Completely renovated from ground up in 2019/2020 with new master bath, bunk room, air conditioning, doors/windows, and shiplap walls.

Nestled on the south east side of Cayuga Lake, Peaceful Paradise sits just above lake level and features breathtaking views of the water and surrounding hills, from the splendid balcony and porch areas. Peaceful sunsets, but yet close to the vibe and activity of Ithaca.

Inside, the entry way to the right leads into the incredible great room. Featuring large windows facing the lake, the great room is ideal for entertaining guests of all ages, anytime of year. A well-appointed sitting area surrounds a gorgeous stone decorative fireplace and offers plenty of room to lounge comfortably, enjoying drinks before meals while taking in the spectacular lake view.

The open and bright kitchen features an island breakfast bar with seating and plenty of counter space for preparing and serving meals.

Walk out to the spacious wrap around balcony, with plenty of furniture for enjoying the views and al fresco dining.

Completing the entry level of recently remodeled Peaceful Paradise you'll find two of the four bedrooms and one full bath. Downstairs, the lower level boasts two additional bedrooms and the second luxurious full master bath.

Peaceful Paradise is midway between both Ithaca and Aurora making this the ideal location for each Cornell University, Ithaca or Wells College reunions, events, graduations or parent weekends. A quick ride to Treleavan wines, Ithaca Beer Co and Brightleaf Winery. Easy access to beautiful cycling routes and peaceful lake activities. A variety of shopping, fine dining and fun can be had regardless of whether you're traveling north to Aurora and stop in at MacKenzie Child's and Fargo Bar & Grill, or 1833 Kitchen & Bar. If the gorges of Ithaca are more your speed, travel south and hike Buttermilk Falls, shop along the Ithaca Commons, visit the acclaimed Ithaca Farmers Market or stop in for dinner at The Boatyard.

Lovely lake view with a full slate of amenities
Wonderful retreat on the shore of Lake Cayuga! Great porch with a gorgeous view and a large fire-pit for s'mores! Wish we'd had longer to make use of pingpong table, cornhole and dock/kayaks (though we were surprised by the strength of the the lake current!) The property is serene and peaceful -- lots of birdsong and deer-- just a bit remote from shopping (beyond a dollar store).

Wasn’t as clean as I would have expected, BBQ was disgusting one gas bottle was empty and the 2nd maybe a 1/3 full. Great location and view Need to be clear about parking being limited and difficult access down stairs to front door

Great Week
Our group (8 adults and 2 infants) stayed here for a week and it was wonderful. The house is large enough for everyone to spread out if they wanted to but we spent the majority of time on the deck. We spent mornings out there using the sectional and table that seats eight. When we had too much sun on the dock, we would come up for lunch. We ate dinner out there each night. The rooms had everything we needed and the bathrooms were clean. We brought way too much stuff because we hadn’t anticipated how well stocked the house would be. They have pots and pans and cutting boards and basic spices. We also saw there were garbage bags and dishwasher tabs. We appreciated that there was laundry available for use, although the laundry room does have a bit of dampness. We took it in stride because it’s a lake house after all. There wasn’t dampness anywhere else. We would for sure stay here again.

Exceeding your hopes
The pictures don't do this truly restful place justice. This home is comfortable from the moment you walk through the door. Close enough to Ithaca to enjoy restaurants and natural wonders while far enough to feel away from the hustle of daily life. Kudos to the owner and management team, the place is well appointed, well decorated and really has everything you need. For a family looking to relax - you've found it. The management team is supportive, friendly and professional. Really, you just can't beat the gracious size of the porch overlooking the lake - it was perfect.

Perfect!
Amazing: the property had all modern amenities, conveniences and was well equipped with blankets, heaters, great lighting and music. We appreciated the fully functional kitchen; we totally enjoyed everything from the beautiful decks, ping pong table, fire pit to the kayaks and paddle boards on the water front wharf. We look forward to returning.

Great home with Amazing Views
We celebrated Thanksgiving with friends and couldn't have been happier with the accommodations. Walking along the railroad tracks, sitting at the water's edge, and enjoying a campfire were just a few of the many ways we had fun with the kids. Enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening on the covered deck was something the adults looked forward to every day. The home's decor was lovely and there was plenty of room for everyone. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Anniversary Getaway
Rental process was smooth and easy. Property was as expected. Nice setting, cute, clean house with excellent views of the lake. Perfect size for our group. Two things that annoyed me however: 1) property manager said no fires nor fire pit yet clearly there was a fire pit and firewood on property which was recently used; we're country folk and like our fires by the lake. 2) the house next door was under construction the day we arrived and the house we stayed in was having lawn maintenance performed the first morning of our stay; so the first hours were very noisy. Otherwise place was great

We picked the right house and the right season
The house is newly renovated and wonderful. The interior is inviting and the water/railroad tracks view breathtaking. We had issues with water and property management sent someone out ASAP and the homeowners handled the situation very favorably. We hope to return.

Just Right!
Provides something to entertain everyone. Canoes, paddle boards table tennis . Dock for fishing. Awesome views. Peaceful with trees and squirrels. Geese, ducks and other waterfowl on the lake. It is a bit of a hike down to the lake shore. My only complaint is that water pressure was not adequate for a shower and any other water use at the same time. Overall it was beautiful! I hope to return someday. So appreciate that the owners of this Peaceful Paradise are gracious enough to share it! God Bless you!
