This stunning 3-level Contemporary Colonial Home is right on the water and has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.. An upscale luxury home that provides everything you will need for a relaxing, stress-free vacation. Every level has a lake view that won't disappoint.
Top level features a gorgeous Master bedroom with a King-size bed, spacious on-suite, soaking tub with a lake view, water closet, coffee/wine station, desk/work area and private balcony. Enjoy your morning coffee or sip some wine in the evening and take in all that lake life has to offer.

The kitchen is stocked with everything you will need to prepare meals with ease. The dining area has a bay window and gives you exceptional views of the lake while you dine. The table comfortably seats eight and the island has three stools. There are two bedrooms on this level; one bedroom features a Queen-size bed and the second has a Twin-size bed and a twin trundle bed. Each room has a tv and they share a full size bathroom. This level also includes a spectacular wrap-around porch. There is plenty of seating plus a large dining table. Peek around the corner and you will see a gas grill available.

The Game Room:
The garage has been transformed into an awesome game room. Grab a partner and play pool, ping pong, air hockey, bubble hockey, foosball, darts or shuffleboard. Take a bike ride on one of the four bicycles provided. A refrigerator/freezer is also available to keep your drinks cold.
The Backyard:
Lounge on the 125' of lakefront property or hang out on the dock with lots of seating provided. An indoor storage area has everything you will need: floaties, coolers, outdoor entertaining trays, drink buckets, beach towels, children's activities, grill accessories, life jackets and many games. The stone patio area offers a large outdoor dining area with market umbrellas, custom stone gas grill and custom stone gas fire table. Not enough? There are many places to relax: lounge chairs, hammock or the Adirondack chairs surrounding the firepit. You can also bring your boat or jet ski on vacation (let me know if you intend to bring a boat or jet ski). Tie up on the dock or use the lifts.
Still want more? All this is on the East side of the lake in Ovid, where there is a panoramic view of every sunset.
The Destinations:
Your lakeside retreat is located in the heart of wine country. You'll be surrounded by wineries, breweries and cideries. Need more activities? Sampson State Park offers biking trails, hiking, swimming, a playground, arcade, movies, pontoon rentals, boat launch and boat trailer storage. They also have live music and a food truck every Friday evening. There is a walking/biking trail to Sampson State Park just past the house at the end of the road. Try your luck at Del Lago Resort/Casino. Spend the day shopping at Waterloo Premier Outlets. Bring your golf clubs and play at Bonavista State Golf Course. Don't forget all that Taughannock State Park has to offer: waterfalls, gorge trails, swimming and hiking. Ovid also has many fruit and vegetable stands. Ithaca, Watkins Glen and Geneva are only a half hour away and offer festivals, boat cruises, night life, shopping and restaurants.

What a Gem! My husband and I are frequently travelers and I can say with certainty that this was the nicest VRBO pick we have ever made. The house was beautifully located and it was impeccable. The Amenities exceeded any 5 star hotel I've ever stayed in. I completely fell in love with this property. The interior design was out of a magazine. Jill was very responsive to all our questions and it was a total delight to spend the weekend at this magnificent home. Very highly recommended. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would have!

The most beautiful house we’ve rented in the FLX in 7 years of visiting annually. The host thought of everything and all the little touches were greatly appreciated. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the kitchen had everything we could have wanted/needed and more. We absolutely loved staying here!

The entire house is amazing. From the moment we walked in until we left, we could not get over the cleanliness and have the hostess, Jill, had thought of every single thing. A welcome basket was waiting for us as well to enjoy!The house has too many amenities to even mention. The listing was very accurate.!

First of all, we find communication with the owner or "manager to be of paramount importance and owner Jill deserves 5Stars for her complete and most timely response to all inquiries we made to her, no matter how inconsequential.The property itself was as expressed in the listing and better. It was very apparent that there was a great deal of thought into laying out, labeling and directions for all aspects of the comfort for our stay. The physical property was in pristine condition, and the master suite was like a spa. Kudos to Jill for the attention to detail and very successfully anticipating needs of the renter making the experience tops from start to finish. If we have occasion to return to the area, this property will be the first one for which we check availability.
