About this property

Dash of Lake Life: Cayuga Lake

"Dash of Lake Life" is the perfect Cayuga Lakefront getaway! Day trips to Ithaca and Taughannock Falls State Park, the quaint town of Seneca Falls, and an abundance of Finger Lakes favorites are right at your fingertips. Adventures and fun are everywhere you look when staying here! Rent a limo, or take a self-guided wine and craft beer tour. Nearby restaurants like Wolffy’s Grill and Marina and O’Malley’s Cabin on the Lake offer lakeside dining and delicious local treats.

Entering the great room, the exquisite A-frame structure is decorated with picture windows allowing for you to enjoy lake views sunrise, to sunset. Entertaining friends and family alike is a breeze with this open floor plan! An open kitchen with contemporary white cabinetry and granite counter tops will make the chef of your group burst with happiness. A voluminous supply of cooking and eating ware is all you need to feel at home while making meals and memories with your favorite people. Don’t forget that Finger Lakes wine goes with everything!

Merging with the kitchen, you’ll find the dining and sitting areas – both large enough for your group of travelers to spread out and get comfortable. Bring your favorite board games, a favorite book or just enjoy catching up with one another all while taking in the views from outside. Completing the entry level, two of the four bedrooms can be found.

The remaining two bedrooms can be found – one up, and one down stairs. Each of the four bedrooms are decorated with comfort and simplicity in mind. You’ll quickly feel “home away from home” at "Dash of Lake Life".

Outside, a lakeside deck continues the feel of entertaining bliss! At the lakefront, whether you’re fishing the day away, sun bathing on the dock or just enjoying the view, "Dash of Lake Life" has something for you! A lake view offers beautiful sunsets each evening. A sunset accompanied with the lakeside firepit provide the perfect end of the day treat.

Hosmer Winery, Thirsty Owl, Sheldrake Point Winery, Lucas Vineyards and Myers Farm Distillers are each a short drive away and will have you sipping on a perfectly blended glass of Finger Lakes brew. Nearby restaurants like Wolffy’s Grill and Marina and O’Malley’s Cabin on the Lake offer lakeside dining and delicious local treats.

Heck yea I'd rent again

Lovely destination for a weekend away. While it was still "off-season" for the finger lakes, it was quiet, peaceful, and a beautiful place to spend the weekend. The house boasts great accommodations and a pool table that we didn't expect! While seemingly isolated, there's a full grocery store just in town, and there's even a pizza place that delivers.

Family Vacation on the Lake

The house was perfect for our family of 11. The house was even better than the write up. Rec room, projector room! Master bathroom that was like a spa. Many outdoor places to relax and enjoy the lake view. Huge deck with outdoor dining and chairs for relaxing.Campfire ring made for many smores and memories. Quiet neighborhood with friendly folks. I would highly recommend this property to families. Typical for Cayuga Lake homes, many steps to get to the shoreline.

Family Trip

This is a nice house in a great spot. It seems to be owned by an absentee owner who uses a management company to maintain it. When we arrived there was garbage and a broken chair in the yard at the fire pit and in the boathouse near the dock. I contacted the management company and they replied that they would send someone the next day. When the management rep came, I pointed out the condition of the yard and he said "I see what you mean". He got in his truck and left. I proceeded to pick up the garbage and broken chair and put it under the deck so I wouldn't have to look at it. I left the boathouse as is. In the future when looking at properties on VRBO which I have used many times, I will avoid listings that tack on a property manager fee on top of the fee that VRBO adds as a way to increase their revenue.
