Lake House for a wedding weekend

We had a wedding nearby and this lake house accommodated 9 of our family so we could be nearby for all of the events. We thoroughly enjoyed the lake with swimming and kayaking and the views were beautiful. The house had plenty of room and a large stocked kitchen. Holly was quick to reply to messages and accommodating. Thank you!

The perfect getaway!

Holly, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us! Your family was SO kind and helpful, and always there to answer all of our questions. We were so comfortable during our stay and enjoyed exploring the area, but most of all, thoroughly enjoyed your gorgeous and relaxing property! We were all in awe of the lakeside view… we didn’t want to leave! Thank you again, and we hope to come back again in the near future! :)

Great place for family fun

We were able to enjoy all of the water sports that our family wanted, and fishing too. Great quite family spot with quiet evenings sharing around a fire. Close enough to Ithica to take advantage of rainy weather days.

Best Lake House

This lake house suits our family perfectly. We like the great kitchen which is fully supplied, the 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, the big dock for fishing and tie up for our 2 jet skis and the nice campfire area. We appreciate the owners allowing us to unload our cars by using their driveway to get closer to the rental house. We found that this is the best house to rent on Cayuga Lake!

Wine country vacation

We had a wonderful time staying with family in this lake house. We spent our time on the dock, floating in the lake and kayaking. Even with all of this, we still had time to hit the wine trails, discover great places to eat and enjoy great music at the Cider House. The owners were very pleasant and eager to answer all of our questions.

Fantastic location right on the lake!

This VRBO rental was one of our best yet. Even though we were only there for a few hour each day because of wedding plans, we fully enjoyed the location and tranquility of the lake. The house was huge! While my wife and I stayed in the first floor bedroom with our own bathroom, there were four additional bedrooms as well as two additional bathrooms upstairs. While the long dirt road from the main road to the parking spot at the top of the long stair case down to the house was challenging without a high clearance, it was all part of the charm. Though only a short stay, we truly felt we were on vacation. Highly recommend this VRBO.

Wonderful family get away

Holly – thank you so much for sharing your wonderful lakefront home with our family! We had a spectacular time. The large dock was literally always occupied either by someone reading a book, fishing, sunbathing, or sitting with a glass of wine enjoying the view! The boat lift worked great – renting a boat was such a bonus. The water was warm for waterskiing and tubing. Everything about the house itself was perfect – clean, well appointed, beyond fully stocked – down to parchment paper to bake our cookies!! With 4 of the upstairs bedrooms facing the lake with a balcony deck, everyone was decidedly pleased with the arrangement. The firepit area was well supplied with chairs. The kayaks and canoe were fun to take out as well. The wineries/breweries in the area were great. Watkins Glen & Taughannock Falls hikes were among the highlights of the week. Muranda Cheese Company, Finger Lakes Cider House were memorable outings. There was a cute farm stand down the road which kept us well supplied with corn & blueberries. Overall, great family trip. We all hope to be back next year. Holly was a great hostess. She answered all questions and was very responsive to a midweek issue that arose. Overall, I would recommend this rental to anyone who wants to fully enjoy the Cayuga Lake experience!!

Love this house!

This is our 3rd year renting this house. We love the location of being right on the water. The grand kids love fishing off the dock and swimming in the lake. We take 2 jet skis with us and use them daily. We like that the marina for gas is right across the lake. The house is a perfect size for 6 adults and 5 children. The king beds are comfortable and the recently updated bathrooms were very nice. The kitchen has everything you need to cook meals and the eating table has a great view of the lake. We love to eat smores around the campfire and the kids like to skip stones on the shoreline. We have already reserved this great house for next summer.

Bedrooms and bathrooms were terrific - even nicer than the pictures !, bathrooms had clearly been renovated and were great for our large crowd of 8. Kitchen was stocked with every type of cooking need ( and we did a lot), and beautiful like setting - seen from every window - was stunning and tranquil. We had a terrific time!,

Clean and spacious with an amazing view.

Had a great weekend here with 9 of my friends. We had a couples getaway for the weekend and enjoyed the wineries and staying in the house at night playing board games. Overall it was an excellent trip and I recommend this booking to anyone. The only problem is that the house has no direct access and it’s about 70 steps down the bank to get to it. Was a little tricky with all of our luggage.

A wonderful retreat

Sorry for the late reply -- it has been a horrifically busy Fall! My lab group once again had a wonderful time. About half the group had not stayed in the house before, and all fell in love with the beauty of the place. We had a great time talking about research projects, and also kicking back and having fun on the lake. best, Andy PS - The toilet in the downstairs bathroom did back up, and we went at it with a plunger, but I don't think we fully resolved the problem. I apologize if this problem persisted to the next renter -- I should have left a note.... At least we remembered in time that waste and recycling gets taken up to the cans at the highway.

Property was the perfect size for our group and was close to the functions we were attending.

About the host

Hosted by Holly Geary

Host profile image
This is our family cottage. My sister and I manage this property for the family. We have been renting it for the last two years when the family is not using it. My husband and I have a cottage next door.

Why they chose this property

We have been on Holton Beach for the last 50 years. We love the lake because we sail, kayak and canoe. The lake is generally quiet (not alot of motor boat traffic)

What makes this property unique

Ithaca and the parks are 15-20 minutes from our cottage. There are many wineries, distilleries and cider mills in the areas. At the top of our road is the Cayuga Creamery which makes the best homemade ice cream in New York State.
