Outstanding Home On Cayuga Lake

Our five night stay at this wonderful home on Cayuga Lake was outstanding. The property is clearly a 10! The home is beautifully decorated, well-equipped, extremely clean, and so comfortable. The views of the lake are truly spectacular. We loved the two-sided gas fireplace and living areas. The master bedroom, closet, and master bath are extremely spacious. The kitchen was well-stocked and had everything we needed. The welcome basket provided by the hosts was a wonderful added touch. The home is in a perfect location, close to Ithaca, state parks, and wineries. Ardys was very helpful and responded quickly to any questions we had. We would highly recommend this home and we look forward to returning in the future.

Perfect Lake Get-away

Had a perfect week! Ardys and her husband have a beautiful house and we were so pleased to be able to rent it for a week. Location was great and we loved being right on the water. Almost every evening was spent out back enjoying the view and peacefulness! We spent many hours fishing and using the kayaks provided to tour up and down the lake! Every room was beautifully furnished and anything you can think of needing was provided! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. Hope we can return sometime!! ~Chris and Judy

Great location right next to the water. Couldn't ask for a more responsive and helpful host. The house is recently renovated and very nice with plenty of good hang out spaces, and conveniently close enough to town and Taughannock Blvd without the noise and crowds.

Wonderful lake house

The house was in a great location - you can’t beat being right next to the water in a tastefully renovated and comfortable space, while also being within a very reasonable distance from all things Ithaca. The kitchen was well stocked, the main area a great place to hang out, and the bedrooms private and comfortable. As an added bonus, the hosts were very thoughtful and responsive! Thumbs up!

For someone with mobility issues this property would not work, but for anyone else this place is exceptional. With a beautiful layout that is thoughtfully furnished, immaculately clean, extremely well equipped, and ideally located both for convenience and aesthetics it met or exceeded all of our expectations. Our family group of nine, six adults and three small children, were very comfortably accommodated during our 3-day stay, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The wonderful memories we took home are priceless.

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.

This is the perfect location, close to the town of Ithaca, Ithaca college, wineries, and right on the water. The owner was super responsive and went above and beyond to welcome us (gift basket with snacks, toiletries, laundry detergent, etc.). We would definitely stay here again!
