Holiday rentals with a kayak in Cortland County

This cottage is awesome-such a classic! You are truly surrounded by water on three sides. It is quiet and private. We spent most of our time on the enclosed wrap-around porch; the place is a gem!

The house was comfortable and the water views were peaceful.

We loved this warm and cozy home and felt right at home. The decor is beautiful and it has all the comfort one could ask for. We enjoyed using the funicular to go down to the lake. Very safe and convenient! Pauley was super responsive and friendly and would love to come back in future.

Susan’s Airbnb was incredible! The view is beautiful and our son really enjoyed seeing the wildlife outside. The space was clean and well organized, and very comfortable. Also, Susan went above and beyond to help make sure our visit went well. I highly recommend staying here!

This was a great house in a great location. Communication from owners was excellent, and house was well set up for guests. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful and comfortable lake house with a gorgeous view and easy access to the lake! The kitchen was was well stocked with ample space for our family. We woke up every morning to the sounds of the birds and the water. Carolyn's suggestions for things to do and places to eat were spot on. We loved the hike at Robert Treman state park, walking around the botanic gardens and a visit to the bird lab at Sapsucker woods. Dinner at Hazelnut Kitchen was a delicious treat as well as ice cream at the Cornell Dairy Barn. Overall, I highly recommend this house if you want a peaceful and restorative vacation.

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.

We absolutely loved our stay at the treehouse! It was so cozy and had the most amazing views! The house had everything we needed and I’d definitely recommend this house for a group of friends! Thank you for everything!

This location is beautiful! Right on the lake. Easy to go down the stairs to the water. Randall was an excellent host and very responsive. The home is lovely and well kept. We had everything we needed. The hot tub was perfect! We used the canoe and kayaks and had a wonderful time on the lake. We would most definitely rent this again and we’ll keep it on our list! Highly recommend!

We loved our stay. Everything was just as described. We would definitely stay here again! David and Betsy were extremely accommodating and the bottle of local wine was a really nice touch! Thank you!

Great time on the Lake. Had horrible cold rainy weather (haha June 1 mind u) but still managed to have a good time. Jesse is a responsive caring host who has a great little cabin (camp) directly on a very beautiful lake.

This rental was super cute and comfortable right on the water. We had a girls weekend and had everything we needed at Courtney's place. The cottage overlooks the water and it is a beautifully clear lake. Beds were very comfortable and everything was neat and clean. There are a few set of stairs to get down to the cottage along with stairs to access the downstairs living quarters/bedroom so just be aware of that. We saw Eagles over the water and heard owls at night...very peaceful and private. Tons to do in the town of Skaneateles as well and lots of great restaurants. We would certainly recommend this rental to anyone and are looking forward to coming back!

Frederic's home was lovely, but what stood out was the beautiful lakefront with private dock. Frederic was very easy to work with and extremely responsive to all my questions.

We loved this little lake house, so charming and cozy. The place was easy to find and located in a nice lake community with lots to do near by

Beautiful location! Kitchen and living room space wonderful with great views of the lake. Lots of stairs to get in and out, since it’s nestled on the slope near the docks, but we got our steps in! Also located close to the scenic falls and parks, and very convenient to Cornell Campus and downtown Ithaca. Host was super too. We had everything we needed and more.

Great location and had all the essentials we could need!

Nancy’s cottage was perfect for our little family of 4. We enjoyed card games on the back porch, meals al fresco w a beautiful lake view, and of course roasting marshmallows in the fire pit at sunset. The cottage was intimate and cozy and we hope to return on a regular basis. Thank you Nancy for being inviting and more than accommodating.

I grew up on this lake and I still own property there. Mine needs to be rebuilt so it was great to stay at hers. She has a great spot on the lake. Great fishing right off her docks to. Will stay again!

This was our second time staying here and they didn’t disappoint! We had such an amazing weekend. I told suzi it was my girlfriend’s birthday and she went above and beyond for us. Not only do we love this place but I feel like we made friends with these guys and literally couldn’t think of a single thing they could do better. 10/5 stars without a doubt. Look forward to going back in the future!!

This was our second time now staying at Sherrys beautiful cabin. We love it here and we can’t wait to come back again soon. We are making this a tradition in our family coming to this amazing property. We had the most peaceful and wonderful weekend here and our dogs absolutely loved being off leash, exploring 200 private acres of land and swimming in the gorgeous pond. Thank you for having us and we can’t wait to come back.

Heather’s s place has great views and a very peaceful atmosphere. A great place to relax after exploring the surrounding areas. We enjoyed a day hanging out close by and had a nice time on the lake in the kayaks provided. The screened in area was a great place to relax and enjoy the wildlife. We really enjoyed our time here! Heather and David were very accommodating hosts.

The cabin is a wonderful get away!!! The description cannot do it justice. The surroundings, the forest and lakes are beautiful. Christine and her parents are great hosts!!! The cabin doesn’t have plumbing or electricity. However, there is everything you need. There are battery powered lights, generators, a functional toilet, a sink with pressured water. There is a wood burning furnace with an oven above. Christine provided lots of wood for the stove to keep warm in the winter. There is a Coleman stove and a bbq. The cabin is a beautiful tranquil and rustic getaway. Perfect spot to rest or write or read. Lots of walking and outdoors activities around. We also did the sauna and ice water plunge which were an amazing experience!!! Would 100% go back.

We had everything we could have needed and then some. Wonderful, peaceful, and quiet location with some fun hiking nearby. Fishing off the dock was a lot of fun. We caught many fish and our daughter was thrilled! Followed instructions to pick up groceries beforehand and that worked well as it's a bit of a drive to stores. Suited us just fine. A great way to enjoy nature and still feel at a home away from home. Thank you for the opportunity!

Overall, had a nice stay with my bf and our dog. There is a lot to do in the cabin. The property is beautiful, private and bigger than it looks in the photos. I was initially confused about the layout but there is one bedroom with a full bed and an adjoining small room. Two small bedrooms next to those 1 with bunk beds and one with a single. Everything is on one level, except for the small loft room with a great view overlooking the cabin. Overall, the photos are accurate. Some furniture is different or moved around but the amenities match the photos. The back porch is nice for looking out at the river. Canoes, kayaks, and life jackets for the river. The path to the water is a bit steep and was muddy at the bottom due to the rain. Be mindful about that. My only "negative" comment is it is very drafty. Its like a fancy summer camp cabin. On a cool rainy weekend we couldn't get the cabin over 62F with the fireplace and propane heater. Steve was very helpful and responded quickly to Q's.
