Waterfront vacation rentals in Cortland County

Great location! Loved seeing a waterfall from the window. Recommended!

Shawn's place was a perfect lakefront retreat! Quick and easy communication. Photos were perfect. Clean and well stocked. Quiet and comfortable. There was a nice beach area, dock area to fish, and a kayak to use. Just a few minutes outside of town. I highly recommend to anyone staying near Ithica that wants to be lakefront.

beautiful place, cozy and well maintained. some of the dishes were not quite cleaned all the way, but other than that the place was spotless. would absolutely stay again when in the area!

Such nice amazing people had a great stay even tho something came Up and I had to leave early they were so nice and understanding about it and even refunded me partially

Absolutely beautifully charming and private. My son, pug and I all loved our brief stay.

Robyn is wonderful! She is very helpful and incredibly kind. This place is paradise. A very peaceful and relaxing, home away from home. The amenities are wonderful, we were able to kayak and listen to some beautiful records, it was absolutely amazing! You will not regret staying here. Put it on your bucket list:)

We had the most wonderful stay at Amanda’s place! The space was exactly as described and perfect for our family while visiting our daughter at Colgate. We loved the location on the lake and views out the front windows. The house is about 3 miles from the Colgate athletic fields or a ten minute drive - 12 minutes if you’re going up the hill. Amanda was such a gracious and accommodating host with excellent communication. We will definitely be back!

I can’t say enough about how wonderful Peggy’s boat house is. This is my second time staying here and I have never stayed at the same ABB twice. This time I brought the kids because I wanted to share the beauty of this place and Ithaca and I knew they would love it. Sitting on the dock fishing and enjoying the views on Cayuga lake is so peaceful and relaxing. Peggy is a very welcoming host and keeps the place very tidy. There are so many things to do. Ithaca Falls is a very short drive away. Buttermilk Falls is a bit further away (not much) and is a beautiful hike. Great restaurants are nearby. I love the area and would love to come back someday.

We had a great time here and would definitely recommend. The only thing to call out is that it is an older structure so things can be heard easily through the walls. Other than that it's a beautiful location with plenty to do around

The house was comfortable and the water views were peaceful.

Beautiful views, super comfortable home, great hiking close by, convenient drive to shops, and peaceful. Just an all around nice place to stay on the lake! Was able to watch my daughter sail with her team across the lake and get her to and from the Cornell campus very easily. Ata was great and very responsive! We’d stay again!!

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.

This was our second time staying here — an absolutely great place! The beautiful river in front of the house gave us such peaceful moments. I’ll definitely be back on my next trip to Ithaca. Thanks, Dominic!

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.

Had a lovely stay here, the natural beauty is truly to die for. Host was so accommodating and responsive. Will definitely return.

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.
