Rustic-chic cottage with fantastic lake access, 15 minutes to Ithaca

Beloved cabin-coverted-to-cottage perfectly set up for large groups with incomparable access to the lake.

The upstairs of the cottage has two bedrooms (double and single over double bunk bed), a full bathroom, a couch (the best nap spot ever) and futon, and wonderful lake views from its airy and bright open space. The downstairs has a more cabin feel with four bedrooms (queen, double, twin, and single over double bunk bed), kitchen, dining, sitting and living area with stone fireplace, along with a powder room, separate shower, and laundry room.

There is a porch perfect for buffet and drinks setup, a large deck for outdoor eating and enjoying the lake views, and a fire pit on the beach.

The cottage has excellent access to nearby amenities, including the Black Diamond Trail (1 mile), Taughannock State Park (2.5 miles), Cass Park (6 miles), the Boatyard Grille and downtown Ithaca (7 miles), Cornell University (9 miles) and Ithaca College (9 miles).

We have been on VRBO for a couple of seasons now for May-June rentals. We don’t have rental availability during the summer. Come enjoy our favorite spot and reach out with any questions!

The location was beautiful right on the water. Plenty of rooms for people to sleep. The firewood was great to have there ready to go as we did a bonfire every night. Would highly recommend!

Great place on the lake!
We enjoyed the lake house! Bit of a quirky layout but we are most of our meals on the deck which was wonderful.

Perfect stay
Everything was perfect from checking in, communication with Hannah, ample amount of space to hang out and sleep, along with the amazing backyard on Lake Cayuga. I came here for my graduation from Cornell and wanted a lakehouse big enough for my family (~10), and Hannah's house afforded us the perfect weekend. We grilled, had smores from the fire pit, kayaked, and even docked our pontoon rental on the dock. Looking forward to returning here on my next visit to Ithaca!

Well equipped home on beautiful Lake Cayuga near Ithaca.
We enjoyed the kayaks, the paddleboat, the fire pit, the grill, and the beautiful reflections of both dawn and sunset on the peaceful lake. The house accommodated our six adults and three children. Very homey and well equipped with supplies for needs and fun. Limited bathrooms, but they worked out.
