Come & enjoy our private retreat! Everyone who visits agrees that this spot is idyllic & incredibly unique. Right at the water's edge at the big bend in Cayuga Lake just north of Ithaca, The Point is located on 1.5 level acres, with no cliffs/hillsides & an incredibly rare 650+ feet of lake frontage. The 3 BR/1.5 Bath, 1700 sq ft, fully-insulated, 4-season cottage faces 270-degree lake views, plus a private cove at the back of the house. It feels a bit like being on an island, right in the center of Cayuga Lake! The house is itself is an older (1970's) build, but has been furnished for comfort. What makes this property really special is the unparalleled location, spacious grounds, shoreline, and views! The east shore location means fantastic sunset views, while the south facing point means you also get sunrises! The best of both worlds!

We NEVER rent on cr****list, so if you see this property advertised there, that listing is a scam.

No pet fees for visiting dogs. However, it is required that all dogs *must be disclosed* when booking, & guests must adhere to the pet rules & max dog #s. No other pets permitted; particularly no cats due to family allergies. Dog visit requirements: Maximum of 2 dogs total including day visitors, <75 pounds each, must be up to date on all vaccines & reputable flea prevention, dogs are not allowed on the beds/furniture, dogs must be crated if left alone in the house (or else must accompany owners when going out), all poop must be disposed of appropriately.

AMENITIES:
We are unable to control the occasionally inaccurate identification of property amenities by the VRBO and other website AI in searches. If there is a particular amenity that you are specifically seeking as important to your stay, please make sure to confirm that we have written it here in the description text or else message us to confirm that amenity *before booking*. Property decor & furnishings are subject to change without notice from those depicted in listing photos according to maintenance needs.

INTERIOR:
* Window AC units in each bedroom June-Oct
* Well-equipped cook's kitchen with gas stove & dual electric oven; 12-cup drip coffee maker with reusable filter
* ROKU TV for streaming (no cable service at the cottage), DVD player w/family-friendly DVD library
* Desks for remote working and reliable internet/WiFi with internet speeds sufficient for streaming or remote meetings (Download Speed: 113Mbps, Upload Speed: 11 Mbps)
* Professional interior cleaning between each rental with fresh, clean bed sheets & bath towels
* Washer/dryer; note that washer use by guests may occasionally be restricted/prohibited in the event of septic limitations during periods when lake levels are unexpectedly high. This act of nature is uncommon but is out of host control & washer access is not guaranteed
* Eco bonus: All electricity supplied to the property is 100% solar generated, purchased from a nearby solar farm!
* Please note that interior fireplaces visible in photos are *not operational*. Interior fires are not permitted.

EXTERIOR:
* Outdoor dining on the deck with an ambiance better than any local restaurant!
* Panoramic, gorgeous, sunset views
* Lakeshore firepit for small bonfires
* Huge, level lawn
* Kids will love the playground structures at Myers Park, an easy 10 minute walk away
* Gas grill provided as a convenience only & made available to guests to use at their own discretion. Please feel free to fire it up & clean it to your standards before cooking, & do your best to burn off/clean the grates for the next guest when done
* Hot tub (PLEASE NOTE: the hot tub volume is small; it is optimal for 2 adults at a time, occupancy is limited by the need to avoid water overflow). Operates year-round
* Watercraft: 2 adult 12’ sit-in recreational kayaks, 2 kid sit-on-top kayaks (kids <100lbs), one 10' SUP, one 2-person Grumman canoe. Outdoor furniture & watercraft are seasonally stored & not available during cooler months (dates are weather-dependent/not guaranteed; usually late-Oct to mid-May).
* Boaters: The property has 2 docks. The FRONT dock on Cayuga Lake is a great place to relax or fish, but heavy/multi-directional wave action at the very tip of the point *does not permit boat mooring*. The BACK dock provides access to the calm cove behind the house that connects to Cayuga Lake via the next-door marina & receives almost no wave action. Jet skis & small boats with shallow drafts may be moored here, but navigation from the marina through a narrow & shallow opening under a short bridge is required, which limits the freeboard height of boats that may pass through. As a result, *not all boats can access the cove and back dock*. Please message us for more detailed information. Alternatively, the next-door marina (Lansing Harbor) is a very short walk & usually has available temporary slip rental (also a gas dock), which offers a very convenient storage alternative; pontoon boats may also be rented here. The marina is not affiliated with our property, so inquire directly with them for costs. Alternatively, trailered boats may be launched at the Myers Park launch, re-trailered when done & parked in the Point gravel parking area when not in use.

To arrive at the Point, pass through the neighboring marina to reach our private oasis. The marina is close enough to be convenient but doesn't intrude on the property privacy. A flat gravel drive leads the parking area & house right at lake level.

