Try the Italian restaurant Venice. " - "Nicole was the best hostess!!! Loved it there and so convenient to walk into town for dinner and drinks!! The inn is gorgeous!! Thanks again!!!" - "Booked a room here as a stopover while visiting the area. I would definitely return. The house has been beautifully and thoughtfully restored and it’s clear that the owners thought about every detail. Check in was seamless and all the amenities were spelled out in the instructions. LOVED the record player in the library, as well as the honor bar. I stayed in Room 3, which was absolutely lovely. I enjoyed the fireplace, the jetted tub, and the heated floor. I think I may have been the only guest that night, and didn’t mind it at all. My stay was peaceful, relaxing, and luxurious. The outdoor fountain was even visited by a young doe while I was there. Perfect and quaint. Of note, check out what’s in the area in advance, as not all of the restaurants are open seven days per week. But that didn’t pose an issue for me at all."

Located on a quiet side road 30 min from Ithaca and 5 min from Treleaven Winery, our four season lakehouse is ideal for family time at the lake or a romantic getaway. The house is comfortable and thoughtfully furnished. With a sunny flat yard, hot tub, deck, new lakeside shack, kayaks, long dock, shady grass patio by the water, fire pit and rec room, there are lots of spaces to spread out. We face the afternoon sun and sunsets, and have deep, clear water. Sit by the lake and feel your blood pressure drop! New pictures coming in May...

Our cottage was built in 1951 and is 1100 square feet. We bought it in 2020 and spent over a year and a half remodeling every room, converting the wood floor garage into a recreation room, and building a new lakeside shack by the shore. We've tried for the "looks like its always been there" design approach and used sustainable materials and energy options.

The living room looks out to the lake with a large window and is open the kitchen. It has ductless heat pump/air conditioning and a pellet stove. The kitchen is fully supplied, including a dishwasher. Next to the living room is a dining area and den/TV room, which has a new high quality queen size sleeper sofa and curtains to create privacy. The main bedroom has a new queen size bed and a large window facing the lake, and the second bedroom has two twin size beds with new mattresses. The bathroom has a shower/tub combination and there is a washer and dryer. We have drinkable filtered well water.

In the back yard we have a hot tub and a new deck with a table, chairs and gas grill. The flat yard is a nice place for yard games and we have a fire pit with supplied wood. There are about twenty steps to reach the shoreline area, which is very few compared with most Cayuga lake properties.

The converted recreation room has a ping pong table, couch and chair, "vintage" boombox, and board games.

At the shore there is a nice shady area in the summer for sitting and the new shack with a mini fridge, cozy/romantic lighting, couch and table. The dock extends out to a deep section of the lake and is wonderful for jumping into the water. We have kayaks, paddle boards and life vests for guests to use. (Not available late Nov. through April for cold water safety)

The neighbors along the lake are a nice community of people that know each other well. There are a couple neighbor's dogs that are allowed to wander around off leash. They are friendly, but you may encounter them occasionally in the yard.

- "What a cute little cottage in a perfect location. Beautiful view of the water. Fall colors starting to show, enjoyed the hot tub! Cozy little boathouse to watch the sunsets! Perfect!!" - "From beginning to end this was a very positive experience. First, communication with owner was excellent, very prompt and complete answers. Cottage was very well equipped and views/sunsets are spectacular. Visited wineries and several waterfalls." - "The home is lovely and well appointed making for a comfortable vacation in a special setting. The evident recent updates have been done with style and good taste. The kitchen is complete with new appliances and well stocked with quality wares. After a day of lake fun, we were able to enjoy some TV time. The set up allows one to sign in to their own streaming account as we did on Netflix. Among the many modern ammenities you will find very efficient and quiet air conditioners and family size washer/dryer. The week went by too fast and it was difficult to say goodbye."

