This is our second summer staying here and we’ve loved it. The location on the lake is peaceful and we love sitting in the dock in the shade of the trees. The rooms work well for our family of four and it’s easy. The kitchen and grill have all the tools you’ll need. We really enjoy it.
The cottage was very clean and well appointed- it had everything we needed for our stay and the view was outstanding. Lots of stairs so not for anyone with any mobility issues but we’d definitely stay here again.
This place was exactly what we were looking for, a quiet place to spend a few days with the family. We enjoyed kayaking, swimming and making s'mores. Great place for a family vacation!
The house was immaculate, and the property was gorgeous. Right on the lake, which was very quiet and beautiful. The owner was very responsive to outreach.
Beautiful spot on the lake and full of lake cottage charm inside. Has all the things you need to enjoy a rustic experience outside and feel cozy and as if it was your own home inside. Perfect for our family getaway and cant wait to go back!Good communication with host Wes made it all seamless
Perfect for a long weekend with family for a college graduation! Great communication with owner and clean accommodations. Beautiful location right on the lake ~ Highly recommend!
All the amenities of home and amazing views- access to beautiful Cayuga Lake. Our boys enjoyed fishing and kayaking. Adults enjoyed the fire pit right next to the water at night. We all LOVED IT!!!
We enjoyed our stay. The lake was beautiful and we took advantage of having campfires on the beach while listening to the waves and birds. The cottage is quaint like stepping back in time, which made it easy to leave the stress of every day life behind! We also appreciated Wes, helping us find the location. Use Apple Maps, not Waze! The cottage has everything you need to make meals and relax. We hiked every day at the many parks nearby. The location is close to everything!
Great secluded lakeside cabin close to many hikes and wineries
