The space
Beautiful three bedroom single family home located in the Town of Ithaca with amazing lake views. We are only 1.5 miles from downtown Ithaca, but it is a world apart. Private lot with deck, dock, gas BBQ, lakeside fire pit, kayaks, canoes and life jackets.

The kitchen has sliding glass doors with easy access to our lakeside exterior dining table. Hardwood floors, granite countertops, pendant lights, gas stove, dishwasher, garbage disposal, side by side fridge, eat-in table with seating for six.

Amazing views from almost every room, including 8 windows in the living room, 3 in the master bedroom, 3 windows and a three paneled sliding glass door in the kitchen and a 6 bay window and large picture windows in the downstairs bedroom.

Kitchen cooking items (pots, pans, dishes), sheets and sheets included. The house is on municipal water (not lake water) so you do not need to bring drinking water.

The west shore of Cayuga lake is steep and so is our property. The driveway is steep with upper and lower parking. There are 28 stairs from upper parking and 35 steps from lower parking to the house. From the house there are stairs to the lake (35) but the view is spectacular and the local ideal.

Please look at the pictures for full understanding of the steps required to reach the house from the upper and lower parking areas and to get to the waterfront.

Our house uses eco-friendly electricity powered by Solar Farms New York.

Bedrooms: Master w/ fantastic views of Cornell and King Bed. Bay Window Room with Fantastic views of the lake and Queen Bed. Yellow room with Skylight and Twin Beds.

New for 2024: Master bedroom has attached bathroom. The second bathroom is located downstairs near the blue bedroom and the kitchen.

Winter guests: We deliver property with shoveled steps. Thereafter tenants are responsible for snow removal. Guests may not be able to access the lower parking area, so all tenants must be able bodied and able to walk stairs easily.

Wifi is upgraded to Spectrum Ultra which has 400 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload speed.

We rent only Saturday-Saturday in summer.

Please note: Prior to renting, all adult guests must sign a written lease agreement.
