Entire property

Very quiet and scenic. Winding roads down to the lake.

There are 60 stairs from the parking area to the house so this is not a good choice for people with mobility issues. There is room for 3 cars at the bottom of the driveway and another 3 at the top of the driveway. Entire property line is waterfront so children must be tended to at all times.
-Renter must be at least 30 years old and must provide id for verification. Any reservations made by individuals under age 30 will be cancelled.
-This property is directly on the lake. Children must be supervised at all times.

Perfect Thanksgiving get-away
This lovely lake home had absolutely everything our family of 4 needed for a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. In addition to spectacular lake views, the kitchen was fully stocked with every pot, pan, appliance, serving bowl, etc that we needed for preparing and serving the meal. The gas fireplace and large sofa in the great room made for cozy evenings. The location is ideal—close to Ithaca but also just far enough away to feel like a retreat. Ardys and Mark were such thoughtful hosts—every detail had been thought out, from leaving outdoor lights on for our nighttime arrival, to providing a welcome basket with dish soap, laundry detergent, toiletries, etc., to checking in every couple of days to see if we needed anything. Can’t wait to visit again soon!

Amazing Home
Simply an amazing property that exceeded our expectations. Location is unbelievable and the home itself is beautiful, clean and well appointed. Master bedroom provides incredible sunrise views overlooking the lake and an awesome master bathroom. Plenty of board games to keep the family busy along with kayaks and a paddle board to explore the lake. Fishing right from the backyard of the property was a bonus. Went on a number of day hikes to local trails and spent an afternoon visiting some of the nearby vineyards. Owners were top notch and extremely professional to deal with, not to mention very responsive. I highly recommend this property and would stay here again if ever back in the area.

Lake side Gem!
Beautiful setting, with a well appointed home in style, comfort and flow! With so many details were attended to, it made everyone in our group feel welcomed. - Beddings, kitchen equipment and essentials, laundry supplies, information about the house & on local options, and a welcome basket of items travelers may need. The view from every window, patio, deck is stunning! In such close proximity to the water, the upper floors can feel like the deck of a ship. Parking was easy for 3 cars, but... The drive down takes a steady hand, and the stairs are no joke- safe and manageable, but need attention, especially when there's a bit of frost or ice. Owners were readily available and accommodating. Enjoy!

Amazing house!
Ardys house was so nice! Everything was exactly as it is in the pictures. There are a bunch of stairs you need to go up and down to get to and from the house. You will see those in the pictures provided. We used the kayaks on the lake, which was awesome. We hung out on the porch and had amazing views of Cayuga Lake. The neighbor was quiet and private in November. Highly recommend this vrbo.
