About this property
Great Cayuga Lake House Complex for families, reunions, or just relaxing!
The Lake House Complex includes the 2,200 square foot Lake House, the Lake Cottage and Bunk House . Situated next to each other on our beach (400 feet of frontage!), they're a great way for large groups to spread out and enjoy a beautiful site on scenic Cayuga Lake.
Relax with friends or family on the deck after a day on Cayuga Lake! Perfect for entertaining large groups! Enjoy a fire on the beach or swim from the adjacent beach.
Lake House: 2-floor, 2,200 sq. ft. house boasts 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
Open-plan configuration with dining room, living room, and full kitchen on main (top) floor, along with a full bathroom and two bedrooms. (1 with a queen bed and 1 with king bed and a day bed w/pull out twin, sleeping 4.)
Lower floor has 3 bedrooms (king, queen and bunk beds), a full bathroom, and another area to relax. (One sofa has a full-size pull-out.)
Lake Cottage: 1 bedroom with spectacular lake views and a memory foam king bed. Full kitchen and bathroom, as well as a living room with air conditioning/heating, television, propane BBQ, outdoor furniture and fire pit.
Bunk House: Includes 2 sets of bunk beds, air conditioning, and heating. (No separate bathroom in unit.)
The lake house is accessed down a flight of ~50 steps. Guests with limited mobility or who wish to drop off people and/or gear, can use our boat ramp that is adjacent to the Lake House Complex. Guests can be dropped on the beach and it is about 8 steps to the upper level of the Lake House. (The Lake Cottage is on one floor, 1 step above the beach.)
Spring, Summer and Fall guests: Lake house complex rental includes 1 electric boat hoist and a private dock. Additional docks with manual or electric hoists may be available for an additional fee. Please contact us to make sure we can accommodate your boat. Boats will need to be launched from Taughannock Falls State Park (3 miles south) or Dean's Cove (15 minutes north). Local boat rental companies are also familiar with delivering boats to our property.
Note: Fireplaces inside the units are not available for use. Electric heat provided.
Our property includes another house (Overlook Lodge) that sleeps 10, as well as 8 cabins and 2 yurts that each sleep between 4 and 6. This is the largest lakeside vacation rental property in the Ithaca area that can sleep over guests.
The Spotted Sandpiper is located in the woods with frontage on Cayuga Lake and bugs love the woods and water! They're savvy at finding their ways indoors. If the bugs are ever "bugging" you, we're always happy to help.
