The house had more than I’ve ever had in any Vrbo- well equipped kitchen with everything possible, adequate furniture and lighting(so often I can’t read at night because of no side light or table), tissues, soaps, towels all more than needed. Such a great location for Ithaca based adventures. Great kayaking. Would gladly stay again

Fantastic trip!

We all had an amazing time. The location was bucolic, right on the lake. We were there for our daughter’s graduation weekend at Ithaca College. It was conveniently located close to the campus and the commons. The place was clean & the hot tub was a fun bonus! Randall was very responsive w/any questions I had. We highly recommend staying here and we will be back!

Amazing stay, well appointed clean home!!

I can't say enough about Randall and the home. It had everything we needed to feel like we were at our own house. The house was very clean, had every amenity we could need, the hot tub was hot, the cabinets were stocked. Waking up to the beautiful view of the lake was a bonus. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for an Ithaca getaway!!

A beautiful spot

This is a lovely place, with beautiful views and a comfortable vibe. The hot tub was lovely, and in warmer weather the access to the lake would’ve been awesome. It’s a perfect location, very close to Ithaca but removed enough to feel like you’re in nature. The spiral staircase was fun for us but do be warned it is a little tricky if someone has trouble with mobility, or is a small child. We really loved our stay and would definitely stay again!

Great Stay

We enjoyed our stay here. The house is beautiful with a well stocked kitchen for cooking, great hot tub, and beautiful lake views. You’re only minutes from everything in the Ithaca area while still being out of the city. The Blackstone rail to trail is also just across the road.

The property manager was incredibly helpful with instructions and diagrams to make arrival/departure smooth. And anything we needed to communicate during our stay he was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with overall.

Great Location

We had a lovely extra long weekend at Randall's house on the lake. The house is comfortably and thoughtfully furnished, and in a great location to explore Ithaca and farms and wineries along Cayuga Lake. Randall's communication and instructions were excellent. Do be aware of the steep driveway to access the parking area, and the stairs to access both the house and the lake. We appreciated that the house was pet friendly.

Great stay!

We really enjoyed our stay at this lake house. Plenty of space for the 3 of us, comfortable, lots of outdoor space. Listing is very accurate. We appreciated the use of the kayaks/floats and it was really nice that staples were provided (I hate buying ketchup on vacation and using 10% of it). House is close to downtown. Owner was really easy to work with and very communicative. We are very happy and will definitely look to rent here again next time we’re in Ithaca.

Fantastic view with ample accommodations

This place was the perfect landing spot for my family and pup for the week. Randall is a fantastic host that goes above and beyond to make sure you have what you need for your stay from basic toiletries, and linens to cooking spices, eggs, milk, coffee, and creamer! The water was the perfect place to hang out and swim at after a day of exploring and hiking, and the blow up rafts/mats were a plus! I would absolutely stay again, and 100% recommend it to anyone else!
