About this property

Cayuga Sunshine: "Luxury on Cayuga Lake. Close to Aurora!"

On a prime location on the east side of Cayuga Lake, Cayuga Sunshine will brighten any Finger Lakes getaway. Situated on the edge of the charming village of Aurora, this gem is ideal whether you are touring wineries, visiting Cornell University and Wells College, or attending a lakeside wedding.

Inside, this newly updated home will calm you with its shades of blues, grays and greens, mirroring the views of the shimmering lake below. You'll find the open-plan living/dining room quickly becomes your favorite spot to visit with friends and family. The kitchen accents the great room with emerald green cabinetry and white granite countertops. An island bar offers seating for two. Pour a glass of Finger Lakes wine and visit with the chef of your group while they prepare your favorite meals. Completing the entry level, two master suites are yours to choose from. Upstairs, the third bedroom and bath can be found. Each bedroom is thoughtfully decorated with your comfort and tranquility in mind.

Outside, a walk down the gravel driveway and across the road leads to your 200-ft of private lake frontage. Enjoy skipping rocks, lounging in an Adirondack chair, launching the tandem kayak or watching the many red-tailed hawks and osprey. As the sun sets and the sky is painted with shades of pink and orange, start a fire in the pit and listen to the waves crashing on the shore. Be sure to bring your camera because every sunset is different from the last.

The village of Aurora offers boutique shopping at world-famous MacKenzie-Childs and fine dining at 1833 Kitchen and Bar. For a casual meal after a day on the water, stop in at Fargo Bar & Grill for a burger or seasonal fare. Heart and Hands Wine Company, Bright Leaf Vineyard and Treleaven Wines are short drives away. If a local beer is more your thing, don't miss the tasting room at the Aurora Brewing Co. Whether you're hiking the gorges of Ithaca, taking a private boat tour of the lake with Aurora native Captain Matt Bianconi, indulging at Doug's Fish Fry in the resort town of Skaneateles, visiting the Women's Rights Museum or the Harriet Tubman home, or taking in summer stock at the Merry-Go-Round Playhouse or Hangar Theatre, Cayuga Sunshine is the perfect location for Finger Lakes fun.

Weekend of Joy
Came to Aurora for a family wedding and this property was just what we needed! Home was beautiful and comfortable for all. A perfect place to relax when not at the wedding festivities. Panoramic views are stunning and the best for enjoying morning coffee and watching boats and wildlife. We only wished we could have stayed longer - highly recommend!

Nice Retreat
This house was perfect for my girlfriends and I. The bathroom to bedroom ratio is perfect, we were able to make home cooked meals while we stayed, and there was plenty of room to hang out! I wish we had taken advantage of the waterfront fire pit, but we will save it for next time!

Aurora-adjacent with lovely view of Cayuga
Clean, orderly house with both common areas and separate spaces for privacy. Only real issue is limited hot water in the shower; if you're looking for shower of more than 5, 6 minutes, you'll be out of luck. Kitchen is orderly and functional, BR (only used one) perfectly fine. Joined LR-Kitchen-Dining area offers lovely lake views. WiFi worked fine. Would've appreciated basic TV to allow for watching local news and weather; it's BYO premium channels, FYI, and no basic channels provided. About 1 mile to north end of Aurora, another half mile to compact, picturesque campus of Wells College - which is worth a walk-around 'cause it's so pretty.