Located on the Cayuga Wine Trail and 8 miles to the Seneca Wine Trail. Travel down a long gravel driveway to a modern cottage hidden back in the trees. Enjoy peaceful campfires, relax in the hot tub with a glass of wine, or watch Netflix and Disney plus on the 50” smart tv. There are also board games, crossword puzzles, and card games at the cottage if you prefer to stay in. Beautiful open floor plan with fully equipped kitchen for your cooking needs. Kitchen features a coffee bar with a Keurig and complimentary k-cups(coffee, decaf, cocoa, and tea) along with sugar, sugar substitutes, sugar free flavors, and creamers to make your favorite cup of joe.
The cottage has a well, because it is so far back from the road, so once in a while there may be some smell from the water. We do use special water filters so the water is good to drink, cook, and bathe in. We have a Brita water filtration pitcher and bottled water if guests prefer.
For the wine and beer enthusiasts you could stay for weeks and still not manage to visit all the wide array of wineries and breweries in the area! Don’t worry though, we are taking the liberty of providing a detailed list for you at the cottage.
There are plenty of activities to do in the area too. Located on the Cayuga snow mobile trail if guests want to bring their sleds with them to ride. Sheldrake and Deans Cove public boat launches are minutes away for boating enthusiasts. Boat rentals are available in the area. Taughannak Falls and Seneca State Park offer hiking trails and beach swimming. Sampson State Park has miles of bike paths to enjoy. There are also many golf courses in the area. Deer Haven Park offers tours to observe the biggest herd of white deer around protected by 24 miles of fencing.
Other area attractions within an hour of the cottage include Bristol Mountain Ski Resort, Greek Peak Indoor Water Park, Watkins Glen International Raceway, Cayuga Lake Boat Cruises, Museum of the Earth, Waterloo Premium Outlet Mall, and the Del Lago Casino.

- "The Cloud Wine cottage was amazing! Great location in between Cayuga and Seneca Lake so you get to experience all that the Finger Lakes has to offer! Super-clean, amenities were fantastic! You don‘t have to pack your kitchen and bathroom for your stay or overspend on little things like coffee, spices, kitchen accessories, etc. Fantastic deck, hot tub and fire pit! Communication with Amanda was great and easy! We will definitely be back!" - "Had a great couple days at this site. The owners thought of everything. House was stocked with games, coffee, water, toiletries. Even tooth brushes if we needed. They also left a great binder of information. For us. The property was right in the center of the Cayuga wine trail, which made it easy to tour all of the wineries. A soak in the hot tub at the end of the night was the icing on the cake! Great property!! We’d definitely book again!"

A private country cottage above Sheldrake Creek features open floor plan, 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths and a loft.

Scenic walking, biking, boating and jogging locations abound in the immediate and nearby area, only a half hour's drive to Taughannock Falls and the Ithaca Gorges, Seneca Falls and the Women's Hall of Fame, local Amish Farm Stores, breweries and distilleries. Our location is convenient to both Cayuga and Seneca Lake Wine, Cheese, and Art Trails. Owner lives close by to assist with all your needs. NO CLEANING FEES makes this an economical choice for the savvy traveler!

- "Thus far the experience has been great. The cottage is quaint, cozy, clean and has a kitchen that carries most of what is needed. Very quiet and a great getaway if you are looking just to slow down the pace. Downstairs bed is very comfortable. TV in living room is equipped with all the apps. The grocery store in Ovid is very meh but it is close; however, there are Wegmans stores in nearby Geneva and Auburn and they are PHENOMENAL (on par with or exceeding Heinen's in Ohio or Publix in Florida). Not alot of sit down food options nearby; again, you may need to travel to Geneva, Trumansburg, Ithaca, Watkins Glen etc for more dine-in options. Make sure to check out the Samich shop in Ovid on 96 across from the gas station. Phenomenal meat ball subs and lunch fare. Overall, I would rate this 5/5 thus far."

Classic lake cottage sitting right on beautiful Cayuga Lake in the heart of the NY wine region. Wake to the sounds of the lake lapping just below you! Several decks, fire pit, kayaks and SUP for your use! Walk to Sheldrake Point Winery or O'Malley's restaurant! Just 30 minutes from Ithaca, Watkins Glenn or Seneca Falls. Location can't be beat!

- "Place was cute and very clean!!! Bed comfy. Location and water/deck/fire pit areas were fantastic!!! Looking forward to returning in the future. One suggestion is the small tv is on a stand in the kitchen/dining table open area and couch is facing the other way...maybe if possible move tv so if you sit on the couch you can comfortably watch. Thank you." - "Location was perfect, and cottage was exceptional. Would definitely recommend!!"

Small cottage in the quaint village of Interlaken with modern country finishes, located on a beautiful babbling brook in the heart of the Finger Lakes. If you stay in we have a hot tub and if you want to go out, it's a ten minute drive to both the Seneca and Cayuga wine trails!

Location:
The Interlaken Cottage is merely 10 minutes from both the Seneca and Cayuga wine trails, so you don't have to choose! It is located in a quaint village with a convenience store in walking distance. What makes the cottage most special is the precious brook running through the property.

