About this property

Lakefront, Private Dock, Private Deck, Amazing Views, Pet Friendly, Upscale

A gorgeous, updated, three bedroom house directly on Cayuga Lake but only minutes from downtown Ithaca. Our house has spectacular lake views, a modern floor plan and beautiful, high-end construction and details. Special features include a stoned faced fireplace, striking wide plank floors and modern kitchen with modern appliances. First floor full bath and guest room. Upstairs you will be delighted with the master suite with more gorgeous lake views. Driveway is close to the front door compared to most other west shore properties. Private frontage and dock. Kayaks, Canoe. Fast internet service with wifi, A/C, Washer Dryer, Roku TV, DVD player, gas fireplace, wine cooler.

Reasons to rent this house:

1) Its directly on Cayuga Lake with amazing views from the deck and dock, near wineries, and also only 5 minutes from downtown Ithaca restaurants and shopping, and less than 15 min. from the colleges.

2) We use only solar electricity, powered by Solar Farms, New York.

3) In summer, you can drive close to the front door, no major staircase to the house (as is common on Cayuga Lake). However, you must be able bodied and sure-footed. There is a path with a series of concrete steps (total 21). In winter, we have a new staircase from the road with 52 steps. The house is not appropriate for anyone with walking disabilities (sorry).

4) There are 2.5 bathrooms.

5) Two kayaks on the property, a canoe, private dock.

6) The house is big enough for two families to share. We have 3 bedrooms and a bonus room (with sleeper sofa), plus a sleeper sofa with memory foam mattress in the living room.

Who Can Rent:
House is not appropriate for loud/late night parties. We do not allow additional guests. Also, sorry, the house is not handicapped accessible.

All adult guests staying at the house must sign our license agreement and agree to our house rules.

Our property is steep. There is a long stair case to the house from the driveway with 52 steps. All tenants and guests must be able to navigate stair with ease. Unfortunately it is not handicapped accessible. We do not have a grass yard.

Winter: Our house is a real house that is winterized and you can set the thermostat to whatever is comfortable. We do not always plow or shovel the lower driver in winter. Winter tenants should plan to walk from the upper parking to the house.

Great stay in Ithaca
A lot of thought is put into making guests comfortable in this great Ithaca location. This house has everything you need for an awesome stay at the lake. The layout of the house makes the most of the lake views and everything is comfortable and well-maintained. Hope we can go back again soon!

Great weekend stay
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful house with our family and another family during a ski weekend to Greek Peak. The house had everything we needed and was well stocked, the bedrooms were spacious, and it was very comfortable. The deck and views over the lake are incredible - we hope to be back in the summer to enjoy the warm weather amenities! The property manager was very responsive and kind. Definitely recommend this place!

Our stay in Ithaca
Lovely view, lovely sunrises, nice house. The kitchen was well equipped, even with really sharp knives, which seems to be a rarity these days.

About the host

Hosted by Carolyn Greenwald

Host profile image
We are an Ithaca family of five. We lived on Cayuga Lake at our other listing, 889 Taughannock until our youngest was born. That property has been a vacation rental for 5 years. We purchased 907 Taughannock because it is absolutely magnificent.

Why they chose this property

Our other rental house 889 is extremely nice by lake front standards, but this house, 907 Taughannock is nice by any standards. Everything is gorgeous, from the floors, to the windows, to the furniture, to the bathrooms. Even my parents will gladly stay at this house and they are some tough customers.

What makes this property unique

Lakefront living with good access. Private dock and private deck. Large bedrooms, superior furnishings, tile bathrooms. In the Town of Ithaca, only minutes from downtown and the colleges, also near the wineries, and state parks.
