Sunset Retreat
This beautiful cottage, on Cayuga Lake, was the perfect relaxing getaway we had hoped for. All the comforts of home were provided. The scenery is beautiful. We enjoyed sitting lakeside, either on the deck or by the fire pit. The well provisioned firewood stack was much appreciated! Sunset Retreat is in our plans for a turn visit.

Peaceful escape
We loved being right on the lake, it was magical. The dock and fire pit were our favorite places. It was a long drive in on a private road, so we mostly grouped our activities and went out and back once. That being said, the house was well equipped for making meals, and the bed was comfortable! The house has so many windows it was wonderful to see the lake everywhere you went!

Amazing - Can’t wait to come back!
We loved this adorable, clean and updated cottage directly on the lake. It lacked for nothing and truly had everything we needed. It was in a perfect location directly on the lake with a deck, seating area and a fire pit. The views both from inside the home and outside were amazing. Communication with the host was stellar - responded quickly and answered any and all questions I had. Location was ideal - close by to wineries, breweries and great hiking, but also secluded enough to really feel like a retreat. Loved the little village of Aurora, too. One of the best rentals we’ve ever stayed in and we can’t wait to return next year!
