The Duck In was a fantastic place for a family vacation or time with far away friends. Our group had 4 adults and 5 kids, and everyone was comfortable, especially the kids who had their own hang out space in the basement. We LOVED the shallow walk in beach front and the dock for fishing. The proximity to wineries and the Beer Garden was incredible! We will be back!

The Duck-In provides a heavenly retreat to guests wanting to stay by Cayuga Lake in the Finger Lakes region. Its prime location by the lake offers guests with amazing views of the lake and surrounding areas throughout the day.

Being by the lake also allows guests easy access to the water and the ability to easily enjoy recreational activities with the equipment they supply (kayaks, the canoe and the paddle boat). The house offers a well built dock should you decide to bring your own boat.

The Duck-In is very well appointed with all the amenities guests may need and more. The house is in pristine condition with updated fixtures, upgraded bathrooms, and modern kitchen with all needed appliances and utensils to host up to 9 guests comfortably.

We were a group of five adults who really enjoy cooking fine meals. We were pleasantly surprised to find all the necessary kitchen tools and appliances for cooking, grilling and baking to our great satisfaction.

The Duck-In is perfect for people wanting to find a secluded and peaceful location to work remotely and maintain social distancing, while at the same time enjoying the serenity and beauty of the area. Internet service is of high quality with great bandwidth. The layout of the house offers different spaces for people to find their areas for work if need be.

If you enjoy walking, biking and/or jogging, you will have plenty of opportunities to explore the beautiful countryside with manicured farmland, some of which are run by Amish and Mennonites.

This house is also conveniently located near several wineries, Buttonwood Grove Winery being one of them (less than 1 mile away) and it is walking distance to the Boathouse Beer Garden on Route 89.

For nature lovers, we highly recommend guests to visit Taughannock Falls State Park and Watkins Glen State Park, among many of the local parks in the Finger Lakes region.

We look forward to returning to the Duck-In in the near future and experience a memorable stay once again. We absolutely recommend this home to anyone looking for a special retreat by Cayuga Lake.

We loved our weekend at The Duck Inn. A perfect escape from the COVID lockdown. It was very easy to extend our stay, and we were

very glad that we did. It is a lovely spot on the lake. We spent most of the day sitting on the back porch. The house is also located very

close to several wineries. The folks at FLPP were very easy to work with and quickly answered my questions.

The Duck-In did not disappoint. A week full of relaxation. Everything was wonderful. The house was equipped with everything we needed. The swimming, kayaking, and fishing were the best. We also took a hike through Taughannock Falls, had lunch at the Thirsty Owl Winery. The Beer Garden across the street was a nice surprise. We enjoyed the live music! 

Thanks for making our stay a memorable one! See you FLX <3

We had such a great family reunion here at the lake! We did a beautiful hike at Taughannock Falls, then spent the afternoon exploring the nearby vineyards. Be sure to check out Slingshot Chuckin at Varick Vineyards - so much fun! We can't wait to come back for another relaxing weekend here at The Duck-In.

Five nights with wonderful friends - it doesn't get much better than sharing time together in the Finger Lakes! We're from SE Michigan and our friends are from the Boston area, so this was a perfect meeting spot (380 mile drive for each of us). The Duck-In was such a nice home base for winery tours, shopping, dining, and sightseeing in the area. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the extra touches. We loved the view, morning, noon and night.

What a wonderful week! My husband and I brought our 4 month old son up to the FLX for our first family vacation. The Duck-In did not disappoint! We enjoyed everything the house and the area had to offer. The house is very well-maintained and had everything we needed for the week. We loved sitting on the covered deck as well as inside - so many windows to enjoy a beautiful view! The kitchen is well stocked, there an abundance of towels, blankets, etc. You can get to so many attractions from here as well - we enjoyed Three Brothers Winery, Muranda Cheese, Twisted Rail Brewery, and a beautiful drive to Ithaca. The Village Soft Serve Ice Cream Shop in Ovid is a must try! We will definitely be back!

The cottage was very clean and welcoming. Having everything supplied made life a lot easier. Relaxing on the dock or the deck was great. Even the neighbors were nice. Thanks for a great experience.

A wonderful house in a wonderful location!
We spent an amazing weekend here in the fall. Wish we could have stayed longer. Everything is updated, very clean and well decorated . It truly felt like home, so comfortable and relaxing. The king beds were an added bonus and really comfortable. The kids loved having their own hangout space downstairs with all the beds, a couch, TV, ping pong table, etc. We spent the evenings star gazing on the huge dock and sitting by the fire and making s'mores. The beautiful lake is right in front of you and a winery is right behind you. I would most definitely return and would highly recommend staying at this property. This place is amazing and a great place to unwind. You won't be disappointed!

We recently spent time at the Duck In celebrating my birthday with family and friends and had a fantastic time. The lake house easily accommodated all nine of us! Wineries, breweries, and restaurants were so close and the lake even closer! The views were amazing from both inside the house, on the balcony, and of course the dock. We will definitely be returning soon!
