About this property

Sweeping Valley Sunsets \ 4BR, 3 Bath Retreat \ Mins to Cornell and IC

Welcome to Sky Horizon Retreat: Serene Valley Sunsets & Modern Comfort
Escape to our sun-drenched, open-concept home, perfectly positioned to capture beautiful western-facing sunsets. Looking out across the valley toward the opposite side of Cayuga Lake, you'll enjoy a stunning panorama of the rolling hills and vibrant evening skies. Whether you are in town for a Cornell graduation, visiting academics, or a Finger Lakes wine weekend, this family-friendly home delivers the perfect balance of serene nature and unbeatable convenience. Space to Gather (The Main Level)
Unlike cramped historic homes, our retreat was designed for connection! The show-stopping main living area features soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and a massive wall of windows flooding the space with natural light. Our fully stocked kitchen features an oversized island with bar seating for 4—perfect for gathering with morning coffee or prepping a meal. The open floor plan means your entire group of 8 can cook, dine, and relax together without feeling disconnected. (Bonus: We feature modern air conditioning to keep you cool during upstate summers!) 
The Outdoor Oasis & Western Sunsets
Step outside onto one of our two spacious decks. Generously furnished with ample seating and a porch swing, it is the ultimate spot to listen to the morning birdsong or toast to the evening. Facing west, the property overlooks the beautiful rolling hills on the opposite side of the Cayuga Lake valley, making it the perfect vantage point to watch spectacular sunsets paint the sky horizon.
Comfortable Sleeping & Getting Ready
We know how important privacy and bathroom access are for large groups. With 4 dedicated bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, your group can easily get ready for the day's events without morning bottlenecks!

Our stay was absolutely outstanding. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how beautiful, clean, and well-maintained the property was. The home was spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.The location was perfect; peaceful and private while still being conveniently close to Cornell’s campus and Ithaca’s attractions. We especially loved waking up to the beautiful surroundings and spending our evenings unwinding in such a serene setting.Every detail of the home made us feel welcome, and it was clear that the host takes great pride in providing an exceptional guest experience. Communication was easy, and everything exceeded our expectations. We created wonderful memories here and would gladly return for another stay.
