Description Description
Nestled along the peaceful west side of Cayuga Lake, Captain’s Hideaway is the perfect escape for families, couples, and friends looking to unwind and reconnect. With 150 feet of natural lake frontage, a spacious interior designed for comfort, and a location close to the Cayuga Wine Trail, this beautiful home offers the ideal blend of relaxation and adventure. Whether you’re spending your days exploring the Finger Lakes or simply soaking in the lake views from the deck, Captain’s Hideaway will quickly become one of your favorite vacation destinations.

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. The expansive yard offers room for games of croquet, badminton, or catch, while the beachfront fire pit sets the perfect scene for evenings under the stars. Roast marshmallows, share stories, and watch the firelight reflect off the calm lake waters as the day winds down. A propane grill and ample patio furniture make outdoor dining effortless, and with only a few steps leading down to the water, the lake is always close at hand. Bring your lawn chairs, settle in by the fire, and let the peaceful rhythm of Cayuga Lake work its magic.

When you’re ready to explore, Captain’s Hideaway puts you close to some of the best attractions in the Finger Lakes region. Spend a day wine tasting along the Cayuga Wine Trail, where award-winning wineries offer scenic views and unforgettable flavors. Shop for deals at the Waterloo Premium Outlets, enjoy a scenic picnic at one of several nearby state parks, or dine at one of the region’s locally owned restaurants. Whether your ideal day includes exploring nature, tasting local wines, or simply lounging by the water, this home provides the perfect home base for your adventures.

From sunrise coffee on the deck to sunset bonfires by the shore, Captain’s Hideaway captures the essence of lake life—relaxed, beautiful, and full of simple joys.

Waking up to the view from both master bedrooms and the ease of using our boat right off the dock made the visit perfect for us.

We were very happy with the house, location and dock. The boys ages 6 and 8 enjoyed the open spaces below the house toward the lake. We rented a pontoon book for 5 days and the dock was great. Location was convenient to wineries and we went to several of them by boat as well as 2 restaurants on the east side.

The description of the property didn't do it justice. The location on the lake and the view from the back of the house were awesome. So peaceful and quiet.

Captain's Hideaway was the best place we have experienced in the Finger Lakes. The layout was perfect for our group of five adults, three children and a dog. We really enjoyed being there. We made all our meals in the well-equipped kitchen and ate some of them on the large deck. The kids enjoyed the balconies on two stories for a so-called bungee-jumping show with stuffed animals. We had a lot of fun.

Wonderful location on beautiful Cayuga lake!
This was even better the second time we rented! We loved sitting on the back porch in the morning watching the birds on the lake (including an eagle and swans). Comfy rooms and ample space, the dogs really appreciate the fenced in yard as well as the beach front and heated outdoor hose. We hope to continue to make this a yearly stop!!

Would highly recommend this house!!
The best house layout for (3) families total of 10. Open Floor Plan with lots of windows was awesome, the (2) futons in the library provided extra room for more sleeping arrangements, dining table fit all 10 of us, pantry and closet in kitchen was very helpful for 3 families to store food and stuff. Loved sitting by the double fireplace watching the sunrise and winding down at night. We stayed over Thanksgiving week and was able to make a full dinner in the well provided kitchen just like home, (there is a Keurig and stand up mixer, great dishes, utensils in the cabinets). The fenced dog run was awesome just open the door from the mudroom (great) and out they went, no stress! To cold outside to enjoy the yard, deck and dock, but that's a summer vacation. Had a great time and enjoyed our stay. Thank you owner!!

Location for this rental is outstanding. From the time you walk in, the first thing you see is Cayuga Lake right in front of you.  The first floor from the kitchen to the enclosed front deck is open and airy with the breezes coming through the screened doors.  Two master suites (1 on the first floor) is rarely available in a rental unit. We loved the fact we could fix meals in the well equipped kitchen & ate out dinners many nights on the huge front deck. All in all a great vacation for everyone.

We loved the Captains Hideaway. The view of the lake from the back from the back deck and also by looking out from inside was amazing.  This is a large property and easily accommodated our 10 family members. It is a great property if you have a dog.  You can put your pet on the deck and shut both gates so they can't get off while easily watching them from inside through the glass windows. We also brought our kayaks and kayaked a few properties over to a really cool creek that went through a tunnel under the road. My niece caught fish everyday off the dock. You do have to drive a little bit to get to stores so bring what you need. The whole area is beautiful and the lawn guy said we had the best view on lake Cayuga. I believe him!

The view was beautiful and we loved the location. The set-up for our dog was wonderful with a roomy crate for her to stay in while we went out to dinner.

Beautiful place with ample space.  The pictures do not lie.  It was extremely comfortable with many appreciated convenience.  TVs with cable/spectrum in both master bedrooms as well as blue-ray players .  The kitchen was well supplied with utensils, pots, and pans.  The oven took a little getting used to, but that is more of me not being familiar with its make/model.  The grill was wonderful and easily accessible.   The fenced-in area attached to the garage spanning from the front to side to the back porch gave the pups a good way to access a small yard while enjoying the outdoors or observing their humans (indoor or outdoor).  There were a larger number of Canada Goose than expected but they did not pose a big problem (maybe making the grass near the beachside a little dirty), but the beach was amazing with a gradual slope into the deeper water. We will definitely be looking to stay here in years to come!

Captain’s Hideaway is a beautiful recently remodeled home. The big open spaces on the first floor, with the rooms flowing into each other, create a comfortable situation. It’s location on Cayuga Lake, and the easy access to the lake, including the beautiful dock, make this a great place for a family to enjoy themselves.

This place is a gem! The view is spectacular and the house was definitely set up for a large group. Have never seen a kitchen so well supplied! The extra special doggy bags were a certainly a sweet touch!

Just stayed in Captains Hideaway-and loved it! This is a breathtaking property on the lake. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and the house is clean, comfortable, and well equipped. For small children and dogs- you will love the huge fenced deck and enclosed side yard off the laundry room. The furnishings inside and out were quite comfortable- even the beds were great- leaving my picky grown children nothing to complain about. The appliances were great- just wish there was a second fridge somewhere for additional beverage storage. We fished off the dock and caught many small fish. The house is within 20 minutes of major shopping and restaurants. If you are seeking a large top notch getaway rental on Cayuga Lake you probably won't find better. I would rent this house again- so many positives!!!!

The only thing we needed help with was turning on the tv. There were 3 remote controls, and it was hard to figure out which one was needed for which box. Written Instrctions in the home would have been helpful and saved us lots of time. We enjoyed the home and it accomodated 11 of us beautifully. Beuatiful home

Our family was very pleased with the property and the lake. The house was beautiful and well maintained. Everything we needed was right at our finger tips. Spacious enough for 5 families to enjoy the week. Loved that we were able to include our 2 dogs. Thank you Premier Properties for helping us plan and execute a perfect vacation for our family.

Overall the home we rented was very nice. The kitchen was very well stocked and the furnishings very comfortable. There was plenty of room for our guests to spread out when they wanted privacy but also there was plenty of room for us all to be together. I loved the large selection of books and puzzles that were available to use. Initially I was not at all happy about having to change homes due to a maintenance issue at the first home, but the rental we switched to turned out to be perfect for our needs. We will definitely consider renting this home again and would recommend Finger Lakes Premier Properties to our friends.
