About this property

Clean Well Maintained Cayuga Lake Perfect For Families, Wineries, College Visits

Beautiful three-bedroom single-family home located in the Town of Ithaca. We are only 1.5 miles from downtown Ithaca, but it is a world apart. Private lot with private dock and private swimming and grass area down by the lake. We have two kayaks, a canoe and a fire pit on the property. We keep the house clean and update and renovate the house regularly. Our house electricity is solar, powered by Solar Farms, New York.

We now have a master bathroom and two full bathrooms!!

A great location to visit Cornell University, Ithaca College, The Ithaca Farmer's Market, The Ithaca Commons and the Finger Lakes Wineries. Taughannock Falls, Buttermilk Falls and Treman State Park are all nearby. Easy boat entry at Treman Marina, one mile down the road.

This is fun kitchen to cook in since you are lakeside. Kitchen has sliding glass doors to large lakeside deck. Cherry floors, granite countertops, pendant lights, dishwasher, garbage disposal, oversized fridge, eat-in table with seating for seven. Gorgeous views from almost every room, including 8 windows in the living room, 3 in the master bedroom, 3 windows and a three paneled sliding glass door in the kitchen and a 6 bay window and large picture windows in the downstairs bedroom. The house is renovated and modern. Hardwood floors and beautiful finishing touches everywhere. All kitchen items (pots, pans, plates), sheets, blankets and towels are provided.

Bedrooms: Master w/ fantastic views of Cornell and King Bed. This room has an attached master bathroom with a shower. The downstairs bedroom is the Bay Window Room. This room has fantastic views of the lake, a queen bed, and is near the downstairs bathroom. The second upstairs bedroom has a skylight and two twin beds.

Pet Policy: We allow pets because we love our dogs and they love to travel with us. This is a great place for dogs, not only because they can go swimming, but because the deck and grass are all fenced in. You can let the dog out from the kitchen without even leaving the house. You must clean up after your pet, of course. We charge only a $40 fee for dogs that we spend on end of the year professional carpet cleaners. Note: If your dog is elderly then this might not be a great house with all the steps.

Cleaning:
House is professionally cleaned between tenants. Cleaners provide the beds made with clean sheets.

Who Can Rent:
It is a quiet area and is not appropriate for loud/late-night parties. We do not allow additional guests.

Our property is steep. There is a long stair case to the house from the driveway. All tenants and guests must be able to navigate stair with ease. Unfortunately it is not handicapped accessible.

Winter: Our house is a real year-round house and you can set the thermostat to whatever is comfortable. We usually do not plow or shovel the lower driver in winter since it is pretty steep. Winter tenants will have to walk from the upper parking (or even from the road in serious snow) to the house.

About the host

Hosted by Carolyn Greenwald

Host profile image
We are a family of five living in Ithaca New York. This was where Carolyn and Adam lived when we were first married. We enjoy hosting because we love sharing our home with travelers. Everyone is so excited to see the lake for the first time. We work hard to maintain the home as if we still lived there. We are always updating and renovating it. In 2025 we finally constructed new parking close to the house and a less steep driveway (its still pretty steep but its much better!). In 2024 we added a second bathroom (not sure why it took 20 years to think of that one!) We are always updating appliances, linens and everything else to keep the house in tip top condition.

Why they chose this property

Ithaca is a fantastic vacation spot. It is located on beautiful Cayuga Lake, the longest and deepest of the finger lakes. You can boat, dock, fish or swim right off our dock. Ithaca has three amazing state parks with fantastic hikes, amazing views and great swimming, with Taughannock Park just up the road. Ithaca is directly on the finger lakes wine trail and many wonderful wineries are nearby. There are many top quality restaurants and plenty of places to grab a quick bite. If you stay at our house, you will have easy access to Taughannock Park, Cass Park, the Hanger Theater, downtown and to Wegmans (a top supermarket), so you won't have to spend a lot of time in the car. There is also a wonderful farmer's market in Ithaca with music, good produce and a great community vibe. In other words, you can relax and do nothing but stare at nature or partake easily in many outdoor activities, it will be up to you.

What makes this property unique

The house has several wonderful features. First and foremost is the location. You are directly on the lake. You can swim. You can boat. You can jump in the lake off the dock. You can sit on the deck and relax. At the same time, we are just 1.5 miles from shops and downtown Ithaca. You have all the benefits of the lake and wine country without having to drive 25 minutes to the supermarket. My next favorite feature of the house is the sliding doors in the kitchen. You can eat outside on the deck just as easily as you can eat inside at the kitchen table. As soon as we put in those doors, we had breakfast outside every day for months. It is wonderful. The next best feature of the house is the lakeside deck. It is a great place to sit and relax or BBQ or have a cool drink.
