Excellent. Our active group of 9 adults made two meals in this lovely kitchen and were all comfortable and happy with our accommodations. Lovely home, nice neighborhood, easy to access. Just right!
Even though it was off season and we didn’t get to utilize the lake, the view alone was amazing! Property was clean and well stocked. If staying in the winter months, the only thing to be aware of is the area in the lower/basement (bedroom, bathroom, small kitchen/living area) doesn’t get as warm as the main level and upstairs. Our stay was very enjoyable.
My extended family enjoyed our week in this lovely home on Cayuga Lake. Comfortable beds and living room, shaded deck overlooking the lake. Our host Lisa sent over supplies to restock the first morning.

Great view of the lake. Quiet area and easy access to all attractions in the area.
Lisa was a wonderful host! Very clear and timely communication which was a joy.
Home is quite large and spacious which worked extremely well for our group. A very nice dock and lake to spend time in also. Highly recommend as a perfect spot for your trip to the finger lakes!
This is a great house for a family or friends get together. Great location, very convenient to shops and wineries for the occasional rainy afternoon, otherwise you're on the lake!
Very nice house. Equipped with everything we needed. Views were gorgeous.
Would love to stay there when it’s warm so we could go down and enjoy the water .
Definitely would go back and will pass this place on to everyone.
Very nice property. Place was clean on the inside. Good experience working with the owner. Everything as advertised.

Excellent accommodations
Group of 10 friends that get together a couple times per year for winery tours. This property is ideal for large families, and very well kept. The owners were very helpful and made certain our weekend was comfortable.
Lake view is amazing. Very nice property. The owners were super responsive when we texted. The room configurations really worked for our group. We’re a group that has teenagers, 40 something’s and grandparents, so we need to spread out and this house allowed us to do that.
The accommodations included everything we needed in the kitchen. There were more beds available than were evident on the website, so we didn’t have to double up the way we thought we would have to.
We had a very peaceful, comfortable stay with super views of the lake. Lisa was great to work with, and very responsive.

Family Reunion at Cayuga Lake
We had a family reunion for a week at Cayuga Lake. We visited a Science Museum in Ithaca, Water Park in Rochester, Lucas Vineyard, and Taughannock Falls. In the middle of the week, we rented a pontoon boat and cruised around the lake. Lots of fun!
This property is exactly as advertised and it is bigger than it looks in the listing! It was the perfect size for our group and we had the best weekend. It was super clean and everyone had a wonderful time. We have already talked about probably booking here again in the future. I definitely recommend it!

Very Dirty House
We couldn't have been more put off by how dirty the house was. We will be requesting our cleaning fee back because the house clearly hadn't been cleaned in many months. Spider webs (full of bugs) attached to the couches, lights, tables, doors. Dust covering surfaces. Sticky handles on the kitchen cupboards. Dishwasher did not function properly. Location was great, but I would not recommend this property unless you want to be cleaning upon arrival.
This home was absolutely perfect for our family getaway. The best part was having a dock with lake access so that we were able to rent a speedboat from a nearby rental company. We also enjoyed some fishing, and other water activities. The home does not have a full bathroom on the ground floor, it has a half bathroom. But that was not a problem for us. All rooms were very spacious, and the home was well furnished with everything we needed. I highly recommend this property if you are considering a finger lakes vacation.
This home had everything we needed. Having three bathrooms and five bedrooms allowed us to spread out. Having three levels allowed a quiet space for sleeping kids (or grandparents). The view and deck were so relaxing. The property was located on a deadend steet and very quiet. Three families (6 adults and 5 kids ages 6 and under) were very comfortable here.
Spent a long weekend with family as in the area for college graduation. So much space!! Love the large living room/kitchen space along with deck and wonderful lake views. The only issue we had was not having more days to enjoy. Thanks for a great weekend!

About the host
Hosted by Lisa Harrington
We purchased Shady Beach in the Fall of 2016 for our family of five to have a lakeside getaway to enjoy during each of the beautiful seasons on Cayuga Lake. Our hope is that by offering our special place to others, we'll be able to keep building and improving our lake house for all to relax and enjoy, while helping to support our dreams of retiring lakeside someday.
Why they chose this property
Cayuga Lake has always held a special place in our hearts as our family has spent many years enjoying the Finger Lakes. Cayuga's convenient location to our home base in Airport, NY, makes it ideal for us to retreat quickly to our oasis from our daily hectic life. The setting of the house and how it overlooks the lake, offers a serene atmosphere and breathtaking lake views. The house is right on West Lake Road, which is the route for the Cayuga Wine Trail and 25 wonderful wineries are situated within just a few miles of the house. The kids enjoy pumpkin chucking at Varick Winery in the fall, Winter is a wonderland of beauty and the fireplaces offer a cozy lakeside setting for holidays or just a weekend getaway. And the spring and summer are of course idea to enjoy swimming, boating, relaxing and finding new adventures, such as the area state parks and waterfall. So much to explore.
What makes this property unique
Gorgeous private yet convenient location and upscale house offers all the amenities for a getaway that you can't help but enjoy!
