Luxury on the Lake

The house is superb, beautifully furnished and perfectly up-fitted with everything a guest could want/need. The architecture is fabulous and finishes, fixtures and appliances are high end, resulting in luxe comfort in every room. Outdoor porches, patios and the hot tub are an extra bonus....and views of the lake and access to the dock is easy. Great for a group of friends, family or a couple. We loved our stay!

Beautiful House on the Lake

We very much enjoyed our time at this home. The home is as advertised and much nicer than any of the other rental options in the area.

Amazing Stay for Reunion

Simply put: the house lived up to all its photos and the owner (Rob) was friendly, accessible, and helpful. It was one of the best houses (if not the best) we've rented on VRBO and hope to return for subsequent college reunions. We were several couples with kids and the house had more than enough space, an enormous kitchen and outdoor grill for BBQ-ing, and a beautiful dock on the lake for early morning kayaking and fishing. Thank you, Rob! An amazing stay!

Spectacular Lakefront home

This is a spectacular lakefront home on Cayuga Lake (Finger Lakes). It was expensive, but the home is beautiful and spacious with 5 beautiful bedrooms and a large hot tub. The fifth bedroom has 4 bunk beds for kids. I believe every room can view the lake, which is just a short walk out the backyard and down the steps to a perfect dock with Adirondack chairs. Pure serenity. The internet is fast with 75Mbps download & 15 MBps upload. They also have Amazon Prime, Apple TV & Hulu. My only minor complaint was that they have cut the cord to Network/Cable TV. We visited during the Olympics, so it was a bit tough to watch network TV. The owner is very responsive and very helpful. This is his home and he takes great pride in it. This home is a 5-star beauty. Fantastic home on the Finger Lakes.
