Relax with those closest to you at this peaceful home right on Cayuga Lake. This cozy retreat is just minutes away from Wells College and the charming town of Aurora, offering the perfect balance of convenience and tranquility. Surrounding the area are local vineyards, breweries, and hiking trails, as well as attractions like the Inns of Aurora and Makenzie-Childs. And if you want to explore further, Cornell and Ithaca are only a 30-minute drive south. The space The house has been designed to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable, with a special focus on maximizing the beautiful lake views. The first floor is open and filled with natural light, thanks to large windows overlooking the water. The kitchen is fully stocked and is open to the rest of the floor so you don't have to be apart from your group while preparing your meals. There is a dining room with seating for 6, and the cozy living room has an electric fireplace to cuddle up by on a rainy day and read a book. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms. Prepare for your outings in style in the full bathroom featuring a double sink, ensuring everyone has plenty of space to get ready. One of the bedrooms has its own private bathroom complete with a rain showerhead. Step outside through the French doors on the first floor and onto a spacious deck with outdoor seating and a dining area. A brand new dock allows you to take a refreshing swim in Cayuga Lake. There is also a grill provided. A barrel sauna is available to keep you warm on those cold nights. It can comfortably fit 4 adults, and you can squeeze 6. The lake side is all glass so you can watch the water or the sunset as you relax. You can also stay on the deck until the sun goes down and enjoy a glass of local wine while watching some of the most incredible sunsets you will ever see! We also have a Watercraft Shed available for rent which includes 6 Lake Tubes, 4 Paddle Boards (with optional kayak seats), 2 Hard Side Kayaks, and plenty of Life Jackets. Rental Fee is $75 per day or $225 for your entire stay. You may choose to only rent for 1 or 2 days of your stay. PLEASE NOTE: This is a lake house in a rural area. There will be some spiders and bugs no matter how carefully we clean. The road to the house is a 1 lane dirt road. We love the quiet seclusion and the beauty that this house has and we know you will too, but please understand the area that you will be staying in. Guest access The entire property is yours to enjoy. Other things to note This house has a well for water and a holding tank for waste, so we ask all guests to be mindful of their water use in order to not overwhelm either system. Notes for Boats! The street is tight and while you'll be able to get it down to the house, turning it around is a challenge and requires an experienced driver. It's totally doable though. Also, the water can get very rough in even mildly bad weather so we don't allow overnight hitching of boats on the dock to avoid any dock damage.
