*OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:

The Finger Lakes region is beautiful, however, there are environmental considerations:

1. The shoreline and lake floor is rocky/slippery. We recommend bringing/wearing water shoes for to avoid cuts to feet and/or falling.

2. Always check for algae blooms prior to entering the lake water.

3. Always check for ticks.

*Visit The Spa at the Inns of Aurora

Fall by the lake and vineyards

We had a wonderful long Columbus Day weekend ! The location of this small lake house is awesome, views are breathtaking! We enjoyed a beautiful sunset and we set by a fire on the small beach under stars! The house is not big but very cozy and friendly. Our hosts were great very easy to communicate with. Definitely recommend!

Quiet and cozy

Cozy two bedroom with loft as shown in pictures. Nice shale beach area and dock were great on good weather days. Spacious porch was the perfect space for crafting on rainy days. Walking distance to state park and short drive to wineries and village. We had a relaxing, lovely week and would love to stay there again.

Perfect place on Cayuga

My family and I enjoyed a week here. The cottage had everything we needed. The access to the lake was great. It was nice to have a little beach area with a fire pit. The boat lift was an added bonus so we could keep our boat in all week. The views were amazing. Nice and peaceful!

Love Cayuga lake

Enjoyed our stay, cottage was as shown in photo’s. Good size yard and plenty of parking for vehicles and boat trailer. Very happy to have use of the boat lift. The screened porch was great, we spent most of our time there. Will plan on returning next year !!

Quaint cottage on the lake

The property was perfect for our group of 8, including 4 adults and 4 kids. The location was quiet and perfectly situated to allow area for indoor and outdoor games, as well as plenty of fishing, swimming and kayaking on the lake. Campfires by the lake, which also allowed you to watch gorgeous sunsets. Many family memories created and hope to return again next summer! The host was very responsive to all of my questions and a delight to correspond with!

My wife and I stayed 4 days at this wonderful lake house for a fishing trip. Elizabeth was great to communicate about every detail we had questions about. The house was very clean and well stocked. The views were awesome from the front deck overlooking the lake.

Girls getaway weekend

We had a wonderful time at this little gem , which is located right on the lake. The owners were quick to respond to our questions and when we had a problem! Every thing you need is provided in the house . There’s also games & cards & a ping pong table , which it was a little too chilly for us to play this time around. We were the first ones of the season to occupy the lake house & loved it!! Elizabeth & Jeff are great hosts!
