About this property

Timber Frame Cabin On Lake

This sweet little house has an open floor plan with a sleeping loft and beautiful views looking southwest over Cayuga Lake. Decks on two sides of the house lead to a “flight” of four decks below the house. The kitchen has a small refrigerator, induction burners, small oven, microwave, toaster, blender, coffee maker, and lots of cooking utensils and dishware. The bathroom has a claw-foot tub. On the decks, a gas grill and plenty of chairs and picnic tables for relaxing and entertaining.

Ideal for two, but can sleep four to six: queen mattress in loft, fold-out sofa bed, couch, and camping out in tents on the decks under large shade trees or on the double mattress in the boat house.

Not handicapped accessible: 28 gentle stone steps from the road down to the house, 3 to 6 steps between the decks, steep stairs down to the dock, boat house, and pebble beach, and in the house, a library ladder up to the sleeping loft.

Wifi. No smoking or incense. Pets considered.

Perfect little cabin on the lake

Cozy and quaint little cabin right on the lake. Had everything we wanted, beautiful sunsets of the boat house porch, many great wineries near by and beautiful nights with a campfire. Cabin was wonderful and everything we wished for..

Sweet & Cozy

Loved this adorable cabin. It was the perfect cozy long weekend. There were plenty of utensils to cook with, cozy spots to read and journal, a comfy bed and beautiful outdoor space. I certainly enjoyed the claw foot bathtub. Nancy was so wonderful! She let me know when the cabin was ready for me and even let me stay a bit longer as a treat. What a special trip!

Always beautiful lakefront cabin

This was our second time staying in this beautiful cabin. It's rustic and special, offering beautiful views and the tranquility of lakeside life. Short drives to Ithaca for groceries, sleepy mornings on the porch with coffee, and winery outings. We always want to come back! Plus, Nancy communicated wonderfully with us and really made us feel welcome.

A cozy cottage...with a lake view

My host, Nancy, was very responsive and accommodating for my 3 nite stay on Cayuga lake. She provided me with local information about travel, grocery stores & restaurants, which made me right at home. It was a perfect place to stay while I volunteered at Long Point winery, in Aurora, for the week.

Sweet Lakeside Cabin

We fell in love with this charming cozy cabin, its perch above the lake, its location in a quiet dead end street only 20 minutes from Ithica to the south and Aurora 20 minutes to the north. Very clean, rustic in the sense of casual but not in the sense of lack of amenities.

Charming Lake Cabin

We just had another wonderful vacation at Nancy’s lake Cayuga cabin. The water was beautiful and we enjoyed hiking at Treman park and dinners out in Ithaca and Lansing. Nancy is an attentive host and the cabin is charming and well cared for.

Cutest bungalow ever!

My sister slept on the comfy pull out couch and my teenage daughter and I took the full size loft bed. With the cool lake breeze and the sound of waves lapping on the shore we slept like babes! Nancy and Rick were terrific hosts and have appointed the cabin with everything you need. The lake is stunning and we took out the kayaks every day, as well as fished, swam, and walked the abandoned train tracks. We will definitely be back to this magical, relaxing and rejuvenating place!

Adorable timber frame cottage

We came up for a quick get away. The cottage and property is so adorable. We had a restful stay and visited the spa at Inn at Aurora for my birthday. Nancy reached out to see if we needed anything. She had a bouquet of beautiful wildflowers for my birthday. You can see the hosts really love their cottage. We will be back.

Charming Cabin With Great View

The timber-frame cabin had everything we needed and more. The host was very helpful. The view of lake Cayuga was framed by magnificent trees. The way the lot was landscaped was very clever, with various levels down to the lake, dock, and boat house. Beautiful countryside and waterfalls to visit.

Vacation at the cabin on Lake Cayuga

Everything in the property description was 100% accurate. Very quiet and quaint, perfect for my wife and I. Loved sitting on the dock in the evening and watching the sunset. Communication with the owner was quick and helpful. Would definitely recommend!!

Wonderful Ithaca weekend

This place was ADORABLE and so close to Ithaca. The nights were blissfully quiet - if you don’t count the waves from the lake that lulled us to sleep. The road was great for walking our little dog and we enjoyed seeing all the deer around the neighborhood. My only feedback was the shower. While my husband and I are pretty low maintenance and can make do without much, we arrived late with the hope of a nice hot shower after a long drive, but that wasn’t the case. It IS a camp so we weren’t expecting anything fancy, but a little forewarning would have been appreciated. Regardless, we would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Labor Day (week) Getaway

This cabin was the perfect place to unwind for the holiday week. Secluded, but not isolated, we felt like we had our own cabin in the woods without being too far away from restaurants and activities like hiking. We even went out on the water in the kayaks. The amenities are also great - good wifi, fridge, and all the things one would need for a weekend retreat. The cabin has a wonderful feel, and our host was super responsive and even provided recommendations for activities. I would highly recommend this cabin for a visit to the Finger Lakes.

Cute cabin!

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.

About the host

Hosted by Nancy Lazarus

Host profile image
Rick and Nancy Lazarus live south of Ithaca and love Cayuga Lake and the sunsets from its east shore. This is our summer lake house, a quiet retreat.

Why they chose this property

The lake access and views are great, plus Bill George Road is a quiet and wooded road great for walking and bike riding. There are some houses on the lake side and a couple of small gorges. Great blue herons fly up and down the lake every day. Owls hoot at night. Rick is a timber frame barn restorer and he built this charming little house about 10 years ago.
