Family long weekend

Beautiful house, spotlessly clean, right on the lake. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Fishing off the dock was great. Kitchen has just about every cooking tool that you could need. Couldn’t have wished for a better place to stay for our daughters graduation.

September weekend on the Lake

Great house and great location for an extended weekend Finger Lakes trip. We enjoyed visits to a winery, a cidery, gorges, waterfalls, and dinner in Geneva and Ithaca. And even in mid-September the weather was nice enough for a refreshing dip in the lake. Dave was very friendly and helpful and the house new and clean with a great layout.

Lakehouse

This is our 2nd straight summer staying for a week at this beautiful lakehouse. It’s such a great house. The owners have made some nice upgrades from last year including rock steps that now go the lake, And improvements to the hot tub. We had a lovely time, and hope to keep coming yearly.

This is a beautiful house on Lake Cayuga. The owner Dave was very helpful, showing us around and telling us about the property. Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Lots of space on the porches to relax.

Cayuga

The property was perfect for our family of 10. Everyone had their own space but perfect areas for all to gather. The weather was dicey in the beginning of the week but there is plenty to do in the area. Hiking, boating and wineries kept us busy. The end of the week we had perfect dock and fire pit time. We definitely want to come back!!

This is a great house on Cayuga Lake. Plenty of room for our party of 10 to spread out and also come together. The kids loved the paddle boards, and others enjoyed the kayaks. The owner was easy to contact and quick to respond.

Family trip to Finger Lakes

Dave's house is exactly as listed - plenty of space to spread out. Great kitchen / dining area and we loved the outdoor decks. Access to the lake was down 2 sets of stairs, but once at the the lake level, the boats, fire pit, dock and chairs were all in good shape. The house is very centrally located for exploring the beautiful Finger Lakes Region. We would rent again for sure!

Wonderful Cayuga lake house

The house was beautiful and had every amenity you could hope for: dishes, cutlery, lots of cooking utensils, paper products, towels, cleaning supplies, etc. There was a big porch on the main floor and two private porches on the second floor that had beautiful views of the lake. There were also kayaks to get out on the lake. The surrounding area had vineyards and cideries. We went to the Women’s history museum nearby and Taughannock Park was also nearby. Highly recommend this house.

Incredible house

We stayed at this beautiful lake house the weekend of our daughter’s Cornell graduation, May 2024. We were a party of 10 and the house was spacious and roomy. Location was perfect to Ithaca, within 15 to 20 minutes and to wineries toward Ovid, Romulus, and along Cayuga lake. The house was very clean and well stacked with all our kitchen needs. Comfortable beds and lots of quality linens and towels! We enjoyed the ping pong table in the basement area! Great WI-FI, fireplace, kayaks, paddle boards snd lots of balconies with amazing lake view. Dave was a wonderful host. Overall an excellent and wonderful stay!

Amazing place!

This was such a nice property with great bedroom space and absolutely amazing views of cayuga! It's a new place that is well suited to accommodate family gatherings. We stayed with our friends and their kids as well so we had 6 kids aged 2-8 and this was the best place we have ever stayed for sleeping arrangement and comfort. Dave was an amazing host that was very thoughtful and available with any questions we had! It's very secluded and private but almost equidistant if you're looking to go to Watkins Glen, Ithaca, Geneva, or the Seneca Lake wine trail. The kayaks and paddle board with the private dock available made the trip extra fun.

Beautiful house on the lake

My family loved staying at this house. All the rooms and bathrooms were very clean. The kitchen was also stocked with everything we needed and plenty of towels/cleaning supplies for the stay. Our favorite part was the location on the lake. The house has a dock, several kayaks for use, and a fire pit. We spent time out outside every day we stayed there. The view of the lake is beautiful all times of the day from the house. The only issue with this house is the spiders and bugs. With the house being right on the lake in the forest, the outdoor deck is filled with spiders, webs, and other bugs. They also eventually get inside so you have to be careful. Overall, this was a perfect house to stay in for a family trip.

October stay

Very well appointed. So many windows for wonderful views everywhere. Did not want for any kitchen items (including aluminum foil, plastic wrap, common spices, coffee kcups). Lots of towels and beach towels. Ping pong! Wine fridge! Washer/dryer. Regular coffee maker and Keurig. Dave very responsive and considerate. Stayed there mid October but would not hesitate to come back in summer. Finger Lakes wonderful place to visit.

Red Oak Respite

Beautiful home, open and spacious. Comfortable beds. Well stocked: owner provided toilet paper, paper towels, foil, plastic wrap, dish soap, beach towels, chairs by water, etc which were VERY helpful. Drinkable water from faucet. Wonderful climate options on each floor. Very little motor boat traffic so we were able to kayak safely. 2 docks which allowed us to sit on one and watch adult children do flips into the water off the other dock. We had a couple of fires in the fire pit by the water; wood provided by Dave. Super quiet and relaxing section of Cayuga. Neighbor next door has cameras that watch the long driveway so that creeped us out a little. We used the stairs most of the time which are on the opposite side of the property. The platform at the bottom of the stairs was slick when wet! There had been a bad storm a few days prior to our arrival so there was some damage by the waterfront that Dave was still trying to clean up. Lots to do nearby: hiking, wineries, Watkins Glenn, Ithaca, Corning, other Finger Lakes all within an hour of house. Would recommend this property! We had a great experience!!
