About this property
Private Cayuga Lakefront Retreat | Dock/Wine Trail
- Situated between Cayuga and Seneca Lakes, just 25 miles north of Ithaca, this peaceful getaway in the quaint town of Ovid puts you right in the heart of New York’s wine country. Surrounded by the renowned Cayuga and Seneca Lake Wine Trails, the region is celebrated for its world-class Rieslings—be sure to bring a bottle home! Beyond the vineyards, you'll find a thriving mix of breweries, cideries, and distilleries. Local favorites include Liquid State Brewing for live music and craft beer, and Finger Lakes Cider House for hard cider and farm-fresh fare.
Located just off scenic Route 89 and right by Cayuga Lake, this home makes it easy to explore nearby towns like Ithaca, Trumansburg, and Seneca Falls. Whether you're visiting colleges, browsing local shops and markets, or dining lakeside, there’s something for everyone. Nature lovers will enjoy nearby hiking, biking, boating, and iconic destinations like Taughannock Falls—the tallest in the state. From laid-back lake days to wine-filled adventures, this is your ideal Finger Lakes escape.

Peaceful and relaxing
We absolutely loved our stay here. The house is beautiful with an amazing view to wake up to. Lots of privacy with Great Lake access. Tim was really fast getting back to us when we had questions. This was a great place with a wonderful host. Would recommend

Quiet Getaway
We live in Syracuse so rented this property for a quiet getaway. The property is perfectly secluded and surrounded by trees offering the privacy we were looking. The lake front was wonderful (although a lot of stairs). There was a giant dock that could fit all of us. We went fishing, swimming, kayaking, and just hung out by the beautiful waterfront. There was plenty of space in the home so that we could comfortable host some family and friends. The only drawbacks were the leak on the bathroom ceiling that was growing visible mold, and there must not be any insulation between upstairs and downstairs because anytime someone on the second floor bedrooms walked, it was SO loud and creaky and would wake us up downstairs in the master. Other than that it was well stocked, Private, and gave us a wonderful, quiet, and relaxing weekend away.
