Vacation rentals with lake access in Cayuga County

This is an absolutely gorgeous setting for relaxing. The property has the most beautiful picture window looking out to the water. We enjoyed watching the sunset while having cocktails on the patio. It is minutes away from the Village of Skaneateles, ideal for shopping and great dining.

Such a wonderful cottage stay. The shared lake access was so easy and wonderful. The cottage is only about a 10 minute drive from the downtown area, which we explored everyday during our stay. Would definitely come back.

We loved this warm and cozy home and felt right at home. The decor is beautiful and it has all the comfort one could ask for. We enjoyed using the funicular to go down to the lake. Very safe and convenient! Pauley was super responsive and friendly and would love to come back in future.

Nadia was responsive from when we contacted her before booking and throughout our entire stay. The house is family friendly—she even installed a gate on the stairs for our kids. There were plenty of dishes, silverware, and cooking supplies so that we could eat at the house each night and didn’t need to go out every evening. The bedding and linens were cotton and clean/soft! Nadia really thought of everything! There were even toys and games for the kids. The lighting and decorations were beautiful and we felt right at home. The wine bar was a great touch—so many glasses and cups—and the backyard and fire pit were wonderful places to relax during the day and play outside. We were very close to two parks—which our kids loved. The house is so spacious, and the Roku tv setup made it simple for us to activate. Plenty of cozy seating. Everything was well maintained, clean, and just like the pictures. We loved the fireplace in the evening. This is our new vacation spot to visit family!

My family of 11 needed a home that could accommodate us and that would feel welcoming and cared for. Suzanne’s Airbnb did not disappoint. In fact, the home was above what we expected from the photos. It was serene and so peaceful, yet we had an amazing time celebrating our son’s graduation from Cornell University, just a 50 minute easy drive to campus. We needed two accommodations for our visit and both were ok’d, as she and I openly communicated with ease. We will find a reason to book with Suzanne again, the experience was that great! Thank you Suzanne and family!

The house is small and cozy, perfect for a couple. We loved it. The sunrise looking out the living room windows is phenomenal. The views of the lake are great. Non-stop fish jumping in the lake. Fishing from the dock was good. Caught a bass by the dock.

Love this house & location. Adam is great to work with, considerate, helpful & responds quickly. We will be back next year! Thank you Adam!

We had a wonderful stay, even with some cloudy and rainy weather! Our kids (ages 10 and 6) loved all of the provided things to do at the water - especially the floating dock, paddle boards and fishing poles. They also loved the loft room! The house was extremely clean and well stocked! We loved the view from the screened in porch, and had coffee out there every morning. Firepit, provided firewood and chairs at the shore was perfect. Beautiful sunset views from the dock! We also enjoyed dinner out in Skaneateles (about 25 min drive) at Hidden Fish (sushi) and Gilda’s (small plates), both great! Beautiful spot at the lake for a couple or small family!

The location is great—right by the lake with stunning views. The apartment was clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The host was responsive and made sure our stay was comfortable. Highly recommend this spot for a peaceful getaway

This studio was a great place for our stay. Robb and his wife are amazing hosts who went above and beyond to make our time comfortable. The apartment was clean, cosy, and filled with all the things needed for our stay. The neighbourhood itself is very walkable and the village shops are only a five minute walk down the road. We wished we could've stayed longer.

Here’s a positive review you can use for the Airbnb apartment on Cayuga Lake: --- We had an amazing stay at this lovely apartment on Cayuga Lake! The place was incredibly comfortable and spotless, with all the amenities you could possibly need – from kitchen appliances to thoughtful extras like coffee and even toothpaste. The highlight of our stay was the adjustable bed – such a pleasant surprise! After a long day of hiking, it was pure bliss to put our feet up and relax. The lake is just 100 feet away, with a beautiful park that’s perfect for a peaceful stroll. The neighborhood is quiet and feels very safe, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We can't wait to come back again soon

Jacci’s home is beautiful and quiet, and with the separate entrance and bathroom, our room felt like a separate apartment. The location was super convenient for weddings at the Inns of Aurora - walking distance from all the festivities at a fraction of the price of staying at the inn!

The apartment was very sufficient for our needs and was clean. The location and people were the real magic of this place! Alex, Angie, and the staff, especially Jen, Bob and Amanda are some of the friendliest and coolest people you will ever meet. We made some forever friends here. It was our first time to the area so having the restaurant and bar, where you get 25% off, and meeting all sorts of interesting people as well as the fabulous staff allowed us to have a unique and amazingly fun experience! Thanks to the highly social atmosphere we found out the best places to go for hikes, waterfalls, restaurants and vineyards as well as other hidden gems that most tourists wouldn’t know about. The lake is amazing for boating, fishing and swimming and they have free Kayaks too. The food and drinks here are also delicious thanks to the smoki’n skills(ribs, brisket) of Chef Bob, & the mixology mastery of Anika! Alex and his staff went above and beyond for us and we will definitely be back! 5*

Very nice apartment I would definitely recommend it to others

We could have not picked a better spot than this for our alumni weekend reunion! Beautiful views, great location for visits to campus and walks to the water, bars, and restaurants. House was clean and cozy. Chris was so kind and accommodating.

Dennis was extremely helpful in getting us checked in and responding to questions. Place was clean and well located. Check in and check out we're smooth.

Highly recommend. The house was clean, exactly as described, comfortable for family of 5. Amazing lake view from house and only few steps to lake. Perfect place for sunset view over the lake.

Lisa’s cottage by the river is an amazing getaway for anyone who’s looking for peaceful surroundings! This wasn’t our first stay, and we always look forward to fishing, kayaking, and birdwatching. Thanks Lisa again for a great MDW stay!

We loved our stay. Everything was just as described. We would definitely stay here again! David and Betsy were extremely accommodating and the bottle of local wine was a really nice touch! Thank you!

Jesse’s place was the perfect cozy-with-a-view getaway. Ideal location, relaxing, well-designed and stocked. Jesse was eager to offer suggestions and very responsive. Hope to visit again!

Airbnb was a perfect place to stay while we visited the area – even on a rainy day the lake looked beautiful! Listing was as described and the host was super responsive.

We loved the cabin spent Mothers Day weekend with my family and Grandkids...we definitely would stay again the view is beautiful and the sunset everything meant all our needs

The view of the lake from the back deck was amazing. The place itself was beautiful with the spiral staircases and very spacious. The place was so clean and tidy before checking in. The breweries and wineries in the area gave us so much to do and were so fun to do tastings at. Job always responded within a few minutes of messaging and gave clear instructions as well. We even got a complimentary late check out, which was very nice of them. Parking was a little tight in the front of the house, but Job mentioned that prior. All in all, we had a great time and the place was worth every penny!

We had to travel to Upstate NY for my mom’s funeral. Aimee was very responsive and so appreciated that we were able to find beautiful accommodations for my wife, sons and daughter.
