Comfortable lake house with a view

Six adult women friends slept comfortably in this house for a long weekend. The full bathroom on first floor had a great shower and was roomy. Most of our awake time was spent traveling to various wineries and breweries in the area. There are many! We walked to a couple nearby. It was a bit windy and cool so we didn’t get to enjoy the deck and fire pit as we would have liked, but the kitchen table offered a nice view of the lake. The neighbor was friendly and checked in on us upon arrival. She gave us extra coffee and filters, but we did find filters on day 2 tucked away in a drawer. I, personally, would have enjoyed staying an extra couple of days to further explore the area. Would definitely choose this house again.

Family stay on Cayuga

Lovely house that was perfectly appointed for us. Clean, fun, not too “precious” with delicate things everywhere. Weather was beautiful as was the view property managers were over quick to fix a leaky pipe and a hornets nest.
