Beautiful Property

Great place. Wish we could have spent more time, beautiful views of the lake and very quiet. Had plenty of space for four adults and a child.

Perfect experience!

Our family had an absolutely incredible stay on the property! Amazing lake views, very peaceful and spacious. We grilled right on the porch and had a campfire after awesome days swimming and boating. All of our kids had to be pulled out of the water and slept well after hours playing on the complementary kayaks and paddle boards and swim mats. After they conked out, the adults hung out on the long porch listening to the waves on the beach below and drinking wine from our Cayuga Wine trail adventures. The hosts were fantastic and gave us great recommendations! Wonderful communication before our arrival and during our stay. We recommend Flying Pig near by along Route 89 for delicious baked goods and there are tons of restaurant choices in nearby Trumansburg. There is so much to do in the area, and we've only scratched the surface! We'll definitely be back soon!!

Rustic, nice to be by the water

Reviewing this site is somewhat difficult. Although the lodging it's self was satisfactory, the host and maintenance crew was very helpful and responsive with our concerns. We loved being right by the water and being able to paddle board/ kayak was wonderful. The 3 main bedrooms were comfortable. The bunk bed room with twin and trundle was perfect for kids but the bunk would never fit an adult comfortably ( Just and FYI) The area is lovely. Being close to the falls and Ithaca was great.

So fun and comfortable!

Only thing that would have made our stay even better was instructions on how to use the TV equipment to get local channels. We had a rainy Sunday and would have been great to get the football games on TV

Great get away

We had a wonderful stay in this large, comfortable, rustic cottage. We had everything we needed in the kitchen and the beds were very comfortable. Our favorite spot was on the porch overlooking the lake --- and the kayaks and paddle boards were great fun. Thank you!
