Summary: This was a beautiful, very comfortable lake house. Lots of details, some I would not expect, were seen to like gates on the deck to contain dogs, a jug of water in the fridge, ice cubes made, WiFi, a tv and dvd player in both bedrooms and living room, lots of extra blankets. There were cushions for deck chairs, wood for the fire pit, kayaks, life jackets… it was a lovely location, too. Overall, a great place to be.

Summary: Beautiful home on Cayuga lake. This home has everything you need for a comfortable relaxing stay. Views from the decks are amazing, I spent mornings afternoons and evenings on the decks just relaxing watching the lake and listening to the waterfall right next to the home. Owner has 2 bird feeders on the deck that attracts so many different birds, great with your morning coffee. Property on lake level just as pretty. Fire pit with chairs, gazebo with table and chairs, chair swing, canoe (which my daughter and I used to go out on the lake fishing) and kayaks. Owner does forewarn about the amount of steps, there are a lot BUT this home and the level of relaxation you feel while staying here is well worth it.

Summary: Despite rainy weather for the first few days, the sun did eventually come out on day 3. The lake was beautiful (even in the rain). Location was close to town for shops and restaurants and nearby Wegmans and a Trader Joe’s. We made it to Taughannock Falls and that was beautiful! Winneries abound. Steps were many but owner clearly shows that in all of the pictures. Driveway is a challenge to exit bc the driveway is very steep but once you do it a few times you get the hang of it. Overall, 5 stars. Will definitely plan to stay here again!

Summary: The view and location of Robert's house is top notch. The easy access to the lake, and the outside living spaces are well kept, well thought out and absolutely relaxing. We used the double kayaks many times and it was the highlight for the kids. The house itself is cozy with all the essentials to make our stay comfortable. The furnishings and interior of the house are dated, but everything was functional and usable. I couldn't get the coffee machine to work, and Robert immediately sent over a brand new coffeemaker (Thank you!). The living spaces are more than adequate for a family of 4. We would highly recommend this lake house for a small family!
