Beautiful Home On The Lake Great For Families & Walking Distance to Winery

Wake up to a wonderful lake view in the morning as your family eats breakfast in the dining room or on the multi-level deck. Spend the afternoon hanging out at the water with 200 ft of private beach. Enjoy local wines at Buttonwood Winery within walking distance. Then at night treat yourself to live music at the Boathouse Beer Garden half a mile away or escape into zen with a lakefront fire. With 5 bedrooms, 8 beds, and 2 baths, this house is great for families, friends, wedding parties, bachelorette parties, and more!

Great location and a beautiful home!
We had a wonderful stay at Doug and Nica’s beautiful home. The location is ideal with close access to many of our favorite spots in the Finger Lakes region and beautiful views of Lake Cayuga. The amenities were so helpful especially the well stocked kitchen and the canoe. We hope to visit again!

Great lakeside property
The house was perfect for our multi generational family of nine. The location on the lake was perfect; we rented a boat and the kids fished off the dock. The kitchen has all the dishes, silverware, and cooking utensils you could possibly need. We ate a lot of meals in due to the size of our party. We would definitely recommend this property for anyone looking to stay in the Finger Lakes.

very clean, lots of space, the dock and lake are wonderful. 3 generations of family were able to enjoy each other, the lake, and wine country. The Cayuga Lake Creamery was a favorite with the kids as was jumping off the end of the dock!!!

This is a wonderful location on the lake with a home that provides plenty of space both inside and out! Our family if ten found multiple ways to play games, enjoy water sports and campfires. I highly recommend this location. Many thanks to Doug and Veronica!

Fabulous VRBO on lake Cayuga
Our family with adults and 2 preschoolers had a really lovely time at this VRBO. Doug was very responsive to our concerns about enough seating inside for meals since the pictures showed 4 chairs at the dining room table. We were able to fit 11 chairs to the table. The house was very clean and a beautifully remodeled kitchen fully equipped with what we needed and we ate most of our meals at the house. The owner was also quick to respond when we locked ourselves out of the house. We loved the dock for fishing and the kayak, canoe, and row boat added great enjoyment for our group. It’s definitely a very comfortable home! We would definitely return if coming to the area again!

Best family house on Cayuga Lake
Simply said, we LOVE this house. Our extended family meets in Romulus for one week in July. We rent several houses in the area and White Haven is the best. It is spacious, immaculately clean, well equipped with everything you could possibly want and need. Our family group of two young teens, four younger adults and a couple of seniors all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Coffee on the dock in the morning. Wine on the back deck in the evening. Bonfires, s’mores, corn hole, barbecues, morning swims and so much more. My only advice is if you want to rent this house book early. But keep in mind, bring bug spray. If you hate bugs, a lake house isn’t for you. Thanks for an another amazing week. We’ll be back!

Family vacation BEST location
We had an absolutely wonderful time at your house. The bedrooms worked out perfectly, as did the big dining room table for meals and especially games. We ate several meals out at the picnic table and loved using the grill. The decks were so nice for lounging, reading and catching up with each other. Had lots of fun at the waterfront area, especially the kids with marco polo etc. We were able to put our kayak in at deans landing and paddle over to uour dock for the week. We used each one of your boats at some time or another. So beautiful. Had smores around the fire on our last night together. LOVED the kitchen! It was very easy to work together to make some pretty good meals. Loved our wine tasting at Buttonwood winery. Your place is the perfect location to see Taughannock state park, Buttermilk falls and even a college visit to Rochester. Our only complaint was that the Canada wildfire smoke made for several murky days where you couldn't see the other side of the lake. It was like a moonscape. Certainly not your fault. Even Watkins Glen and Senaca was fogged in. Made for some mysterious views... pretty hard to predict that kind of situation! Your house was just perfect for our family. Thank you so much for sharing it through VRBO.

