Everything was great. We went there to be on the lake and enjoy time before our daughter‘s wedding in Trumansburg. It was a perfect place to chill out for two days before the fun of the wedding began. Late Cayuga is beautiful and clean. The property had all the right tools to enjoy the water.

A lovely, comfortable house in a great location. It would be helpful to have a mat in the downstairs tub, as it was a bit slippery for us old codgers. It is annoying how difficult VRBO makes it difficult to communicate directly with the host, though we managed to get around that eventually.

We had a fabulous weekend here for graduation. The kitchen is well stocked, the linens are well stocked, the access to the lake is priceless. We enjoyed meals on the back deck and the bonfire by the water. The proximity to downtown Ithaca and the college was perfect. I had no real issues with this home but it was very easy to reach the host :)

Lovely July 4th weekend

Visited for a family wedding and thought we would hike and enjoy downtown Ithica, but the house, dock and lake were so fun and easy we spent most of our leisure time there. The host was very accessible and helpful and the accommodations were perfect for our family

Great stay in beautiful location

Overall has a great time in this beautifully located house, quick access to a lakefront area with dock and fire pit was amazing. The house was very nice, maybe a bit cramped with 10 of us. But close to so many of the wonderful Finger Lakes attractions, as well as all that Ithaca has to offer.

Stunning lakefront property that’s just a quick drive to Ithaca! The house was exactly as pictured and had everything we needed. Super clean upon arrival too. Marjory was friendly and easy to communicate with when I had a question. Definitely would stay here again next time I find myself in the area.

A beautiful stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Ithaca, right on Cayuga Lake. With easy access to town but also to the many waterfalls, hikes, wineries and cideries, this property has it all. Our kids loved having private access to the lake, using the dock for fishing and swimming every day of our stay. The owners are very easy to communicate with, accommodating and are local if anything is pressing.

The experience was great. The house is perfectly situated with fantastic views, and lake access. We really enjoyed swimming off the dock. The house is updated and very nice and super comfortable. It is conveniently located as we were visiting Cornell for the weekend! We loved it and we plan to stay there again in the future! It is very special house!

Fantastic all around!

It was a great few days! The house is lovely, well maintained, well stocked, clean and in a great location. We particularly enjoyed the deck, yard and dock. There was something for everyone. The cherry on top was the host, Marjory’s, communication and insight. She was lovely and very helpful. We were sorry to leave so soon. This was truly one of the better vrbo properties we have stayed in. Thank you!

Absolutely Beautiful Lakefront Property!

We had the most wonderful time staying here! The house was immaculate, organized, spacious and had every amenity we could have wanted. Beds were extremely comfortable. The view from the deck is stunning. The dock and beach area were spacious and perfect for enjoying the water. We spent most of our weekend at the house but it is only a 10 minute drive downtown to enjoy some of Ithaca. Marjory was great to work with, so kind, and communicated quickly. Look no further, I highly recommend staying here!
