About this property

25% OFF IN JULY Waterfront Farmhouse On Cayuga Lake - we had a late cancelation

We had a late cancellation for the 4th of July! It was a 2 week booking, and we do need to have the house rented. Take advantage of the opportunity to stay in the peak week for 2019 prices! Available July 2 to July 15th. The house is great for a couple or for a big family reunion! Please come enjoy!

This farmhouse situated right on Cayuga Lake, was built in 1826 at Kidders Landing. The home was renovated to provide modern comforts. The house has 200 ft of gently sloping waterfront lawn and a new 100' dock with a swim ladder and a large platform for fishing and jumping into the water.

The house sleeps 8-10 comfortably and can be adapted to house more. In addition to being located on the lake and in the heart of the Finger Lakes Wine Country, The Painted Porch Cayuga Lake Vacation Rental is also about 200 yards from a fun little log cabin lodge/restaurant/bar. So, while the house is fully equipped for dining at home, you can also make a last minute change of plans and go next door for a glass of wine and a nice dinner!

There are two bedrooms upstairs and two bedrooms downstairs. Two of the rooms have alcoves with additional bunks, making a multi-family stay more comfortable. There are ceiling fans in all of the bedrooms as well as additional window fans and window air conditioners in all 4 bedrooms. This spring, we are adding air conditioning to the kitchen, living room and dining room.

On the three acres, there are big trees and big lawns, perfect for bird watching, croquet and badminton!

Between the house and the lake is a small two lane road, which has few cars and serves primarily as a walking, jogging and biking trail. On the bright side, it is also maintained throughout the winter! We also provide little yellow "crossing markers" to create a safer environment for crossing, in the event a car goes by. In the winter, this road is maintained by the county.

The lawn slopes down to shale beach. The dock is new and goes 100' out into the lake. Mid-simmer, the water is over 6' deep before you get to the large platform at the end of the dock. We have a large patio area with dining and lots of seating. We also have a fire ring at the edge of the beach.

There is a biergarten outside on the patio off the kitchen. Bar tables and chairs. It is fun to watch for cool birds and the local white deer from there while dinner is being prepared! We have also added a patio on the south side of the house, for another shady option on late afternoon.

PLEASE ALSO NOTE: This simple farmhouse has NO TV but does have fast fiber-optic internet. You can have access to free wifi at O'Malley's also. Major sporting events are shown on the TV there. There are also 4-5 bars of phone service in the front of the house with ATT. Please also note. We have RING doorbells for security purposes; to protect the house and YOU, our guests. We also have a RING camera behind the house to monitor filling the bird feeders. We do not look at these unless our guests ask us to or if we are waiting for a package to be delivered. And we look when the house is not rented. We value YOUR PRIVACY.

A few more things: About half of our guests bring dogs. After each dog there is an extensive cleaning process. We do suggest (for the sake of cleanliness) that dogs don't go upstairs. If YOU bring a dog: The neighborhood is full of dog walkers. All of them are very respectful of the leash law in our area. They get really really frustrated if a dog is loose in our unfenced front yard and runs out to theirs. Not all of their dogs play well with others. :(

A beautiful stay with a couple minor hitches

We had a wonderful stay at The Painted Porch. It’s a lovely farmhouse just across the road from lake Cayuga and the views and property are beautiful. The house is comfortable and attractive and the porch is perfect for lake gazing from the rocking chairs or porch swing and from the living room sofa when the weather’s not good. We booked too late for our stay to be refundable and were surprised by some fees and house rules that were not listed before finalizing our reservation, particularly regarding dogs. That said, I don’t think it will be a problem anymore because Alison did not realize this and was going to remedy it right away. Alison was very easy and responsive to communicate with, which was a real plus. Wishing anyone who stays here a wonderful time. It really is a lovely house and location in one of the most beautiful places I know of.

Great home in fabulous location!

