Lake House
Overall this is a great house on the lake! The parking situation is a bit of a headache if you have you have more then 2 cars. The auxiliary parking at deans cove state park is confusing. It clearly states no overnight parking there, even though this is the direction from the owners. One of our cars received a warning ticket on the last night of our stay. Also make sure to bring cleaning supplies. Specifically trash bags and dish soap. We quickly ran out of the small amount that were left for us.

Thank you for sharing your feedback! We're pleased to let you know that the owners are actively addressing the parking situation by leasing additional spots from neighboring properties. This will create space for two more vehicles, just in time for the peak 2025 rental season. We're excited to offer these extra parking options and resolve this concern for good!

Great place
This place was very comfortable to stay. Well stocked kitchen with utensils, dishes, and appliances. The outdoors area was great for sunrises and coffee in the morning. The swimming was wonderful for the kids and adults. Fishing was unbelievable right off the dock. At least five large fish caught and released and my grandson caught at least 8 little ones. Our families had a fantastic time with many things to do in the area. Would recommend this place to anyone.

Great Getaway!!
We really enjoyed our stay at the Cayuga Gray on Cayuga Lake! The house was very clean and roomy and was perfect for our little getaway! The kitchen does not have a crockpot just as an FYI but other than that no complaints. Great place to stay!!!

Wonderful vacation home
We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful vacation home. It was comfortable, clean, and well maintained. Our only issue was that we could only park two cars at the house due to new regulations. We needed to park the extra car in a nearby parking lot.

A great location for our girls weekend in the finger lakes.
There was plenty of space and we love opening the door and being right on the water. We ate in a couple of nights and had great use of the kitchen and the living room was great for lounging.

Relaxing get away

We had a lovely stay at Cayuga Gray. There was plenty of room for eight of us. The accommodations were very clean and modern. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. There were plenty of games and puzzles provided as well as plenty of storage for food, clothing, etc. The barbecue outback worked out well and we were able to use the fire pit. The views of the lake from the living room, as well as the front porch are wonderful! Nice area outside to sit either in the sun or the shade. The provision of the kayaks was so convenient. Being centrally located on the lake was nice to be able to take advantage of a lot that was in the area. There was an unexpected issue with a tree branch that needed to be removed. Both the realtor and the homeowners were very responsive. The only recommendation that I would make would be for more chairs and maybe a long table on the front porch, which would provide more variety of seating and eating options. We would definitely stay here again!

Cayuga Gray is very comfortable, and its location on the lake fantastic, with immense views. Although its proximity to Rte. 89 means you can hear road noise, this was not an issue and it was very quiet at night.

Cornell Graduation Weekend 2023

Beautiful, airy home on a lake with lots of sunlight. Gorgeous sunrises. Can't beat the sounds of the lake and the brilliance of the sun reflecting on the water, as you drink your morning coffee. Well stocked kitchen, tons of extra pillows and covers. We used the kayaks and fished from the dock. Lots of nice wineries within 5-20 min drive. We ate at Wolffy's which is right on the lake 10 min away. Great food. Overall great stay and we would love to stay here again.

Great location & floor plan

Great house & would recommend renting it. The house is right on the lake with access directly into the lake. Upper deck for beautiful views or in the warmth of the entry room. The home was modern, simple, tastefully decorated & clean. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals-it was very well stocked. Plenty of games & puzzles, extra blankets & pillows if you need them. Beds are comfortable. Please note that it is a three bedroom property with additional sleeping areas available on the pull-out couch in the entry room & a trundle bed in an area off to the side of the master bedroom. There are three actual bedrooms with doors/privacy. To access the shower in the master bedroom, you step into the Jacuzzi tub-not an issue, but good to know if someone has mobility issues & is planning on using that bathroom. The other bathroom has a standard stand-up shower (no tub). Shower pressure was good & bathrooms had plenty of room for storage. Property was very clean & well maintained. Living area downstairs has a great open floor plan for hanging out & a 1/2 bathroom is right off of the living room. Wineries are very close by. About 1/2 hour drive to Ithaca and 1 hour to Greek Peak. We really enjoyed our stay in this home & would recommend it to others.

New Years Weekend

The home- Cayuga Gray- was absolutely lovely. It was just as pictured with great sleeping space for our family and nice gathering areas with great views of Lake Cayuga. Great sunrise through the cloud cover of a December morning from the bedroom balcony. Nice kitchen with all the necessary tools to cook meals and bake. Great place and we look forward to coming back with the entire family.