The House:
The house is quiet and comfortable. It is furnished to be cozy, yet modern, with every detail thought through.

We love sharing our vacation home with family, so we have plenty of places to sleep. There are two queen beds upstairs, the couch folds out to a full sized bed, a queen sized air mattress, and a fun futon for a child.

Dog Friendly:
The best part about the Finger Lakes is that almost every winery is dog-friendly! So you get to bring your dog just about everywhere. There are dog bowls provided. We don't currently have a fence on the property. Sorry, no cats.

The Creek:
The creek is very charming and not very deep in most parts. However, it's quite rocky, so we urge you to be very cautious with children and pets - never leave them alone in or near the creek. It's also very dangerous after a rainfall.

A note on cleaning fees:
* We charge a cleaning fee. This fee offsets our costs for turning over the cottage in between stays. We do not enter the house once you have checked in (unless there is an emergency or you ask us to).
* Charging this fee allows us to be flexible in stay length. Having a one-time fee incentivizes longer stays, and makes a one-night stay worth the extra effort!
* We only have ONE chore - we ask that you take the trash to the curb if you're staying there on trash day! Otherwise NO CHORES - no need to vacuum, do laundry, strip beds. We provide light cleaning materials in case there's a spill.

- "Only 2 complaints, backyard really needed to be mow was pretty high and listed gas grill we brought food for grilling and there was only charcoal grill with no charcoal. House was in a very quiet neighborhood. It was very clean inside and very nice. Would definitely stay again." - "We stayed here as a small group of 4 for a bachelorette weekend. The house was beautiful and perfect for us. They had enough towels and robes for us to use. The hot tub was so nice and relaxing in the cool evening. The house is located a quick and easy drive from the vineyards. Lots of fun!"

The Basswood Cabin is a dog-friendly cabin with a kitchenette, 2 BR (one queen and bunk beds), and sleeps 3 comfortably.

The Mill Creek Cabins experience is quite unique and special. As you arrive, you'll pass wineries, the beautiful Finger Lakes (either Seneca or Cayuga), Amish buggies, and finally you'll find the Cabins among the Finger Lakes National Forest. Check-in is a breeze and you'll notice that you are one of only three groups who are enjoying the property. You'll start your evening by grilling up some burgers and enjoying the porch. You might take a dip in the hot tub before settling in by the fire pit. Plenty of firewood and charcoal are available for purchase.

When you wake up the next morning, Mary from Taste of Wine Country Cafe will deliver your breakfast. Not a morning person? She'll drop the order on your front porch and you can get it when you roll out of bed. Coffee maker comes with coffee, creamer and sugar. If you are a morning person, maybe you'll enjoy a hike! There's a one mile path around the perimeter of the 40 acre property.

There's so much to do in the Finger Lakes during the day. Lodi is located between Seneca and Cayuga lakes. Mill Creeks Cabins is surrounded by the Finger Lakes National Forest. While it feels completely remote, the beginning of the Seneca Wine trail is less than 5 miles (9 minutes) away. When you get back, you might take advantage of the yard games like volleyball, yard darts, bocce ball, and croquet. After all that activity, you'll probably want to settle in with a movie - each cabin has access to Netflix, Hulu and Disney +, and you can sign into any of your own systems. Or, go a little retro and watch a DVD!

Amenities:
-Hot breakfast delivered between 8-9 am each morning
-Pet-friendly
-Kitchenette
-Fire pit (firewood available for purchase)
-Charcoal Grill (charcoal available for purchase)
-Hot Tub (private, outdoor, open year round)
-Coffee bar, with coffee, cream and sugar provided

A note on cleaning fees:
* We charge a cleaning fee. This fee offsets our costs for turning over the cabin and the hot tub in between stays. We do not enter the cabin once you have checked in (unless there is an emergency or you ask us to).
* Charging this fee allows us to be flexible in stay length. Having a one-time fee incentivizes longer stays, and makes a one-night stay worth the extra effort!
* We are CHORE-FREE! No chore list upon checkout. You do not have to vacuum, do laundry, take out the trash, or strip the beds. We provide light cleaning materials in case there's a spill.

