Thank you for the 5 star rating. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay and we hope to see you again soon.
The property is right on the lake and the views are unobstructed and amazing. The fire pit was used a lot by us. Cottage is newly built and very clean. It is well lit and there are views of the lake from both bedrooms and living room. The bed linen was very good quality. There were abundant towels. Kitchen had all utensils, cutlery, etc. that you might need but bring all food items you need to eat or cook with as expected. Fridge was quite big and very clean. If I may suggest, a few ice trays would be helpful since the fridge doesn’t have an ice maker. All in all, for our family of three, the cottage was just perfectly sized, amazingly located and super clean and comfortable.

What an amazing place with beautiful views. Perfect for two adult couples. Everything was new and clean. My only issue was that the en suite shower was very slippery and had no grab bars.we will definitely come back. It was just a wonderful stay.

The view was fabulous. The home was decorated nicely, clean, comfortable and had a great deck and dock. The cinder gravel was a bit challenging for the 2 who used crutches and a walker.

We had an unforgettable stay at this beautiful lake house on Cayuga Lake. The property was impeccably clean and incredibly comfortable, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The location is unbeatable, situated right on the lake, where we were able to watch breathtaking sunrises from the dock each morning. Fishing from the dock was a great success, and we caught plenty of fish!
Being close to several of the local wineries added a delightful touch to our trip. We spent our days exploring the vineyards and sampling some delicious wines. In the evenings, we made a fire on the beach, sipped on our favorite finds, and watched stunning sunsets over the water. It was a perfect combination of relaxation and adventure. We highly recommend this lake house for anyone looking to experience the best of Cayuga Lake!

Thank you so much for the review and for recommending our rental. We hope to see you again during your next trip to the Finger Lakes.
Second year staying at this property. Last year stayed at a different house on the property. Both houses were spectacular offering slightly different feels. The property owners are wonderful. Truly great people that are committed to their guests having the best experience possible. The lakefront cottage is nearly brand new. The owners did not cut any corners with this place. It is immaculate inside and out. The views are breathtaking from every room in the house. The furniture and beds are extremely comfortable. It is super clean. From the moment you enter the cottage you immediately fall into the relaxed lake vibe. We definitely did not want to leave. We will be back for sure.
