Waterfront lakehouse rentals

Large home- waterfront!
Beautiful lake views. Host was very responsive and accommodating. Clear instructions and communication. Home is older and could use some updating but was very clean with almost everything we needed. We did need to bring our own pack and play etc but we contacted ahead and knew to bring the necessary toddler items which was no problem for our party. Main floor was open and a great gathering space with large dining table. We overall had a pleasant and positive experience and we would stay again.

West Side Lakefront Beach House
Rick & Kim’s place was absolutely incredible!! My boyfriend proposed to me on our trip and Rick & Kim’s response was overwhelming in the best way!! Cannot thank them enough for going above and beyond to make our stay that much more special. Looking forward to our next stay!!

Lakefront home Seneca Lake wine trail-Burdett
Beautiful home on Lake Seneca with great views of the lake. The home was fully stocked and had plenty of room to spread out with 7 people staying there. Close to many wineries and distilleries. Be aware the road leading to the home is unpaved and in colder weather be sure to have four wheel drive. We will definitely be back to enjoy the views!

Pristine Lakefront House On Wine Trail
Lori's place was perfect for our annual visit to the Finger Lakes. She has thought of everything to make your stay comfortable- the beds are some of the most comfortable we've stayed in. The kitchen is well appointed with pots, pans, cooking utensils, and we were able to make breakfast every morning before heading out to the wineries- there is even a wine cooler for our favorite white wines! The weather was perfect, and we had our coffee on the back deck every morning by the lake, and enjoyed a blazing fire every night! This area offers so much to do and see, and Lori's place is a great location providing waterfront comfort, and close to the wineries and restaurants. We were able to visit Mackenzie Childs, do a free house tour, then shop in the store- highly recommended! We also went to Skaneateles for some fun girls shopping, took the boat tour, and visited Anyelas winery for live music with a beautiful view! Lori's place is perfect for visiting this area, we give it 5 stars!

Private Waterfront Home on Duck Lake
My family and I had a great stay over the holidays. The place was as described, with three good sized bedrooms, nice bathrooms, and plenty of common space. Very dog friendly and games available to keep everyone occupied. It’s nicely set back from the road to feel more private and allow the dogs to roam in the yard without worry. We did leash the dogs by the lake because it was partly frozen but not totally. We enjoyed spending time by the fire and watching the snow fall, beautiful spot!

Relaxing Lakeside Getaway on Cayuga lake!
David's place was beautiful! The view alone is worth the price you pay for the rental. I imagine in the summer that David's place would be a wonderful summer escape. 15 minutes away from Cornell and Ithaca college. Gorgeous view of Cayuga lake with private dock. Plenty of space for everyone in the family. Two bathrooms and air conditioning, both things that were difficult to find in the area. For those with mobility issues, be advised the bedrooms are located upstairs. Stayed in the offseason but plan to return again when it's warmer!

Owasco Lake retreat
Great place for our group. We had 9 adults and 2 kids. Enough space to not feel on top of each other. Those with children really appreciated the amount of amenities in the house for them: crib, toys, books, etc. Really appreciated the local recommendations and access to kayaks/paddleboats. Very responsive if you have a question or need a rec on what to do/where to go.

Charming Cayuga Lake Front Cottage
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.

Amazing Views! Butler Beach— just 200 steps away!
A beautiful home in quiet neighborhood with amazing water views. Large, spacious rooms. Comfortable seating & dining areas both with walls of windows to enjoy the lake views. Short walk to local beach & close to town for shopping, restaurants, entertainment & park. House is just as described & host is quick to respond with answers to any questions. Excellent place to stay for vacation.

Cozy Lakeside Retreat w/New HOT TUB & Pedal Boat!
We absolutely loved our stay at Amy’s place! You can tell this house wasn’t just built to be an airbnb, it was definitely someone’s home, which made it feel super cozy. Had everything we needed from spices in the kitchen, tons of board games and games for outside, to hairties in the bathroom! Such a great stay, would definitely love to stay again!

An escape on Seneca Lake
This was our second time staying at Erin's place. We love it there! Exact same as the first time. Spotless and clean, comfortable beds and we absolutely loved hanging on the dock! So reasonably priced, too!

Owasco Lakefront. A/C, Fast Wifi & Best Lot
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.

Azalea Beach House on Seneca Lake
We loved the layout of the home and beautiful views, great amenities and well stocked (ie. sheets, towels, dishes, etc.). We would definitely return!

Magical lakefront treehouse, minutes to downtown
We had a great time. Their location on the lake is perfect and we enjoyed being outside even though it was quite cold in March. The projector with the screen was a great way to watch March madness. The layout of the house was great. We would definitely stay here again.

