About this property

Welcome to your dream vacation home. This cottage, situated on the shores of Cayuga Lake, deep in the heart of the Finger Lakes Region is a modern take on the classic cottage. It is cozy yet airy, with a high, vaulted ceiling, a custom wood kitchen, a huge wrap around porch facing the lake. The master bedroom overlooks the lake and the gentle lapping of the waves will lull you to sleep. This is a truly exquisite property that offers a relaxed atmosphere while simultaneously providing an upscale, contemporary feel.
During your stay at Thomas Cottage, be sure to visit the myriad wineries along the Cayuga and Seneca Wine Trails. Visit quaint Trumansburg, NY and grab a cup of coffee at the local favorite, Gimme coffee. Visit the tallest waterfall in NY, Taughannock Falls, a mere 10 minute drive away. Venture a bit further south and find your way to artsy Ithaca, NY, home of Cornell University and Ithaca College. Enjoy the Ithaca Farmers market, the exciting restaurants and explore the Ithaca Commons. There is SO much to do and see in the Finger Lakes, you’ll be planning your next visit before you even leave.

Many steps above the usual

This cottage is extraordinary. Beautifully crafted, the contemporary structure is surrounded by woodland and perched on dramatic cliffs above the rocky shore. Besides being very well-equipped, it's rich in delightful details. We fell in love with the place despite foul weather every day of our getaway. Something to know: Recommended parking is above the cottage with access via an uneven stone stairway. Picturesque but a bit tricky, with no handrail.

Private, Peaceful Lakeside Retreat

This cozy lakeside retreat with many custom, craftsman-style touches, was the backdrop for our best memories this week. Whether we were inside or out, kayaking, reading, or dining lakeside, the peace and tranquility of this home was just what we needed. We can’t wait to go back! Although we have been to the Finger Lakes Region many times, this is the place we will remember most.

Lakeside retreat

Breathtaking setting, perfect for beautiful sunrises, relaxing and slowing down! Hannah was terrific with communication, answering all our questions in a timely manner. Not only was the property all she described, but the experience of being there was truly magical. Special touches (fresh flowers, mints, etc.) truly made us feel welcomed. My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary but very much look forward to returning with the kids. The outside lighting is spectacular. Everything we needed was on site.

Perfect Lake House Stay

Tens across the board. More stunning than in the photos. Bright, airy house on the cliff, with beautiful stairs/deck leading to boathouse and private piers right on the lake. Easy check in and out.
