As you arrive, a level yard and easy flat walkway lead you to the semi-private latticed porch. The wide doorway and smooth entry make access simple, and from the moment you step inside, you’ll feel right at home. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need for family meals or quiet mornings—featuring a gas stove, side-by-side refrigerator and freezer, dishwasher, microwave, and plenty of counter space. Whether you’re preparing a gourmet dinner or a quick snack between lake adventures, this kitchen makes cooking effortless and enjoyable.
The open-concept living and dining area welcomes you with bright natural light streaming through a wall of windows overlooking the lake. The centerpiece of this inviting space is a two-sided propane fireplace that adds both warmth and ambiance. Curl up with a good book, watch a favorite movie, or gather for a board game as the glow of the fire fills the room. The adjacent game area offers a table for cards, puzzles, or family games, while sliding doors lead to the lakeside deck—perfect for dining outdoors or simply relaxing as the sun rises over Cayuga Lake.
For those who appreciate a quiet space to unwind, the library just off the kitchen is a hidden gem. With its full futon, comfortable sofa, and well-stocked shelves, it’s the ideal retreat for reading, working remotely, or enjoying a peaceful afternoon nap. The Wi-Fi hub is located here, providing a strong and steady connection throughout the home. A half bathroom and laundry room sit just off the kitchen, adding convenience for longer stays.
The main-floor primary suite offers a relaxing haven with a king-size bed, private ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower, and sliding glass doors that open to the lakeside deck. Wake up to the soft sounds of the water and step outside to sip your morning coffee as the lake shimmers in the early light. Upstairs, a second primary suite mirrors this sense of tranquility, featuring another king-size bed, ensuite bath with a walk-in shower, and private balcony overlooking the lake. A desk in this room makes it easy for working vacationers to stay connected without missing a moment of the view.
Two additional upstairs bedrooms provide plenty of space for family or guests. One features a queen-size bed and large picture window with lake views, while the other offers two twin beds—perfect for children or friends sharing a room. A spacious full bathroom with a separate tub and shower completes the upper floor, ensuring everyone has room to spread out and relax.
Captain’s Hideaway is thoughtfully designed for families traveling with pets. The large laundry room provides access to an outdoor dog kennel, and two large crates, food bowls, and a waste bin are available for guest use. With a level, grassy yard and plenty of space to play, this home is as enjoyable for four-legged guests as it is for their humans. Please note that dogs are not permitted on the second floor.
Outside, the possibilities for relaxation and recreation are endless.
