It was clean, comfortable, rustic and yet modern.

We enjoyed relaxing on the porch, sitting by the fire pit, and appreciated all of the amenities the kitchen and seating area offered. We especially enjoyed the wine tour. It was a great location in such a beautiful area.

Excellent spot for a Finger Lakes getaway

The cabin fit its online description to a tee. It was rustic enough so that it felt like a vacation, but with all the amenities to make the stay very comfortable. My only regret was that I could not find the advertised path to the lake.

We enjoyed our stay at this cabin.

Overall impression of the property was very positive. Our cabin was spacious and the kitchen came with all the things you need to cook meals. Having the three cabins together is perfect for family gatherings. The area was very nice. I especially liked the radiant heat floors. I hope to come back another time.

Gorgeous modern log cabin

You must experience this beautiful log cabin located directly along Cayuga's wine trail. The cabin is newly built and contains modern amenities. It was a perfect stay after touring more than 16 wineries along the trail. The owners Cheryl & Jim are wonderful and outdo themselves to make sure you enjoy your stay. They have access to the lake within walking distance. I will be highly recommending their cabins to all my friends and looking forward to returning many times.

Cabin life!

These cabins are perfect for a long weekend stay. They are very clean and comfortable! Everything you would need is there. The owner lives across the street and came over to great us while he was mowing the lawn. He gave us a tour of the property! You will have access to the lake and a large pavilion if you can walk down the many stairs to the lake. The fire pit is huge with lots of chairs. There was lots of wood, paper and matches to get it going.

perfect peaceful retreat

We just returned from a beautiful stay at Cheryl & Jim's cabin & can't wait to go back! The cabin was beautifully appointed and had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend in the Finger Lakes. We appreciated that the kitchen was stocked with all of the essential tools/plates/cups so that we were able to utilize the charcoal BBQ and have a relaxing evening at the cabin. Everything was clean & well-maintained. The location was great & we got to hit all of the local spots - Finger Lakes Cider House, Boathouse Brewery, Myer Farm Distillery, and the wineries! - within a 5-10 minute drive.

New beautiful cabin with all the amenities required for a great time.

We had a great time staying in this lovely cabin. This is a newly built cabin that has all the amenities to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. The owners live nearby and were there to ensure we had everything we needed. We were there in April and even though it was too cold to fully enjoy the lake there was plenty of other activities to fill our days. There are beautiful parks and trials to walk / hike. We went on a different hike every morning. The Taughannock Falls are just beautiful and only 10 minutes from the cabin. The afternoons were spent visiting the many wineries in the area. As I said, we had a great time and would recommend this place to anyone visiting/vacationing in the area.

The cabins are great!

We overall really enjoyed our stay in Cayuga Lake Cabin "B". These cabins are spectacular! Cheryl and Jim thought of pretty much every detail, and they are lovely, hospitable people. There were only two of us, but it would have been ample for four or even six. Being accustomed to hotels, it was wonderful to have a fully outfitted kitchen during a trip, and it especially came in handy with limited food options in the immediate area. The main room was really comfortable, and the property is super peaceful and whisper quiet -- we never heard a peep from neighbors the entire week. A few notes: If you stay in Cabin "B" over summer, the bedrooms don't have their own air conditioning units, and we were unlucky to have gotten a week with warm and humid nights -- we like it cold for sleeping, so we ended up sleeping in the main room on the fold-out couch. Also, the lake access (across the street from the cabins) is beautiful, but it's a workout to get there even if you're in some shape -- it's down a steep hill with lots and lots of stairs. But we found that neither of those things truly affected our stay. Staying in Cheryl and Jim's cabin was a really nice change of pace!

Nice property that is next to (2) other cabins that share a fireplace. On route 89 so can get a little loud with traffic but it's no bad. I prefer a little softer mattress as for me it was too firm.

About the host

Hosted by Cheryl Santos

Host profile image
My husband Jim and I moved to Cayuga Lake in 2002 - he from Pine City NY and me from Hawaii. We both are naturally drawn to water, so Cayuga Lake was our chosen place. My husband has 3 grown children and he retired in 2012. Now our children are of the four-legged sort (we have friendly tale-wagging dogs and we invite you to bring your dogs along). We live directly across the street from the cabin and we are always available if you need anything. We take great pride in providing a clean, comfortable vacation property, and it is important to us that you have a wonderful vacation experience. We want to ensure that you’ll make memories here that will stay with you for a lifetime.

Why they chose this property

We chose Cayuga Lake for its natural beauty, the variety of things to see and do in close proximity, yet also the tranquility of country living. We envisioned building a cabin here so we could share this unique area with others, providing a comfortable retreat for our guests. We designed and built the cabin as a contemporary modern space yet with rustic charm.

What makes this property unique

Situated in a sunny field adjoining the woods, this log cabin is a tranquil retreat. It is very spacious for 2 – 6 people with an open floor plan, cathedral ceilings, and 2 private bedrooms. It is impeccably clean and is well equipped with most necessary items. The cabin is centrally located on the Cayuga Wine Trail. Nearby are hiking trails, biking paths, and quaint shops. The cabin rental costs less per person than many hotels, plus you have your own private space. The radiant floor heating warms the cabin to a cozy temperature on cool nights. It is also air conditioned for your comfort in summer months.
