Cayuga Sunshine

Clean, orderly house with both common areas and separate spaces for privacy. Only real issue is limited hot water in the shower; if you're looking for shower of more than 5, 6 minutes, you'll be out of luck. Kitchen is orderly and functional, BR (only used one) perfectly fine. Joined LR-Kitchen-Dining area offers lovely lake views. WiFi worked fine. Would've appreciated basic TV to allow for watching local news and weather; it's BYO premium channels, FYI, and no basic channels provided. About 1 mile to north end of Aurora, another half mile to compact, picturesque campus of Wells College - which is worth a walk-around 'cause it's so pretty.

Main floor has a good layout with wonderful lake views. The kitchen is well appointed and easy to use. Having a bathroom for each bedroom is great, too.

Luxury on the lake pretty much sums it up. This home is spacious but cozy. The 2 main floor bedrooms with on suites was a real plus for our 2 couple group. The upper level bedroom also provides a full bath. The kitchen was beautiful and functional. Well stocked with dishes and utensils. Great coffee bar! The beds were comfortable...another big plus. The home was exceptionally clean and organized (no clutter). The upper level game area was nice with a great view of the lake. The walk to the beach wasn't far for us but just note the driveway might be considered long for some. The private beach is across the road at the end of driveway.We were able to enjoy an awesome camp fire our first night. Plenty of wood , chairs and tables provided. Solar patio lights added to the beautiful Autumn evening. Well worth the walk! We would definitely rent again if we return to the area.

Perfect property close to Aurora. Very updated, clean and quiet. I would highly recommend this beautiful home with a great lake view while visiting the Finger Lakes.

Janina G from Orlando, Florida - Stay Date: 6/15/2022

Great view of the lake and sunsets. Very roomy, clean, and quiet. Long Point Park and the boat launch just a few miles away.

Kevin F from Hudson, New Hampshire - Stay Date: 7/22/2023

My family enjoyed our visit. The house is exactly as pictured and equipped with everything you could need for a week. There are hiking trails on the property that my husband and I enjoyed. We spent most of our time hiking the falls in Ithaca, Watkins Glen and Seneca Mills Falls. It is a drive to go places but the views are spectacular so we didn't mind. The only downside to our trip is, we all decided, that we didn't plan to stay 2 weeks.

Pam F from Quakertown, Pennsylvania - Stay Date: 7/15/2023

Beautiful home, beautiful property, amazing views! We loved watching the sun set both from the beach and from the windows inside the house. Great place to stay for our family vacation, the kids loved the puzzles and the swing out side. We loved that it was spacious enough for everyone to have their own space. Highly recommend. 

Amanda D from Brunswick, Ohio - Stay Date: 6/18/2023

Spacious, comfortable home in a peaceful setting. Easy access to village, McKenzie Childs and wineries.

Beth R from Dublin, California - Stay Date: 6/4/2022

Loved this lake house! Clean, short walk to the water and in a cute little town. Kitchen was well equipped and the decor was adorable. Will be back!

Kelsey M from Baltimore, Maryland - Stay Date: 6/24/2023

Great property. Beautiful home. Beautiful view of Lake Cayuga. We traveled to activities and enjoyed time in this beautiful home cooking and playing games. Thank you!

Karen A from Cincinnati, Ohio - Stay Date: 7/24/2022

I am a very picky person and I don’t like many rentals. I also have an extremely high opinion of what clean is. This house is squeaky clean, beautiful, great size and the views are outstanding. So private with lots of space for the kids to run around inside and out. The service was great as well! I’m very impressed 

Amy Y from Raleigh, North Carolina - Stay Date: 6/21/2022

The house was spotless, with some great amenities. Walked over to the lake, just across the end of the driveway. Easy check in.

Karen M from Great location for a quiet get away! - Stay Date: 3/29/2023

Great stay, the house was wonderful.

Christopher H from Orchard Park, New York - Stay Date: 7/2/2022

We loved this home. It was lovely and filled with many amenities, especially in the well-stocked kitchen. It was especially nice to have a bathroom for each bedroom. Having a dedicated space for an activities/play room was a definite plus.

Louis B - Stay Date: 10/8/2022

This was perfect for our ladies get away. Having our own bedroom with bath was a plus. We were close to restaurants and leisure activities and spent time lakeside enjoying the sun and beautiful sunsets.

