Second year staying at this cabin!

We love this place. We spent our 5th anniversary here last year and loved it so much, we booked it for this year. Absolutely did not disappoint. We loved it and we even got to meet the host this time! She gave us some great recommendations on local places to visit. Our dog loves it, too. The place is so clean and is exactly the kind of cozy vibe we look for. We can’t wait for next year. Thank you!

Romulus NY - Cayuga Lake

We atayed here while in town for a retirement party in the area. The cabin seems like brand new. It was spotless and looked better in person then the photos online. The beds are firm/hard which worked for me but may not work for some. The owners are very responsive and easy to deal with. I would recommend it for a peaceful getaway. I would note that you do not have a view of the lake which was a disappointing surprise. Phtots online lead you to think there is a view.We also observed the price drop within a few hours of payment ans then again a day or two later which was surprising.

A great getaway for our anniversary!

We loved our stay! We celebrated our five year wedding anniversary here. The weather was quite rainy, so it was nice to be able to come back to our cabin to just cozy up. We were very comfortable, and our dog enjoyed the accommodations as well! We’ve already booked the cabin for our wedding anniversary next year. Thank you for the great experience and easy check-in/check-out procedures!

About the host

Hosted by Cheryl Santos

Host profile image
My husband Jim and I moved to Cayuga Lake in 2002 - he from Pine City NY and me from Hawaii. We both are naturally drawn to water, so Cayuga Lake was our chosen place. My husband has 3 grown children and he retired in 2012. Now our children are of the four-legged sort (we have friendly tale-wagging dogs and we invite you to bring your dogs along). We live directly across the street from the cabin and we are always available if you need anything. We take great pride in providing a clean, comfortable vacation property, and it is important to us that you have a wonderful vacation experience. We want to ensure that you’ll make memories here that will stay with you for a lifetime.

Why they chose this property

We chose Cayuga Lake for its natural beauty, the variety of things to see and do in close proximity, yet also the tranquility of country living. We envisioned building a cabin here so we could share this unique area with others, providing a comfortable retreat for our guests. We designed and built the cabin as a contemporary modern space yet with rustic charm.

What makes this property unique

Situated in a sunny field adjoining the woods, this log cabin is a tranquil retreat. It is very spacious for 2 – 6 people with an open floor plan, cathedral ceilings, and 2 private bedrooms. It is impeccably clean and is well equipped with most necessary items. A walking trail across the street gives you access to Cayuga Lake. The cabin is centrally located on the Cayuga Wine Trail. Nearby are hiking trails, biking paths, and quaint shops. The cabin rental costs less per person than many hotels, plus you have your own private space. The radiant floor heating warms the cabin to a cozy temperature on cool nights. It is also air conditioned for your comfort in summer months.
