About this property
Private Cayuga Lakefront Retreat | Dock/Wine Trail
Situated between Cayuga and Seneca Lakes, just 25 miles north of Ithaca, this peaceful getaway in the quaint town of Ovid puts you right in the heart of New York’s wine country. Surrounded by the renowned Cayuga and Seneca Lake Wine Trails, the region is celebrated for its world-class Rieslings—be sure to bring a bottle home! Beyond the vineyards, you'll find a thriving mix of breweries, cideries, and distilleries. Local favorites include Liquid State Brewing for live music and craft beer, and Finger Lakes Cider House for hard cider and farm-fresh fare.
Located just off scenic Route 89 and right by Cayuga Lake, this home makes it easy to explore nearby towns like Ithaca, Trumansburg, and Seneca Falls. Whether you're visiting colleges, browsing local shops and markets, or dining lakeside, there’s something for everyone. Nature lovers will enjoy nearby hiking, biking, boating, and iconic destinations like Taughannock Falls—the tallest in the state. From laid-back lake days to wine-filled adventures, this is your ideal Finger Lakes escape.
