About this property

Bring The Family To Our Corner Of The Finger Lakes


Description
Comfortable year round home located on Waynes Point in a quiet section of east shore of Cayuga Lake. This is pretty much what you would expect in a nice lakefront cottage.

Upstairs
Four bedrooms sleep eight upstairs with a full bath. The upstairs bathroom has a tub/shower combo. Three of the rooms have queen beds, the fourth has two singles. None of these rooms is large but all have ceiling fans, closets and dressers. You spend most of your time outdoors anyway and these rooms do the job. Central air/heat

DOWNSTAIRS
1) Leather couches, flat screen TV (cable and WiFi), Fireplace
2) A separate sitting area for reading, sleeping (large couch),
3) Large indoor porch with two couches (queen sleeper sofas) and a four seat table to enjoy the lake views.
4)There is a new full bath on the first floor off the porch with a stall shower .
Central air/heat.

KITCHEN
The kitchen has plenty of storage and all the usual appliances. There is enough counter space to make lunches and dinners comfortably. There is also a table in the kitchen which often gets used for food prep or as a buffet for family style dinners.
Kitchen has its own window A/C unit to keep the cooks cool.

Just outside the kitchen is a large dining room with a table that can seat 8-10. It can be used as the center for meals or for other family activities; board games, cards, crafts etc.

The center of activity outside is the raised deck off the porch. This is a large space with an eating area that seats 8 plus a sitting area with lounges and chairs that can seat another 6-8. On nice days, most meals happen on the deck. The large weeping willow tree and umbrellas keep things cool and you have a front row seat for lake activities or our beautiful sunsets.

Down below there is a large lakefront lawn area with a fire pit. The long seawall is a great spot for shallow water fishing, as is the boat dock. The dock has stair access to the swimming area which starts out shallow and very slowly deepens as you walk out. The water at the end of the 60' dock is deep enough to safely bring in a boat with an outboard motor or outdrive. A 4500lb boat hoist is on the end of the dock and is available for your boat. The hoist will not accommodate a poontoon boat. Water shoes are recommended for swimming.

There is a second building on the property; a three car garage. There is outside parking for six cars and enough space for a boat trailer. Inside the garage there is a new, half bath and a full laundry with a large capacity washer/dryer. These are available for use by occupants of the main cottage.
Other particulars are city water/sewer, large capacity hot water heater, and central air. Linens provided (sheets and towels). Checkin is 5pm, checkout is 10am. May be modified as needed to ensure proper cleaning.

Family visit to Cayuga Lake
We had a wonderful week at Joe and Madonna's cottage on their lake front property. The location was amazing and the fishing was great with easy lake access. Joe was very responsive and helpful during our stay. The wonderful owners were so friendly, respectful, and accessible. The property is very clean, well maintained and well equipped. Enjoyed our family time together; boating, kayaking, tubing with the grandchildren, and exploring the area. Thank you for having us.

Relaxing long weekend
We had a fantastic stay at Joe and Madonna’s place. The location of this place was absolutely amazing! The house had everything we needed and was the perfect place to rest and rejuvenate. The use of the dock for our boat and kayaks made this place exactly what we were looking for. Joe was very responsive and helpful during our stay. We are already talking about our trip for next year. Thanks again!

Amazing weekend on the lake
The property location is amazing, right on the water, the backyard has a convenient deck, but also a doc, and a gorgeous (gorgeous) willow tree that adds to the view. The rooms were small but comfortable, and there were plenty of towels for all of the guests both at home and on the lake. The house has multiple common areas that are great for groups to have different areas to come together but also be separate. The kitchen is also incredibly well equipped. The owners were nearby, incredibly friendly and easy to contact. Our dog also appreciated the weekend.

Family visit to Cayuga Lake
We stayed for a week and had a great time. The open layout of the home is very inviting with plenty of comfortable seating for everyone. Access to the Lake was great and the owner allowed us to use his boat hoist for our boat. We also enjoyed using the large deck overlooking the lake. The owners are very friendly and willing to help with any needs.

Lovely lake house
We loved our stay here - swimming, kayaking, fishing (although we weren't able to catch anything) or just sitting on the nice shaded deck and enjoying the lake views. When we weren't at the house we loved the hiking and wine tasting in the Finger Lakes area. The owners were friendly and accessible. We had a great time!

WONDERFUL!
BEAUTIFUL lakefront property with gorgeous views, easy level access to lake. Incredible sunsets from the expansive deck equipped with comfortable and spacious seating for our extended family gathering. House was immaculate with abundance of linens, towels and blankets. Sleeping for 10 was easy with 4 separate bedrooms and comfortable pull-out couches on the enclosed porch with lake views. It was great to have 3 kayaks available for use and with easy lake access. The owners were so friendly, respectful and helpful and my family had a wonderful time. A true gem! We would definitely stay again and again.

