Beautiful property and location was perfect, a short drive to Ithaca but far enough away for a big dose of peace and tranquility. When we return to this area, this will be our first choice to stay at.

Lovely stay!
Stayed at “Simply Irresistible” for just over a week. It was so relaxing, great views, and easy location to access hiking trails, restaurants and grocery in Ithaca and even cute spots in Lansing (definitely recommend the ice cream at Scoops). House amenities were wonderful — loved how well appointed the kitchen was with great appliances and plenty of pots and pans so that we could make meals at “home.” And despite all the rain during our time here, we were able to use the fire pit one evening. Our family of three (adult son with husband and myself) would definitely come back for another stay. Thanks Jennifer!

Weekend getaway
The lake shore home is very comfortable with spectacular views of the lake. We enjoyed the firepit outside and bird watching the many species of water fowl. The house is equipped with several extras which made it stress free. We had a wonderful Easter weekend getaway, We visited the difference falls, college and Ithaca.

The home was clean and had many thoughtful touches. The kitchen is well stocked, which made things easier during our stay. The view from the window waking up in the morning is lovely and peaceful. A great place to get away for a few days, which was exactly what we were looking for. Jennifer and Mitch were responsive and kind. Highly recommend!

Great stay for Thanksgiving
We stayed over the Thanksgiving holiday and loved the quiet location. Access to walk to Salt Point Natural Area and a short drive to other walking locations. The location is secluded, but very close to Lansing and Ithaca. The owners were very kind and accommodating with our unscheduled flight changes.

Perfect little getaway
My husband and I had the best time. The house was gorgeous. The view from the living room, kitchen, and master bedroom was magnificent. Although the weather didn’t permit us to use the lake, we loved that it was available to use if needed. It’s super quiet and off the beaten path. The house has some very cool gadgets like a panting AC and gas fireplaces. We would definitely go back.

Dream Stay
Overall 5+ stars! Only one very tiny issue and that was we arrived late in the evening and unfortunately the solar lights didn’t come on so we used our cellphone lights to see the digital lock box. That was extremely minor and that’s the most we could possibly have complained about! Everything about the house was awesome, we were so sad to leave. The amenities are top-notch, the house was spotless, the scenery is fantastic, and the “neighborhood” was quiet. Kitchen is amazingly well-equipped, the main bedroom is stellar, the living room is oh so comfortable and the views over the lake (Cayuga) were just perfect.
I probably shouldn’t gush too much as we plan to return and we don’t want it to get too busy! 5+/5 stars

Heavenly
We've stayed here twice and it's the absolute best place in the whole area. I've stayed at a half dozen other properties all over the Finger Lakes region, but this one takes the cake. Gorgeous house, every amenity you could want, and the best sunset view available. A few minutes drive takes you into Ithaca for restaurants, bakeries, grocery stores, and the Ithaca Farmers' Market. Can't overstate what a great place this is to stay.

Perfect Cayuga Lake Getaway
Jennifer’s Cayuga Lake property was perfect for our anniversary getaway. She was also a great host, providing detailed description of the property & amenities as well as timely communication. The house was very comfortable and well-stocked. We used all the outdoor spaces: the cozy fire pit area, the large deck for dinner, the covered porch for breakfast, the master bedroom balcony for happy hour relaxation and the lake dock for viewing lovely sunsets over Cayuga Lake. We also used the paddle board & kayaks (stored in a locked shed at the lakefront) that are free to use with the rental. The location is great because it is a quiet area outside of a small town but so close to Ithaca with all the city’s amenities. We loved this place in the Finger Lakes!

Great stay
The house was very pretty and clean. Everything you need I.e. garbage bags, plates cups cleaners were available. Comfortable beds.
Only negative thing is I wish the grass was cut but this may have been because it was off season
But would not be discouraged by this.
Definitely would stay here again

Very cozy lake house
Our family had a wonderful time in this lake house. It has everything: breathtaking views, exceptional cleanliness, comfortable beds, a fully equipped kitchen, and many local attractions. We visited the Ithaca market, hiked the Cornell waterfalls, and enjoyed the barbeque with the sunsets at the lake.
