House was great

My stay was only for a few days, a long weekend with 10 other guys for a fishing trip. The house was more then I expected larger then the pictures let on. All the bedrooms are spacious and have great views. Caught some nice sized bass on the back dock. Would rent again.

Beautiful home on a lovely lake

We are a large family & were on vacation together for the first time. This rental was very comfortable with plenty of room for everyone. The garage area was an added bonus. We loved swimming & made use of the kayak. It was a wonderful vacation enjoyed by all. I would highly recommend this rental! The evening sky was spectacular.

Spacious and Comfortable

We had plenty of room here for 7 adults and 2 children. The large, carpeted living room was great for the children to play in and there is a door you can close on the ground floor to block access to the stairway. We appreciated the air conditioning and having one bedroom on the ground floor with the full bathroom next to it. When even more family came over, we were able to set up for dinner outside as there is so much outdoor furniture in the garage. We rented a boat from the near- by marina, which added to the fun. The kitchen is comfortable for cooking with plenty of counter space. We also appreciated the large refrigerator with ice maker. It was very nice that so many little things were provided, like dish soap, spare toothbrushes and so on. We enjoyed our week here very much in scenic Union Springs by beautiful Cayuga Lake.

Beautiful Birthday Celebration

My family stayed for a week to celebrate my mother's 80th birthday during the last week of July 2023. We had ample room for all of the families and the extra space in the garage was an added bonus. The beds were comfortable, the rooms are large and the kitchen had everything we could need. There was plenty of outdoor furniture and games and activities to keep everyone occupied. The level walk to the lake was a rare treat since so many lake properties are elevated. The launch was a nice surprise as we did a lot of kayaking and swimming. We have rented several times on Cayuga Lake and the water has never been so warm! We went on a few hikes and visited the State Parks nearby as well as the shops and restaurants in Aurora. It was a terrific week, thank you!

Fantastic to get-away from city.

Spent three nights at the Private Family Lake house on Cayuga Lake in finger lakes,over the graduation ceremony memorial long weekend. All in all a very good, older charming large home on a gentle sloping acreage on beautiful Cayga Lake. Spectacular sunsets, firepits and deck chairs. Quick and close to the town center and next to other spacious lots . No Modern rooms, slightly smallish bathrooms, decent kitchen equiped breakfast and bbq dinner Not profoundly outstanding but definitely a place I would recommend.

Comfortable, clean and everything you need

We rented the house for a bachelorette/ wedding party weekend. There were 10 of us and we all had plenty of space. Everyone said that their beds were good and everyone slept well. Kitchen has plenty of counter space to make meals. Lots of utensils, pots, pans and other kitchen items. The living room is very spacious and a big tv for movies. Garage has plenty of chairs, cornhole, another couch area with tv and lots of life vests. Listing mentions 2 kayaks but there was only one and it needs to be repaired. Overall, everyone had a great time and we had everything that we needed. Would recommend! 👍 👍

Family vacation

House was clean and bigger than the pictures show. Yard was nice size to play with the kids. Overall we liked our stay. We had a boat and the convenience of Frontenac boat launch being close by was nice. Property owner was very punctual in responding to my questions. The only negative I would say was I wish the property owner gave me an email prior to coming for check in instructions at least 24 hrs ahead of our arrival so we could of planned sooner but I know why he chose to wait until a few hours before we arrived. I just like to be a little more assured of things before I go somewhere to stay. Lots of chairs supplied so don’t bring any. Boat dock could use a little maintenance but very usable. Overall we would stay here again.

Great place for family gathering

We had a family gathering of 2 grandparents, 4 parents, and 4 kids ages 7-14. The house is surprisingly spacious inside - more so than it looks like from the outside. The house worked very well - multiple comfortable spaces inside people could gather, have work/quiet space, and eat. The bedrooms upstairs are great for sleeping - largely insulated from downstairs noise, and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking big family meals. The big lawn down to the water was great for games. The dock is a bit rickety but worked great for fishing off of. The rest of the waterfront probably needs some repair soon as it is falling/leaning away into the water. The small "beach" was kind of choked up with flotsam and plant growth, but that might be because it was still early season and they hadn't had a chance to clean it up yet - it was still fine for getting our kayaks and SUP in and out of the water. All in all, we had a fabulous time here, and would definitely return for another family reunion!

Very nice home and lakefront property on a peaceful, quiet lake. The house is much bigger than it looks online and outside. The lawn is huge and there's a great fire pit down by the water. I would stay here again!

Peaceful and spacious lake stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Just as advertised. Marina just around the corner. Spacious property so plenty of room and a nice big family room to gather. Two fire pits depending on mood for under the nice patio lights or closer to the lake. My kids had fun jumping off the dock.

Fabulous stay

We had a wonderful week at Patrick's property on Cayuga lake, the large lawn was perfect for the children staying with us. We had some questions before our stay and Patrick was lovely to communicate and very understanding when we had some car trouble on the last day, wouldn't hesitate to book again!

Loved the house!

We were immediately impressed with the cleanliness and the spaciousness of the house. It was comfortable for the two of us, our 5 kids and their significant others. The yard was extensive and big enough to play yard games, such as bocce ball. The garage was chock full of lawn furniture which was nice to have. We made plenty of use of the kayak. It was nice that 2 people could use it at once. The only downfall was the confusion with the lot line with the house that sits in front of the rental. Patrick was quick to call me and clear up the confusion, which was much appreciated. Also the condition of the "beach" front was disappointing - lots of sea weed and not fit to walk through. Luckily there was the ladder on the boat dock, which we used instead. But it would have been nice to be able to wade in. Overall, our family really enjoyed the house , the yard and the water. We would book this rental again. Nice location and nice wineries down the road, plus being so close to the marina was convenient as well. Thanks, Patrick!!
