Cottage vacation rentals in Ithaca

What a lovely stay! The cottage's location right on Keuka Lake was absolutely perfect, offering amazing wildlife and lake activity. We truly appreciated the privacy and genuine homey feel – made us feel immediately comfortable. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway. We'd definitely stay again!

Nice setting easy to get to all activities we were looking to do like Watkins glen and wineries. Tony provided detailed instructions and gave good recommendations!

Thank you for our wonderful stay this weekend. Your place is the quintessential lake cottage. Everything we needed was supplied and at our fingertips, without being overrun with “stuff.” Well-maintained, clean, and comfortable. It was a cool, rainy weekend and we took full advantage of the bedroom fireplaces and extra blankets! Would love to come back to enjoy summer-time at your place. Thank you!

The house was absolutely beautiful with an even more beautiful view, the kayaks and paddle boards were easily accessible and were a ton of fun on the lake, Mary was a great host. We had some weather related incidents and she responded within minutes. The only negative thing I could say is, we should’ve booked it for longer, we didn’t want to leave. It was very fun weekend!

Cute, cozy and perfect for our weekend getaway. Everything was so clean and Jennifer provided many items around the house to maximize comfort and convenience. Any questions were promptly answered and instructions from check in to check out were clear and easy to follow! Definitely worth the stay!

Had wonderful time. Great place for a quiet get away. The view was amazing. Will hopefully be booking again in future.

The location was perfect to attend a wedding at Fountainbleu Inn (just a short walk to venue). Also, the location next to lake was wonderful. We had plenty of bedrooms with linens/towels and extras like trash bags, paper towels, toiletries, dish soap etc was very nice. The kitchen had what we needed to cook for 10+ people, except crock pot and griddle (which we brought from home). We enjoyed the hot tub and used the propane grill on the large deck. The owner stays close by and was in communication often.

Great cozy cottage on the Keuka Lake. Garrett was a great host and the house was very comfortable for my family of 4. Got to enjoy taking our paddle board on the lake, sit by the fire pit during sunset and enjoy the hot tub after a cold rainy hike at Watkins Glen gorge.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this charming, cozy and comfortable house on a quiet street. We so appreciated how well-stocked the bathrooms and kitchen were. The personalized front door code made getting in super easy, and easy to remember. Thanks for a great week!

Nice cosy house extension, right next to waterfall, very comfy. Close to Ithaca commons (5 min drive), groceries, bakeries etc.

Footsteps from the lake with a winery on the property, what’s not to love? The living space is even roomier than the photos imply, but you won’t want to be inside other than to sleep! The location is perfect for exploring the finger lakes if you feel the need to leave this little slice of heaven. Cannot wait to return.

Great time on the Lake. Had horrible cold rainy weather (haha June 1 mind u) but still managed to have a good time. Jesse is a responsive caring host who has a great little cabin (camp) directly on a very beautiful lake.

Unfortunately we didn’t get to stay for long, we just needed a place to stop for the night, but Michele’s place was so beautiful and cozy we will definitely be back if we’re visiting the area again

The location was perfect! It was private, quaint, and several amenities offered. Unfortunately, it rained while we were there most of our trip, but it didn’t keep us down. We hiked at Watkins Glen, went to several wineries/breweries, got a massage in town, ate at Graft (the duck was amazing!), had Solera, Scalehouse, went to the distillery, Corning Glass museum, antique shops. And when it was cloudy we kayaked and peddle boated. We also visited Painted Stables and I have to say that was our favorite, minus the time well spent in the lake house. What a beautiful location. We will be back!

We were celebrating our 34th wedding anniversary and family graduations! This location was close to family, nostalgic in that we used to have family reunions on the lake, and very relaxing and comfortable. Aside from the unseasonably cold weather, it was nice to explore the town, enjoy delicious food and enjoy scenic sunsets on the lake! Would love to return with family in the future! Brian and Melissa were very responsive and we didn't have any issues!

Another great stay at this perfect home away from home. Nancy has thought of everything you and your pup will need for an incredibly comfortable vacation on the lake. There is a ton to do and explore in the surrounding area. Some of the highlights this year were the Geneva Lake trail, Grounded (cute cafe that allows dogs inside or out!), The Spotted Duck (amazing ice cream and they offer pup cups), Billsboro winery (chocolate truffle & wine pairing, also dog friendly), and Dean Lane Dining (no pets) in Dundee. And then there’s the magic of sunrise from Nancy’s deck and evenings just watching fish jumping, birds flying, and ducks swimming, all from the glider on the dock. Simple pleasures abound here.

Loved this cottage! House was decorated in a modern meets the lakehouse fashion, it was very clean, and these hosts have thought of every little detail to enhance guests stay. The lake view and screened porch are heavenly! We stayed for a concert weekend at Beak & Skiff orchard, which was only a short drive, so the location was great.

Beautiful lake Airbnb. Couldn't have a better weekend. Plenty of space to spread out!

The Little House radiates charm, as do the hosts. The linens were so comfortable I made note of the brands. The yard has century old peonies and grape vines. Be sure to check out the cute downtown.

Absolutely a perfect location. Beautiful little house right in the heart of the wineries AND right on the water. Couldn’t ask for a better spot. Host is very responsive and had lots of recommendations along with times to go (and not go because of crowds)

Can’t beat this location right on Lake Cayuga, still close to downtown Ithaca, wineries, and hiking! House is exactly as advertised, a peaceful cottage on the lake. Yes there are 85 steps, and they are a lot, but worth it for the lake views! Beth was very responsive and helped us out right away with a neighbor’s dog barking at night. Thanks Beth for a great stay!!

What a wonderful retreat! As soon as we walked through the door we felt at home. The home has everything you need to make your stay comfortable. James thought of it all including some treats to welcome us! We went to the local farmer’s market and cooked a great dinner, kayaked, fished and swam in the lake. We didn’t have the best weather to have a campfire but we watched a movie on the huge tv instead. We would definitely stay here again, we loved it so much we didn’t want to leave! Thank you for everything!

Amazing location along the lake that's also close to campus. We were there for a weekend late spring, just as the leaves came back. It was great to be surrounded by beautiful bright green one day and heavy fog the next. Thanks for having us!

What an incredible house in an unbelievable location! Sioux's place was the perfect spot to spend a few days hiding away from the noise of the world. It is hard to describe how gorgeous it is to be so close to the lake. The house was set up perfectly for guests. Everything you needed was there, everything was labeled, etc. I've never found an AirBnB host that did so much to make our stay so easy. And, when we did have questions, Sioux responded quickly and helpfully.
