Vacation rentals with lake access in Cayuga Lake

Staying at Mara's house was exactly what we needed to welcome in 2025. The house itself is immaculate, well appointed, comfortable and has incredible lakefront views to tie it all together. Getting around the Cayuga Lake area was so easy from where the house is located and there are even some incredible wineries and breweries minutes away. The layout and setup of the house was very thoughtfully done and everything we needed (and more) was there. 10/10 excellent stay.

Second time we’ve stayed here and I’m sure there will be a 3rd! Beautiful spot, dog friendly, clean and peaceful! Absolutely no complaints! Thanks for a great weekend!

Our stay was amazing .The house is cleaned,comfortable and cozy(Comfortable mattress👌)Lacey is wonderful(respond is Quick )We would like to stay again next year .Recommend 100%👍👍👍

This Airbnb was the perfect fall getaway! We visited the lake to soak in the autumn vibes, and this spot exceeded our expectations. There was plenty of room for our group of five, and the host’s recommendations made our trip even better. While the area is known for summer fun, I think fall might be the best time to visit. We had an amazing time exploring the charming shops, cozy restaurants, and stunning waterfront spots, plus the nearby vineyards are a must-see. Can’t wait to return next year when the leaves are changing again—absolutely loved our stay!

Our stay was great! Very spacious and great location. The views of the lake were beautiful! Nancy provided so much and made us feel very welcomed. She provided even some nice surprises and had great recommendations. Loved the location! The only downside for us personally (because we have children) you cannot swim off the dock. Under the water, it is covered with grass/seaweed. So even Nancy recommended not to swim there. HOWEVER, it made it the PERFECT place to fish! Which we did and caught so pretty big fish. We had a blast fishing. So it just depends on what you want for an on the water site. Don't care to swim? Then definitely have to check out this place!

Carolyn's lake house is incredible. Our group only stayed for a night, but it was such a great time. The house has fantastic amenities, and the views of the lake are gorgeous. Make sure to take advantage of everything the house has to offer, especially the kayaks and canoes. Carolyn herself was also very kind and easy to communicate with. All in all, highly recommended, even for a short stay!

Our group of 10 adults had a wonderful visit to Skaneateles that was made far better by the beautiful home with an amazing view. The house was comfortable with plenty of seating both inside and on the expansive porch. Our host, Debbie, fostered easy communication. Wonderful house and the location can’t be beat!

A lovely, impeccably appointed, and yet affordable cottage right on Lake Cayuga and minutes from the center of Ithaca and Cornell. . Robert provides prompt and personal service to his guests. Highly recommended.

This is a cool place if you like history and American culture. Lots of local history here and it gives you a lot to think about with the past and future. I learned a lot in 24 hours in this town. Theres a lot of variety for restaurants and things to do. Would love to come visit again someday. The views are amazing in the winter and it’s nice to be so close to everything.

This was a perfect stay on Waneta Lake. Host was responsive and helpful. Would recommend.

Amazing views and close to some of the best wineries in the area. Hot tub is across the street and provides great views of the lake and stars. Joan was an awesome host. She provided us coffee, snacks, and was very responsive. She met us upon arrival and pointed out things to note which was much appreciated.

Great stay , very good communication nice, quiet professional neighborhood no compliants.

although we didn't stay very long we absolutely adored our time in the barn as we had made a last-minute decision to stay in naples. the space is gigantic yet very cozy with a lot of great interesting decorations on the walls from all places around the world. Seth was very easy to communicate with especially with the last minute booking and we definitely would recommend.

great host, the local wine in the fridge was a nice touch. thoightful interior, cozy bathtub, spacious bedroom. Scenic location next to the lake was beautiful and Penn Yan has a really sweet downtown. Thank you for the stay!

Loved staying at the cottage! Very peaceful, perfect for one person or a couple visiting Geneva. Quick drive to town but in a quiet area. Would absolutely stay here again!

David & Debby are wonderful hosts! We had a cold and rainy weekend for our stay, but their cozy home was just perfect to keep us warm and snug. Comfy beds, squeaky clean, and such a beautiful view. We will definitely be back!

We absolutely loved staying in Megan's House. We definitely would love to return someday. Roy and Molly are wonderful hosts. The place was clean and comfortable. Just be aware the shower area is small and a larger person may have difficulty using it. We also came at dark and it is a little off the beaten path, but we'll worth it.

Fantastic lake house, spotlessly clean, and exactly as described. Tons of thoughtful touches. The host Katie was great to communicate with - responses were always timely. Sitting in the living room or on the deck feels like being on the prow of a ship. We were a group of 3 and everyone loved it. One of the best AirBnBs I’ve ever stayed at. Possibly the best. No…it was definitely the best. Would 100% return. Thanks so much!

This was a well thought out vacation rental that had everything a person needed for a comfortable stay. Finding the place, checking in and out was easy. After we checked in Cate e-mailed to see if there was anything we needed. I would not hesitate to rent this house again

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage is beautiful and very clean. It is one of the best places we have stayed in using AirB&B. Highly recommend.

Jesse’s cottage was super cozy. It felt like our home away from home. The location was in a pretty central spot. we weren’t far from any of the wineries. The backyard view of the lake was stunning. We would definitely stay at Jesse’s cottage again.

A great place for a weekend girls getaway! super comfortable beds, nicely set up cabin. The outdoor space is breath taking and the hot tub was an added bonus! We enjoyed relaxing in the living room with the fire place and TV. We visited a few close by towns and enjoyed Alec's recommendation of the boat museum. All in all a great trip and a comfortable cabin!

Such a cute cottage right in the Lake. Had everything you could possibly need and Kevin was very responsive in answering my questions. Had such a great time sitting on the deck watching the sunrise. We will be back!

Beautiful little cottage, perfect for a couples getaway weekend.
