Enjoy mid‑century style in this fully updated lake‑view home, tucked in quiet woods. Tall windows frame Cayuga Lake and bright fall colors. Warm cherry floors and clean modern furniture greet you inside. Step onto the deck, breathe pine air, hear a nearby waterfall, and watch the sunset paint the water gold. End the night by the fireplace and feel miles away, even with town just minutes off.
This unit is fully private, with no shared areas.
There's no lake access from the house, only lake view.

Other things to note
Lake & Swimming Access
While our home is situated near the lake, it sits on a cliffside and does not have direct lake access.
For swimming, paddle boarding, or kayaking, we recommend East Shore Park, just a 2-minute drive away. It’s a beautiful spot for enjoying the water and launching watercraft.
Winter Comfort Note
Due to the home’s mid-century modern design with high ceilings and over 50 large windows offering panoramic views of the lake and surrounding nature, the living and dining areas can be harder to fully warm during extreme cold conditions, especially when temperatures drop below −15°F and during windy winter days.
The bedrooms maintain a more comfortable temperature, and the home has central heating throughout. We also provide portable heaters for additional comfort. For colder winter stays, we recommend bringing an extra layer when spending time in the main living areas.
