Perfect Thanksgiving get-away
This lovely lake home had absolutely everything our family of 4 needed for a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. In addition to spectacular lake views, the kitchen was fully stocked with every pot, pan, appliance, serving bowl, etc that we needed for preparing and serving the meal. The gas fireplace and large sofa in the great room made for cozy evenings. The location is ideal—close to Ithaca but also just far enough away to feel like a retreat. Ardys and Mark were such thoughtful hosts—every detail had been thought out, from leaving outdoor lights on for our nighttime arrival, to providing a welcome basket with dish soap, laundry detergent, toiletries, etc., to checking in every couple of days to see if we needed anything. Can’t wait to visit again soon!

Amazing Home
Simply an amazing property that exceeded our expectations. Location is unbelievable and the home itself is beautiful, clean and well appointed. Master bedroom provides incredible sunrise views overlooking the lake and an awesome master bathroom. Plenty of board games to keep the family busy along with kayaks and a paddle board to explore the lake. Fishing right from the backyard of the property was a bonus. Went on a number of day hikes to local trails and spent an afternoon visiting some of the nearby vineyards. Owners were top notch and extremely professional to deal with, not to mention very responsive. I highly recommend this property and would stay here again if ever back in the area.

Lake side Gem!
Beautiful setting, with a well appointed home in style, comfort and flow! With so many details were attended to, it made everyone in our group feel welcomed. - Beddings, kitchen equipment and essentials, laundry supplies, information about the house & on local options, and a welcome basket of items travelers may need. The view from every window, patio, deck is stunning! In such close proximity to the water, the upper floors can feel like the deck of a ship. Parking was easy for 3 cars, but... The drive down takes a steady hand, and the stairs are no joke- safe and manageable, but need attention, especially when there's a bit of frost or ice. Owners were readily available and accommodating. Enjoy!

Amazing house!
Ardys house was so nice! Everything was exactly as it is in the pictures. There are a bunch of stairs you need to go up and down to get to and from the house. You will see those in the pictures provided. We used the kayaks on the lake, which was awesome. We hung out on the porch and had amazing views of Cayuga Lake. The neighbor was quiet and private in November. Highly recommend this vrbo.

Wonderful stay
My family and I had an unforgettable stay at this beautiful lakeside home! We were extremely comfortable here and enjoyed the lovely decor and lakeside views. The owners made us feel very welcome - we appreciated the gift basket waiting for us and they were very accessible throughout our stay. We took advantage of the kayaks and paddle board not to mention lots of hiking and exploring nearby. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our trip! Thank you!

Perfect location
We recently stayed at this beautiful property - down to the smallest detail. We have been to Ithaca before but didn't stay as close. This is the perfect location, close to the town of Ithaca, Ithaca college, wineries, and right on the water. The owner was super responsive and went above and beyond to welcome us (gift basket with snacks, toiletries, laundry detergent, etc.). We would definitely stay here again!

Private, serene lakeside location with every amenity imaginable
This property was everything as described and more!! Leave all of your beach towels, life jackets, cooking utensils, and pillows behind. And you'll be grateful for the fully stocked house since the steps to the house are many, but once you are unpacked for the week you won't want to leave! Ardys was an incredibly attentive host who responded to every question and provided an exceptionally clean environment for our families. We plan to come back in the future if this gem isn't snapped up once more people discover it!!

Gorgeous Lakefront Home
We had a fabulous weekend in this beautiful well appointed home :) We were up in Ithaca for Cornell graduation weekend and wish we could have stayed longer! I have stayed in other VRBO homes and this home is my favorite! From the newly updated interior to the breathtaking lake views you are able to come in and just relax and enjoy lakefront living at its finest! Owners were extremely accommodating and the addition of games, kayaks, paddleboat and fire pit made this an unforgettable weekend! Thank you for sharing your home and putting so much thought into making it a home to relax and enjoy!!

What an oasis...a true getaway from it all! We have stayed at many rentals in Ithaca and we can say confidently that this home is head and shoulders above them all! Fully updated--clean and pristine! The owners are beyond helpful and their goal is to make the tenant happy. We were greeted with a generous basket of welcome goodies upon entry. It was so thoughtful! The house flows beautifully and the VIEW!!!! wow wow wow...my sister and i sat on the new outdoor furniture and had coffee in the morning...watching the sunrise was a life moment.
