My brothers and our families traveled from Southeastern Pennsylvania (easy drive up 476 & 81) to stay at this Cayuga Lake home to celebrate our mother's 85th birthday with her two sisters (90 & 93) and brother (101!) who live close by in the Central NY area. The lakefront offered lots of fun activities (canoe on-site), with the dock accommodating our 18' Sea Ray (boat ramp & trailer storage at Taughannock Park marina). The location was fantastic - isolated and quiet, but close enough to Ithaca and Taughannock Falls State Park for tours and outings (either by car or boat) plus shopping and errands. We caught a lot of fish, too, and mostly from the dock. My 10-year-old nephew had a lot of fun playing along the shore and swimming in the lake with his dog while us older "boys" did a bit of wake boarding and water skiing. We enjoyed and fully utilized the chef's kitchen and outdoor grill to cook-up quite a few hearty meals to keep everyone energized throughout the day, enjoying food & drink plus the wonderful views from the various decks. The hot tub had strong jets and was just the right size to relax in before a good nights slumber in the very comfortable tempur-pedic beds. All-in-all a superb experience for us all.

Thanks Elissa & Mark!
