Waterfront vacation rentals in Ithaca

The location is great—right by the lake with stunning views. The apartment was clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The host was responsive and made sure our stay was comfortable. Highly recommend this spot for a peaceful getaway

Our stay here was fantastic. Joan was an amazing host and had plenty of recommendations on things to do based on what we liked. Could not have been a better experience, the apartment was clean and comfortable, and overall it was such a lovely spot. Waking up to the calm of the area and being so close to so many fantastic local places made this trip one or the best we've ever had. Went for my partner's birthday this all made it truly special.

We had a great stay here! David was easy to communicate with and very helpful. The place was beautiful and very well taken care of. The lake front location was beautiful! The photos don't do it justice. We all really enoyed sitting on the porch and the dock enjoying the spectacular views! The home was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. Hope to go back again!

I had a wonderful stay! The host was incredibly communicative and responsive throughout the entire process. He was kind, helpful, and made everything so easy. The place itself was beautiful, comfortable, and exactly as described. It was peaceful and perfect for a relaxing getaway. Highly recommend!

such a gorgeous and unique place!! we were well equipped for a cozy stay in. we cooked and painted and explored outside. Maria was not only quick to respond but a pleasure to talk to :) would absolutely love to stay again in the future, thank you so much for having us

I stay in hotels and Airbnb's about 4 months of the year. This is definitely one of the best. It's a very new renovation to an old building. It's absolutely spotless, the towels, sheets and other furnishings are high quality. If you plan to cook the kitchen is very well stocked. I was quite impressed with the attention to detail. A very professional Airbnb host.

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.

Great place for a weekend getaway to the Finger Lakes! Very clean and modern, had everything we needed. Location had a nice view of the lake with beautiful sunsets, and was convenient to both Keuka and Seneca. Michelle was quick with responses and very accommodating. Highly recommend!

I stayed here with my family for 3 nights. We were in the area for a concert at CMAC, which was about 20 minutes away. Sondra’s place was perfect! It was serene and peaceful with the creek out front. We had many bird and deer visitors. The hot tub was so fun and we spent most evenings grilling on the deck. There are beautiful wineries and trails nearby (the RMSC nature center is fantastic!). We also did a campus tour to SUNY Geneseo when we were up (again only about 20 mins away!) I hope to be back in the area again soon and would book with Sondra again in a heartbeat! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

We have come to visit 3 times now and every time we have, it has always been relaxing and peaceful. We always enjoy fishing, bird watching, and walking the property with our dogs. It is a wonderful and special place. Thanks to Andrew and Sally for being great hosts and sharing their special home.

Drift away was a wonderful cottage right on the lake. Place was extremely comfortable. Beautiful views. We didn’t have the greatest weather which would have made the trip so much better, so we hope to plan a trip back soon.

Karen and George’s home was the perfect Finger Lakes getaway. The house was extremely clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. It was super close to some of the best wineries, and they were just a text away—friendly, responsive, and incredibly accommodating. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again! 10/10!

We had a great time here! Chris gave us incredible food and activity recommendations making our stay extremely worthwhile. He was responsive and helpful throughout the entire weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here- the views were incredible, the dock was so peaceful, and we loved having access to a fire pit. The driveway is pretty steep, required to walk up/down to access the dock. Our stay was perfect, can't wait to return.

We had a fabulous experience! The house is beautiful with really charming art and decorations throughout the house. The outside space is gorgeous and we enjoyed drinking our morning coffee outside on the deck looking at the lake and kayaking in the afternoon! Valarie was very responsive and provided clear instructions and information. We were visiting for a wedding at the Fountainbleu Inn and it was so easy to walk to the venue!

What a beautiful location and very nice house. We didn't have any issues at all and hope we can come back in the future. The lake water was too cold for us to want to swim but we enjoyed the Jacuzzi and played card games on the balcony. The weather in June is perfection, the wineries and State parks nearby were so great, and the house itself had everything we needed. Thank you so much, Kate!

Sean’s property was beautifully maintained and exceeded our expectations. We chose this location for its accessibility, particularly for my elderly mother, and it proved to be an ideal choice. The walk to the lake was easy and convenient, making it even more enjoyable. Sean was highly responsive and communicative, promptly addressing any questions we had. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-located stay.

It is a very quiet place, with an excellent view, around with a touch of security and peace. Everything is very clean, its comfortable beds, and its spacious living room is a nice place if you don’t want to go out. We are a family of 4 where we have a lot of fun. Thank you for the attention in the chat upon our arrival.

Tobiah was a fabulous host. He answered all questions promptly and was very helpful. We had a small gathering of family, coming from far apart and the condo was wonderful! It worked beautifully for our needs. We loved the view of the lake off the balconies-- especially with a full moon reflecting on it! The condo was well-appointed, with everything we needed. It was a very comfortable setting and close to hiking, wineries, and water activities, as well as cycling along the Erie Canal. The condo's location, a short distance between the towns of Naples and Canadaigua, made it easy to run an errand or go out eat. We highly recommend Tobiah's waterfront condo!

We enjoyed our stay with clean accommodations and well stocked. The only thing I would consider adding is a washer and dryer for convenience.

Lori was amazing at communicating with us about some issues we had leading up to our visit. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed every minute of our stay!

Wonderful stay. It faces the inlet and you can see across to the plazas instead of the full lake, but it's still very pretty. A great unit, great area, great instructions and responsiveness.

We had a wonderful stay. The views were absolutely stunning. It was a perfect way to ring in the new year. Amy was very responsive, and the house was perfect. We hope to return one day.

Our family came in for a concert, and this location was perfect. Beautiful condo, with a perfect location on the lake. With access to the pool, hot tub, life sized chess board, gym and the lakeside trail, we were within steps of a brewery, salon, restaurants, playground and an ice cream shop. Within walking distance of CMAC -- which we saw many people do. No need to bring your own towels, the condo has 4 for your use. The owners were quick to respond when we weren't able to get the door open (trick: turn the lock all the way to the right and lift the door handle up as you open) and super kind/prompt if I had other questions. We'll def be back. Thanks for letting us stay in your beautiful place!

If I could give this a 10 start review I would! The service provided to my family was white gloved. The home was a bit out dated but the view made up for it! Truly a beautiful get away that I will be doing again!
