West Side Lakefront Beach House
Rick & Kim’s place was absolutely incredible!! My boyfriend proposed to me on our trip and Rick & Kim’s response was overwhelming in the best way!! Cannot thank them enough for going above and beyond to make our stay that much more special. Looking forward to our next stay!!

Lakefront home Seneca Lake wine trail-Burdett
Beautiful home on Lake Seneca with great views of the lake. The home was fully stocked and had plenty of room to spread out with 7 people staying there. Close to many wineries and distilleries. Be aware the road leading to the home is unpaved and in colder weather be sure to have four wheel drive. We will definitely be back to enjoy the views!

Pristine Lakefront House On Wine Trail
Lori's place was perfect for our annual visit to the Finger Lakes. She has thought of everything to make your stay comfortable- the beds are some of the most comfortable we've stayed in. The kitchen is well appointed with pots, pans, cooking utensils, and we were able to make breakfast every morning before heading out to the wineries- there is even a wine cooler for our favorite white wines! The weather was perfect, and we had our coffee on the back deck every morning by the lake, and enjoyed a blazing fire every night! This area offers so much to do and see, and Lori's place is a great location providing waterfront comfort, and close to the wineries and restaurants. We were able to visit Mackenzie Childs, do a free house tour, then shop in the store- highly recommended! We also went to Skaneateles for some fun girls shopping, took the boat tour, and visited Anyelas winery for live music with a beautiful view! Lori's place is perfect for visiting this area, we give it 5 stars!

DeRuyter Lake House on Water's Edge 3br 2Tier Deck
Very late request for reservation and Nicole responded quickly and accommodated. Can not say enough about how beautiful the place was and how stunning the view you wake up to. Entire home was so clean, comfortable, and inviting. My family thoroughly enjoyed our time there and the children were begging for a week there in the summer time. Nicole was the most responsive and accommodating host I’ve encountered and I hope we are able to spend a week or two there in the summer. You feel like you are in your own world while being close enough to stores and towns to get what you need. Beautiful place, one of my favorite stays.

Private Lakefront Cottage on Keuka Lake
This Airbnb was the perfect fall getaway! We visited the lake to soak in the autumn vibes, and this spot exceeded our expectations. There was plenty of room for our group of five, and the host’s recommendations made our trip even better. While the area is known for summer fun, I think fall might be the best time to visit. We had an amazing time exploring the charming shops, cozy restaurants, and stunning waterfront spots, plus the nearby vineyards are a must-see. Can’t wait to return next year when the leaves are changing again—absolutely loved our stay!

Relaxing Lakeside Getaway on Cayuga lake!
The location is extraordinary; right on the lake facing Ithaca. Bedding, linens and house were super clean. The spaces fit our group perfectly. We had a great visit!

Owasco Lake retreat
Great place for our group. We had 9 adults and 2 kids. Enough space to not feel on top of each other. Those with children really appreciated the amount of amenities in the house for them: crib, toys, books, etc. Really appreciated the local recommendations and access to kayaks/paddleboats. Very responsive if you have a question or need a rec on what to do/where to go.

Lakefront Perfect For Familiy, Wineries, Colleges
Had a lovely stay here, the natural beauty is truly to die for. Host was so accommodating and responsive. Will definitely return.

Amazing Views! Butler Beach— just 200 steps away!
A beautiful home in quiet neighborhood with amazing water views. Large, spacious rooms. Comfortable seating & dining areas both with walls of windows to enjoy the lake views. Short walk to local beach & close to town for shopping, restaurants, entertainment & park. House is just as described & host is quick to respond with answers to any questions. Excellent place to stay for vacation.

Cozy Lakeside Retreat w/New HOT TUB & Pedal Boat!
Great place! Beautiful views of the lake and fenced in yard for the pups. Enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit and kayaks as well!

An escape on Seneca Lake
This was our second time staying at Erin's place. We love it there! Exact same as the first time. Spotless and clean, comfortable beds and we absolutely loved hanging on the dock! So reasonably priced, too!

Owasco Lakefront. A/C, Fast Wifi & Best Lot
Enjoyed out time - sadly the weather wasn't the greatest but if you are here during the warmer weather I am sure it is fantastic. Very relaxing time and very clean home for our Easter weekend the home has a lot of space to spread out and enjoy reading etc. We had a lot of down time and everyone enjoyed the screened in area and the comfy beds sitting on the deck and the lake view. Pretty close to a few wineries and Wegman's which was great for all the meal prep as we didn't dine out much in the area but there are many places close by. A great time with our son from Syracuse Univ it was nice for him to get off campus and relax before stressful final projects and final exams and for us to meet him near SU- a little less than hour drive.

