Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Cayuga Lake

Our group (4 adults) was staying overnight for an event the next day, and it worked very well for our needs. It is easy to get to and the town was quiet and had very little traffic. The living space was recently remodeled and was very comfortable and clean. The kitchen was nice and allowed us to cook dinner and breakfast easily. I am a bit sensitive to fragrances, so the detergent or softener used on the bed linens bothered me at night, but no one else had any trouble with them, and everything was clean. Bathroom was well stocked and has a vent so it doesn't get too steamy. The only major issue I had is that I'm around 6'2" and the shower head was all the way down by my chin, and my head was almost entirely above the curtain. The tub is also quite a bit narrower than it looks in the pictures, with nothing to hold on to for balance. This makes for a really slow and awkward shower for anyone over 6 feet, but I managed. Host was great! Overall, we enjoyed our stay!

Wonderful hosts, very clear and timely communication. House and location was great for a 3 day weekend trip to Watkins Glen. Would recommend it!

Hidden gem! Located just a short drive outside of Ithaca, you’re never too far from the action, but it’s quiet and peaceful. I have a son attending Ithaca College, so I try to visit every now and again. Check in and check out instructions were very clear. Will definitely look to book this place again the next time I am in the area.

Vernon & Merrie were wonderful hosts and were always very responsive before and during our stay. The house is a perfect fit for 2 families. It is very spacious and we felt like we had 2 homes in 1 with 2 full kitchens. This was a huge plus as our stay was over Thanksgiving and the extra space with 2 refrigerators, multiple ovens, etc… all came in handy. The house is very well stocked and it’s clear the hosts put a great deal of care and thought into creating a great vacation for their guests. Highly recommend!

I will definitely go back such a lovely house super clean I love it

Loved our stay at Joan’s place. My two daughters and I were in town for my daughters 21st birthday, her place was close enough to some many places that we had an abundance of options to choose from. Her place is very peaceful ! The weather didn’t corporate for us but we still managed to get in a nice 10 minute walk to the Lake from her place. The house had everything we needed for a weekend stay , including games and cards which we did use ! She is very thoughtful and kind adding a few personal touches and she made checking in and out pleasant !! Her place was the perfect size for us and although we didn’t get a chance to use the yard , deck or fire pit it’s all definitely an added bonus! Would recommend and would stay again.

Chelsey offers a nice place in a great location on a quiet street. She was very helpful and quick to reply to questions. I would definitely come back. Thanks!

This 100+ year-old farmhouse is full of charm, character, and thoughtful touches—plus all the modern comforts. It had everything our family of three needed for the perfect Easter getaway. Bird watchers and bookworms will be in heaven! Pro tip: arrive before dark—we didn’t, and the unfamiliar countryside gave us spooky vibes. But by morning, we were in love! Set on a peaceful stretch of woods, it’s only 15 minutes from Wegmans. Fresh flowers in every room, cozy couches, and the most beautifully decorated Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. It felt like a well-loved home, not just a rental. A bay window offers views of chipmunks, squirrels, turkeys, and if you're lucky, maybe even a fisher! Watching my son hunt for Easter eggs around the pond while we sipped coffee on the porch is a memory I’ll cherish forever. Thank you, Jason (and kudos to his wife, the decorator!) for creating such a magical stay. We were sad to leave and toyed with adding another day, or two...hope to return!

“An exceptional retreat with everything you need for a relaxing stay. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the essentials to actually cook, and the thoughtful design extends to the outdoor patio, where we enjoyed using the grill. The hosts were absolutely wonderful—attentive and welcoming—and the location is perfect, right in the heart of the entertainment district. I stayed here with my 13-year-old twins, and we found it to be incredibly quiet and peaceful. We’re truly grateful for such a fantastic experience and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a high-end stay.

Clean, comfortable, home away from home. Stayed only one night but it was just what we needed. Great location for accessing the Finger Lakes. Chris was responsive, welcoming, and made everything easy!

