Remodeled Cayuga Lake Cottage - nice yard & waterfront, near Treleaven winery

Located on a quiet side road 30 min from Ithaca and 5 min from Treleaven Winery, our four season lakehouse is ideal for family time at the lake or a romantic getaway. The house is comfortable and thoughtfully furnished. With a sunny flat yard, hot tub, deck, new lakeside shack, kayaks, long dock, shady grass patio by the water, fire pit and rec room, there are lots of spaces to spread out. We face the afternoon sun and sunsets, and have deep, clear water. Sit by the lake and feel your blood pressure drop! New pictures coming in May...

Our cottage was built in 1951 and is 1100 square feet. We bought it in 2020 and spent over a year and a half remodeling every room, converting the wood floor garage into a recreation room, and building a new lakeside shack by the shore. We've tried for the "looks like its always been there" design approach and used sustainable materials and energy options.

The living room looks out to the lake with a large window and is open the kitchen. It has ductless heat pump/air conditioning and a pellet stove. The kitchen is fully supplied, including a dishwasher. Next to the living room is a dining area and den/TV room, which has a new high quality queen size sleeper sofa and curtains to create privacy. The main bedroom has a new queen size bed and a large window facing the lake, and the second bedroom has two twin size beds with new mattresses. The bathroom has a shower/tub combination and there is a washer and dryer. We have drinkable filtered well water.

In the back yard we have a hot tub and a new deck with a table, chairs and gas grill. The flat yard is a nice place for yard games and we have a fire pit with supplied wood. There are about twenty steps to reach the shoreline area, which is very few compared with most Cayuga lake properties.

The converted recreation room has a ping pong table, couch and chair, "vintage" boombox, and board games.

At the shore there is a nice shady area in the summer for sitting and the new shack with a mini fridge, cozy/romantic lighting, couch and table. The dock extends out to a deep section of the lake and is wonderful for jumping into the water. We have kayaks, paddle boards and life vests for guests to use. (Not available late Nov. through April for cold water safety)
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cottage, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as a spa tub or take in the view from a garden. Additional features at this cottage include an arcade/game room and gas grills.
Guests will find features like onsite parking.

Short trip out of Rochester
My partner and I decided to take a little trip out of the city and stayed at this gem of a cottage. The views from the property were absolutely breath-taking and the residence itself was very comfortable and clean. Also was conveniently located near a few wineries and nice places to hike. 10/10 would reconnect to anyone looking for a place to stay!

Perfect way to celebrate US
This cottage is absolutely amazing. Clean, cute, has all that you need. The outdoor area is just as amazing. The pictures don't do this place justice. We came from a Wed-Sunday to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary and we did just that. If you are looking to unwind, be one with nature, and love wine, you will love this place. We plan on being back. Thank you Adam for being a wonderful host.

Great stay on Cayuga Lake
We really enjoyed staying at this cottage! It is apparent that Adam has taken a lot of care in renovating the cottage with quality craftsmanship, materials and appliances, while still retaining the charm of this property. We liked the new kayaks and paddleboards. We spent time relaxing in the small lake house on the shores of the lake. The kids liked having ping pong tournaments each night. I would recommend this cottage -- it is a great lake experience!

Beautiful Reset, So relaxing
Everything was perfectly set up. The Lake house was clean,charming and well equipped for our stay. It was so relaxing, sunsets incredible, night sounds put us to sleep every night and the lake was so soft and inviting. We visited the Aurora Inn for dinner, it was wonderful as always! Treleaven Winery was so close… beautiful venue, good times! Aurora Shoe Company not far from the lake house was a great place to pick up some of their awesome shoes too! We look forward to our next stay♥️

My sisters and I were looking for a lake rental, with lake views and a dock, this rental met our expatiations and more. The rental also came with paddleboards and Kayaks, which we enjoyed on the lake. We had a wonderful weekend exploring the local wineries by boat, (highly recommend exploring by boat)and just relaxing. The accommodations were clean, comfortable and we felt right at home. Would definitely come here again.

A little oasis on the lake
Check in was easy and the cottage was cool and spotless on our arrival. The gardens and path to the lake are beautiful and the kayaks and paddle boards were a huge hit with our teens. The sunset with a glass of wine on the dock or the hot tub are the perfect place to relax after exploring the local area. The cottage has pretty much all you could ever need and we ate at home on the deck most days. We enjoyed hiking and swimming in the waterfall at Robert Treman state park and a great trip to the Corning Museum of Glass and the girls enjoyed the glass blowing class there too. Overall a great stay and can’t wait to return- thank you Adam!

Perfect Cottage, perfect location
This property has everything you need to be comfortable and have a wonderful stay! Very relaxing, from the hot tub to the ping pong table and everything in between. Would love to come back when the weather is a bit warmer and have some more time near the lake, it is beautiful. Couldn't have asked for a better weekend at the cottage, very conveniently located to nice wineries and great hiking. Excellent communication from the host as well!

Exceeds Expectations
Wonderful home on Cayuga Lake. The views from the main bedroom, and both living areas are extraordinary. Many thoughtful touches such as paper products and soap provided, along with a selection of games and books. While our weather was cooler, and we did not get in the water, we still spent hours on the dock, taking in the stunning view, especially at sunset. The house is even more spacious than it appears in photos, and everything was clean and comfortable. There are wineries and a brewery just a few minutes away. We had a great week and look forward to returning.

Perfect Girl's Weekend
Stayed here with my mom and sister. It was clean, cute, comfy and a great place to chill with a breathtaking view of the lake. Not as steep of a walk to the water as many other rentals on the lake and not a ton of stairs either. It was chilly when we were there but the mini split and pellet stove kept us super cozy. The hot tub was great! Would love to come back and bring my kids sometime. One of the best rentals I have stayed at. A few restaurants, and wineries a short drive away but remote enough to be super quiet. A really special place!

Wonderful Couples’ Getaway
Property is super cute, cozy, and off the beaten path—perfect for a getaway from the stress of everyday life. Although it was too cold for us to enjoy water activities, and rain prevented the sunset views we were hoping for, this place has everything you could want in a lakefront stay. The owner is super responsive too.

Fantastic Winter Weekend on the Lake
My partner and I met up with my best friend for a long weekend in the Finger Lakes, and we had a wonderful stay at the Cabin. Clean, cozy, and updated, we had everything that we could want. Treleaven winery is minutes away and several more are close by. Adam was an excellent host, and made sure to alert us about plunging temperatures and advice on how to keep the cabin heated throughout our stay. He also had great recommendations for wineroes, breweries, and activities in the area. The lake shack and hot tub allowed us to enjoy the outdoors even in January. We hughly recommend this property and look forward to returning in the warmer months.

Really beautiful, clean cottage for a peaceful getaway, with a breathtaking view. Unfortunately, due to instances beyond anyone's control, we had to leave after one night. Adam, the property manage was AMAZING in the situation, and honestly throughout the whole booking expereince, leading up to check in, and during our stay. He called, texted, messaged and was so accomodating and friendly. We were sad we had to leave, but I would recommend the property to others.
