Back-Achers Cottage #1
We have been staying at Back-Acres for 6 yrs now. We love it so much we bring our closest friends and family. It’s such a gem

Lakeside Cottage
We had a wonderful stay at this clean and comfortable lakeside cottage. We felt the location was nice, peaceful surroundings, yet close to all the trails and attractions. We would definitely return if ever in the area.

Lakefront &Wine Trails: Little Blue Cottage FLX
Excellent stay! Really nice having water access and a yard for our dog to run around in! Place was well kept and the paddle boards and grill were in great shape.

Beautiful home on south end of Skaneateles Lake
We had a great stay! The location is beautiful and the house was just as described. It was great having enough room to all stay in one place to celebrate my daughter graduating from Cornell University School of Veterinary Medicine. And, our dog was also allowed to come!

Serene Finger Lakes Cabin — Aurora, NY
My experience was excellent from the reservation to checkout. It’s a beautiful location and the home was perfect. It was better than I could’ve imagined. The description and pictures don’t do the property or cabin/cottage justice. It was very clean and we felt right at home. I needed a peaceful weekend away and it did not disappoint! Suzanne was very responsive and helpful. Great place! We’ve already talked about going back for a longer stay.

Lakeside charm. Golden sunsets. Pure escape.
This cottage is so adorable! Me and my family had an amazing stay. We loved having access to the water and a dock. It’s so close to local breweries and wineries. The view is also so beautiful off the back deck. We would love to stay here again!

Secluded Cottage On Seneca Lake
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.

Prime Lakefront Getaway: Dock ~ Beach ~ Fire Pit
Great house on the lake. Well stocked kitchen and a ton of games. Great seating area. Loved the dock and the fire pit. Hosts were very responsive and gave some great pointers for the area. Loved hiking Watkins Glen. Easy to get around the area and lots of wineries and breweries.

Farmstay Scottland Yard -Wisteria- Glamping Tent
Scottland Yard Farm is amazing. We had the most comfortable sleep we have ever had "glamping". The tent was roomy, the bed was comfortable, and it was super helpful to have a heated blanket, fan, and a fridge in our space. The communal areas are great too! I was very pleasantly surprised by how nice the bathrooms, kitchen, and laundry spaces were. The animals were adorable and overall I would highly recommend staying here!

Sunset Beach on Seneca Lake
Can’t say enough positive things about sunset beach. The home was very clean and super spacious. We had 9 adults and there was plenty of space for all of us and it never felt crowded. The home and grounds are clean and well maintained. The views are fantastic. Unfortunately, our weather wasn’t great, so we couldn’t take advantage of the pool or lake. We still had a wonderful time. Jill, our host, was great. Very friendly and responsive. I would highly recommend this property.

Farmstay Scottland Yard- Queen's Quarter's
Loved staying on the farm and the Queens Quarters was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. Really the perfect getaway and we would definitely come back.

South Skaneateles, Secluded Cottage
Alison’s home was even more lovely than the photos! My family of four (all adults) spent the weekend and it was absolutely perfect. The property was so beautiful and private. The swimming pond, gardens, walking trails, patios and sauna gave us plenty of opportunity for both exploring and relaxing. The house is so comfortable and had everything we needed. Alison, Mike and their dog, Ghost were the perfect hosts! We did not want to leave and are already looking forward to returning ! This has been our favorite Airbnb yet!

Cayuga Lake Charming Cottage in Ithaca
Martha's place is lovely. Adorable cottage in a great location. It's a short drive to town for restaurants. stores and parks. The lake is so beautiful and peaceful, a quiet little spot with a beautiful view. It was exactly what we needed, and a great view to relax by. The kitchen was nicely equipped also for preparing a few meals. Thank you for sharing your cottage.

Lake Living w/ Salt Water Hot Tub
It was a beautiful, comfortable lake house! We stayed with family for a Cornell Graduation and the location couldn’t have been better. Kayaking on the lake was fun and the kids enjoyed the hammock in the back of the house.

Cayuga Lakefront Camp
The location was beautiful and central to our plans of hiking and wine tasting. We loved the deck on the lake and spent much of our time down there. It was very peaceful. The house has everything we needed for our couples’ weekend away. We took advantage of the coffee shop at the top of the road several times.

Lakehouse on Cayuga
Great spot right on the water overlooking Cayuga lake. we enjoyed beautiful sunrises and moonrises from the porch. It's also only 5-10m from downtown Ithaca, and 5m from taughannock falls, 15m from Cornell. Seneca lake wineries /breweries only 25m away. Property extremely well appointed: not cluttered, but still enough kitchenware, bedding, games, etc. The elevator via the driveway is great (and a fun quirk!) but I might recommend using the lower lot (via Ithaca yacht club) for bigger unloading/loading. we also enjoyed evening walks to the IYC kids park and nearby waterfalls. Glenwood pines also only a 5m walk (or 1m ride) for a quick bite. overall highly recommend! Cayuga nature center/treehouse was also close and fun for kiddos.

Sunset Lake House
Cindy’s own description of their space didn’t do it justice. It was even nicer than described and an even more beautiful spot than portrayed in her pictures! Location was wonderful. Very central to our stay as we attended our nephew’s wedding festivities. Waterfront location was spectacular and we got lucky with the weather, which called for rain all weekend, but never truly came. We’ll stay again if ever headed for Ithaca!

Cayuga Lake Retreat with Level Lake Front
The red cottage was cozy and beautiful, with a stunning lake view—truly more than we could have hoped for. Thank you, Jenny, for being such a wonderful host!

Cabin 7 @ The Spotted Sandpiper
Great location. Spacious cabin 7. Check in & check out couldn’t be easier. Very responsive and friendly hosts. We would definitely stay again

Secluded 120 ft private beach
My friends and I had a blast at the Lakehouse! It was so special to sleep with the lake breeze and wake up to the sounds of the gentle waves. What a gem! We did end up bringing our own jugs of water as the tap water had a bit of a strange taste but other than that everything was just perfect. Highly recommend!
