Water's Edge on Cayuga Lake in Ithaca

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.

My husband and I stayed here with our two young children. The house is beautiful, very clean and well stocked. The views are gorgeous and the property is located near many great attractions. Ardys is a great communicator and host!

The property was very beautiful and well maintained. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed (although we didn't cook a lot). It was very nice to have restrooms on each floor and to have two bedrooms with attached very nice bathrooms. We stayed a week and had plenty of towels to use without doing laundry (although we washed some just to keep the place neat).The host was attentive and made sure we were comfortable and had what we needed. Everything we used in the house worked and was well maintained. The firepit was very nice to sit around to finish out our days with some wine and laughter. We also used the kayaks and enjoyed having good access to the lake.Little touches like the very generous welcome basket of supplies and beach flip-flops were appreciated and helpful.All-in-all, I don't know how the stay in this property could have been nicer.One note: The stairs down to the house are very sturdy and safe, but be aware this is not a property for mobility challenged individuals. Access to the property and the different floors of the house require the use of stairs.

Absolutely gorgeous lakeside home, in impeccable condition and beautifully decorated. Idyllic setting with open family space, kitchen, a lakeside lawn, and a dock with boat house all at lake level, and then bedrooms on two levels above. Private rooms for two couples, and 3-4 children can share a room, even if adults. We had 4 adult children (but one was male) and he felt like “odd man out” because he had to sleep on the couch. But everyone had a fantastic time and there is sooo much space to spread out. Also, two full baths and two half baths means you’re never far away from a bathroom! I’m not a morning person, and even I woke up at 5:30 am to catch the sunrise over Cayuga Lake. Breathtaking!

House was great! Better than pictures. Our hosts were available to answer all questions in a timely manner. Would definitely return.

We had an amazing family vacation at this beautiful lake home with amazing waterfront views. The home is beautiful, immaculate with tons of hangout places inside and out, and fully stocked with towels, bed linen, and kitchen items. We fully utilized everything with tons of cooking, dining and water sports like kayaking and paddle boarding. Wonderful time!

75 Maplewood has so much to offer; comfort, lake view and activity. We used the kayaks on property. Family get together around fire pit. Comfortable deck seating. The property interior has all the amenities; kitchen fully stocked, easy access to WiFi, Bluetooth and streaming services all within a quality decorative interior design and comfortable bedding. The host was terrific in offering information about Ithaca’s amenities with easy access from property. The best family gathering Ardy! Thank you!

This beautiful lakefront home is all that and a bag of chips. Spacious enough for 6 people to be very comfortable. And every detail has been thought out. Kitchen is very well appointed and no expense has been spared for all the accessories.Our family enjoyed morning coffee on the deck and nightly cocktails around the fire pit. Even in the chilly temps we were able to warm our hearts reminiscing about past family vacations. Hope to visit again and get to use the kayaks.

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.

Property was wonderful setting and very well equipped to support guest. Extremely clean, new vibe, beds and bedding extremely comfortable. Plenty of area to entertain. Host stayed in contact to answer any questions. Exceeded expectations.

We loved our stay! Everything was extremely clean and well-organized in the house, the kayaks were easy to use, the outside area was lovely and the first floor space was great for a larger family crew. Highly recommend.

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.

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!