- "Our goal for this trip was to revisit the Finger Lakes area in upstate NY to see the peak fall foliage; hike to see some of the beautiful waterfalls; bike a rails-to-trail distance; walk our small pups on a trail; enjoy the scenery & local cuisine; and just relax. This cabin-in-the-woods accommodation was perfect for all of the above! We knew there would be some driving for 20-30 minutes each day, but that wasn’t a problem given the scenery! So much to see & partake. The cabin offered what we needed for comfort & convenience efficiently. There was ample space for us. The propane stove worked well on the very chilly mornings. The daily offered breakfast was just what we needed to start our day:) The hot tub was an added bonus. Our pups looked forward to a daily walk on the grassy trails beyond the three cabins. We appreciate that extra perk. We would definitely recommend the cabin! Best to use Siri to navigate in the area if not familiar with it. Super communication from the host! Response time was very fast. Thank you for the experience!"

- "Would definitely stay here again. Cute little camp with different cabins, yurts and campers. We were a short walk from the lake. We used the paddle boards and kayaks and had a blast on the water. Pet friendly! Quiet location. Short drive to wineries." - "Our family really enjoyed our stay in Cabin 8. The cabin itself had 4 beds, a small kitchen and bathroom with stand-up shower. It served our needs perfectly. The WiFi was very good. It's a short walk down to the beach on Cayuga Lake via a staircase where they had countless kayaks, paddle boards, rafts and life jackets. The beach was by far our family's favorite part. The views were amazing and the water was perfect. Check-In and Check-out was a breeze. We really hope to come back again! Thank you!"

Yes, its in the middle of nowhere (which freaked my teen kids out a bit, lol) but it was just what we were looking for. Beautiful inside, bathroom is stunning for a small cabin and quiet! We were able to enjoy some relaxing family time with a wide variety of games are hosts had available. Our hosts was easy to communicate with and the process was simple. My wife and I will be back at some point, with or without kids! "

Would definitely stay here again." - "Great location, very nice property, great communication." - "Sublime sunsets indeed! The location is spectacular; with a great screened porch and deck for enjoying Cayuga. Incredible sunset views.

Thank you Kimberly!"

The Aspen Cabin is a dog-friendly cabin with a kitchenette, 2 BR (one queen and bunk beds), and sleeps 3 comfortably.

The Mill Creek Cabins experience is quite unique and special. As you arrive, you'll pass wineries, the beautiful Finger Lakes (either Seneca or Cayuga), Amish buggies, and finally you'll find the Cabins among the Finger Lakes National Forest. Check-in is a breeze, and you'll notice that you are one of only three groups who are enjoying the property. You'll start your evening by grilling up some burgers and enjoying the porch. You might take a dip in the hot tub before settling in by the fire pit. Plenty of firewood and charcoal are available for purchase.

When you wake up the next morning, Mary from Taste of Wine Country Cafe will deliver your breakfast. Not a morning person? She'll drop the order on your front porch and you can get it when you roll out of bed. Coffee maker comes with coffee, creamer and sugar. If you are a morning person, maybe you'll enjoy a hike! There's a one mile path around the perimeter of the 40 acre property.

There's so much to do in the Finger Lakes during the day. Lodi is located between Seneca and Cayuga lakes. Mill Creeks Cabins is surrounded by the Finger Lakes National Forest. While it feels completely remote, the beginning of the Seneca Wine trail is less than 5 miles (9 minutes) away. When you get back, you might take advantage of the yard games like volleyball, yard darts, bocce ball, and croquet. After all that activity, you'll probably want to settle in with a movie - each cabin has access to Netflix, Hulu and Disney +, and you can sign into any of your own systems. Or, go a little retro and watch a DVD!

* We charge a cleaning fee. This fee offsets our costs for turning over the cabin and the hot tub in between stays. We do not enter the cabin once you have checked in (unless there is an emergency or you ask us to).
* Charging this fee allows us to be flexible in stay length. Having a one-time fee incentivizes longer stays, and makes a one-night stay worth the extra effort!
* We are CHORE-FREE! No chore list upon checkout. You do not have to vacuum, do laundry, or strip the beds. We provide light cleaning materials in case there's a spill.

- "Great location, dog friendly, clean!" - "Great cabin for me and my family. Everything we needed was there. My wife and sons enjoyed the short time we were there." - "Everything has been thought of for you! My partner and I have stayed at many places with kitchenettes and there is typically always something missing - so we always come prepared. But this cabin had things like dish soap, a new sponge, matches and tender for the grill/firepit outside along with many other details all taken care of! The property had its own set of walking trails and despite nearby hiking trails being quite muddy the ones on property were not! The property manager replied promptly to all queries and our stay was perfect!"