Azalea Beach House on Seneca Lake
We loved the layout of the home and beautiful views, great amenities and well stocked (ie. sheets, towels, dishes, etc.). We would definitely return!

Magical lakefront treehouse, minutes to downtown
We had a great time. Their location on the lake is perfect and we enjoyed being outside even though it was quite cold in March. The projector with the screen was a great way to watch March madness. The layout of the house was great. We would definitely stay here again.

Spacious Charmer w/ Lake Access & Master Suite!
Another great stay at Michelle’s! We have stayed here previously in 2023 and came back with my parents who throughly enjoyed the layout and comfort of this airbnb! We were delighted with the new en suite bathroom! There was plentiful of space and coziness. Thank you for hosting us again! We will definitely be back :)

Finger Lakes Lakehouse Amazing Lake Views
This property is beautiful! It's spacious and quiet with gorgeous lake views from both levels. We stayed in the winter and it was so peaceful. There is a hot tub but an unexpected issue made it unavailable just prior to my stay. The hosts were awesome and offered a refund or credit. The decor in the home is lovely and modern. There are two very functional bathrooms and the one shower has a lake view! Can't get much better than that. There is a neat fireplace in the primary room. There is a cute brewery with good food and a winery right down the road. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. It was the perfect peaceful winter retreat and I'd love to visit again in warmer weather!

Eagle's Cove on Lamoka, lake stay for wine & brews
Loved the place! The sunset view by the lake with a fire will remain in my heart. Russell was very kind with several sweet gifts. He is a great host!

Lake spirit bungalow
Jody's place immediately gave us the comfort of home, with beautiful decorations and eccentric pieces. I've been in many empty-feeling, hotel-esqe Airbnbs, but it felt like Jody was inviting me over as a friend. The patio was lovely. Highly reccomend.

Lakefront Tranquility! Wall of Windows! Private RD
Very nice accommodations. Beautiful lake. Enjoyed kayaking and rowing in the lake. Spacious rooms. Had lots of fun.

Enjoy Sunsets - Charming Lakefront 4 BR Home
The house and setting were lovely and Kathy was a wonderful host - she was always responsive and gave helpful recommendations. The lake and outdoor setting were beautiful. The house was very clean, spacious, comfortable and well equipped. We enjoyed using the fire pit and looking at the stars. The kitchen had everything we could need. The layout of the first floor made it easy to make ourselves at home and relax - gather at the table, sit on the multiple couches to watch tv. Kathy responded immediately when we ran into an issue with the water and resolved the problem immediately. Please note the information about water usage in the "Other things to note" section of the property description, as this is accurate and something guests should be aware of.

Skaneateles Lake - 3/3 one story house -no stairs
This is a great house in a beautiful place. Really great if you want to be outside and fully experience the lake. Walkout access to the lake and lots of "toys". We could see this being a lot of fun for groups of friends or couples as well. We were a family and it had what we needed, but could clearly support a more social setup too. Daniel was great. He called us as soon as we had a question and helped us several times. It had everything we wanted.

Old Glory on Keuka Lake
We were 7 of us, mostly siblings, so with 6 bedrooms it was perfect. The rooms were simple yet clean and had all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. While the house is not right on the water is is a very short stroll down to the docks and we had a beautiful view of Keuka Lake from the front porch and windows. There is much to do in the area-hiking, fishing, wine tasting. Also we enjoyed kayaking on the lake which is very beautiful and clean. All the stores you may need for supplies are about a 5 minute drive away in Penn Yan. We did a lot of cooking at the house and found the kitchen to be well stocked. There is a fire pit encircled by Adirondack chairs and we enjoyed campfires 2 of the nights we were there. Brian lives 2 doors down, but we never saw him, so there is no worry of the landlord being intrusive. All in all we would definitely stay again!

DeRuyter Lakefront camp big porch/lawn & boat slip
Was perfect for our short getaway, cleaning fee could have been reduced since we were there only 1 night and very little cleaning was needed

Beautiful home on south end of Skaneateles Lake
We had the most wonderful weekend at the lake! This was perhaps the most accommodating home we have stayed in. Heidi and Emily are offering everything -- from the fireplace (already stocked with wood), to a canoe, to lawn games, a dedicated dog area outdoors, and an amazingly well-stocked library. This house truly has it all. It was the perfect location for our 9-member family vacation for grandparents, parents, kids, and 2 dogs. We loved every moment. The house has a great, sprawling layout that seems to go on forever! That means the 3 back bedrooms are quiet, and the door in between them and the living area is great for the early risers while the late sleepers snooze. There are so many nooks for hanging out and having side conversations while still feeling a part of the group, but also a few areas to go for some solitude. We really couldn't have asked for anything more than this home offers. And the views of the lake, both from the home and from the beach/dock, can't be beat!
