Waterfront holiday 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

Joan was an amazing and responsive host! My boyfriend and I stayed here for our 4 year anniversary and college graduation and it was a perfect spot. Amazing wineries ( we loved bully hills as it also had a restaurant) but also amazing ice cream and museums nearby. The place itself was perfect for us two! It’s a studio style but plenty of room as you also have the beautiful dock, fire-pit, and beach style water entrance. As it was too cold for us this time of year, we definitely plan on coming back when it’s warmer to take advantage of the water front access. We highly suggest coming if you’re looking for a get-away, you won’t regret!

Lovely and spacious with a knock out view of the lake from the main bedroom.

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!

Any question I had was answered promptly. Access to the pool, hot tub, and fireplace was a nice touch. It was a secluded area, very quiet and peaceful. Close enough to several places, but not in the hustle and bustle of the main towns.

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.

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!

This little lake house is exactly as described and very convenient to both the lake and the town of Canandaigua. Comfy king bed and a good view. The host will warn you the driveway is steep and they mean it, just a heads up if you have a car with low clearance. Everything was very tidy.

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.

The Blue Star lakefront house was a great and cozy spot to enjoy the weekend on the lake. All the amenities for lakeside activities were right there and there were ample wineries around the lake to explore and try out. Overall very fun time and the hosts were very flexible with checkin and checkout times.

Here’s an updated Airbnb review that includes the host’s responsiveness and their handling of a small issue, while keeping the previous points about the interior, exterior, and lovely views without mentioning sunset views: We had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb! The interior of the house was absolutely gorgeous—beautifully decorated, impeccably clean, and incredibly cozy, making us feel right at home. The host was very responsive to all communications and dealt with a small issue promptly and professionally, which we greatly appreciated. The views from the property were lovely, offering stunning scenery that enhanced our relaxing getaway. While the exterior could use some improvement to match the interior’s charm, it didn’t detract from our overall experience. We highly recommend this place for a comfortable and scenic stay!

Valarie is an excellent host. She was proactive in messaging us to ensure all our questions were promptly answered and needs taken care of. The house is clean, warm, comfortable, and peaceful. We felt right at home. We look forward to staying at here again in the future.

Catharine was an amazing host - very responsive and could answer any question we had during the trip! The place itself was gorgeous and even nicer than the photos! Was here for a bachelorette and the location is perfect to get to the town of Geneva and local wineries! We had a great time. The house felt very private as well. I can’t say enough good things!

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!

This was an amazing place where we felt right at home. The view was breathtaking taking, the pictures didn’t do it justice. Overall this was a great place to stay and we would definitely come back.