We booked this home over a year ago for commencement weekend at Ithaca College and could not have been happier! The home was lovingly curated and it fit together perfectly. From the beginning of the day where you could enjoy your coffee while seeing the sunrise on the eastern view porch over Lake Cayuga to the evening meals in the large dining room, it was an excellent experience. We loved the library, the games, and the multiple bird feeders. The host provided kayaks and standup paddle board for lake fun. Our party of 8 adults could get together in the main room or retreat to their large individual rooms, as needed. It is close enough to town (about a1/2 hour drive) to enjoy all that Ithaca has to offer, yet even closer to excellent vineyards, where, if you are as fortunate as our family, you could spend a perfect day! Alison was an excellent host—quick to communicate and ready to make your experience meet expectations!

Cute House on Cayuga

We had a really nice time! The dining room table was the only space that we could all sit together since the living room was small, and the kitchen space only had 4 chairs at a teeny table. We wish we had known it was a dog house; we wondered why we saw so much dog hair around...and were sneezing so much.....and then as we packed up, we noticed the most dog hair-covered dog bed we had ever seen right beneath our bed. YUCK!

We 7 old friends rendezvousing for a few days. The house worked well for cooking and hanging out together, and was a good launchpad for visiting and hiking in the Finger Lakes area. Despite the less than perfect weather, we managed to catch some nice moments on the dock.

Painted Porch Stay

The house was clean, well-equipped and in a fantastic location. You could eat a meal on the porch, just sit and take pictures of blue herons or belted kingfishers, or walk along the beautiful lake front drive. We were there for our 33rd anniversary, dined several nights in nearby Trumansburg and would strongly consider returning to the Painted Porch lake house!!

Fun Farm House

Fun week with family on Cayuga lake. Spacious lot and house. The 2 large bedrooms upstairs with the large bathroom between worked well for our 2 families with small children. Nice front porch overlooking the lake and big backyard. Loads of toys and games for kids. Short drives to hikes and other activities. Cooked at home except for pizza from Pat’s on our last night. Kitchen is spacious and well equipped. Large dining room table for 8-10 people. Nice area for sitting outside and also down by the dock. The lake is across a road which is not busy but requires all the usual precautions for kids and pets. Dock is well built sand wider than most with a swim ladder. Water quality is very good. Bottom is rocks/pebbles so water shoes are needed. Almost no zebra mussels but some small fragments of snail shells.Excellent fishing off the dock. ( small perch, sunfish, smallmouth, and gobies.) Worms were the best bait. Would return again in the future.

Amazing time at Painted Porch

We had an amazing time! The house had every amenity including a well stocked kitchen. Alison was attentive and answered all of our questions promptly. The inside is beautiful with antique hardwoods. The birds are fun to watch in the kitchen, and we spent hours at the big living room table playing cards, talking in the family room or out on the quaint porch overlooking the lake. We rented a boat and it was great; very little boat traffic. I swam each day. The seaweed is thick near the dock but if you swim out it is clear and the water seems clean. We are thinking of vacationing again as a family and if we do we will definitely go back to the farmhouse. (so glad no TV!)

Amazing family gathering!

Wonderful home in an extraordinary part of the world!! Very well maintained and well-equipped. Loved the front porch with the porch swing, looking out on the gorgeous lake and the walkers. Kids loved the paddle boards and kayaks. Took lovely walks and bike rides along the lakeside road - just a perfect spot to relax, get some exercise and even local wine! Somehow missed that there was no dishwasher but it wasn't an issue as everyone pitched in. Enjoyed communicating with Alison who was super helpful. Thank you for a vacation we'll remember for many years.

We had the best trip. The house was perfect for a girl's trip .. 6 of us. We loved our long mornings on the front porch sipping coffee, to making dinners together in the kitchen, to game nights. The house is so charming and conveniently located fo Ithaca, cool waterfalls, and wineries. Another bonus was being 2 houses down from a really cute restaurant, Omalleys, with a great menu. We definitely can't recommend staying at this house enough!

Stayed at the house for a long weekend to celebrate our son's graduation from Ithaca College with 9 family members. House was large enough to spread out and very well equipped to host a celebration in his honor. Easy access to the town via route 89. Beautiful views of the lake and the porch is great size to relax and watch the sunrise. Many winery's located close by. O'Malley's wasn't open for the season yet. We highly recommend and would definitely go back for a full week.
