Cottage vacation rentals in Ithaca

"Our stay at Alec's place was great! Very spacious, right on Lake Keuka, close to wineries, breweries and distilleries. Alec was very communicative when we had a power outage due to a bad storm, and kept us updated on when it was going to be back on. He was very supportive in answering all of our general questions as well. Highly recommend staying here and would stay here again"

We had the best family get away!! Great views from the house, kitchen has everything you need, the hot tub and fire pit were awesome bonuses and overall the place was excellent! We rent a lakefront getaway at least twice and year and this one was one of if not the best places we’ve stayed! Hosts are super nice, quick to answer any questions you have, and check in/out were super easy. And if you’re bass fishing, this is the perfect spot. 11/10!!

Thank you for our wonderful stay this weekend. Your place is the quintessential lake cottage. Everything we needed was supplied and at our fingertips, without being overrun with “stuff.” Well-maintained, clean, and comfortable. It was a cool, rainy weekend and we took full advantage of the bedroom fireplaces and extra blankets! Would love to come back to enjoy summer-time at your place. Thank you!

Cute, cozy and perfect for our weekend getaway. Everything was so clean and Jennifer provided many items around the house to maximize comfort and convenience. Any questions were promptly answered and instructions from check in to check out were clear and easy to follow! Definitely worth the stay!

What a beautiful property right on the lake! We had such a lovely time, the place is well equipped with anything you might need and is very close to lots of restaurants, breweries, and wineries. We can’t wait to come back, highly recommend!

Beautiful home right on the lake. The weather was a bit cold and rainy while we were there so we didn't use the outside space as much as planned, but the spacious living room and dining room were perfect for our 8-person group plus a 7 month old! Tons of space to spread out, play games, read, and play with baby. There were mega blocks, a play mat, a high chair, a changing table, a crib, and everything we could need for our baby. The hot tub was also fantastic for the colder days. We used the firepit as well and there were plenty of Adirondack chairs for our group our there. Two of our cars are electric, so the charger was a big plus! This is a wonderful find and we would love to book again later in the summer! Perfect for the whole family. We cooked a few time while here, and the kitchen had the basics like toaster, cooking utensils, pans, knives, etc. Lots of cups and glasses for making drinks, too.

The location was perfect to attend a wedding at Fountainbleu Inn (just a short walk to venue). Also, the location next to lake was wonderful. We had plenty of bedrooms with linens/towels and extras like trash bags, paper towels, toiletries, dish soap etc was very nice. The kitchen had what we needed to cook for 10+ people, except crock pot and griddle (which we brought from home). We enjoyed the hot tub and used the propane grill on the large deck. The owner stays close by and was in communication often.

The from the house was wonderful. Everything inside was clean and it was a very nice house to spend the weekend. There was one maintenance issue that was handled really before there was an issue. Everything was communicated clearly and handled very professionally. We really enjoyed our girls trip weekend here and would highly recommend this house to others.

We enjoyed our five night stay at Camille’s place. It was a fantastic hub for waterfalls and lake day trips. We also walked to the glass museum and to downtown restaurants a few times. The place was full of cozy amenities and we had everything we needed. We loved the outdoor spaces! Front and back porch areas are gems.

Nice cosy house extension, right next to waterfall, very comfy. Close to Ithaca commons (5 min drive), groceries, bakeries etc.

Great peaceful space. The views were beautiful. The house had very cute touches and the beds were very comfortable!

Had a wonderful weekend getaway! Right across the street from Lakeshore Winery and not even a 10 min drive from plenty others. Beautiful location on the lake, would highly recommend and would def come again!

Jesse’s place was the perfect cozy-with-a-view getaway. Ideal location, relaxing, well-designed and stocked. Jesse was eager to offer suggestions and very responsive. Hope to visit again!

Unfortunately we didn’t get to stay for long, we just needed a place to stop for the night, but Michele’s place was so beautiful and cozy we will definitely be back if we’re visiting the area again

Everything was exactly as described. Looking over the lake in the morning was amazing. Had a lot of rain during our stay and even then it was very enjoyable under the covered area watching the rain. The bed in the sofa was clean and comfortable. Everything you needed was provided. Would definitely consider staying here again.

Beautiful, spacious cottage with everything we needed! The hosts were very responsive and we enjoyed our stay! Access to the lake wasn't quite what we had hoped, but overall the location and space were excellent.

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Kate's place. This home was so nice and SUPER CLEAN! The kitchen is very nicely stocked with all of the cookware, utensils and odds and ends you will need. It is a very quiet location, which we were fine with! ( You have to drive to get to any restaurants or conveniences). We highly recommend this rental. Thank you Kate!

We loved staying at the Three Bears Cottage. The kitchen was well equipped and having a washing machine and dryer was a bonus. The lounge room was very comfortable which we enjoyed relaxing after touring around the beautiful lakes. Matt was a great host and very responsive. We highly recommend to stay here if you are staying at the Finger Lakes

The Little House radiates charm, as do the hosts. The linens were so comfortable I made note of the brands. The yard has century old peonies and grape vines. Be sure to check out the cute downtown.

The cottage is exactly as described and looked just like the pictures which is not always the case. We loved having coffee while listening to the birds and enjoying the view of the lake. On the days it rained it was a peaceful and quiet retreat to relax and read or watch a movie. Kevin gave us lots of great recommendations for restaurants, hiking, breweries, and wineries. We recommend Watkins Glen State Park for hiking and Grist Iron Brewing for food, music, and beer. Both Kevin and Stephanie were friendly and responsive to our needs. Our time on the lake was really special and we would stay at the cottage again.

We had an absolute wonderful stay at James' lake cottage. Check in was easy and the cottage was clean and nicely decorated. We instantly felt welcomed and at home in the sweet space. The outdoor space was so lovely and peaceful. We enjoyed using the grill and kayaks. James had great local recommendations for us- we loved hiking at the nearby Lime Hollow Preservation and embarked on multiple hikes around to see spectacular waterfalls. Homer was a fun small town where we enjoyed lunch, some shopping and even a parade one evening! Our long weekend at the cottage was memorable, fun and relaxing. We would definitely love to come back!

We had a wonderful vacation at the cottage. It had everything we needed and being right on the lake was so peaceful. Great proximity to a lot of beautiful waterfalls, hiking, and restaurants. Will absolutely book again!

Delightful, quiet stay with everything that I needed. Beautiful setting and I enjoyed the dock and lake despite the weather. Don was very responsive to my questions and needs prior to the visit. It was wonderful to meet his brother and to hear a bit about the history of the property. Hope to stay again soon for a longer stay.

What a wonderful stay at Sioux's place on Cayuga Lake! Attentive and very experienced host has thought of every detail to make a stay relaxing and carefree! Kayaks, paddleboards, books & games, wifi, AC, gas grills. Sweeping lake views can be enjoyed from the dock, deck, or living room. The cottage interior has been beautifully and lovingly modernized —new bathroom is gorgeous!—while maintaining the charm of lake living. Location can't be beat. Great wineries, ice creamery, coffee, shopping, and dining in nearby Trumansburg or Ithaca. We WILL be back!
