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

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! ##### John B. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Geoffrey U. 19 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great lakefront cottage We rented the place for a mini reunion for 12 Cornell grads from the 90’sThe place is well equipped with plenty of bedrooms, a large deck and living space to accommodate everyone in the group. We enjoyed using the provided kayaks and the fire pit at night. The outdoor flat top grill was great for cooking meals for the group. Location 15 min away from Ithaca Commons and Cornell was ideal. I wouldn’t hesitate to rent the place again and is ideal for both adults and families. ##### Geoffrey U. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael M. 1 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Michael M. Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ann D. 1 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Ann D. Stayed 3 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott R. 26 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lakeside retreat. Had a perfect weekend.
