Osprey Landing : 2 Minutes to Ithaca + Close to Cornell + Lakeside Retreat

Whether you're attending a wedding or graduation at Ithaca College or Cornell University, or coming into town for a Cayuga Lake wine tour, fall foliage, or our many local parks, you'll be in complete serenity at Osprey Landing. Located on the southeast side of the lake less than ten minutes from Ithaca; there's ample opportunity for fun, food, and relaxation.

Inside, the lake greets you through the large picture windows in the dining room. Relax and unwind…You're now on lake time! Set up perfectly for the comfort, leisure, and luxury traveler, this cozy home has three bedrooms and three baths and plus an attached complete one-bedroom spacious apartment.

Freshly renovated, the open floor plan of Osprey Landing makes both entertaining and lounging a breeze! The kitchen offers plenty of counter space and everything you need and more to prepare your favorite meals. A high-top breakfast counter separates the kitchen area from a formal dining setting. And new modern appliances will bring out the best in your kitchen talents.

Wall-to-wall windows span the length of both the dining and living room areas. Enjoy lake views from sunup, to sundown. Oversized and comfortable furniture make the living room cozy and inviting.

Completing the main level of Osprey Landing is the entry level bath with walk-in tile shower.

Upstairs, two private bedrooms and a third passage bedroom can be found. Each of the two private bedrooms offer an unforgettable lake view! Enjoy your morning beverage from the balcony of the main bedroom and marvel at the morning calmness, or later enjoy a priceless sunset.

In the back of the house, the attached one bedroom suite at Osprey Landing is the perfect spot for a bit of privacy and relaxation. This additional bonus space will prove to be the perfect addition to this already beautiful destination home. Inside, you'll find a kitchen with white cabinetry, oversized furniture in the living area, and a master bedroom with queen bed. Just off the living area a private balcony with bistro table and chairs is yours to enjoy. Soak up the sunset with a Finger Lakes cocktail!

Outside, the private lakefront beach offers plenty of toys for your enjoyment. Spend your days paddling the shore of Cayuga Lake in one of the kayaks or paddle board offered or enjoy sunbathing on the shoreline. Watch as osprey and other native birds fly nearby. You'll soon see how this gem got its name! Fishing at Osprey Landing is a true gem all of its own. This beach area is said to be one of the better local fishing spots!

Satisfy the barbeque-enthusiast at one of the grills overlooking the lake. Perfect for grilling and a refreshing beverage while enjoying the sunset.

Osprey Landing is located approximately two minutes from one of the Finger Lakes most beautiful and diverse cities, Ithaca, NY. Visit Buttermilk, Triphammer, or Taughannock Falls; tour the Cornell Plantations and gorges or enjoy some wine or micro-brewery tastings. In downtown Ithaca, you will find an outdoor pedestrian mall with plenty of amazing restaurants, cafes, and specialty shops. For cyclists, the Ithaca area offers amazing cycling for all, be it: road (take on the areas hill challenges as well as quite country roads), gravel (many rail-trails and park pathways), or mountain biking.

An active set of train tracks can be found between the house and lakefront. The train goes through sporadically and at a very, very slow pace. Guests of all ages, especially younger children, can't wait to see the train pass by!

Ithaca weekend

My family came from out of state for a family members memorial service. The rental was perfect. Extremely clean and well equipped with kitchen equipment. The home is directly on Cayuga Lake with grills and outside seating. The bedrooms all had great mattresses and plenty of linens. We did need the additional apartment which was easily accessible.Highly recommend this Reno!

Baffling Layout But Cute Lake Moment!

Very peaceful lake retreat, good distance from downtown Ithaca. We couldn't find the correct entrance; it's around the left corner from the garage. Don't rent this property with a large vehicle; the driveway is tight! A compact car would be better. Stinkbugs all inside.

Weekend getaway

Came to visit our daughter at school, perfect location so we could get back and forth from school easily, but enough removed that it felt like an oasis. Beautiful view. Would love to stay here again.

Fabulous Location

We had a group of friends that all stayed together at the house and had a great time. The location was really convenient to all that Ithaca and the surrounding area has to offer. The house was great for a group or with everything we needed and coming back each evening to sit on the deck and watch the sun set was an especially nice treat. Highly recommend this spot for any visits to the area and look forward to booking it again.
