Beautiful House right on the Lake!

This was a beautiful home right on the Water. The little pebble beach water access was a great touch. There is a Tram elevator to get down to the house which requires a few trips to get everything down, but it is very safe and new. The house was clean and well maintained. The dock was very useful as we rented a boat from Cayuga Boat rentals. If you do the same, take a boat trip across the lake to Aurora , it’s a beautiful little town and a short boat ride! The only downside (some would consider this positive) is there isn’t really anything around. No supermarkets or restaurants to speak of locally. Be sure to bring everything you need like groceries and drinks. I would definitely recommend this place!

Guests must bring appropriate boat bumpers. Maintenance Notice Emergency maintenance is available 24/7 for urgent concerns such as flooding, leaks, fire, or sewage backups.
