About this property
The Look Out: "Relaxing Finger Lakes Retreat Close to Ithaca!"
Just north of Ithaca's stunning gorges, you'll discover The Look Out, a spacious five-bedroom Finger Lakes vacation rental with 150 feet of natural Cayuga Lake frontage. Whether you're visiting for graduation weekend at Cornell University or Ithaca College, planning a wine tour through the renowned Cayuga Lake vineyards, or simply craving a relaxing lakeside escape, this vacation home is your perfect retreat.
Step inside and feel right at home with a fully equipped kitchen featuring ample counter space and plenty of cookware to make meal prep effortless. The kitchen opens to a bright dining room with hardwood floors and beautiful distant lake views — ideal for gathering the whole family or group for memorable meals.
The Look Out is designed with entertaining in mind. The living room's large sectional sofa faces a picture window framing tranquil lake views, and it flows seamlessly into the cozy den with a decorative fireplace — the perfect spot to unwind with a good book or enjoy conversations over a glass of Finger Lakes wine.
With five comfortable bedrooms spread across the home, everyone will find their own private haven. From upstairs suites to cozy lower-level rooms, the thoughtful décor and inviting atmosphere make it easy to relax and recharge.
For some fun indoors, the fully converted lower-level game room is a favorite among guests. Challenge your friends and family to a game of pool or foosball while sipping on your new favorite local brew.
Step outside onto the lakeside porch off the main living space, where you can savor your morning coffee while soaking in the peaceful lake views. The spacious yard beyond offers plenty of room for outdoor activities or simply enjoying the beautiful grounds.
When it's time to hit the water, a gravel path leads you to the pebble entry point at the lakefront, perfect for swimmers of all ages to enjoy the refreshing waters of Cayuga Lake. Relax and soak up the sun on the expansive deck or take in the serene natural surroundings.
Located within a mile of popular Sheldrake Winery and O'Malley's Cabin on the Lake, you're perfectly positioned to explore the best of the Finger Lakes region. Spend your days sampling award-winning wines at nearby vineyards like Shepherdess Cellars, Cayuga Ridge Estate, and Goose Watch Winery. Take a scenic day trip around the lake to visit Wells College, browse unique finds at MacKenzie Childs, or venture south to Taughannock Falls — one of the region's most breathtaking natural wonders.
If you're craving city vibes, Ithaca is just a short drive away. Hike Buttermilk Falls, tour Cornell University or Ithaca College, and enjoy lakeside dining at popular spots like the Boat Yard in downtown Ithaca.
This lakefront vacation home combines the perfect balance of comfort, space, and location for your next Finger Lakes getaway. Book The Look Out today and start making lasting memories on Cayuga Lake!
