Cayuga Lakeside - Close to Ithaca!

A short drive from Ithaca, this recently remodeled three bedroom, two bath home is boasting with lakefront fun. Leave all your cares at home and enjoy “Cayuga Lakeside!”

Inside, views of Cayuga Lake shine through the wall to wall windows that span the length of the open floor plan. Wooden flooring allows the light to beam in from the windows and bounce across the room, while cool shades of grey add an alluring charm.

Granite countertops accentuate the custom kitchen cabinetry. Prep your favorite meals and enjoy visiting with friends and family as they gather around the breakfast bar. Mealtime is made easy with a farmhouse style table just off the kitchen.

The living area intertwines with the dining area, and offers a comfortable setting whether you're watching a movie, visiting with your group, or curling up with a good book and enjoying the lake view.

Upstairs, the master bedroom with ensuite bath offers the best view in the house. Wake each morning and step out onto your private balcony while taking in the panoramic lake views. Completing the second floor are two bedrooms, each decorated with your comfort in mind, and the second full bath.

Outside, two additional decks offer the perfect lake setting and chance to entertain! A walkout dock provides easy access to the cool waters of Cayuga Lake whether you're spending the day fishing, jumping into the water, or taking a kayak for a paddle. Sunset will soon become your favorite part of the day when you see the shades of pink and orange dance across the sky. Make sure to bring your camera, you won't want to miss this shot!

Nearby, MacKenzie Childs offers a local treat and Main Street in Aurora is filled with quaint shops for you to explore. Or, take the quick trip into Ithaca for graduation, or wedding at Cornell or Ithaca Colleges. A stop at a local Finger Lakes winery is a must, and lucky for you Long Point Winery is 5 minutes away. Ample fun can be had no matter which way you look when you stay at Cayuga Lakeside! Call and make your reservation today!

*For everyone's safety, when driving on Sunset Beach Road, please drive very slowly.

Overall, I’d stay again!

The location, property, and towns surrounding this house are wonderful. However, the cleanliness of the property both inside and outside could be heavily improved. We had to wash dishes before we could use them. Spider webs and bugs were all over inside and outside the house.

Near Aurora Lake House

The house was clean and fine inside. The lower outer deck was filthy and unusable to sit outside to enjoy the lake view. Parking was very tight and difficult for even one car. The showers were either scorching or freezing with nothing in between. There was clearly no one staying before us and the rental company would not let us enter even a moment before the 4 pm check-in time, even though I called 6 hours earlier. It was very expensive for what we got. We will not be returning.

Cayuga Sunsets

Overall, we were very happy with the stay. Kayaking was enjoyable, and the closeness to Ithaca and Aurora gave us a lot to do. The interior cleanliness and style of the house was just fine. We had no complaints there at all. The main problem was the three lovely decks around the house were not kept up. A power washing would help. Chairs were shown on the upper deck in the picture but were not there when we arrived. The two chairs on the dock level were unusable. The middle level was furnished fine with two nice tables and a grill, however, upon arrival, everything was covered with bugs, and I didn’t feel that it was up to me to clean the tables, so we never used the nice deck. The kayaks were in good condition so we had a lot of fun with them. Overall, it was a very enjoyable stay. Just remember that parking is tight on each side of the house.

No air conditioning

When we arrived the house was 90 degrees, the downstairs air conditioning unit was not working. We called and someone supposedly came out Saturday while we weren’t home. When we returned it still was not fixed and when we called again we did not receive a return call. It was the hottest week of the summer, so air conditioning would have made our stay a little better. We paid a pretty steep cleaning fee and the outside decks and furniture were covered in bugs, dirt and cob webs. Spiders everywhere. The inside was cleaned well, no complaints there. The views were amazing and we enjoyed our weekend getaway but the house could definitely be more well maintained.
