Cottage holiday rentals in Ithaca

What a lovely stay! The cottage's location right on Keuka Lake was absolutely perfect, offering amazing wildlife and lake activity. We truly appreciated the privacy and genuine homey feel – made us feel immediately comfortable. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway. We'd definitely stay again!

This is the kind of place you almost don't leave a review for because you don't want anyone else to stay there and take your space. It was peaceful. The stream sounds are awesome. It feels so homey and lived in. I loved my stay.

This location is beautiful! Right on the lake. Easy to go down the stairs to the water. Randall was an excellent host and very responsive. The home is lovely and well kept. We had everything we needed. The hot tub was perfect! We used the canoe and kayaks and had a wonderful time on the lake. We would most definitely rent this again and we’ll keep it on our list! Highly recommend!

Thank you for our wonderful stay this weekend. Your place is the quintessential lake cottage. Everything we needed was supplied and at our fingertips, without being overrun with “stuff.” Well-maintained, clean, and comfortable. It was a cool, rainy weekend and we took full advantage of the bedroom fireplaces and extra blankets! Would love to come back to enjoy summer-time at your place. Thank you!

What a beautiful property right on the lake! We had such a lovely time, the place is well equipped with anything you might need and is very close to lots of restaurants, breweries, and wineries. We can’t wait to come back, highly recommend!

I would definitely stay here again. The place was safe. The yard was fenced. The entire home was well stocked. I truly felt at home.

The location was perfect to attend a wedding at Fountainbleu Inn (just a short walk to venue). Also, the location next to lake was wonderful. We had plenty of bedrooms with linens/towels and extras like trash bags, paper towels, toiletries, dish soap etc was very nice. The kitchen had what we needed to cook for 10+ people, except crock pot and griddle (which we brought from home). We enjoyed the hot tub and used the propane grill on the large deck. The owner stays close by and was in communication often.

Great cozy cottage on the Keuka Lake. Garrett was a great host and the house was very comfortable for my family of 4. Got to enjoy taking our paddle board on the lake, sit by the fire pit during sunset and enjoy the hot tub after a cold rainy hike at Watkins Glen gorge.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this charming, cozy and comfortable house on a quiet street. We so appreciated how well-stocked the bathrooms and kitchen were. The personalized front door code made getting in super easy, and easy to remember. Thanks for a great week!

Nice cosy house extension, right next to waterfall, very comfy. Close to Ithaca commons (5 min drive), groceries, bakeries etc.

Jesse’s place was the perfect cozy-with-a-view getaway. Ideal location, relaxing, well-designed and stocked. Jesse was eager to offer suggestions and very responsive. Hope to visit again!

Unfortunately we didn’t get to stay for long, we just needed a place to stop for the night, but Michele’s place was so beautiful and cozy we will definitely be back if we’re visiting the area again

My husband and I had a perfect stay for our anniversary weekend! the lakeside cottage was perfect and peaceful with so many thoughtful amenities. everything was very clean and organized. it is a perfect location to many wineries, breweries and hiking locations. by far my favorite stay in the finger lakes!

We were celebrating our 34th wedding anniversary and family graduations! This location was close to family, nostalgic in that we used to have family reunions on the lake, and very relaxing and comfortable. Aside from the unseasonably cold weather, it was nice to explore the town, enjoy delicious food and enjoy scenic sunsets on the lake! Would love to return with family in the future! Brian and Melissa were very responsive and we didn't have any issues!

Another great stay at this perfect home away from home. Nancy has thought of everything you and your pup will need for an incredibly comfortable vacation on the lake. There is a ton to do and explore in the surrounding area. Some of the highlights this year were the Geneva Lake trail, Grounded (cute cafe that allows dogs inside or out!), The Spotted Duck (amazing ice cream and they offer pup cups), Billsboro winery (chocolate truffle & wine pairing, also dog friendly), and Dean Lane Dining (no pets) in Dundee. And then there’s the magic of sunrise from Nancy’s deck and evenings just watching fish jumping, birds flying, and ducks swimming, all from the glider on the dock. Simple pleasures abound here.

We absolutely loved our stay- we did not want to leave! Beautiful view of the lake and the coziest space. We will definitely be back!

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Kate's place. This home was so nice and SUPER CLEAN! The kitchen is very nicely stocked with all of the cookware, utensils and odds and ends you will need. It is a very quiet location, which we were fine with! ( You have to drive to get to any restaurants or conveniences). We highly recommend this rental. Thank you Kate!

This cozy cabin was a great setting for a weekend retreat. There is a plenty of space outside to spend the day exploring, in addition to other hiking opportunities a short drive away. And at the end of the day, the comfy couch in front of the wood stove is exactly where we wanted to be. Thank you Ann for being so hospitable and friendly.

The Little House radiates charm, as do the hosts. The linens were so comfortable I made note of the brands. The yard has century old peonies and grape vines. Be sure to check out the cute downtown.

The cottage is exactly as described and looked just like the pictures which is not always the case. We loved having coffee while listening to the birds and enjoying the view of the lake. On the days it rained it was a peaceful and quiet retreat to relax and read or watch a movie. Kevin gave us lots of great recommendations for restaurants, hiking, breweries, and wineries. We recommend Watkins Glen State Park for hiking and Grist Iron Brewing for food, music, and beer. Both Kevin and Stephanie were friendly and responsive to our needs. Our time on the lake was really special and we would stay at the cottage again.

One of my top two favorite rental spaces to date! Dan has created a space that met any need we had. Every last detail and inch of the space has been so well thought out. A bottle of wine was generously waiting for us upon our arrival. Dan is very thorough in his instructions and communication. He reached out during our stay to make sure we were doing well and didn’t have any issues. The setting is so peaceful whether you are up around the cottage or down by the lake. Our weather wasn’t great, so unfortunately time on the lake itself didn’t happen. We hope to visit again and be able to make use of the kayaks. Fantastic find if you’re looking to get away! Thanks again

We had an absolute wonderful stay at James' lake cottage. Check in was easy and the cottage was clean and nicely decorated. We instantly felt welcomed and at home in the sweet space. The outdoor space was so lovely and peaceful. We enjoyed using the grill and kayaks. James had great local recommendations for us- we loved hiking at the nearby Lime Hollow Preservation and embarked on multiple hikes around to see spectacular waterfalls. Homer was a fun small town where we enjoyed lunch, some shopping and even a parade one evening! Our long weekend at the cottage was memorable, fun and relaxing. We would definitely love to come back!

Delightful, quiet stay with everything that I needed. Beautiful setting and I enjoyed the dock and lake despite the weather. Don was very responsive to my questions and needs prior to the visit. It was wonderful to meet his brother and to hear a bit about the history of the property. Hope to stay again soon for a longer stay.

What a wonderful stay at Sioux's place on Cayuga Lake! Attentive and very experienced host has thought of every detail to make a stay relaxing and carefree! Kayaks, paddleboards, books & games, wifi, AC, gas grills. Sweeping lake views can be enjoyed from the dock, deck, or living room. The cottage interior has been beautifully and lovingly modernized —new bathroom is gorgeous!—while maintaining the charm of lake living. Location can't be beat. Great wineries, ice creamery, coffee, shopping, and dining in nearby Trumansburg or Ithaca. We WILL be back!
