About this property

Clean, Stylish, Well Maintained, Lakefront, Amazing Views, Pet Friendly, College

Beautiful lake views, amazing location, modern, comfortable and peaceful. The perfect lake living while still minutes from town, Cornell and Ithaca College. Watch the sunrise over the lake on the deck. This is a three story home with 3 bedrooms, a bonus room, 2 full baths and and 1/2 bath. Our house has a modern floor plan and beautiful, high-end construction and details. Special features include a stoned faced fireplace, striking wide plank floors, and a modern kitchen with modern appliances. First-floor full bath and guest room. Upstairs you will be delighted with the master suite with more gorgeous lake views. The lower parking area is close to the front door compared to most other West Shore properties. Private lake frontage and dock. Kayaks, Canoe. Fast internet service with wifi, A/C, Washer Dryer, Roku TV, DVD player, gas fireplace, wine cooler.

Reasons to rent this house:

1) The single-family house is directly on Cayuga Lake with amazing views from the deck and dock, near wineries, and also only 5 minutes from downtown Ithaca restaurants and shopping, and less than 15 min. from the colleges.

2) In summer, you can drive close to the front door, no major staircase to the house (as is common on Cayuga Lake). However, you must be able-bodied and sure-footed. There is a path with a series of concrete steps (a total of 21). In winter, we have a new staircase from the road with 52 steps. The house is not appropriate for anyone with walking disabilities (sorry).

3) There are 2.5 bathrooms.

4) Two kayaks on the property, a canoe, private dock.

5) The house is big enough for two families to share. We have 3 bedrooms and a bonus room (with a sleeper sofa), plus a sleeper sofa with memory foam mattress in the living room.

6) Our house is equipped with a high chair, a pack-n-play, an infant bath, and myriad toys, books, and games.

7) We are powered by off-site solar power.

Who Can Rent:
The house is not appropriate for loud/late-night parties. Also, sorry, the house is not handicapped accessible.

All adult guests staying at the house must sign our license agreement and agree to our house rules.

With respect to all Ithaca lakehouses and to enjoy peace and quiet, our property is steep and away from the road. There is a long staircase to the house from the upper driveway with 52 steps. The path from the lower parking is relatively flat. All tenants and guests must be able to navigate the stairs with ease. Unfortunately, it is not handicapped accessible. We do not have a grass yard.

Winter: Our house is a real house that is winterized and you can set the thermostat to whatever is comfortable. We do not always plow or shovel the lower driver in winter. Winter tenants should plan to walk from the upper parking to the house.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

This place is even better than the photos — we woke up every morning to the most stunning views of Cayuga Lake right from the living room and master bedroom. The hosts were incredibly responsive and provided recommendations for restaurants and other activities for the area.

What a gorgeous home! Beautiful property with well-stocked kitchen and many thoughtful extras. Excellent location near town and the state park, but mostly we were happy staying home enjoying the view! Excellent communication and instructions from the host. We had two members of our party who found the steps down from the parking spot a tad challenging, but agreed it was worth it, and did not hinder our enjoyment in any way.

Great location for our stay. Close to Ithaca, wineries, waterfalls and other activities. House was clean and well equipped. Great park and dog park just down the street. Like others noted, the house does not have a yard for a dog to run-around but has space for the early morning or late night business break. Good fishing right off the dock - just realize there are stairs to get to the water (they are in great shape). Owner provided quick and friendly communication. Would stay again.

My mom and I had an amazing time in Ithaca! The house was beautiful. We used the kitchen, bbq, decks and game room. We had hoped to use the dock and toys. But the weather had other plans. Next time we are back we will hope for warmer weather! But the rain did not limit the view. Oh my the view! My daughter and a couple friends came by for dinner one night. It was the highlight for them and for us. They are in crew and their daily routine is to row out to this stretch of the lake. So fun for them to see it from a different perspective. And for mom and me to be able to be a part of it. I look forward to coming back! But hopefully for longer. A great spot for families!

Pretty close to perfect

Stayed for 3 nights with friends. Beautiful house with a great view of and access to the lake. The master bedroom was spacious and comfortable for sleep. We made use of the grill and the various outside seating.The only downside was the early morning rowing team practice that was easily heard with the way sound travels across water.

About the host

Hosted by Carolyn Greenwald

Host profile image
We are an Ithaca family of five. We lived on Cayuga Lake at our other listing, 889 Taughannock until our youngest was born. That property has been a vacation rental since 2001. We purchased this house because it is absolutely magnificent.

We work hard every week to maintain our properties. We replace fixtures and appliances often. Our cleaners do a great job.

Why they chose this property

This house is only one mile past the Hanger Theater so it is very close to downtown Ithaca but it is a world apart. We are near Cornell University and Ithaca College (3 miles). We are near the Finger Lakes Wine Trail. We are near Taughannock Park and wonderful hiking trails. However, the road is not appropriate for dog walking so you will want to drive to the dog park at Cass Park.

What makes this property unique

Our new two story deck is a stunner. You can relax just outside the living room with easy outdoor dining. We have two kayaks and canoes on the property including life vests in many sizes. You can park your boat at the dock. Inside we have gorgegous wood floors and stone work.