Karen C - Stay Date: 9/18/2022

My girlfriends and I had a wonderful long weekend in Aurora at Cayuga Sunshine.  The home was beautiful, comfortable and up to date. The waterfront chairs and fire pit made for beautiful evenings to watch the sunset. We wined, dined and shopped and can't wait to return.  Thank you!

Kim H - Stay Date: 9/29/2022

Beautiful location; easy access to the house and view that was spectacular without having to see many cottages crowded next to one another.

Theresa K - Stay Date: 10/21/2022

Above average experience which is quite good. We have rented several homes. This has very nice furnishings and a functional kitchen.

Kimberly B - Stay Date: 12/30/2022

We loved the beautiful home and views from the many windows. It had everything we needed, from kitchen ware to games. We loved watching the deer come each evening to dine on fallen apples from the apple trees in the front yard. We loved the proximity to the village of Aurora and many nice wineries. It was extremely relaxing and we look forward to another vacation in the area in the future. We didn't realize we'd need to cross a busy road to get to the lake, but that worked out fine.

My siblings and their spouses (3 senior couples) found this house to meet most all of our needs. Each of us had our own bed and bathroom which is a real plus. We really enjoyed the game room. We brought our own reversible curling/shuffleboard and had tournaments. We set up a puzzle on the lower table which was a bit of a challenge for our knees and backs. And, we used the table upstairs for late night pinochle games. The lighting downstairs in the dining area leaves something to be desired. The florescent lights hum, put out dim lighting, and periodically one of the bulbs would go out. The only other criticism is the lack of ESPN on the TV. It was baseball playoff time and it would have been nice to watch these games. The house is beautiful. The kitchen very well stocked. And we watched a family of deer come by everyday to sample apples from the trees out front. The firepit area by the lake is a lovely, peaceful place to watch the sunset and enjoy s'mores.

This house was great! The views in the living room and kitchen area were gorgeous. You could see the lake and sunsets. We saw eagles, deer, and other wildlife during our stay. The kitchen is nicely equipped and open. The bedrooms are cozy, and it was nice having laundry onsite. The best part was the private beach. We watched the sunset every night and had a campfire, while the water grazed our toes. I would definitely stay here again!

It was the perfect house for a weekend wedding in Aurora. The home was spotless and beautiful. It has everything you need for a wonderful weekend away. We loved it and would absolutely stay here again.

Amy J from Summit Hill, PA - Stay Date: 10/15/2021

Lovely house with an amazing view. The kitchen is pretty new, and had everything needed to prep meals. We explored the area; there's a lot to do. Highly recommend Quarry Ridge Winery which is only about 3 miles up the road.

Thank you for the 5 star rating. We are happy to see that you enjoyed your stay and we hope to host you again soon.

My family and I stayed at the home for a long weekend. We had a great time relaxing, and hanging out at the lake. The kids loved the swing in the yard, and rolling down the hills. We will definitely be back!

Ayana Q - Stay Date: 10/10/2020

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was neat and clean. The pictures represent the property well. I even had a surprise in the large empty room upstairs as it was the perfect place for early morning yoga. The views were spectacular. The fire pit located across the street was well maintained and the fire ring was large enabling us to fit lots of wood to keep ourselves comfortable on a chilly fall day. It’s a beautiful spot would definitely rent this place again.

Julie F - Stay Date: 10/24/2020

Clean, comfort and updated.

Keila D - Stay Date: 6/6/2021

The house is beautiful and very comfortable - perfect for the family time. It is exceptionally clean, equipped with all needed cooking equipment for any meals and nicely decorated with colors and textures to complement the feel of the local environment. We specially enjoyed the views of the lake in the bright and spacious family room joined with the kitchen in open plan design. It’s a bit of the drive to the major state parks but the cozy house makes up for the distance. We really enjoyed our stay!!

Yuliya A - Stay Date: 4/24/2021

My friends and I came and had an amazing long weekend here and enjoyed amazing views of Cayuga Lake. The house is very clean, has a great layout and was well decorated. The kitchen had great appliances/pots/pants but did not come with cooking oil so be sure to bring that and any of your favorite spices if you are planning to cook (otherwise, there is a Wegman's about 30 mins away). We utilized the grill and the fire pit each night and it did not disappoint! The location was really easy as we wanted to stay near wineries and our favorite ended up being down the road from this house which worked out perfectly. There is also a game room (with board games) and a foosball table which we utilized when it was a bit rainy and enjoyed dinner outside when it was nice to see the sunset off the lake. We would absolutely come again - already thinking about a return trip next year!
