The lake house was in a great location with a beautiful setting. The view of the lake was awesome. To help travelers plan please note that 2 of the twin beds in the main house, were more like a wooden slat futon beds with a thin mattress pad. They were not twin beds as listed. We could not sleep in the beach house due to the musty/moth ball smell. A flashlight was needed to see down the deck steps as most outdoor lighting was not operational.

Thank you so much for your feedback. As I mentioned, the lighting is being worked on and should be operational shortly. We haven’t been notified of any smells in the beach house, but are happy to look into it. The futon beds are twin size with futon mattresses and are what is pictured in the description. Thank you so much for staying with us!

Wonderful place for a Finger Lakes getaway with a great beach that we and our dog loved and nearby hiking, wineries and restaurants. Debra was fantastic, checking in and making sure we had everything we needed. The main house was clean and well equipped with high-speed wifi for the couple of meetings I wasn't able to get out of. Highly recommended.

Thank you so much for staying with us! We can actually get that treated if we know about it. The water is regularly treated but sometimes needs a little extra love. Thank you for the feedback! Never hesitate to tell a host about things like that. 🙂

Lake Weekend

This house was absolutely incredible. The view of the lake from the house deck, boat dock, and private beach were breathtaking. There was plenty of space for all of our guests and the house was extremely clean upon arrival. We also loved the kayaks and paddleboards provided by the owner. This added an extra element of fun on the lake! I would highly recommend this property to anybody thinking of visiting Cayuga Lake, NY.

Wonderful!

This was our first time in the Finger Lakes. We were thrilled with this house, and it turned out to be all that we needed and then some. The location was beautiful, the view was amazing, and Debra Wallace was incredibly responsive. When we asked questions, she was back to us within an hour in rare cases, and within minutes in most cases. I can heartily recommend this property to anyone!

Family Vaction

This beautiful, private, lake property, with 3 buildings that added so much to the experience, was perfect for kids, adults and 2 dogs! Lots to do on the water , kayaking, swimming, ;lots of sea glass to find and great fishing off the boat house dock, The house has charm and comfort as well as everything we needed. We did bring a couple of extra fans and our own coffee machine, other than that the house was well stocked with bedding, towels, cute-kitchen with everything you would need. Also a washer and dryer was an added bonus . A great family friendly place where family memories were made! We will definitely return and highly recommend.

Hidden gem with a few caveats

The location was undeniably the best part of this rental. We spent a majority of our time outside on the private beach, which offered plenty of space for our extended family of 10 to spread out and enjoy kayaking, fishing and just relaxing by the lake together. It was a true slice of paradise, and with close proximity to the state parks and Ithaca there was plenty to do away from the house when we wanted to change things up. The house itself was well-maintained with a few updates in the bathrooms and kitchen and loaded with plenty of outdoor space to sit and play a game or enjoy the views of the lake with your morning coffee. The primary bedroom provided plenty of space. The guest bedrooms were a bit cramped and smaller than expected, providing little storage or space beyond a bed. Small box fans were present in each room which provided plenty of airflow during our time. However, The lack of air conditioning could pose a challenge during a warm spell as we learned on our last night. A mini split on the second floor is recommended. Water pressure was also a bit inconsistent in some of the bathrooms. The beach house was an excellent addition that offered additional space for our family though it was in need of a little maintenance. Overall, the experience was great. The host was highly responsive and incredibly receptive to our feedback. Would highly recommend and would absolutely stay again.

Thank you so much for staying with us and thank you for your kind words. We especially appreciate how clean you left the house. We are sorry that you were disappointed with the size of the bedrooms and the lack of air-conditioning. We hope that it’s clear from the listing that the rooms are small based on the pictures and that we don’t have air conditioning per our listing. We are working on an air conditioning solution, but there is not large enough external wall space for a split or and the house does not have ducts for central. We stay at the house with some frequency as it is our personal vacation home and we rarely find the lack of air-conditioning to be an issue, however, the past few summers have been warmer than average, and it is on our radar. The house is on a well system so does not have the water pressure that would come with municipal water. Thank you so much for staying with us!

Our family had a great few days on the lake. Most importantly, the beachfront and dock are perfect for everybody to get in and out of the water easily. And the lake was quiet and lovely. The big deck on the main level was great for hanging out and having meals all together. The 2nd little house was cute, but smelled so musty and like mothballs; it wasn't sleepable. So some of the family ended up sleeping on the big couch in the top of the boathouse, which is clean and bright and airy. It's too bad there's no bed there! The sinks could all use some maintenance, and the TV didn't work, but none of that was too important. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a detailed review and for staying with us! We’re thrilled that your family had a great time on the lake, enjoyed the private beachfront and dock, and made good use of the big deck for meals and hanging out together. That’s exactly what we love to hear. We’re sorry to hear about the musty smell in the beach house — we’ve addressed that since your stay, and I’m happy to confirm there are currently no odor issues at all. The sinks have also been fully maintained and are working well. Regarding the TV, thank you for speaking with me about it. As I mentioned on the phone, we’d been planning to replace the TV this week and it’s been replaced now and is connected. There is no bed in the boathouse because it is against local ordinances for guests to sleep there. We really appreciate your understanding and positive outlook overall. It was a pleasure hosting your family, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!

I did not realize how big this place was when I first booked it - but that’s a good thing! The boathouse and your own beachfront area was perfect, especially with the smaller houses use of a kitchen, we could have lunch downstairs and dinner in the main house. There was a brown out the week before so somehow our air stopped working, but we made it work and they were communicative about it. One small complaint is that there was only one small TV in the main room and we couldn’t really get it to work other than that. He had an awesome time for a bachelorette. I could definitely see a family or a handful of couples getaway.

Thank you so much for your feedback. Our guests typically spend most of their time outside and so we only have one TV. We will be replacing it but don’t have plans to set up more. We hope people will spend their time outside and with friends and family while they’re at the lake!

Great property with an amazing view of and access to the lake. The kitchen was well equipped and beautifully decorated. Lots of parking, enough for many cars. The bathrooms were all recently renovated and were very clean. Lots of extra blankets and towels. If you don’t like stairs, then I wouldn’t recommend but luckily everyone in our party was fine with stairs. It’s a little hard to find as GPS wasn’t perfect at directions to the place but we would highly recommend this place.

We have been staying here almost every summer for over 15 years! This is an incredible place to stay and accomodates large groups. We usually have 10-12 people each year and it works great. The views are incredible as well. One of our favorite things is having coffee every morning on the front porch. We can't wait for next year!

About the host

Hosted by Debra Wallace

Host profile image
Many years ago a young couple bought a thousand acres of land in Texas because God wasn't making any more land. They brought their children up going to the ranch in Bastrop, Texas where they explored the creek, tended the cows, rode horses and raised chickens.

As the children got older, one decided to keep her portion of the ranch but others had moved away. Their daughter, Marie, decided to trade her acreage in Texas for a slice of Cayuga Lake. It was her favorite place on earth and for over 20 years she poured her heart and soul into renovating the house to make it more comfortable for guests and she spent as much of her summers there as she could.

In 2020, Marie (known as Mia to her eight grandchildren) tragically lost her life to ovarian cancer and passed the lake house on to her daughter, Debra. Debra and her family continue the tradition of spending summers on the lake and sharing the magic of Mia's Lakehouse with many guests throughout the rental season.

Why they chose this property

It's difficult to find a more private beachfront while staying close to attractions such as downtown Ithaca, Cornell, Ithaca College, Taughannock Falls and the many state parks in the area. Explore everything there is to offer nearby or stay put for fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, or enjoying the view at Mia's Lakehouse.
