Ithaca, New York
Enjoy our two-bedroom rustic cabin just a few minutes from Cornell University and Ithaca College.
Surrounded by magnificent hemlock trees and nestled on the hillside above Lake Cayuga, the cabin also has a shale beachfront and dock with use of the kayaks, canoe, and boathouse.
You can focus on water sports or use the cabin as a base for exploring the spectacular scenery (the gorgeous gorges are just minutes away), wineries, restaurants, colleges, museums, Watkins Glenn activities and other treasures of the area.
Although you are only minutes from all that Ithaca has to offer (including Wegman's!), the cabin is a world apart: you feel as though you are in a treehouse--surrounded by hemlocks and rhododendren. A walk down the hillside brings you to the shale beachfront and access to Ithaca's most stunning asset: 40-mile long, 600+ feet deep, glacier-formed Lake Cayuga.
A big advantage of the cabin is its location on the lake but in Ithaca. Most Cayuga Lake cabins are 20-35 miles away from the Ithaca attractions.
We live in the large house on the property but your parking, entrance, beachfront, etc., are all private, we rarely cross paths with the folks in the cabin. We also rent the main house when we are out of town which can hold 8-10 guests.

A perfect spot to recharge, enjoy the scenery and unwind from the business of every day life. Thank you for letting us enjoy the peace and quiet of nature in your perfect little cabin.
Great location and beautiful lake views
We came for an equestrian event. The town’s culture and food is amazing. Staying at this lake house was like staying at my grandparent’s cabin as a child! Checked all the boxes.
Perfect sized cabin with unbelievable location on Cayuga Lake. Lots of amenities provided for a great day on the lake! We will definitely say again!
The cabin was perfect. Close to everything including Cornell, downtown Ithaca, waterfalls. It was very relaxing, we enjoyed sitting by the lake on the dock, went out in the canoe. Sally was a great host. We would love to stay here again sometime.
It was super peaceful and just a great place to stay. The kids had a blast.
It was a very peaceful and well equipped cabin. The hosts were very responsive and they left lots of helpful information.
We enjoyed our stay at this cute, clean cabin. While not right on the lake, it is a short walk down to a private beach and dock. I enjoyed sitting by the lake for morning coffee, yoga, and evening drinks. We would stay again.
As good as it gets for a lake front cottage stay except the owners could not convince any fish to let us catch them. 10 minutes away from Cornell that feels like several light years.
Lovely hillside cabin overlooking south end of Cayuga Lake. Plenty of living space for 2 couples. Driveway to property is a steep slope. Two flights of stairs from parking area to cabin are challenging.
Sally and Richard's cabin was the best stay I could've asked for as my partner and I visited the Cornell campus and drove through Ithaca for the weekend. The cabin is situated right on the lake and the views are unmatched. You can see the Cornell campus across the lake from the dock. The place is only a 10 minute drive from the central Cornell campus. It gets plenty of natural light. And it is welcoming to say the least. When I come back to Ithaca, this cabin will be the first place I check for availability.
Convenient location minutes from Cornell. The views from the dock are gorgeous!
Rainy and cold , home needs updating, parking had a challenging entry and exit. Staircase leading from parking are needs to be replaced not very safe. Decks need cleaning and staining.
Quiet, peaceful. Served the purpose. Driveway hard to locate. Stairs to cabin tough for seniors. 1 bathroom. Furniture needs an upgrade. Kitchen ok. Steep housekeeping fee. Not a clear view of lake
Great cabin
Great cabin accessible to all that Ithaca has to offer.
We equipped kitchen and bath, comfortable beds and furniture. Added plus: a beach.
Enjoyed our stay in this Cozy two bedroom cabin with access to a small beach area. Location was great.
We stayed here with our 4 year old and 6 month old and we absolutely loved it! We really enjoyed being just steps away from the water and loved the homey feel of the cabin. There’s tons to see and do in the area and coming back to the cabin was always a treat. I definitely recommend staying here!
Nicely set up with access to a beautiful spot on the lake and with responsive hosts.
Kids enjoyed the lake and boats provided
Lovely cabin and very convenient to Cornell.
The cabin is as advertised and was perfect for our family of four. We had adequate space, everything was clean, and the kids enjoyed the lake access.
My family stayed Sally’s cabin for a week during our summer road trip. The cabin was wry clean and had everything we needed during out week stay. From cookware, soaps and detergent to kayaks and water shoes, Sally provides all. The location was also perfect. Our family spend many hours fishing every day from the deck and swim platform. My son loved swimming and catching crawfish too! It is quiet and private, but very close to Ithaca and many amazing state parks! We had a great pleasure meeting with Sally during our stay. She is so kind and thoughtful, sharing a lot of great places to visit. She also let us fish from the main dock that belongs to the main house while her family were at home. We absolutely recommend Sally’s cabin to anyone, and we hope to come back soon too!
Great base of operations for all of our Finger Lakes adventures - gorge hiking, wineries, distilleries, great restaurants, and water sports. The cabin has everything you might need, including great and helpful hosts. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks, Sally & Richard!
We had a lovely time staying at Sally and Richard's lake cabin. The lake was beautiful and the location is just a short 10-15 minute drive from downtown Ithaca. If we're ever back in the area we'd stay again!
My fiancé and I enjoyed are staying at the cabin! It was quiet, clean, was right next to the water, and a lovely home. It was a lot of stairs for someone who may have mobility issues, but other than that, it was a wonderful place!
We recently had the pleasure of staying at this property in Ithaca, New York for my son’s graduation. From our initial contact, one year ago to the weekends stay, Sally has been absolutely wonderful to work with! The property was very clean, location was terrific. We truly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this location.
