Experience lakeside luxury and comfort at A Shore Thing, a stunning Cayuga Lake vacation rental that redefines the meaning of relaxation. This spacious Finger Lakes vacation home was designed for families and groups who want the perfect balance of style, space, and serenity. With awe-inspiring lake views, generous indoor and outdoor living areas, and thoughtful amenities throughout, this home captures the very best of Finger Lakes living.
From the moment you arrive, the home’s open layout and expansive windows invite the light and beauty of Cayuga Lake indoors. The experience begins in the large four-season sunroom — a welcoming space where you can start your morning with coffee as the sun rises, play cards or board games in the afternoon, or simply sit and watch the lake shimmer through the glass. This room alone captures the easy elegance of A Shore Thing, setting the stage for a stay where every detail is designed for comfort and connection.
The open-concept kitchen and dining area make gathering effortless. Featuring sleek cabinetry, ample counter space, and an indoor grill with a professional-grade vent, this kitchen is ideal for preparing meals year-round. Cook with local produce from the Ithaca Farmers Market, sample wine from nearby vineyards, and create dinners to remember. The oversized dining table provides seating for everyone, and its proximity to the kitchen makes it easy to move between casual conversations and shared meals. Whether you’re hosting a family-style dinner or enjoying a simple breakfast before the day begins, this inviting space encourages everyone to come together.
The main living room continues the open flow, offering cozy seating, a flat-screen television, and a striking tiled fireplace that anchors the space. Surround sound fills the home with your favorite music, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. From morning coffee to movie nights, the living area offers the perfect setting for time spent together.
Two beautifully appointed bedrooms are also located on the main level, each with a queen-size bed, ceiling fan, and television. These rooms provide a peaceful retreat, offering guests both comfort and privacy. A nearby full bathroom with a double vanity and combination tub and shower adds convenience for families or friends sharing the space.
Down just a few steps, you’ll find the crown jewel of the home — a spectacular master suite that feels like a private spa. North-facing windows flood the room with natural light while framing serene lake views. A cozy gas fireplace and seating area create a romantic atmosphere, while two large closets provide plenty of space for your stay. The luxurious ensuite bathroom features a Jacuzzi tub, heated floors, and elegant finishes that make it easy to unwind after a day on the water.
On the opposite side of the home, a sunken living room with vaulted ceilings adds another dimension of comfort and style. Here, a second fireplace, a large TV, and sliding doors leading to the lakeside deck make this space perfect for evening gatherings or quiet moments with a glass of local wine. As the sun sets, step outside and watch the golden light dance across the surface of Cayuga Lake — a breathtaking view that will stay with you long after your stay ends.
The lower level offers even more ways to relax and have fun. A fourth bedroom with a queen bed and flat-screen TV ensures everyone has their own private space, while the expansive game room brings people together for hours of entertainment. Featuring a pool table, ping pong, dartboard, and big-screen television, it’s the ultimate hangout for guests of all ages. During the warmer months, screened garage doors can be opened to let in the cool lake breeze, while in the cooler seasons, the space stays warm and inviting.
Outside, A Shore Thing delivers an unforgettable lakefront experience. Just across the quiet road, 100 feet of pristine natural shoreline await. A lighted permanent dock extends into the water, offering the perfect spot for swimming, fishing, or launching a kayak. The level yard provides ample space for games or sunbathing, while a stamped concrete patio is ideal for outdoor dining and cookouts. As evening falls, sink into the six-person hot tub, surrounded by soft LED lighting and peaceful lake views. Whether you’re soaking under the stars or watching the moonrise over the water, this is the place where your worries fade away.
When it’s time to explore, A Shore Thing is perfectly situated for both adventure and relaxation. Located in the heart of the Finger Lakes, this vacation home is just a short drive from some of the region’s most beloved attractions. Spend the day exploring the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail, where dozens of award-winning wineries and tasting rooms await. Visit Taughannock Falls State Park, home to one of the tallest waterfalls east of the Rockies, or explore the scenic gorges and trails that wind through nearby parks.
A drive south brings you to Ithaca, a vibrant college town known for its charm, culture, and natural beauty. Stroll through the Ithaca Commons, dine at locally loved restaurants, and browse boutique shops before heading back to your private retreat. For shoppers, the Waterloo Premium Outlets are nearby, while nature lovers will appreciate the abundance of hiking, birdwatching, and photography opportunities that surround the area.
At the end of each day, return to the quiet luxury of A Shore Thing. Light a fire, pour a glass of wine, and listen to the soft rhythm of the lake through the open windows. The combination of modern design, natural beauty, and thoughtful amenities makes this home a standout among Finger Lakes vacation rentals. It’s a place where families bond, couples reconnect, and friends create stories to share for years to come.
Whether you’re planning a family reunion, a romantic weekend, or a group getaway, A Shore Thing delivers the perfect blend of sophistication and comfort. From sunrise reflections on the water to starlit evenings by the hot tub, every moment here celebrates the simple joys of lakeside living. If you’ve been dreaming of a place that feels both luxurious and familiar — where laughter fills the air and time slows down — this stunning Cayuga Lake vacation home is, indeed, A Shore Thing.