It was a perfect place to stay for our mother & daughter weekend exploring Watkins Glenn and surrounding area(waterfalls, hiking, wineries, breweries, lakes).Can easily walk into town to shops, restaurants and WG state park. Apartment is fully stocked with all needed for our stay. It is a super cozy, comfortable & clean. Host is very helpful & responsive. It was a perfect fall getaway. Hope to return in the future.

We felt very comfortable at Arnaud's place. The apartment was exactly as described. Everything I needed in the kitchen/bathroom/bedroom/living room was magically there, not to mention the fresh eggs. Both Arnaud and Dave were very responsive to all of my questions and friendly. We loved the hot tub as much as our puppy loved the beautiful and fully fenced in yard. My 7yo daughter loved scootering down street to an ice cream place, as well as to a park with a playground. I wished I had my bike on me since Finger Lakes Trail was just a short walk away. It was a great stay.

Ron's place was cute with an amazing location. There are so many nice touches to the house. The host left drinking water, treats, coffee related stuff and even candles. Everything you can think of is in the apartment. He also was a great communicator and always available to help. The bed is super comfy as well. I would recommend this place to all who are visiting the Watkins glen area ( maybe 2 friends or couples) and we will Be back.

Outstanding host with key features for an elegant and relaxing weekend with the partner. The coffee machine was stocked and ready. Lots of generous perfume and cologne for us to try from Heather. Awesome stay would come again !!

We enjoyed being able to come and go while taking in the historical and cultural offerings of Auburn. We’ll be back!

the hosts are so warm and welcoming! They think of everything you might need while on vacation! The location is great, close to Watkins Glen!

We’ve stayed at Mary and Scott’s Airbnb before and it was just as beautiful as the first time. Would definitely recommend this to anyone

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.

From the second we turned onto the driveway we knew we were exactly where we wanted to be. We spend our couple days exploring Grays Property looking for wildlife and letting our dogs enjoy being outside! The inside was absolutely perfect as well. We were so sad that we had to leave but we will certainly be back someday! Thank you Gray sharing this little piece of perfection you have created!

This is my 2nd time staying here. Very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended if you are looking for a short fishing get away. The lakes are very short drive away!!!! All around great place and person.

What a great little cabin in the woods! Plenty of peace and privacy. The fireplace was an absolute treat at the end of a long day of hiking. Within driving distance of some really beautiful sites or a great place to just relax and enjoy some quiet time.

This is the perfect stay for hiking nearby state parks of New York and winery hopping on the wine trail! Amber’s cabin was clean, cozy, and a great location for everything we wanted to do. Although the cabin does have limited amenities, the bed was comfy to sleep in and the mini-fridge was a savior! We used the bonfire outside, which did have chairs provided, and it was so peaceful and homey. Both of us felt very safe and secluded in this cabin. The walk to the bathroom/shower is short and clean! Both Watkins Glen and Buttermilk State Parks are a 30 minute drive and Taughannock State Park is a 15 minute drive from this spot. There are TONS of wineries anywhere from 5-30 minutes away, which is perfect for hopping! Amber was a great host because she was responsive and provided us first timers to the finger lakes some recommendations that we tried and were not disappointed in! Overall, we highly recommend Amber and her cabin. If we ever go back, we would definitely stay here again! :)

What a gorgeous spot! The location feels very private, but it’s only a 5-minute drive to Weis Winery. The cabin itself is beautiful and was very comfortable for two moms who needed a break. Thank you!!

Such a beautiful spot to relax and take in the Finger Lakes region! The home is gorgeous, amenities pristine and the personal touches such as s’more fixins and coffee were so appreciated. It is off the beaten path of the main wine trails and that is exactly what we were looking for! We got to explore a hike or a few wineries and then head back to the peace and quiet and enjoy our wine in the comfort of the home. Our kids loved exploring the trails on the property, the game room was such a perfect bonus and Naples has such good restaurants and wineries/breweries that we didn’t have to travel to more populated areas unless we wanted. Perfect for families as the streaming tv, game room and kids area on a different floor allowed for our kids to have a blast and us parents to watch a movie and read upstairs. Perfect setup. Such a recharging and beautiful trip! We hope to be back!
