a nice time and I would highly reccomend this place! We will be back!

Beautiful Lake House
The house was better than described. Beautiful wood flooring, staircase. Excellent bathrooms and nice TVs. Big picture windows, especially the master bedroom. Enjoyed the fully stocked kitchen. My only concern was the gravel road was very gutted and fortunately, I have a subaru SUV, so no problem. It may not always be in this condition. We had a fabulous time and the house on the lake gave us the spectacular views of lake cayuga and a nice location to go to Ithaca and other locations.

You'll love it
We had a great time. The beauty of Cayuga Lake and the outlook over the lake from the house were part of it. But, it is also near Ithaca and Cornell and we took good advantage of what they had to offer. Adding to this was the excellent condition of the house and the abundance of supplies, for example, kayaks, life jackets, paddle board, towels, spices, dishes, cutlery, and kitchen utensils. (I like to cook yet still did not know what some of them were for.) Add to this the grill, fire pit, outdoor chairs and tables, and the responsiveness of Jennifer to requests and queries and you cannot go wrong. (Note though: Access to the lake shore was either a walk down and up about 4-5 flights of stairs or a five or so minute drive.)

The house and lake view are exactly as described - beautiful. The property and walkway to the lake and dock are not accurately portrayed. The steps shown are a partial view, which does not include a steep metal stairway in need of repair, walk across railroad tracks, and loose planks on the dock.
