Lovely week on the lake
The house was in a prime location - right on the lake! It was well equipped with all of the items we needed. We love to cook and did so every day. Everything was well thought out with the rental to make it as enjoyable as possible. The two story sunporch was amazing and when we were indoors that's where we were. Thanks, Janice for sharing your little puece of heaven with us.

Perfect place!
I loved this little cottage! We were celebrating my daughters wedding this weekend at Cayuga lake state park which was a short distance away and this cottage was the perfect size. Being the mother of the bride,I loved the little apartment across the road,was nice and quiet and cute. The porch was a great place to sit at night and listen to the waves. Nicely stocked with everything we needed. Thanks for sharing youre space with us,look forward to staying here again. Sandy Gorall

Annual family vacation
This had everything we were looking for: Easy access to the lake, no close neighbors (very quiet), plenty of small group sitting areas inside and out. Owner provided clear instructions for using everything on the property and kept in touch during our stay. The kitchen and bathrooms were amazingly well stocked. From boats and games (inside and out) to easy access to Cayuga Lake attractions, we couldn't have asked for more.

Pros and cons
Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home Some Pros: The lake and views are breathtaking Kayaks and paddle boards and great deck to enjoy the lake. Wonderful sunroom and heater was a nice touch. Allows dogs!!! Fully stocked kitchen 2 half baths one full bath Fenced in area Some cons: It's very much a home and you feel like you are staying in someones home. The house has Musty, camp smell. You have to park across the street. the street is high speed very nerve-racking up crossing the street with kids and dogs The pictures were not accurate or Up to date. Looked nicer in the photos. Kids were looking forward to projection and movie night ( one of our night was raining) Popcorn machine looked gross we didn't use could not find projection as shown in photos( sharing so owner is aware) The welcome basket was dingey used cups with a bottle of wine and a wrinkled bottoms of a purse pack of almonds ( it was comical) im mentioning this because I don't believe the owner of the camp put this together and should be aware. The guest house is a garage and very much looks and feels like a garage. Very disappointed Overall my family enjoyed the time away, I understand Finger Lakes are expensive but I feel like I paid for the view and outside area not the house.

Cozy lakeside cottage
We had a wonderful time at the cottage, celebrating a 50th birthday. The house itself feels like a home. Everything is comfortable and feels like real people exist in the space - unlike a cold condo or hotel. Every amenity is provided and the extra personal touches really made us feel welcome. Location is fantastic. The dock, beach area, and screened porch allow enjoyment of the lake whether you want to be in the water or relax on dry land. Janice is a fabulous host & made sure everything was ready for our arrival. Communication was easy. The info kit covered so many great recommendations for indoor and outdoor fun nearby. I'd absolutely come back to this cottage again. It really feels like home from the first moment you walk through the door.

Ladies wine tasting weekend
wonderful getaway on the lake! the screened in porch is EVERYTHING. 3 comfortable bedrooms in the main cottage, one with a half bath en suite, plus a full bath and another half bath in the main cottage. we put an air bed in the living room (however, no AC in the living room, just window units in the bedrooms). the guest cottage has a full bath, a comfortable bed and a futon, and paintings of Eisenhower everywhere 😂 we loved this place, and Janice was wonderful and so helpful, offering advice to help plan our wine tasting itinerary. Highly recommend!

Great spot right on the water!
Janice has a lovely place and the house is full of a lot of ambiance and fun things. Our extended family and three dogs had a great time! Lots to do and see in that area, plus just canoeing around and playing corn hole. The only thing I'd mention is that the road separates the main house and the Eisenhower cottage and it has a lot of fast moving traffic on it. Overall we loved it and will return.

extremely close to main highway.
Cottage was nice and we very much enjoyed the enclosed porches. The cement dock is nice, however, we were disappointed that we were unable to dock our boat there. I wish we had known how close to the highway the cottage was, approximately 10 feet from a road that is traveled at high rate of speed in that area. Fortunately, we were able to keep our dogs out of the road for the most part until the last night we were there when they managed to bolt out the door when we were coming home and ran straight into the highway. Thank the Lord that nothing was coming and we were able to safely get them back into the house. Janice is an awesome host, and the welcome gifts and parting gifts for appreciate it. Thank you for a enjoyable week Janice.

