About this house rental

Looking to book your next family get-away? Look no further! This spacious home situated beautifully on 200' of Cayuga lakefront will be sure to please with a heated in-ground pool in the summer, a game room to enjoy in the cooler months and expansive views/access to the lake.

Walking in on the main floor, you'll find a large open floor plan.  The Dining Room, Kitchen and Living Room are all open to each other with high vaulted ceilings and tiled floors.  There is plenty of seating in the Living Room area with 2 separate dining tables.  The large dining room table seats 10 and there is an additional smaller table that seats 5.

The kitchen is fully stocked with cookware and dinnerware and has an island with additional seating space.

Off of the kitchen, you'll find a large office room with a gas fireplace, games, sofa, desk and TV.  This room has doors that walk out onto the driveway as well as a door that closes this room off from the rest of the house, making it a quiet office space if necessary.

The Main bedroom on the main floor has a King size bed with french doors that open out onto the deck overlooking the lake.  There is a large full bath attached to the master bedroom with a walk in shower.
The second bedroom on the main floor has another King size bed and the main floor full bathroom is just outside this bedroom door.  This bathroom has a tub/shower combo.

Downstairs you'll walk into the family room with several couches, a pool table, several bar tables, a wine bar area, large screen TV with SONOS surround sound and the wine room.  This large open family room has 3 sets of doors that open out onto the covered concrete patio overlooking the lake and to the pool area .  The wine room has a small sink as well as a mini fridge.

You'll also find two more bedrooms downstairs.  Bedroom 3 has 2 sets of Double beds and doors that lead out onto the patio and the pool.  Bedroom 4 has a Queen bed and a  Twin/Double bunk combo.  There is an additional 3rd full bathroom between these two bedrooms with a tub/shower combo.
The laundry room is also downstairs with a washer and dryer for you to use.

The lawn is large enough for lawn games and has level access to the water with several hundred feet of private lake front. The dock area is great for fishing, swimming, or just relaxing and enjoying the views. There are 4 kayaks at the house as well--2 doubles and 2 singles.

If you're not fond of swimming in the lake, there is a lovely heated in-ground pool overlooking the lake, for your enjoyment, with a seating area and charcoal oven, pool-side (pool is only available in the summer months from mid-May to the end of September)!  There are many beautiful flower gardens surrounding the house, the pool and patio.

The home is aptly named Goose House because of the many Canadian geese you'll see on the lake.  During migration periods, there are flocks of geese that may come to the shoreline/edge of the yard.   If you do not enjoy watching the geese or find wildlife to be a nuisance, this property may not be the best fit for you, but if you enjoy watching wildlife and birds you will absolutely love watching the lake habitats from the windows of the house, the yard or the lake itself.  The expansive view of the lake is phenomenal, fishing is good, and the wildlife is enjoyable to observe.

The house has a large wrap around deck facing the lake and there is plenty of outdoor dining space as well as a large gas grill.

Located just 30 minutes North of Ithaca and 30 minutes from Auburn, this home is easily accessible and close to area attractions, all while still having privacy and easy lake access. Enjoy your morning coffee on the large deck, facing East with stunning views of the lake.

We look forward to hosting you!

Goose House exceeded all expectations. The view of the lake is amazing, with a big yard and nice spots to swim in the lake, and plenty of room in the pool. Everything felt bigger than it looked in the photos. There were many spots to hang out inside and out, and all the bedrooms were nice. Plenty of vineyards nearby.

This vacation home had some good things. The pool was beautiful, clean and warm. We loved the pool. The house was in a farming location and it was nice to hear and see the sheep that live across the street, the kids readily enjoyed that. The things we didn’t enjoy so much was this house needed a heavy duty cleaning. We entered the house to several flys and swatted about 40 of them during the week. The refrigerator needed a good cleaning, the ceilings had cobwebs all over and the air conditioning vent area was filthy. The AC sounded like a jet engine turning on so woke us up every time it kicked on during the night. Some furniture was warn, ripped and needed replacing. This home didn’t appear to be well kept. The grass was cut but landscaping was overgrown. We had to clean and reassemble the grill to use it since someone before us took it apart. The outside of the house needed to be pressure washed badly. We didn’t complain to Linger Hospitality until we checked out, but they never responded. This was a very expensive weekly rent and I was so badly wanting to love this home, but it was a disappointment.
