About this property

Elegant, Historical Lake House with Breath-Taking View

The view of Cayuga Lake, from Lower Lake Lodge is unbelievable! The one of-a-kind view is not the only attraction however. The welcoming, charming and comfortable lake home built in 1848, offers many areas for relaxation, large and spacious living quarters and a beach front that's hard to match.

To the left of the foyer is a large living room with hardwood flooring, fireplace, and large screen smart TV. A beautiful screened-in porch with mahogany flooring can be entered through French doors off the living room and kitchen. Spend time reading, entertaining, or just enjoying the magnificent lake view. On the other side of the foyer is a half bath and laundry room with washer, dryer and utility sink. Just around the corner is the large spacious kitchen which includes dishwasher, microwave side-by-side refrigerator/freezer, wall oven, gas counter top stove, and a large window for the splendid view of Cayuga Lake.

Once on the second floor on the left is a full size bathroom with tub/shower unit. Bedroom one has two queens and one twin bed, along with a futon and TV. Also a very large walk in closet is available. A full size bath with stand up shower and separate jacuzzi bath tub completes this master room.

The second bedroom, has a queen bed, two dressers, a walk-in-closet with built-in drawers and private balcony with patio set. This room also has a TV. The third bedroom has a twin bed, a queen bed, a TV and a closet. The fourth bedroom has one double bed with walls of shelving and a small closet.

Enjoy a game of volleyball in the large side yard or walk down to the beach and enjoy the level yard along the lake shore. Lower Lake Lodge is located on the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail and is close to the NYS Thruway, Seneca Falls, Ithaca, Aurora, and the Waterloo Premium Outlets.

We rent weekly during the busy summer season, Saturday to Saturday. Long weekends and shorter stays are available outside of the summer rental season.

My family of 12 had a wonderful week spent at this beautiful home. The house was clean and stocked with everything you could need. The enclosed porch was relaxing and the view was spectacular. My husband and boys enjoyed fishing all week. Would definitely recommend and would go back. Thank you Amy and David.

Wonderful view and location

Great stay with easy access to the water. The house was gorgeous with beautiful views. Lots of space to relax. Big lawn space both up top and by the lake, and kayaks and boats to use on the water. Thanks for a great stay!

Beautiful view. House needs some work, couple beds were broken, not very clean, bedding pretty dirty like it had been sitting for a couple weeks and there was mold in the bathrooms. Boat lift did not work. Garbage was from past couple occupants and smelled pretty bad, the fact that we had to take out other people’s garbage was a little odd. Owners were quick to respond to any texts. Property just needs some love. Overall we had a great stay.

Great time with family.

We pulled up during a day-long windstorm, and at first glance, my wife wondered if it would be OK. After walking through and unloading the cars, we all loved it! Great porch!! Big kitchen, big rooms. Lots of towels lol. The next day was beautiful and we had lots of fun visiting wine country. Had a campfire under a full moon. Wonderful stay and everything we needed to enjoy the weekend was there for us. The hosts were very accommodating.

Family vacation

We had a wonderful time. The location was great, easy to get to and close to so many things - conveniences as well as interesting places. The property was very nice and comfortable, the screen porch was our favorite spot! We would have liked some cleats on at least one of the two docks to secure our boat and a dock that would accommodate a jet ski, but we made it work. The size of the property nicely accommodated our family. But, it should be noted that there are lots of steps to get to the water - but, it helped to work off some of the extra calories we were consuming! I would definitely recommend this lovely cottage.

Family yearly vacation

We have a good size family and need a place that will sleep up to 16 and this home was perfect! We loved the location and the view was amazing! The lake was warmer than we anticipated and we were thrilled that we could just float around and not be chilled. We loved everything about this house with the exception of the stairs down to the beach, we knew there were stairs but my old legs were yelling at me by the end of the week, haha. We will most definitely be considering a return next year! Plus being pet friendly was absolutely a super advantage for us and the dogs learned to swim while we were there! Thank You

Beautiful Location, but can't recommend for dog owners

Our group consisted of myself, friends, and my mother (93 years old), and my 2 Golden Retrievers. Most of our experience was super positive at this location. I'll also share some observations, and one GIANT NEGATIVE if you are a dog owner. Let's start with the view. OMG the view is stunning. We saw perfect sun and moon rises. On our last morning we were truly blessed to witness 2 Bald Eagles flying right before our eyes. Sitting on the porch at night musing over our days adventures was also a positive. This location is perfect for easy access to so many wineries, Observations, the knives in the butcher block are due to either be replaced or at least sharpened. I'd suggest putting the coffee filters in a more obvious space near the coffee pot. We used napkins the first morning before I finally found the filters on the very top pantry shelf in a solid basket. Windows in some bedrooms either don't open, or are a struggle. Keep in mind if you have children, to me it's a fire hazard. Lastly and most important to dogs. There are black walnut trees on this property which are TOXIC to dogs. My dogs had a great time swimming, but I immediately had to bring them in when they were done to avoid any risk. Overall, I would recommend staying here and we had a great time, but I couldn't do a repeat visit if I had my dogs with me. The risk is too great.

Wonderful Weekend

We had a lovely stay at this place. There was plenty of room for us to have our own rooms, and we couldn’t have asked for a more welcoming and homey spot. The view over the lake is spectacular. The host responded quickly when I contacted her. We would definitely consider staying here again.

Great accomodations

My friends and I having been taking a yearly trip together and this year was the tenth anniversary so we wanted everything to be special. The house was amazing! The rooms were perfect for the six of us and the kitchen and screened porch were great. We loved sitting outside by the lake and it was close to all the places we wanted to visit

The location and amount of lake frontage is why we chose this property & we were not disappointed! PROS: house is huge, plenty of towels & supplies, very long lake frontage, 2 docks, incredible huge screened in porch overlooking lake, fenced in yard - perfect for our dog! CONS: not quite as clean as I would have liked & the air conditioning was fine on the 1st floor, but the upstairs was warm.

Great location lots of amenities

Overall the property was great. The interior was beautiful and clean for the most part. There were plenty of supplies available and met all our needs easily for a family of six with an infant and two dogs. The large fenced in yard was perfect for the dogs. Even with a very pregnant daughter-in-law the stairs to the waterfront worked well and we enjoyed using the rowboat and kayaks. Also, there were plenty of chairs there for us to sit around the fire pit in the evening. The amazing view was the best part of our stay! Able to witness a couple gorgeous sunrises and moonrises over the lake. On the down side, the outside of the house appeared to lack any upkeep. The windows were dirty outside and the windowsills inside were also filthy. We were disappointed with the poor condition of the screened in porch, although the owner was very responsive when informed of the ripped screen doors. Did not seem like the porch had a good cleaning in a long time. We would have like to have spent more time on the porch had it been.
