About this property

If the dates you need are not available for The Garnsey, please search for The Backlund which we also own!

Recently purchased and fully renovated in 2019… bringing it back to life! This colonial lake house has amazing history dated back to the late 1700s. We’ve truly fallen in love with its old charm (but new feel) and want to share it with you!

The Garnsey can comfortably hold up to 10 guests with 4 large bedrooms (2 king beds + 2 queen beds + sectional sofa) and 2.5 bathrooms. Wait until you see the master ensuite! Free high speed WIFI access and TVs in each bedroom/living space.

The chef’s kitchen is an open concept layout with a custom island for the whole crew to enjoy meals and time together! Equipped with a dual fuel range, dishwasher, refrigerator with filtered water/ice, microwave, toaster, blender, pots/pans, dishes, and silverware. You will also have a Keurig coffee maker fully stocked with kcups and teas ready to brew!

The mudroom has an additional refrigerator if needed for drinks or extra food you may want to bring, a front loader washer and dryer, and a custom wash station.

You’ll have a large private beach front just a short (somewhat steep) walk down from the house for fishing, cookouts, or just to enjoy the view. The house’s upper balcony is a beautiful spot to take in sunrises as well! A new seasonal dock will be installed and available from May 15th – September 15th with public access boat launch available just 1.5 miles down the road at Cayuga Lake State Park if bringing/renting a boat.

Another great spot to enjoy is the outdoor cookout area on the paver patio in the backyard with a propane grill, patio set, and chiminea for fires at night.

Contactless check in with combination code access is as easy as it gets! We are local so if anything is needed during your stay, we will do our best to accommodate.

Considerations when booking:

- Route 89 is a busy road and has to be crossed to walk down to the lake shore.
- There are no stairs down to lake shore so the walk down the hill may be steep for some.
- The showers are located on the 2nd story so stairs will be required to shower.
- Main access to enter the house is through the garage.
- Any additional guests require pre-approval.
- No parties/events unless pre-approved.

***Please note that we will thoroughly clean and disinfect between each stay to prevent the spread of COVID19***

AMAZING!!!!

I stayed at Missy’s place for my bachelorette party and I cannot say enough positive things about it! From the second we walked in we were blown away by the adorable personal touches. Everything was spotless, there were fun games to play, the property was beautiful, the location was perfect.. the list goes on! I can’t wait to come back in the summer and take advantage of the lake!! Also Missy is incredibly responsive and sweet and helpful. Beyond a 10/10. Book now!!

10/10 for The Garnsey

What an amazing property. This house made our bachelorette weekend perfect. Beautiful bedrooms with oodles of pillows, wonderful kitchen, extra fridge space, and a lake front view that makes you want to get up and sing! Also a host that checks in regularly to make sure you’re never wanting. Would stay again and again ❤️

Exceeded expectations!

The home was immaculate and very well appointed. The host was gracious and has a knack for hospitality. The home was equipped with everything our family needed to enjoy the lake and area. The private boat house had kayaks and fishing poles, the dock was new and in great shape. It was perfect for us as we rented a pontoon while staying there. We would defiantly rent this home again!