Fun & Relaxing Vacation
Beautiful property exactly as described. Very clean and well stocked with clean linens and all you could need to cook in the kitchen or on the grill. We rented a boat and were able to use the lift out front and it was very easy and convenient. Did some fishing and kayaking with the kayaks at the property, tubing and wineries. The dogs loved lounging on the fenced in deck, I have escape artist small dogs and was worried the would squeeze through the spindles, but when we got here we saw they couldn’t so that was great as well. Great stay, everyone is sad to leave and go back to reality.

Know what you’re getting into. Over attentive owner and shared laundry and bathroom.
The house was very clean, kitchen had plenty of pans and dishes that you would need. Lots of sheets, towels and blankets were available. Joe, the owner, met us upon our arrival. This is not a negative review by any means but I wish I had known that the washer and dryer and one of the bathrooms is in the owners home. It is described as being across the driveway which is true however it is part of the owners home. I did not enjoy sharing a washer dryer with the owners and having to remove their wet laundry in order to do my own. I did one load and didn’t want to deal with it anymore. Joe, the owner, is always available. He lives right behind the rental and keeps a good eye on your every move. Some folks may like this, we felt very uncomfortable like we were being watched every minute. We would not rent this house again but that is just us.

Cayuga Lake, sun and wine
We had a great week on Cayuga Lake. The weather was beautiful!! Joe and Madonna are great hosts. They met us when we arrived and were very helpful. We enjoyed the deck, kayaks and wineries. Our timing was good, as the wineries were just beginning to open. We felt very safe. Most people wore masks and we enjoyed most tastings outside. The indoor ones are set up for social distancing. We had six people during our stay and it worked out well. We enjoyed the fire pit a couple nights and sunsets were gorgeous!!!

Good Time Vacation.
The house was comfortable, not fussy. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, glasses, good knives. We cooked together in the kitchen, 3 women and occasionally a man or 2 also. Not a giant room but well laid out. The bedrooms were comfortable, good storage in the rooms. The bathrooms were stocked with soap & shampoos. The linens were plentiful and easily accessible. The laundry room was across the street in the garage. The machines were large enough for a big load and detergent was supplied. The owners were very friendly and accessible. It was a great house for our group. The outdoor deck in the back of the house was great. We ate all our dinners there. The dock at the lake had a hoist for the boat. Super week. Carol V.

About the host

Hosted by Joe Mosca

Host profile image
Our family has owned this cottage for over 30 years. We bought the cottage to have a place where our family could all be together in a fun setting. It has served us well; our kids always wanted to come and spend time with their grandparents rather than visit at their regular home. But now we are at the point in life where our parents are older and the grandchildren are grown but not yet with families of their own. They are off building their lives and the cottage is often empty. We have decided to rent out the cottage on a limited basis and hope other families can enjoy it as much as ours has over the years.

Why they chose this property

First, the location is great. The north east side of Cayuga has no large towns; its mostly dairy farms and houses along the lake shore. This area has never seen much development and as a result, it offers a decent amount of privacy. Other Finger Lakes can get quite busy (and more expensive) as they are closer to Rochester or Syracuse. Cayuga is the middle Lake and just far enough from the cities to keep from getting crowded. Having said that, our cottage is located close to wineries and the shopping outlets as well as the cities of Auburn and Seneca Falls. That puts you within reach of any stores you might need as well as decent restaurants, cinemas etc. Easy access off the NYS Thruway or Rt 5&20, forty five minutes from Ithaca and Syracuse; an hour from Rochester. The Del Lago Casino is about 20 minutes away as are the Waterloo Outlets.

Next, the house is very comfortable. It has nice furnishings, but we've always tried to keep the place such that kids could run around, lounge on the furniture, eat lunch on the deck etc. Sure, we want a damage deposit, but rest assured, your child won't be the first to sit on a couch with a damp bathing suit. Have fun, just keep it nice for the next family.

Finally, the place is very relaxing. I don't know if its the fresh air, the water activities or drinks on the deck at sunset, but time just seems to slow down here. Plan on surprising yourself by taking an afternoon nap once you arrive. It just seems to happen; probably part of the process of slowing down. Many of our guests for the weekend go back to city life feeling they've been gone for a full week.

What makes this property unique

Anyway, the place works for a few couples looking for a break, wine tours, reunions, or especially families looking for an old style summer getaway with the kids. Its a terrific place for family vacations with the grandparents at a reasonable price. It will take you back to the type of vacation you enjoyed when you were young. A great place to get the kids off their phones for a week.
