Spacious 5 Bedroom Lakeside Retreat in the Heart of Wine Country

The house is very comfortable, instructions were clear, the kitchen is well-equipped, and the setting is outstanding, right on the lake with great views. Holly was quick to respond to our questions and concerns. Checking out was easy. This is just a great house.

Excellent on all counts everything thought out immaculately clean. There are a lot of stairs, but they do prepare you for that. It’s all worth it for the lake views.

We had a perfect weekend -- including the weather! Thanks for maintaining such a perfect place.

Great family place to stay. Quiet nights and comfortable accommodations.

Love this house!

Beautiful, well maintained, very spacious, really enjoyed our stay, excellent fishing was a bonus for the grandchildren.

We had a great time at this house! It’s hard to find a big house with king beds and this had 4 so that’s why we picked it originally. The kitchen and living areas were spacious, clean and comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped. The outdoor patio was also very nice but did need a little hosing down when we got there, which was easy to do. We loved the dock and fire pit as well. We rented a nice pontoon boat which was easily docked. The owner was very responsive any time we had a question. I would definitely go back here again.

Our family of 9 (7 adults and a 10 and 6 year old) had a wonderful 4 night stay at Holton Beach Retreat. The property is all about lake and sky. We took a rented boat fishing, to wineries, parks, and had a blast tubing in the 650 water. We hiked gorges, ate meals on the patio and at the huge dining room table, played our lawn games, kayaked, jumped off the dock and swim platform, and skipped an endless supply of stones. The kids especially loved the freedom of the water.Nearly every room faces the water. Four bedrooms and two baths up plus a bedroom and bathroom on the first floor were ideal. The beds were comfortable, the house was clean, and well stocked, especially the kitchen. Jugs of drinking water, a working grill, and kayaks/canoe with paddles were appreciated. We didn’t find the life jackets in the master BR closet until we packed to leave, but the kids had brought their own. The TV and Internet worked fine.Holly’s communication was great and driving directions were precise. The 70 steps up to our parking area were not a problem but we were grateful to be able to load/unload our cars at lake level next door.A few suggestions to consider bringing: kids life jackets that fit, a small grill scraper (we didn’t use the metal brush), water shoes to protect from sharp zebra mussels, and eye shades if you don’t rise and shine very early.Thank you Holly for sharing your fun house in such a beautiful area.

Beautiful house and location.

We came from Central PA and Canada to spend the weekend with friends. We enjoyed the Barbecue at Finger Lakes Cider House, a wine tour with Grapevine tours, hike at a few state parks and enjoyed the house and fire pit. Great gathering space. Well equipped kitchen. Spacious bedrooms. Beautiful view of the lake.

We had a wedding nearby and this lake house accommodated 9 of our family so we could be nearby for all of the events. We thoroughly enjoyed the lake with swimming and kayaking and the views were beautiful. The house had plenty of room and a large stocked kitchen. Holly was quick to reply to messages and accommodating. Thank you!

Holly, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us! Your family was SO kind and helpful, and always there to answer all of our questions. We were so comfortable during our stay and enjoyed exploring the area, but most of all, thoroughly enjoyed your gorgeous and relaxing property! We were all in awe of the lakeside view… we didn’t want to leave! Thank you again, and we hope to come back again in the near future! :)

We were able to enjoy all of the water sports that our family wanted, and fishing too. Great quite family spot with quiet evenings sharing around a fire. Close enough to Ithica to take advantage of rainy weather days.

We had a wonderful stay, house was clean, well stocked, comfortable and spacious. We would definitely stay again. Thank you for sharing your house with us.

This lake house suits our family perfectly. We like the great kitchen which is fully supplied, the 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, the big dock for fishing and tie up for our 2 jet skis and the nice campfire area. We appreciate the owners allowing us to unload our cars by using their driveway to get closer to the rental house. We found that this is the best house to rent on Cayuga Lake!

We had a wonderful time staying with family in this lake house. We spent our time on the dock, floating in the lake and kayaking. Even with all of this, we still had time to hit the wine trails, discover great places to eat and enjoy great music at the Cider House. The owners were very pleasant and eager to answer all of our questions.

Beautiful place to spend our 60th celebration! Everything that we needed and would love to try it again when we can get in the water! Had a bit of a hard time finding the house but was part of our adventure!
