The Lily Pad

The house was even more beautiful than pictured. The property is an amazing piece! Our family had such a wonderful time on this trip and we will definitely be back. The rental process was super easy and while I never needed anything while on this trip I was left feeling confident that if I did it would be taken care of ASAP. Overall one of the best, most relaxing trips ever!

Absolutely Stunning Cayuga Lake House!

Beautiful lakefront property, nicely decorated, sparkling clean, and with many amenities. We came to spend some family time together when travel and tourism don't feel safe, and this was a lovely spot to gather and enjoy the view from the decks and the dock. The kitchen is amazingly well-equipped and spacious, so we did a lot of cooking and baking. Almost a shame, because in normal times this area has a number of restaurants we would try.

Amazing location, amazing property, amazing time! Can’t wait to return.

Absolutely Stunning Cayuga Lake House!

This place is gorgeous. The location was perfect for us to have a great few days at the lake. The house is beautiful and wonderfully laid out. We are already talking about going back!

We enjoyed the house and it looked like the pictures. The views and outdoor furniture was perfect. The kitchen was well set up and the pool table was fun.

2019 Family Vacation

The Lily Pad was a wonderful place to spend the week with our family. The amenities were fantastic. The views of the lake are spectacular. The rooms are clean and comfortable and all modern upgrade appliances. It was very quiet and peaceful location. We look forward to returning next year.

June 2019 Stay

This vacation rental was perfect for our girls weekend at the local wineries. The house was stunning with a lake view in almost every room of the house. There are plenty of private and communal spaces to relax, and the house was staged like a 5-Star hotel. Everything was so clean and tidy.

June 2018 Stay

The lily pad was a wonderful home to spend the weekend. Located right on the Cayuga Lake, the home offers spectacular views, with peaceful surroundings.

We could not have been happier. The Lily Pad was gorgeous and had everything we needed. Could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you.

The house exceeded our expectations. The property was beautiful, well maintained inside and out. The beds and bedding was very comfortable, which I find to be one of the biggest challenges when staying at rental houses. It was great to have indoor entertainment with the pool table, chess board and covered patio when it rained. All in all a house I would rent again.

Our family, which represented a wide range of ages, was interested in a quiet vacation retreat where we could reconnect. The Lily Pad was the perfect fit. The approach, a private winding gravel road, led to a newly constructed lakeside house perched on a bluff. The property was incredible! Expansive walls of glass blended the natural beauty of Cayuga Lake with interior decor pallet of subtle neutral tones. Sunrise from the loft was breathtaking. The house was immaculate and tastefully decorated. The sounds of water breaking on the shoreline were overheard. The property was full of entertaining amenities including a hot tub, fire pit, state of the art grill, and billiard table. Puzzles, board games and DVDs were available. There were several floors and secluded areas allowing our party to comfortably convene, as well as, retreat. The dock was equipped to accommodate large and small watercraft. We put in canoes and kayaks and hired a private boat charter to pick us up for a tour of the lake. We also fished from the dock and our Uncle Stan was a fixture on its Adirondack chairs. There was plenty within reach outside the property too. We hiked, wine tasted, attended a NASCAR race, toured Cornell U., and dined out. The Lily Pad is highly recommended!
