About this property

Spacious 6-bedroom house on Cayuga Lake in the heart of the Finger Lakes!

Silver Strand is my family's historic home that sits half way up Cayuga Lake in Sheldrake. The lake view is what makes this house so special. Almost every room looks out at 20 miles of open water. Relax on the property, which features a large wrap-around porch, long beach and dock and a big lawn. Or, explore the local area, which consists of the Cayuga Lake and Seneca Lake wine trails and many great hikes through gorges with beautiful waterfalls.

The house has six bedrooms, seven baths and plenty of room to breathe. Five rooms feature queen beds, private baths and balconies made for unwinding. Endless lake views from your own private perch, guaranteed.

The kitchen? Chef-approved - open, bright and leads straight to a patio with a grill. A ten-seat dining room keeps everyone gathered, and the cozy living room with a large screen TV keeps movie nights and game days easy.

Large wrap-around porch with multiple seating areas for happy hour, eating or just relaxation. The hammock is my favorite place to read or take a nap.

100 ft of beach front and 100 ft long dock provides ample room to swim, use your water toys, fish, lay out on the second story deck, sit with a bottle of wine enjoying sunset, or snuggle up and star gaze.

Guests have exclusive use of the entire property with the exception of the garage on the side of the property where my partner and I live. You have full access to the dock, but we do advertise it as a shared space because it is also used as the start and end point for our family's Water to Wine boat tour (highly recommended activity). They depart at 11am and return around 4pm.

Make sure you contact me if you have special requests or questions regarding the number of guests who plan to stay. Accommodations are best for 11 however, for an extra fee per extra guest, there is some flexibility.

This house was an excellent find. The host lives on the property and was available to answer the couple questions we had. This house was stocked with so many things: toilet paper, paper towels, tissues, coffee and creamer, and tea. All of the bathrooms had hand soap, lotion, shampoo, conditioner and body wash. There were also phone chargers in the bedrooms. There was signage throughout the house with instructions for different things. There is a large ice maker and a separate drink cooler. Handy to have in wine country! The host thought of all the things to make our stay so enjoyable. I have never rented a house before that had so many things stocked for your stay! We will look to rent this house again on our next trip to the Finger Lakes.

Luke and Tara are excellent hosts. They are very thoughtful in the supplies and amenities they have available throughout the house. Communication with Luke was easy and efficient, and he responds timely to address concerns and questions.The house is amazing and perfectly suited the needs of my family and me. We were able to have a wonderful celebration for my mother's 80th birthday. There is enough space that the 10 of us could gather together when we wanted to and also be on our own or in small groups if we chose that. The views of the lake are incredible, and the sunrises and sunsets were beautiful.
