We had just a quick overnight stay for a birthday/bachelorette celebration and we all agreed we wished could have stayed longer! The house was great, fit 8 adults with plenty of room to spare! Lisa was easy to work with and provided some great recommendations for places to visit.

Beautiful Lakefront!

Even though it was off season and we didn’t get to utilize the lake, the view alone was amazing! Property was clean and well stocked. If staying in the winter months, the only thing to be aware of is the area in the lower/basement (bedroom, bathroom, small kitchen/living area) doesn’t get as warm as the main level and upstairs. Our stay was very enjoyable.

Excellent family time

Lake view is amazing. Very nice property. The owners were super responsive when we texted. The room configurations really worked for our group. We’re a group that has teenagers, 40 something’s and grandparents, so we need to spread out and this house allowed us to do that.

Great place for a reunion with old friends.

The accommodations included everything we needed in the kitchen. There were more beds available than were evident on the website, so we didn’t have to double up the way we thought we would have to. We had a very peaceful, comfortable stay with super views of the lake. Lisa was great to work with, and very responsive.

Family Reunion at Cayuga Lake

We had a family reunion for a week at Cayuga Lake. We visited a Science Museum in Ithaca, Water Park in Rochester, Lucas Vineyard, and Taughannock Falls. In the middle of the week, we rented a pontoon boat and cruised around the lake. Lots of fun!

Very Dirty House

We couldn't have been more put off by how dirty the house was. We will be requesting our cleaning fee back because the house clearly hadn't been cleaned in many months. Spider webs (full of bugs) attached to the couches, lights, tables, doors. Dust covering surfaces. Sticky handles on the kitchen cupboards. Dishwasher did not function properly. Location was great, but I would not recommend this property unless you want to be cleaning upon arrival.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Harrington

Host profile image
We purchased Shady Beach in the Fall of 2016 for our family of five to have a lakeside getaway to enjoy during each of the beautiful seasons on Cayuga Lake. Our hope is that by offering our special place to others, we'll be able to keep building and improving our lake house for all to relax and enjoy, while helping to support our dreams of retiring lakeside someday.

Why they chose this property

Cayuga Lake has always held a special place in our hearts as our family has spent many years enjoying the Finger Lakes. Cayuga's convenient location to our home base in Airport, NY, makes it ideal for us to retreat quickly to our oasis from our daily hectic life. The setting of the house and how it overlooks the lake, offers a serene atmosphere and breathtaking lake views. The house is right on West Lake Road, which is the route for the Cayuga Wine Trail and 25 wonderful wineries are situated within just a few miles of the house. The kids enjoy pumpkin chucking at Varick Winery in the fall, Winter is a wonderland of beauty and the fireplaces offer a cozy lakeside setting for holidays or just a weekend getaway. And the spring and summer are of course idea to enjoy swimming, boating, relaxing and finding new adventures, such as the area state parks and waterfall. So much to explore.

What makes this property unique

Gorgeous private yet convenient location and upscale house offers all the amenities for a getaway that you can't help but enjoy!
