Family-friendly holiday rentals in Cayuga Lake

"Our stay at Alec's place was great! Very spacious, right on Lake Keuka, close to wineries, breweries and distilleries. Alec was very communicative when we had a power outage due to a bad storm, and kept us updated on when it was going to be back on. He was very supportive in answering all of our general questions as well. Highly recommend staying here and would stay here again"

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 had a wonderful trip. The property was huge and private. Zachary was very helpful with our check in when we arrived earlier than expected. He was always friendly very responsive when we had questions.

The place was spacious and relaxing. It had a lot of charm - we loved the old farmhouse feel - and it had everything we needed. I appreciate little things like the electric tea kettle, and that there were extra towels in each bathroom. David was very responsive and helped when we had a small issue, but gave us plenty of space / privacy. We hope to return sometime soon!

The stay at Ferryland was amazing! Ontario lake is such a powerful and beautiful place to be. Jan made the stay possible, easy and comfortable. Will highly consider vacationing again here!!!

It was a beautiful little cabin with everything you could need and want! The breakfast they delivered was delicious! It was an all around easy and peaceful stay!

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.

Oh my goodness, this view is to die for....Dan's house has a huge backyard which slopes towards Seneca Lake, and from the deck you can see not only the lake but so much wildlife: a doe and her fawn showed up several mornings, a fox, so many birds, the pure peaceful setting is absolutely perfect. The house is spacious with 3 bedrooms, a very large kitchen, an equally large living room and 2 full baths. Very tidy and clean, nicely decorated but without clutter... and the location is perfect for exploring the Finger Lakes. Dan is a great host, very communicative, and I would absolutely stay here again.

Being a dog friendly space was very important to us. The backyard was the perfect place for our dog to be let out and for him to explore on his own. Although the space doesn't have AC, or it wasn't on when we were there, it cools off very fast if you leave the door open for a little! Ithaca is a beautiful town with lots to explore, many dog friendly places, and things to do without the pup when the evening calls for it. We recommend this space and the town for a few days get away!

Casey's place was wonderful and she was a helpful host, helping me out of a small snafu I created. The location was amazing, views great, and space very welcoming. While the high temps kept us from exploring as much as we had planned, we got a few walks in around the property and it is a beautiful place to hike, so private and peaceful. Relaxing on the porch reading a book was perfect. And watching a storm roll in and create waves in the fields of tall grass was zen-like. We will be back!

Lisa was an amazing host! The cabin is very well kept and has everything you could need. Beautiful mountain view too! I went for a week of hiking and Lisa’s son left me a whole page length note telling me about great hiking trails around the area and accurate details on how to get there. Great recommendations too! Will definitely stay here again if I return to this area.

Springs Retreat offers a unique, delightful, and heartwarming escape at a stellar location in the Finger Lakes region. Nestled privately behind the main property in a serene wooded area, Springs Retreat is the perfect blend of nature and comfort, with unbelievably accommodating hosts to boot. The tiny cabin is peaceful, cozy, full of rustic charm, and oh so inviting for unwinding. The unfortunate downside is that your stay will eventually come to an end. I would absolutely stay here again and wouldn't flinch recommending it.

Catharine did a fantastic job setting us up with a wonderful home right on Seneca lake. She was verry attentive, and did her best to meet the requests or queries we had. Magnolia is a beautiful property and I would love to go back again. Very close to some local wineries which we indulged ourselves in, the town of Geneva is pretty cool too with some good restaraunts and friendly people. I loved this trip, it was just what we all needed before we start a busy summer season. Thanks again Catharine!

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!

Very cute cabin. We loved stepping out onto the deck and enjoying our morning cup of coffee with the sound of the stream in close proximity and the lovely view of the trees. My husband enjoyed a little fishing on the pond within walking distance of the cabin. As mentioned in the description, it is very close to the road. If you're a light sleeper, take some ear plugs. Also, it is a cabin so note that there may be a critter or 2 inside the cabin and bug bites are very much a part of the experience. I woke up with several bites. The shared bathroom was clean with plenty of towels. The shared kitchen was also helpful. We did cook a little breakfast there every day. Of the 2 cabins available by this host, this one has a little more privacy. All in all, we would love to return in the future. Great hosts.

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.

Gratitude and Grace is an escape from the ordinary. Its a beautiful unique property in the country that was just about perfect for me and 7 bridesmaids for my low key Bachelorette. The grounds are lovely and well maintained, as it is normally a wedding venue. The inside of the mansion is eclectic and vintage. Ron is very nice and accommodating as well. Some things i may improve: Soap was watered down in all bathrooms Beds werent exactly comfortable, they seemed very old. Hot tub was just nice, It didnt get very hot though and the water was a bit cloudy The most comfortable bed is in the tiny rennovated garden shed. Although peaceful, we did have to request it be opened so we had the 8th bed as advertised. 2 girls had to bunk up together the 1st night, no big deal but would have been nice to know the 8th bed wasnt automatically available. The 7th bed is a fun loft with a ladder above a king sized bed. It was cute, but the bed was very uncomfortable so no one wanted it.

This was a terrific stay. The hosts communication from beginning to end was as good as can be expected. The home was cozy and well appointed. The property was beautiful and peaceful. 5 stars, will recommend and return again. Thank you!

Joan and Leo are great hosts. The home and property are beautiful. Home is very spacious and unique. We had such a good time sitting out by the pool, walking the local trails, and just being able to spend quality time together as a family. All the books were fun to look at and read some. All the art work in the home inspired us to leave some of our own art for Joan and Leo.

Thank you, Brenda for sharing your wonderful home which made our trip even more special. With both our kids meeting up with us, the kitchen worked like a charm as they were very excited for a home cooked meal. Also, the description on the website matched very well, and it was clear how much the nightly rate would be beyond the two of us. We would certainly stay again.

Magnificent homestead built in 1855. Beautiful grounds. Loved the animals in the barn. Lovely tennis court and swimming pool. Comfy beds! Martha was totally responsive and helpful. Peaceful and relaxing stay!😊

Thanks so much- we loved our stay!

absolutely amazing! every single aspect of the home was incredible. humongous inside, grand master bed/bath. immaculate accommodations. beautiful backyard! pool, hot tub, the best showers, 3 person sauna worked amazing. tons of space to spread out. our party had 11 people in it and noone was near one another. we all had tons of space. the showers and water pressure was to die for. ill never enjoy a shower as much as I did being here. host was amazing. great communication. very clear and responsive to any questions. by far the best home ive ever stayed in and I'm sure ill never ever find one this amazing again. will 110% return in the future. I wish I could live here!

The place is old, but in beautiful condition. It was a very convenient location for us meeting with local family in the area and close to downtown and the zoo. Unfortunately the weather was still not summertime and the pool was not yet open. We'll have to come back when it's warmer. Plenty of extras in the kitchen. Mark went the extra mile and provided a spare propane tank for the grill, which was a lifesaver, as we had invited family members over and had a full rack of hamburgers and hotdogs to cook.
