Cottage vacation rentals in Tompkins County

Loved this lake side cottage!! It was perfect for us to meet up with extended family. Beds very comfortable! All the base necessities were there, the view is amazing! We had a blast fishing and swimming, and also kayaking!!!! There is a lot of room between the bedrooms, living room, covered patio, dock and yard to not feel cramped. Appreciate the laundry room, much needed when in and out of the lake. Lastly I asked for extra hour to visit with family since we were going right to airport and they answered back quickly no problem.

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!

We had a great time here on the lake. The house was stocked with kitchen needs, water activities, towels, comfortable bedding, coffee, and bathroom amenities. We spent most of our trip swimming in the lake, kayaking, and sitting in the hot tub. Great location to Watkins glen and the wine trail. Would love to come back for another trip!

Very beautiful home! Amazing view of the lake, along with nice amenities and plenty of space!!! Very update to date and clean home and a perfect place to stay , especially for a weekend getaway!!

Loved staying here! Stairs were a little creaky but besides that had an amazing weekend. The proximity to wineries and Ithaca is a huge selling point, also the hot tub and games at the house were my highlights.

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.

We have stayed at this house multiple times. It is our home away from home at the Finger Lakes. You can’t beat the location! The house is absolutely perfect. It is a wonderful getaway. I can’t recommend it enough.

We celebrated our 40th Anniversary at this lovely cottage surrounded by fields of grapes and a beautiful view and lake setting. We were very comfortable and enjoyed all the surrounding nature, restaurants and wineries. Mary was very responsive and gave us perfect directions and information. We definitely would stay at this Cozy Cottage again!

We had a wonderful stay at this clean and comfortable lakeside cottage. We felt the location was nice, peaceful surroundings, yet close to all the trails and attractions. We would definitely return if ever in the area.

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!

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

Beautiful, spacious cottage with everything we needed! The hosts were very responsive and we enjoyed our stay! Access to the lake wasn't quite what we had hoped, but overall the location and space were excellent.

This property is magical and after two years of visiting, has quickly become my favorite spot in the Finger Lakes!!! The house is well appointed with all of the little details considered and executed on for guests (seasonings, food storage containers, firewood, hooks to hang your personal items in the bedrooms and bathrooms, throw blankets, etc.). As soon as you step in, you feel right at home and the lakeside fire-pit and view from the top wraparound deck are serene and beautiful spots to enjoy your morning coffee or evening wine. We saw herons and eagles daily from the deck and if you kayak to the nearby cove, you can enjoy more birdwatching if you love nature like us!! The lake entry is easy to get in and the landscape and property are in pristine condition. Can’t wait for our next visit!!

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.

We absolutely loved our stay- we did not want to leave! Beautiful view of the lake and the coziest space. We will definitely be back!

We loved our stay. The yard was great to walk our dog. Janette and family, including pets, were very friendly!

We had an amazing time, great accommodation with an amazing view, great instructions for everything. The only thing to look out for is the parking. The hill is pretty steep.

It was a very nice cabin with a beautiful backyard and very close to the inn and falls at Taughannock

Christine is a wonderful host. She was very responsive to any questions and was a pleasure to talk to. The cottage had an amazing view right on the water and there are kayaks and other floaters to use. The cottage itself was so comfortable, clean and felt like home. It was very clean and well stocked with all the necessities. A favorite is the screened in room overlooking the lake. Definitely recommend a stay.

What a wonderful stay at Sioux's place on Cayuga Lake! Attentive and very experienced host has thought of every detail to make a stay relaxing and carefree! Kayaks, paddleboards, books & games, wifi, AC, gas grills. Sweeping lake views can be enjoyed from the dock, deck, or living room. The cottage interior has been beautifully and lovingly modernized —new bathroom is gorgeous!—while maintaining the charm of lake living. Location can't be beat. Great wineries, ice creamery, coffee, shopping, and dining in nearby Trumansburg or Ithaca. We WILL be back!

Really appreciate the host's flexibility with our check in time. Place was perfect for our group and more private than expected. Loved the dock, lawn area and fire pit. Would love to go back again

A lovely place to stay and get away from the ho hum of life. We especially enjoyed the living room with amazing sound quality speakers for movie nights and music! The grill and firepit were also very enjoyable to use.

We had a great time. The place was 15 minutes from the family we came to visit, maybe 20 minutes to town. The place is great, clean and well worth the stay. When we come back, we will look into this place again. Highly recommended.