Relaxing and fun get away!
The cottage is close to the water which made it easy to cast a line out for fishing and sitting on the screened in porch listening to the lake. It was very relaxing. Fun times on the kayak and paddle boat which you can also fish from 🎣🙂. Janice is very responsive and her cottage is wonderful but that screened in porch is awesome!!! A lot of wineries are close too! The guest house is adorable. I would recommend staying here. Thanks Janice!

Awesome lakefront home!
We loved staying at this home. It was just about perfect for our needs ... it's dog-friendly, kid-friendly (two small but nearly-identical sized bedrooms for our girls worked out perfectly), and friend-friendly with the separate guest house across the street. Janice was an absolute pleasure to work with. She replied quickly and accurately to any questions we had, and the nice touches like treats and toys for the kids, dog, and grown-ups were all greatly appreciated! This is one of the better vacation rentals we've seen in terms of amenities ... plenty of dishes, plates, shampoo & conditioner, towels, boats, fishing supplies, and lots more. The layout worked well for our group, and the two-level sunroom is amazing. Just a few (very) minor comments for awareness for future renters ... - The photos show a swing set in the yard, but there is no swing set. This was a bit of a disappointment for our girls as this was a strong selling point for this home. But there is a nice playground a few minutes drive down the street. - The guest house kitchenette is functional, but our friends had to stop by several times for things that could easily have been included like silverware. - As other reviewers have mentioned, the parking & guest home are separated from the main home by a road. It's not particularly busy, but the cars drive FAST. Just be aware if you have small kids or dogs! Overall, we loved our trip and would absolutely return to this wonderful home. Thanks Janice!

me and my family stayed here for a week in early june 2021. we had a great time, the extra cottage across street comes in real handy. most places dont have this ! a two level screened in porch is also great to have. my favorite was the huge space on the dock area along the water. Janice was super easy to work with, and she also left some gifts and dog treats - that was great!

The cabin was perfect- the views and location were everything we wanted. The screened in porch was our favorite spot on hot days. Janice was extremely responsive as was her property manager who put in the A/C units early for the unseasonably hot days at the end of May. Looking forward to staying again

Lovely lake house
This house was just what we were looking for in a weekend getaway. We were there on a cold November weekend, and the lake house was comfy and cozy. It was lovely waking up to the sunrise over the lake—the waterfront is right there. The house is well equipped with everything you would need. Janice is a fabulous host. The road is close, and we did hear the traffic, especially at night. But you probably wouldn't notice at all if you were out by the water. We would love to come back in the summer, to really take advantage of the outdoor space.

Amazing week
Our week at Cayuga Lake was wonderful. Our group agreed that the two best things about this property were the outside, lake-front space (huge) and its proximity to all the state parks and wineries that we wanted to visit. Added bonuses were the lake “toys” available for use, the well-equipped kitchen, and the great communication with the property owner. We had three adults stay in the main cottage and two in the guesthouse, which seemed to be the right amount for the size of the house. We would definitely stay here again!

Home comfort right on the water.
The house fit our needs perfectly! We stayed for 6 nights and I think my husband actually shed a tear the day we left. The screened in upper and lower decks were perfect for my mom (83 years young), as she had a bird's-eye view of everything from there. The dock was perfect for my husband's boat (18'), which we tied off every evening without incident. Our dog lived it even more than us... If that's possible. We are already thinking about next year's trip. Janice was an angel to work with. We felt like we were a part of her family. Highly recommend!

Cayuga Lake is beautiful
Cottage is beautiful. Road traffic from Route 89 is loud and sometimes vibrates the house. I was surprised to see that some cleaning wasn't done so I did it. After that we had a great time on screened porches and in canoe on lake.
