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

Three of us stayed at Peggy’s place for a weekend and my only regret is not booking for longer! The location is a dream—right on the lake and only a few minutes drive from the farmer’s market and other must-see places in Ithaca. I hope to come back!

This place was beautiful! Unfortunately our weather for late May was chilly which is uncommon, so we will be returning when the weather is much nicer!

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*

This place was great! We enjoyed the view of the lake and the dock! The proximity to Ithaca was also a plus. Would definitely stay here again! Dominic and the owners were very responsive and helpful with any questions.

Beautiful location right on Cayuga Lake. Peaceful, quiet, and very comfortable. The hosts were very responsive and provided a lot of information on the local area. We enjoyed our stay very much!

I had a wonderful stay! The host was incredibly communicative and responsive throughout the entire process. He was kind, helpful, and made everything so easy. The place itself was beautiful, comfortable, and exactly as described. It was peaceful and perfect for a relaxing getaway. Highly recommend!

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

absolutely beautiful place. everything was perfect for our little get away. we will definitely be back!

The Silversands lake house was the perfect getaway for our family's trip to Ithaca. It was extremely spacious and our large group had absolutely no issues feeling right at home. Logan was really accommodating and flexible with our group, overall he was such a great host! We'd definitely stay here again if we're ever in Lansing.

We loved this house! Exactly as described. Very clean, well maintained, cute decor with personal touches, but it’s the views that are incredible, beautiful, and peaceful. The location is stunning, and the amazing Taughannock Falls are less than a mile down the road. Andy was responsive, friendly and welcoming. We were in town for college graduation (IC or Cornell are about a 20 minute drive), with parents and grandparents. Was a great spot for all of us. When I asked if there was an iron (had to get those graduation clothes ready!), Andy made sure one was in the house for us when we got there. One thing to know - the beach and the dock are down a steep set of stairs. Andy offered use of his tram if we needed help getting down there, so that’s a nice option. There is a nice grassy area and dock by the water. I highly recommend this place!

The views of the lake were beautiful and so peaceful and private. The home was very comfortable and close to Cornell. Dominic gave great instructions - it was a lovely weekend.

Had a wonderful time at David's lakeside house! Spent a few days here with close friends in conjunction with a reunion. We had a great time sitting out on the back deck chatting, catching up and enjoying the views of the lake while drinking wine. We also very much enjoyed the kayaks that are provided. The house is well provisioned and very comfortable (including the beds). David was a great host and very responsive and flexible.

First time in Ithica, and this was a great place to stay near downtown. We specifically wanted to be on the water, and this place delivered. Very cozy and comfortable house for our family. Looking to come back in the summer and bring our boat and take full advantage of the dock/lake.

Perfect venue for a family occasion.

Loved our stay here! Close to fun wineries, breweries, and even a few restaurants. We enjoyed spending our nights by the outdoor fireplace. Waking up to the sounds of the lake right out our window was awesome.