Spacious Charmer w/ Lake Access & Master Suite!
Another great stay at Michelle’s! We have stayed here previously in 2023 and came back with my parents who throughly enjoyed the layout and comfort of this airbnb! We were delighted with the new en suite bathroom! There was plentiful of space and coziness. Thank you for hosting us again! We will definitely be back :)

Finger Lakes Lakehouse Amazing Lake Views
This property is beautiful! It's spacious and quiet with gorgeous lake views from both levels. We stayed in the winter and it was so peaceful. There is a hot tub but an unexpected issue made it unavailable just prior to my stay. The hosts were awesome and offered a refund or credit. The decor in the home is lovely and modern. There are two very functional bathrooms and the one shower has a lake view! Can't get much better than that. There is a neat fireplace in the primary room. There is a cute brewery with good food and a winery right down the road. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. It was the perfect peaceful winter retreat and I'd love to visit again in warmer weather!

Otisco Lake getaway
We had a great time at Katie's place on our girls weekend. It was only 10 minutes from Beak and Skiff where we were attending an event. All the beds were comfy and the living room was great for hanging out and looking over the water. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking breakfast and dinner and the grill was a great addition. I would be happy to rent Katie's place again!

Eagle's Cove on Lamoka, lake stay for wine & brews
Loved the place! The sunset view by the lake with a fire will remain in my heart. Russell was very kind with several sweet gifts. He is a great host!

Lake spirit bungalow
Jody's place immediately gave us the comfort of home, with beautiful decorations and eccentric pieces. I've been in many empty-feeling, hotel-esqe Airbnbs, but it felt like Jody was inviting me over as a friend. The patio was lovely. Highly reccomend.

Comfortable, lakefront house with hot tub & dock
The place was great for a big crew of people! The views of the lake were wonderful and we had a great time hanging out on the deck, in the hot tub, and on the dock! There were two fenced in areas that were good for our dog to play in off her leash.

Enjoy Sunsets - Charming Lakefront 4 BR Home
The house and setting were lovely and Kathy was a wonderful host - she was always responsive and gave helpful recommendations. The lake and outdoor setting were beautiful. The house was very clean, spacious, comfortable and well equipped. We enjoyed using the fire pit and looking at the stars. The kitchen had everything we could need. The layout of the first floor made it easy to make ourselves at home and relax - gather at the table, sit on the multiple couches to watch tv. Kathy responded immediately when we ran into an issue with the water and resolved the problem immediately. Please note the information about water usage in the "Other things to note" section of the property description, as this is accurate and something guests should be aware of.

Old Glory on Keuka Lake
We were 7 of us, mostly siblings, so with 6 bedrooms it was perfect. The rooms were simple yet clean and had all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. While the house is not right on the water is is a very short stroll down to the docks and we had a beautiful view of Keuka Lake from the front porch and windows. There is much to do in the area-hiking, fishing, wine tasting. Also we enjoyed kayaking on the lake which is very beautiful and clean. All the stores you may need for supplies are about a 5 minute drive away in Penn Yan. We did a lot of cooking at the house and found the kitchen to be well stocked. There is a fire pit encircled by Adirondack chairs and we enjoyed campfires 2 of the nights we were there. Brian lives 2 doors down, but we never saw him, so there is no worry of the landlord being intrusive. All in all we would definitely stay again!

Beautiful Keuka Lake house on a protected cove
Marisa’s place was absolutely beautiful! It was so much better than expected! Plenty of space for our large group, the kids were obsessed with the secret room and we all loved the views. It was rainy most of our stay but we were still able to hang by the lake and make some s’mores! So convenient to town and all the other things to do in the area, would definitely stay again!

Beautiful home on south end of Skaneateles Lake
We had the most wonderful weekend at the lake! This was perhaps the most accommodating home we have stayed in. Heidi and Emily are offering everything -- from the fireplace (already stocked with wood), to a canoe, to lawn games, a dedicated dog area outdoors, and an amazingly well-stocked library. This house truly has it all. It was the perfect location for our 9-member family vacation for grandparents, parents, kids, and 2 dogs. We loved every moment. The house has a great, sprawling layout that seems to go on forever! That means the 3 back bedrooms are quiet, and the door in between them and the living area is great for the early risers while the late sleepers snooze. There are so many nooks for hanging out and having side conversations while still feeling a part of the group, but also a few areas to go for some solitude. We really couldn't have asked for anything more than this home offers. And the views of the lake, both from the home and from the beach/dock, can't be beat!
