The space
Beautiful and rustic 3 bedroom + 3 bathroom home (with small owners apt below), located in the town of Ithaca with 3 full baths, accommodating 6 guests comfortably. The property is situated on Cayuga Lake and offers gorgeous views from almost every room, especially the Master Bedroom. There are several decks from which to enjoy outdoor entertaining. A fully equipped gourmet kitchen and two grills (gas/charcoal) are provided, an old cast iron stove as a fire pit on one deck, along with a bonfire pit on the lawn. The house is fully winterized and has a large wood burning fireplace in the Living Room. There is 120 ft of beachfront and a large dock to enjoy the lake. It is approx 6’ deep off end of dock and swimming is fine, but with occasional lake weed. Located 2 miles from downtown Ithaca and 4 miles from Cornell. Very convenient for shopping, restaurants and the Hangar Theater.

Parking is conveniently located via a pull off by the road with space for around 3 cars. There is also a shared driveway with space for one car that allows guests to skip some steps down to the home! Once parked, there is a short flight of steps (from the driveway) to the home. A self check-in keypad is used for convenience.

Through the front door, guests are greeted by a small mudroom hallway that opens into a true chefs kitchen. From spices to pans, knives, and prep bowls, this kitchen truly has it all. A gas stove top, oven, fridge, microwave, dishwasher, double sink, and large pantries are great for preparing full meals or just reheating leftovers. Off of the kitchen are french doors, which open to a deck with a natural gas grill and lake views.

To the right of the kitchen, you'll find a large dining room with a six seat dining table. There are also three lounging areas, perfect for morning coffee, a nightcap, catching up with friends/family, or just enjoying the peace and quiet. The dining room also has french doors that open to the same deck for easy serving. Across from the dining area is a laundry room and the first full bathroom. This includes a vanity, toilet, and standing shower.

Continuing further down the hall, there is a staircase downstairs, where guests will find a living room complete with massage chair, pool table, game table, and bar area. This space also has doors that open to a lower deck with outdoor furniture for eating and lounging.

Across from this staircase upstairs will be the first bedroom. This room includes a queen bed, dresser, closet, and attached full bath with a full size tub, vanity, and toilet. A bit more down the hall is the primary bedroom with a queen bed, closet, and beautiful lake views. Dual skylights provide great natural light as well. Attached to this is a large bathroom with shower/tub, vanity, toilet, and dresser. There is also a small patio through a sliding door off the bathroom.

At the end of the hallway is the last bedroom, featuring another queen bed, dresser, and closet. There is also a small private deck off of this room through a sliding door.

Outside, this property is a true gem. With some of the largest lake front in the area, there is ample yard space for games or just relaxation. A second grill for lakeside bites, kayaks, a peddleboat, hammock, and large dock are some features of the space.

There is a small caretakers apartment below that, if occupied, will only be by the owner and his small quiet dog. You’ll barely know he’s there, and will not share the dock while rented.

Guest access
Guests have access to all areas of the home aside from a small owners apartment. This apartment has a separate entrance and shares no space with guests. All outdoor areas are also not shared.

Other things to note
There is room for 3-4 cars via off street parking, and on street parking available on a first come, first serve basis.
