Beautiful lake views, amazing location, modern, comfortable and peaceful. The perfect lake living while still minutes from town, Cornell and Ithaca College. Watch the sunrise over the lake on the deck. This is a three story home with 3 bedrooms, a bonus room, 2 full baths and and 1/2 bath. Our house has a modern floor plan and beautiful, high-end construction and details. Special features include a stoned faced fireplace, striking wide plank floors, and a modern kitchen with modern appliances. First-floor full bath and guest room. Upstairs you will be delighted with the master suite with more gorgeous lake views. The lower parking area is close to the front door compared to most other West Shore properties. Private lake frontage and dock. Kayaks, Canoe. Fast internet service with wifi, A/C, Washer Dryer, Roku TV, DVD player, gas fireplace, wine cooler.
Reasons to rent this house:
1) The single-family house is directly on Cayuga Lake with amazing views from the deck and dock, near wineries, and also only 5 minutes from downtown Ithaca restaurants and shopping, and less than 15 min. from the colleges.
2) In summer, you can drive close to the front door, no major staircase to the house (as is common on Cayuga Lake). However, you must be able-bodied and sure-footed. There is a path with a series of concrete steps (a total of 21). In winter, we have a new staircase from the road with 52 steps. The house is not appropriate for anyone with walking disabilities (sorry).
3) There are 2.5 bathrooms.
4) Two kayaks on the property, a canoe, private dock.
5) The house is big enough for two families to share. We have 3 bedrooms and a bonus room (with a sleeper sofa), plus a sleeper sofa with memory foam mattress in the living room.
6) Our house is equipped with a high chair, a pack-n-play, an infant bath, and myriad toys, books, and games.
7) We are powered by off-site solar power.
Who Can Rent:
The house is not appropriate for loud/late-night parties. Also, sorry, the house is not handicapped accessible.
All adult guests staying at the house must sign our license agreement and agree to our house rules.
With respect to all Ithaca lakehouses and to enjoy peace and quiet, our property is steep and away from the road. There is a long staircase to the house from the upper driveway with 52 steps. The path from the lower parking is relatively flat. All tenants and guests must be able to navigate the stairs with ease. Unfortunately, it is not handicapped accessible. We do not have a grass yard.
Winter: Our house is a real house that is winterized and you can set the thermostat to whatever is comfortable. We do not always plow or shovel the lower driver in winter. Winter tenants should plan to walk from the upper parking to the house.
Located in Ithaca, this vacation home is near a water park and on the waterfront. Shoppers can check out Ithaca Commons, while everyone can enjoy the natural beauty of Cayuga Lake and Buttermilk Falls State Park. Consider Schoellkopf Field for a night out or Puddledockers if you're traveling with kids. Take in the nearby slopes with snowboarding and skiing, or check out other outdoor activities such as ice skating and sledding.