There are 3 bedrooms (BR1=1 king , BR2=1 queen+1 twin, BR3=1 queen) & 2 bathrooms (1 full bath w/shower+tub combo & & 1 half-bath). As an older home, the bathrooms are small & modest, consistent with its era, but are clean & functional. All three BRs overlook the private cove to the north of the house, great for wildlife viewing throughout the year. During the summer months, window A/C units are provided in each bedroom, & fans are provided throughout the rest of the house to move cool lake breezes through the many windows. Please do note that while the house is well-maintained & well-appointed to make your stay fun & comfortable, this is a quirky older home, in a more rural location.

The perfect mix of nature & convenience, the Point is the perfect spot - far enough from everything to be relaxing, but an easy 10-15 minute drive to Ithaca, & close to a wide range of area attractions. You really won’t find anyplace else like it. Rise early & take in the stillness at sunrise. Enjoy the lake breezes & the sound of the waves against the rocky lakeshore. Hunt for fossils & lucky stones in the lakeshore shale. Spot the enormous carp amongst the water lilies in the cove behind the house. Explore the area parks, waterfalls, & wineries. Quietly observe a stealthy great blue heron stalking along the water's edge, & marvel at a passing bald eagle or an osprey abruptly plunging out of the sky. Laugh with loved ones & unwind around a bonfire. Let the sound of the water against the rocks & the conversations of the frogs in the back cove lull you to sleep at night. Originally purchased by the family in the 1930s as a waterfowl-hunting property, this property attracts local wildlife. We see a huge variety of waterfowl, as well as kingfishers, flickers, orioles, woodpeckers, various songbirds, osprey, bald eagles, hawks, owls, turkeys, blue & green herons, turtles, squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits, voles, beavers, muskrats, a fisher, minks, raccoons, opossums, woodchucks, foxes, & deer who visit at various times.

Come and make some incomparable memories!

- "The property was absolutely lovely. It was great to have access to the canoe, kayaks, and SUP. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and absolutely would come back again." - "This was a family vacation and it surpassed our expectations in every way. The location private,pristine and beautiful. The house Cosy, we’ll appointment and tastefully done. The hosts were very responsive. A perfect family vacation." - "We had an amazing vacation in the Finger Lakes - primarily due to finding the perfect house/property. We loved the privacy, the ability to swim, kayak, and fish right from the house... without needing to walk up and down lots of steps like so many other lake houses in the area. We also appreciated the wide assortment of seemingly brand new games in the cabinets. The proximity to Ithaca was also a bonus as we went "into town" a few times to enjoy delicious meals. Thanks so much for a great stay! We hope to be back!"

- "Communication was great. We had a great time staying here and spent alot of time traveling to Ithaca for restaurants and hiking. The only things I thought were not explained well is that the bed in loft is on the floor, but it was still semi-comfortable. And the other thing is the bathtub..there is no shower but a handheld showerhead so you have to kind of sit down and shower as to not get water everywhere. Otherwise we really enjoyed our stay and those were merely minor things we just werent aware of."

- "Jennifer’s Cayuga Lake property was perfect for our anniversary getaway. She was also a great host, providing detailed description of the property & amenities as well as timely communication. The house was very comfortable and well-stocked. We used all the outdoor spaces: the cozy fire pit area, the large deck for dinner, the covered porch for breakfast, the master bedroom balcony for happy hour relaxation and the lake dock for viewing lovely sunsets over Cayuga Lake. We also used the paddle board & kayaks (stored in a locked shed at the lakefront) that are free to use with the rental. The location is great because it is a quiet area outside of a small town but so close to Ithaca with all the city’s amenities. We loved this place in the Finger Lakes!"

- "Our group (8 adults and 2 infants) stayed here for a week and it was wonderful. The house is large enough for everyone to spread out if they wanted to but we spent the majority of time on the deck. We spent mornings out there using the sectional and table that seats eight. When we had too much sun on the dock, we would come up for lunch. We ate dinner out there each night. The rooms had everything we needed and the bathrooms were clean. We brought way too much stuff because we hadn’t anticipated how well stocked the house would be. They have pots and pans and cutting boards and basic spices. We also saw there were garbage bags and dishwasher tabs. We appreciated that there was laundry available for use, although the laundry room does have a bit of dampness. We took it in stride because it’s a lake house after all. There wasn’t dampness anywhere else. We would for sure stay here again."

- "We were able to have all of our kids and grandchildren to celebrate the Holidays. Clean spacious …perfect" - "This was perfect for our stay - very close to Dutch Harvest Farm where we had a family wedding. The house has plenty of room and great yard and decks. The kids enjoyed fishing from the dock - didn't catch anything and doing a Polar Bear swim - adults enjoyed cocktails on the deck and seeing the sun go down over the lake - very relaxing."
