Cottage holiday rentals in Tompkins County

Our family had a wonderful stay at Alycia's home. The house is right on the lake, peaceful, quiet with beautiful views! Very well appointed with everything we needed for our stay. We explored Geneva, Watkins Glen and Penn Yan. Hiked the Gorge Trail and visited Seneca Falls. Both were amazing! Our host Alycia was very helpful, responsive and went above and beyond. We highly recommend this house for small groups and families and hope to return someday.

Nice setting easy to get to all activities we were looking to do like Watkins glen and wineries. Tony provided detailed instructions and gave good recommendations!

Thank you for our wonderful stay this weekend. Your place is the quintessential lake cottage. Everything we needed was supplied and at our fingertips, without being overrun with “stuff.” Well-maintained, clean, and comfortable. It was a cool, rainy weekend and we took full advantage of the bedroom fireplaces and extra blankets! Would love to come back to enjoy summer-time at your place. Thank you!

What a beautiful property right on the lake! We had such a lovely time, the place is well equipped with anything you might need and is very close to lots of restaurants, breweries, and wineries. We can’t wait to come back, highly recommend!

Very beautiful home! Amazing view of the lake, along with nice amenities and plenty of space!!! Very update to date and clean home and a perfect place to stay , especially for a weekend getaway!!

I would definitely stay here again. The place was safe. The yard was fenced. The entire home was well stocked. I truly felt at home.

The location was perfect to attend a wedding at Fountainbleu Inn (just a short walk to venue). Also, the location next to lake was wonderful. We had plenty of bedrooms with linens/towels and extras like trash bags, paper towels, toiletries, dish soap etc was very nice. The kitchen had what we needed to cook for 10+ people, except crock pot and griddle (which we brought from home). We enjoyed the hot tub and used the propane grill on the large deck. The owner stays close by and was in communication often.

We have stayed at this house multiple times. It is our home away from home at the Finger Lakes. You can’t beat the location! The house is absolutely perfect. It is a wonderful getaway. I can’t recommend it enough.

Mary was an incredibly gracious and accommodating host. She has a lovely cottage amidst a very private section of the lake and we felt we had all we needed to enjoy our peaceful retreat.

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.

This lakefront cottage was in a beautiful location and directly on the water, so you could go to sleep and wake up to the peaceful sounds of the lake. Every bit of space was used efficiently, resulting in the place feeling roomier than you may think at first glance. It was even pet-friendly with our dog finding a nice spot right by the door where he could watch all the happenings on the lake no matter what the weather! Thanks for a great weekend stay!

Jesse’s place was the perfect cozy-with-a-view getaway. Ideal location, relaxing, well-designed and stocked. Jesse was eager to offer suggestions and very responsive. Hope to visit again!

Unfortunately we didn’t get to stay for long, we just needed a place to stop for the night, but Michele’s place was so beautiful and cozy we will definitely be back if we’re visiting the area again

We loved the cabin spent Mothers Day weekend with my family and Grandkids...we definitely would stay again the view is beautiful and the sunset everything meant all our needs

Thank you for letting us stay at your lovely house! We had the best time. The location is perfect, the house was so clean and the view was stunning. We highly recommend this lovely lake house!

Another great stay at this perfect home away from home. Nancy has thought of everything you and your pup will need for an incredibly comfortable vacation on the lake. There is a ton to do and explore in the surrounding area. Some of the highlights this year were the Geneva Lake trail, Grounded (cute cafe that allows dogs inside or out!), The Spotted Duck (amazing ice cream and they offer pup cups), Billsboro winery (chocolate truffle & wine pairing, also dog friendly), and Dean Lane Dining (no pets) in Dundee. And then there’s the magic of sunrise from Nancy’s deck and evenings just watching fish jumping, birds flying, and ducks swimming, all from the glider on the dock. Simple pleasures abound here.

We loved our stay. The yard was great to walk our dog. Janette and family, including pets, were very friendly!

The view from this place is absolutely stunning. It's a rustic house, with lots and lots of steps, but the waterfront location makes it 100% worth it. It's only a short drive into downtown Ithaca and to Cornell's campus. It was a little too chilly to take advantage of the water sports provided, but we appreciated that it was there! Just a tip to future guests - I would recommend bringing your own coffee grounds (this is not provided, but filters are) and buying extra drinking water before your stay as the jug provided was not enough for 2 people.

Nice cosy house extension, right next to waterfall, very comfy. Close to Ithaca commons (5 min drive), groceries, bakeries etc.

Our only regret is that we didn’t discover Will’s place on the lake when our son matriculated at Cornell rather than his graduation. We’ve stayed at all of the highly rated hotels/inns in town and rank this one #1. Recommend without hesitation.

It was a very nice cabin with a beautiful backyard and very close to the inn and falls at Taughannock

What a wonderful stay at Sioux's place on Cayuga Lake! Attentive and very experienced host has thought of every detail to make a stay relaxing and carefree! Kayaks, paddleboards, books & games, wifi, AC, gas grills. Sweeping lake views can be enjoyed from the dock, deck, or living room. The cottage interior has been beautifully and lovingly modernized —new bathroom is gorgeous!—while maintaining the charm of lake living. Location can't be beat. Great wineries, ice creamery, coffee, shopping, and dining in nearby Trumansburg or Ithaca. We WILL be back!

Really appreciate the host's flexibility with our check in time. Place was perfect for our group and more private than expected. Loved the dock, lawn area and fire pit. Would love to go back again

A lovely place to stay and get away from the ho hum of life. We especially enjoyed the living room with amazing sound quality speakers for movie nights and music! The grill and firepit were also very enjoyable to use.
