Comfort, quietness, and views abound

Beautiful views abound in this cozy yet spacious lakefront cottage. The living area is larger than pictured, as is the waterfront area. The kitchen and outdoor shed are stocked with anything one might need or desire for an enjoyable stay.The house was impeccably clean, and plenty of towels, paper goods, and cleaning products were supplied. The road leading to the home is quiet and the surroundings provide for a mostly private experience.The host was generous and communicative. We will definitely return to this gem on the lake!

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

We are on the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail just off route 89. This cottage is located on a quiet road with plenty of parking. About 150 feet of lake frontage and very private.

What makes this property unique

Fall is arriving soon. This cottage is surrounded by the beatiful foilage around the lake. We are at the widest part of Cayuga Lake and can view 10 miles north of the cottage.
Easy access to the lake. Campfires on the beach will be an experience to remember. Every morning enjoy the beautiful sunrise as well as the evening sunset.
