Vacation rentals with lake access in Cayuga Lake

The place is right on the waterfront, and the view is absolutely gorgeous—especially on sunny days. Just a heads-up: there are a lot of mosquitoes around the lake (not specific to the property, but common throughout the area), especially before it rains. If not for the mosquitoes, our stay would have been perfect!

We booked this home after changing our trip dates and losing the original house we rented. Boy, was it worth it!! The home is Beautiful! The views, natural light, huge master bathroom, and the most comfortable couch were just some of our favorite things. One of the bedrooms had kids' books and toys, and it was perfect for our 4-year-old daughter. The owners' communication with us was at its best! We look forward to returning next year!

We had a great time here! Chris gave us incredible food and activity recommendations making our stay extremely worthwhile. He was responsive and helpful throughout the entire weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here- the views were incredible, the dock was so peaceful, and we loved having access to a fire pit. The driveway is pretty steep, required to walk up/down to access the dock. Our stay was perfect, can't wait to return.

Here’s an updated Airbnb review that includes the host’s responsiveness and their handling of a small issue, while keeping the previous points about the interior, exterior, and lovely views without mentioning sunset views: We had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb! The interior of the house was absolutely gorgeous—beautifully decorated, impeccably clean, and incredibly cozy, making us feel right at home. The host was very responsive to all communications and dealt with a small issue promptly and professionally, which we greatly appreciated. The views from the property were lovely, offering stunning scenery that enhanced our relaxing getaway. While the exterior could use some improvement to match the interior’s charm, it didn’t detract from our overall experience. We highly recommend this place for a comfortable and scenic stay!

Great location and place! One of the cleanest places I have stayed in. Good layout for our extended generations. Well appointed for travel and making you feel at home. Tracey was also a proactive host making sure we were clear about accommodation. Would definitely stay here again!

Enjoyed out time - sadly the weather wasn't the greatest but if you are here during the warmer weather I am sure it is fantastic. Very relaxing time and very clean home for our Easter weekend the home has a lot of space to spread out and enjoy reading etc. We had a lot of down time and everyone enjoyed the screened in area and the comfy beds sitting on the deck and the lake view. Pretty close to a few wineries and Wegman's which was great for all the meal prep as we didn't dine out much in the area but there are many places close by. A great time with our son from Syracuse Univ it was nice for him to get off campus and relax before stressful final projects and final exams and for us to meet him near SU- a little less than hour drive.

Carolyn’s home is a great oasis in a beautiful and centrally located part of the Fingerlakes. It is very close to Ithaca as well as the areas wineries in the other direction. In this specific location, you have very easy access to activities and many excellent dining options, while being able to enjoy serene vistas and having your own private access to the water right from her home on the water. We have stayed in other areas of the Fingerlakes and feel Carolyn’s location really is our favourite. The home is well stocked inside out w everything you need from kitchen, to grill, to outdoor equipment for kayaking etc. Carolyn rented her place before Airbnb so the booking process and instructions have some extra paperwork/agreements than is usual for this community here, but it is well worth it. Carolyn is a great host who was always helpful and responsive, anticipating all needs and issues, eventual and even just potential. Many thanks for hosting us, Carolyn!

Catharine was an amazing host - very responsive and could answer any question we had during the trip! The place itself was gorgeous and even nicer than the photos! Was here for a bachelorette and the location is perfect to get to the town of Geneva and local wineries! We had a great time. The house felt very private as well. I can’t say enough good things!

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

Had a girls weekend, and this was the perfect place. Beautiful views and had everything we needed. Host was very responsive and friendly. Gave us great recommendations for places to eat. Would love to come back.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I made the reservation, but this place looked beautiful. I was pleasantly surprised, everything was exactly how it looked in the photos. Kristin and Steve were great hosts, making sure I knew that I could reach them at any time if needed.

This is the third time staying at Jamie's Salmon Creek House, we love it. very modern and comfortable with a great atmosphere!! We love the restaurant and pizza place next door. Look forward to staying here again.

Very nice walk up apartment. The apartment was as pictured. It had all necessary amenities and was quiet. It is in a safe area of town walkable to downtown restaurants. Jason was quite responsive to any questions or needs we had. We very much recommend this property.

Seth’s place was a 1000% worth it. It landed up being one of the best things in our trip and the place was so amazing decorated. Seth and Annie were super responsive and were very warm! I loved all the recommendations Seth gave us and we actually listened to his recommendations and visited all the cafes and hikes. I definitely know that I’m going back at Seth’s and Annie’s place in the winter! ❤️

We stayed in Penn Yan with our pup and had a wonderful experience! The unit was nice and quiet, with a small yard and in the perfect location. Very nice view of the lake and Erika was easy to coordinate with and responsive. I would highly recommend this spot and would stay here again.

We had a great stay in Geneva, right on the water. We stayed in the cottage property and luckily for most of our stay, there was no other guests in the main house. With that, we felt more comfortable using the shared deck and game room. The cottage was perfect for our stay, very local to downtown Geneva easy to get to other wineries, breweries, hikes along Seneca Lake. Although it rained most of our trip, so we didn't get to use the kayaks, but we were able to enjoy a night outside with the firepit by the water (make sure to bring your own wood / lighter to get this started!) The game room was also super fun and a nice feature! Overall, we had a great stay and no complaints! Would recommend for a couple looking for a nice stay on the water.

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.

This location is beautiful! Right on the lake. Easy to go down the stairs to the water. Randall was an excellent host and very responsive. The home is lovely and well kept. We had everything we needed. The hot tub was perfect! We used the canoe and kayaks and had a wonderful time on the lake. We would most definitely rent this again and we’ll keep it on our list! Highly recommend!

This lakefront cottage was in a beautiful location and directly on the water, so you could go to sleep and wake up to the peaceful sounds of the lake. Every bit of space was used efficiently, resulting in the place feeling roomier than you may think at first glance. It was even pet-friendly with our dog finding a nice spot right by the door where he could watch all the happenings on the lake no matter what the weather! Thanks for a great weekend stay!

Excellent stay! Really nice having water access and a yard for our dog to run around in! Place was well kept and the paddle boards and grill were in great shape.

Our stay at Kate’s was perfect for my graduation weekend. The house had everything we needed, and the views were absolutely stunning. Kate was super responsive and really accommodating, which made everything easy. I’d definitely love to come back when the weather’s nicer and try out the kayaks and paddleboards. Highly recommend!

If there was a sixth star I would check it. The cabin was exactly as expected. I am looking forward to staying there again.

Thank you Adrienne! Second time visiting and both experiences have been wonderful! Beautiful view of the lake, local wineries, peaceful surroundings, and a clean space! Thank you!

Thank you for letting us stay at your lovely house! We had the best time. The location is perfect, the house was so clean and the view was stunning. We highly recommend this lovely lake house!
