The listing says that we are a 19 min walk from the lake, but that is an autogenerated field from Airbnb based on geographic location unfortunately, not public lake access. The closest public lake access is Taughannock State Park, a beautiful park with hiking, a famous local waterfall, and access to Cayuga Lake-- about a 10-12 min drive or Lodi Point, a beautiful quiet little park with access to Seneca Lake-- 15-20 min drive. Other things to note The pillows and comforters we provide are goose down. We have a monitored fire alarm system that is wired directly to the fire department. Details are left in the space on how to avoid triggering the alarm when cooking and steps to take if an alarm is triggered by mistake.