Great place for family gathering
Booked this Lake home for nine of us to celebrate a milestone birthday. There was plenty of space for sleeping and socializing. The deck was beautiful and the waterfront was so fun despite the stairs going back up! We loved using the fire pit table at night. Beds were comfortable and kitchen well stocked. I thought it was a great central location for wineries and breweries. We had such a beautiful weekend with great weather. Thank you.

2nd time staying at this location and it did not disappoint. Great communication with owner smoothed the way for checkin and checkout. Spectacular views of lake Cayuga and wonderful outdoor living. The house is perfect for our extended family of 8 that includes two teens. Workable kitchen and bonus room. We’ve already booked for next year!

Just, wow!
This is a great property! Excellent views, the ability to sit on the dock, or sit under the shade of a tree while sitting by the water. The deck is impressive with a view of the water. The house is well stocked with every kitchen utensil we needed. We had 6 adults, ranging in age from 37 to 71 and 2 children, 11 and 13. We always had something to do - sit by the water, canoeing, kayaking, hiking and biking. Several eagle and osprey sightings added to the good times. There were also plenty of board and card games available. We even got the teens to put their screen down for several bonfires with s’mores. We’ve stayed at VRBO locations from Michigan to Vermont, and this was, by far, the best stay for the entire extended family.

Simply the best
Just can’t say enough good things about this wonderful house! Our multigenerational family group of 7 with ages ranging from 11-70, were there got a week, Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. What’s not to like??? The gorgeous lake views from the two level decks, the beach and dock with boats, floats, chairs, and fishing poles. Even an old willow tree that provided shade. We cooked in the renovated kitchen which has everything you could ever want for preparing farm to table meals. We grilled outside and had s’mores by the outdoor wood fire pit. We also played board games by the gas fire pit on the deck. This house has comfortable beds, excellent air conditioning and a great TV for movies after dark. The kids especially loved the fireflies and bunnies that come out at night. The older kids loved the Buttonwood Winery right across the street (Wine slushies!) and the beer garden right down the road. We loved our stay so much we already booked two weeks next summer, thanks so much!!!

An amazing stay on the Cayuga lake
The property is very well equipped and clean. Location is perfect, a very nice winery is located just across the road and can be reached by foot. But the best part was the outside sitting area with a beautiful deck and an amazing view + a private little beach with a fire pit. We loved it!

Perfect Weekend Getaway
Willow Haven was too good to be true!! It was one of THE BEST properties we have stayed at in a long time! It was super clean, well stocked with linens, kitchen basics, games, etc. The view is absolutely SPECTACULAR! There is plenty of space for a large group! It’s also in a perfect location- plenty of wineries and hiking trails close by! We did not want to go home! Thank you for an incredible weekend Doug and Nica!! Everyone wants to return one day!!

Wine and Waterfall Weekend 2021
Willow Haven is beautiful home on a gorgeous property. The house is both cozy and spacious and spotlessly clean. The bedrooms and comfortable beds were perfect for our group of seven adults. We had some rain so we did not get to take full advantage of the deck seating and views. We enjoyed beautiful sunrises on the lake and a lovely sunset as well. Couldn't get enough of the lake views and enjoying the waterfront.. The location is great with easy access to hiking restaurants and wineries. The new well equipped kitchen is a nice bonus as well. We are all looking forward to a return visit.

This pictures of the property do not capture the beauty of this location.. The house is wonderfully situated at the top of the hill with a long picturesque staircase leading to the waterfront and private dock. A private peaceful setting to enjoy the Beaty of the lake. The house is very well appointed and very clean. The kitchen is new and equipped with everything you could possibly need and more. Every detail was covered by our hosts in their thoughtful preparation. The house is ready for rainy days in or quiet nights by one of the many fire pits. Simply a great experience..

Amazing lake house for family
Property was even better than the pictures. Kitchen is stocked with any and all utensils you might need. The house is close to so many fun attractions, and was neat and clean upon arrival. The owner is extremely responsive and accommodating and we’re bummed that the place is already booked for this week next year!! I would absolutely recommend. Another review mentioned bringing water shoes for the beach and it was a great tip.
