Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Cayuga Lake

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.

We booked this home after changing our trip dates and losing the original house we rented. Boy, was it worth it!! The home is Beautiful! The views, natural light, huge master bathroom, and the most comfortable couch were just some of our favorite things. One of the bedrooms had kids' books and toys, and it was perfect for our 4-year-old daughter. The owners' communication with us was at its best! We look forward to returning next year!

We had a wonderful stay at Evan's house. The location is great - secluded but not isolated, and not too far from shopping (Wegmans – 15 minutes) and colleges (Ithaca College – 18 minutes). The house was very spacious and tastefully done. For people that like to cook, there is oil, salt, pepper, ketchup and mustard in the kitchen so there's no need to buy or bring them. There were many thoughtful touches, including flashlights by the outside doors, labels by the lights and temperature controls, phone chargers by the beds, and an outside poop bag garbage bin. Our dog really liked running around the property. Evan was super responsive and always got back to me right away.

With several beautiful wineries close by, the location was perfect for a weekend trip with my mom & sisters. Sarah and team were proactive in their communications and left a lovely welcome gift for us to enjoy during our stay. The house decor/aesthetic was welcoming and cozy as well — plenty of space for the four of us to relax and sleep comfortably!

I highly recommend this home for your stay. It is bigger than it looks, has a lot of kitchen and bathroom items available, and the farm lands surrounding are beautiful. Tiffany was great host providing recommendations and excellent communication. She goes the extra mile to ensure the perfect stay.

It was a great stay! The house is very comfortable and modern, had everything we needed. The hosts are great as well, very friendly, answering the messages quickly and demonstrated availability. Location is near the supermarket and close to some restaurants.

An absolutely beautiful home with a view to die for. Well appointed and equipped with all the amenities you need for a relaxing get away. Ms. Casey is a wonderful host, and always responded quickly to all my questions. Thank you for making our family get away so memorable.

This is a great location for a weekend spent visiting Ithaca, Cornell, enjoying the Apple Festival, and seeing all the gorges and the waterfalls. The leaves are turning and the fall colors are spectacular. We even went swimming in the chilly lake!

I feel we got exactly what I expected or better from the listing. Comfy bed with lots of pillows, liked the living room area a lot. The only downsides have already been mentioned in other reviews - spotty WiFi, sulfur water smell, and a tight fit for my broad shouldered husband to fit on the toilet. The first 2 things just feel like a living in the country situation. I still give it 5 stars anyway. I would recommend this place to anyone who wouldn’t mind those things. Chris was always easy to deal with!

We have stayed here several times and always enjoyed it!

Very nice modern apartment adjacent to owner’s. Overlooks Seneca lake and wildflowers. Adjacent to small winery with snacks and wine. Spotless and spacious. Good value as compared to other options. Host is very personable and has understandable rules. We appreciated our stay very much.

My parents and I had a great trip to Cortland for my nephew's graduation. The house was very nice and had everything we needed. The hot tub was lovely and the back yard has beautiful gardens. Arnaud was helpful and responsive. We enjoyed staying here.

We loved Glenn and Dianna's place. All the furniture, decor, etc. was great for relaxing and unwinding. The deck (with firepit and grill) has a breathaking view of Seneca Lake, and there are so many restaurants, wineries, breweries, etc. all within a few miles. Also easy access to Watkins Glen and its walkable, quaint downtown. The message we received for checking in was probably the most detailed and helpful we've gotten from any host. Very precise directions for parking, entering the apartment, etc., and lots of information about local restaurants, wineries, etc. It was a pleasure meeting them both, as they are super friendly and genuinely nice people. It is about a half hour or a little more to Ithaca from here (we were in the area for our daughter's college graduation), with an easy trip over scenic back roads. Absolutely would recommend to anyone looking for a picturesque, private and comfortable spot in the heart of the Finger Lakes.

This is a beautiful apartment! I loved the character of the old home that was updated with modern comfort and decor. The neighborhood is lovely and quiet. It was a great spot from which to explore the Finger Lakes region.

This is by far one of the best Airbnbs that I have stayed in. The location was perfect and the place was clean. It was super cute and perfect for me and my two daughters. The hot tube was an added plus too!! Would absolutely stay there again! The hosts were super friendly and so helpful. They felt like family. ❤️❤️❤️

Our only regret is this: We didn’t have more time to spend relaxing and enjoying Melissa’s place. Melissa is a wonderful host. She met us at the door, showed us around, and left a wonderful variety of treats and thoughtful items like coffee, eggs, oatmeal, and sourdough bread. Her place was spotless, and the beds were so comfortable! I was angry when my alarm went off and I had to get up to leave! Next time in Ithaca, I hope to be able to stay there again.

This location is great! You can walk to many restaurants and Marinas! The house is very new and clean. It was perfect for our family of four. We will definitely stay again in the future.

Th space was immaculate, well maintained, nicely designed as well as decorated. Our only concern was that there was no stove for our teenage son to cook on. There was a microwave and toaster broiler that worked just fine for him. However, the sauna was an amazing perk. The setting was very calm and relaxed. Rachel was an excellent host and left a kind graduation card and bottle of Spumante for us to celebrate our daughter’s college graduation. We would highly recommend this space and would rent again. Thank you, Rachel!

If you're going to Elmira this is the single best place to stay. I think Elmira has a lot of potential, the only negative is it's just starting to go down the road of reaching that potential. This Airbnb and the businesses associated with Rye around it are the people taking those first steps. Stay here, it is incredible. Help these people keep doing what they're doing.

Comfortable space in great neighborhood. I arrived late at night and it was a bit stressful to find the door hidden in a little walkway but after that very easy to get in. The condo was nicely laid out and the location was fun- walkable restaurants and museums. Bathroom sink was clogged but it really didn’t bother me too much. Nice big washer and dryer and air conditioning to make the space very comfortable. It is on the street above lively bar scene but was pretty quiet inside.

Lovely cabin that was perfect for our family! I would definitely come back!

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.

Eileen's place exceeded our expectations. We loved the place and the location. We definitely would come back the next time we were in Syracuse.. We also enjoyed that Phoebes restaurant was so close and the food was good.

This place is wonderful we had an issue with the lock and the guy actually the person actually came out right away was super responsive and helped a great deal with the situation! Thanks, Deepti
