Fabulous rustic lake property on Cayuga Lake (circa 1890) only 2.5 miles from downtown Ithaca. 330 feet of frontage with full sun all day and awesome sunsets. Huge dock! Hot tub! Deep water! Incredible lawns and surprisingly private. Age requirement for guests (excluding kids) is 30+.

In case it is not clear in the booking process, our nightly rate is for 2 people and it is an additional $75 per night per person over 2 people, up to our maximum of 6 people.

Our lake househas 5 bedrooms:
Queen Master bedroom downstairs.
King Master bedroom upstairs.
2 Queen bedrooms upstairs.
1 Full size bedroom upstairs.

And we have 2.5 baths (one downstairs, one upstairs and 1/2 bath in third floor attic).

Our hot tub sits on the water's edge and our dock is HUGE, with a covered seating portion and water slide.

Ithaca is a wonderful small town in the heart of the Finger Lakes. Home to Cornell University, Ithaca College, many wineries and a rich culture, Ithaca is a great town to visit!

We have plenty of room for parking (another bonus)! Can fit 5 cars pretty easily. Public transportation does not make its way up the lake. But you an always walk down the railroad tracks 2 miles right into town. Or, you can paddle your way to the Ithaca Farmer's Market, to Stewart Park, Cass Park or Allan Treman State Park.

    The location was perfect - close to town AND with large lake frontage. The views from the living space and primary bedroom were amazing. It had all the amenities we needed. Would definitely stay again during any season.

    Zach was very friendly, showed us around his beautiful place and we had a great stay. The house and property are well maintained, and spacious. We were there in the middle of winter and even then it was a great place to stay - I can only imagine how awesome it'd be in the summer! Great stay all around.

    Lovely house and amazing outdoor space, loved the huge dock with seating, swings & hammocks; the porches, hot tub, availability of kayaks & fishing equipment. Sunset was indeed beautiful! Just wished there wasn’t traffic noise. Kitchen has everything we needed for cooking all of our meals which we like to do. Zach is a great communicator & glad he messaged before our stay to make sure we all understood how to enter the drive way; guests should heed his advice!

    We had a wonderful time at this house. It is rustic, so be prepared for creeky floors and bugs indoors. However, the lake was beautiful, and the house was extremely cozy. The driveway is definitely not for the faint of heart, and we were glad that the car rental company gave us a pick up truck. Can not comment on the kayaks, hot tub, or fishing rods, as the weather was not suitable for using them, but this is a property that we'd love to come back to if given the chance!

    What a magical property with the best host you could ask for! The house is gorgeous and comfortable and homey. Rustic yet modern. Our son was in heaven fishing off the expansive dock while we soaked in the hot tub and searched the shoreline for lake glass. Zach went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, and gave our son some great fishing tips. We cannot wait to come back!
