About the host

Hosted by Kimberlee Smith

Host profile image
Our stories are all perfectly imperfect, just like our dreamy little lakefront. It was a lifelong dream to relax on the shores of Cayuga Lake, and we finally found THE one.

Our little family owns a fitness center in a rural town in Upstate New York 30 minutes from our cozy cottage. We maintain day jobs with Cornell University and Downtown Ithaca, as well as serving and supporting our local community. My husband coaches and is the strength and conditioning coach across several high school teams, as well as providing 1:1 and small group trainings custom-fit to specific sports needs at the school and our gym.

We have a 14-year old son heavily involved in training and sports of his own, so we often travel weekends and have enjoyed appreciating other families' short-term rentals.
We just took on the cottage late fall, so are continuously taking time for improvements, but the cozy cottage snuggles in between rustic and modern leisure.

That said, we don't quite YET have the time to slow down and enjoy. BE OUR GUEST!

Why they chose this property

Our little community is private enough to appreciate, but robust in character and friendly neighbors. You'll hear the occasional golf cart whizz by (under 5mph) and a several active walkers getting in their steps.

The neighbors on either side of the cozy cottage own frontage and docks, but do not have established homes. We ask that you respect their land, docks and parking. The cozy cottage has plenty of our own!

What makes this property unique

The patio
overhangs Cayuga Lake like no other. Lying in any bed or stretched out on the patio, you can hear the waves as if you're floating in the middle on a raft
The local amenities
thriving farmland, quaint golf courses, rolling hills, successful specialty wine, beer and fare
The neighborhood
will never bother you, but always be there on a whim
NEVER A BAD SUNSET--even storms are amazing
