Waterfront holiday rentals in Tompkins County

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

Shawn's place was a perfect lakefront retreat! Quick and easy communication. Photos were perfect. Clean and well stocked. Quiet and comfortable. There was a nice beach area, dock area to fish, and a kayak to use. Just a few minutes outside of town. I highly recommend to anyone staying near Ithica that wants to be lakefront.

A small, cozy apartment with a spectacular view of Lake Seneca. The location was perfect for visiting wineries, breweries and taking in the foliage. We found the apartment to have all that we needed and was neat and clean. Mr. Lester lives above the apartment and he made sure we had all we needed and gave us our privacy. Kimberly was quick to respond whenever we had a question. Although this was a small apartment for the four of us( 2 couples), it was the perfect spot to rest for the next day.

The location was private, but still only a walk or short drive away from where we wanted to go. Conor was also very responsive if we needed anything during our stay.

The apartment was very sufficient for our needs and was clean. The location and people were the real magic of this place! Alex, Angie, and the staff, especially Jen, Bob and Amanda are some of the friendliest and coolest people you will ever meet. We made some forever friends here. It was our first time to the area so having the restaurant and bar, where you get 25% off, and meeting all sorts of interesting people as well as the fabulous staff allowed us to have a unique and amazingly fun experience! Thanks to the highly social atmosphere we found out the best places to go for hikes, waterfalls, restaurants and vineyards as well as other hidden gems that most tourists wouldn’t know about. The lake is amazing for boating, fishing and swimming and they have free Kayaks too. The food and drinks here are also delicious thanks to the smoki’n skills(ribs, brisket) of Chef Bob, & the mixology mastery of Anika! Alex and his staff went above and beyond for us and we will definitely be back! 5*

David & Debby are wonderful hosts! We had a cold and rainy weekend for our stay, but their cozy home was just perfect to keep us warm and snug. Comfy beds, squeaky clean, and such a beautiful view. We will definitely be back!

Chance was very nice and hospitable. The place was very peaceful and quiet. Pool and hot tub area is very nice, weather wasn’t good so we didn’t get to enjoy it as much as we wanted. I would definitely stay here again.

Absolutely beautifully charming and private. My son, pug and I all loved our brief stay.

Andy's place was the perfect spot for our ladie's weekend! The house is so nice-clean, quiet, all the amenities, comfortable beds and an amazing view! Andy gave us great recommendations for food and wineries nearby. He responded right away and was super helpful! I highly recommend his place when visiting the area, it's peaceful and cozy, but near everything! We had so much fun, thanks again Andy!

Wonderful home and location. Wished the weather would have been nicer the weekend we were there to take advantage of the lovely lakeside accommodations. Was very easy to get to Cornell and downtown for our functions. Hope to stay again! Thank you.

This place has a sweeping lake view from a bay front window, a patio, both queen bedrooms, another patio and the dock. the picture don't do it justice. The dock has a picnic table - if you're not using it, you're missing out! There's two single person kayaks and a double kayak, as well as a a stand-up paddle board, which makes this place an amazing value and are close enough to Ithaca (about a mile) that you could reasonably paddle to a landing at Truman Marine Park or Stewart Park. This place is down approximately 90 steps - pack light.

Very helpful and attentive host. One of my best Airbnb host experiences yet. Absolutely stunning lakefront location! Everything you need is right there. Beautiful property, great views. Highly recommend!

We loved our stay on the lake. The house was as described and had everything we needed and more. We enjoyed having use of the kayaks and waking up to beautiful views of the lake. I hope we can stay again!

This is a great location for a weekend spent visiting Ithaca, Cornell, enjoying the Apple Festival, and seeing all the gorges and the waterfalls. The leaves are turning and the fall colors are spectacular. We even went swimming in the chilly lake!

Maxime was great - very polite and attentive host, and the house was perfect for our needs, very well equipped and comfortable. Also a great view of Cayuga lake. The location is ideal for Cornell/Ithaca (so long as you have a car). Highly recommend.

Robert’s place was a wonderful home for a family lake getaway! You could tell the family actually lived there at one time because it was well stocked in the bathrooms and kitchen. We loved the hot tub ( with towels) and closeness to the lake as well as walking to Stewart park all with just one flight of steps from the car to the house. We didn’t get to use the kayaks due to the wind, but they had been cleaned and were ready to use. The parking was a bit tricky, so take Noah up on his offer to direct you at check in. Overall, we had a great visit and are talking about going back next spring!
