Even more amazing than the pictures
What an amazing place with beautiful views. Perfect for two adult couples. Everything was new and clean. My only issue was that the en suite shower was very slippery and had no grab bars.we will definitely come back. It was just a wonderful stay.

Perfect lakefront cabin.
Second year staying at this property. Last year stayed at a different house on the property. Both houses were spectacular offering slightly different feels. The property owners are wonderful. Truly great people that are committed to their guests having the best experience possible. The lakefront cottage is nearly brand new. The owners did not cut any corners with this place. It is immaculate inside and out. The views are breathtaking from every room in the house. The furniture and beds are extremely comfortable. It is super clean. From the moment you enter the cottage you immediately fall into the relaxed lake vibe. We definitely did not want to leave. We will be back for sure.

Beautiful, clean and comfortable property in the heart of so many wonderful activities and experiences!! We enjoyed all the lake has to offer. Amenities provided by the property management company simplified what we needed to bring or purchase which gave us more time to relax and experience everything in the area. We biked and hiked, tasted wine and craft beer and liquor and cider, shopped antiques, and enjoyed various local foods including ice cream. We will definitely return to Cayuga Lake!!

For first time visitors to the Finger Lakes region, the Olver Farm Cottage was an excellent choice. The house was comfortable and lovely lovely with huge windows looking on the lake, and it had all the amenities we wanted. It made this a special trip -- and probably not our last to the area -- and maybe even to the same cottage!

Lake House Bliss
We had an unforgettable stay at this beautiful lake house on Cayuga Lake. The property was impeccably clean and incredibly comfortable, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The location is unbeatable, situated right on the lake, where we were able to watch breathtaking sunrises from the dock each morning. Fishing from the dock was a great success, and we caught plenty of fish! Being close to several of the local wineries added a delightful touch to our trip. We spent our days exploring the vineyards and sampling some delicious wines. In the evenings, we made a fire on the beach, sipped on our favorite finds, and watched stunning sunsets over the water. It was a perfect combination of relaxation and adventure. We highly recommend this lake house for anyone looking to experience the best of Cayuga Lake!

Beautiful Cottage
We really enjoyed our time here. This home is in the perfect location for visiting wineries and parks. It?s so nice and clean ? and that view can?t be beat. We loved looking at the water and trees from both inside and outside. The "master" bedroom, closet and bathroom are bigger than my first apartment! The kitchen had everything we needed too. We will definitely stay here during our next visit!

Lovely property. The view is amazing. All appliances are brand new and in great working order. We had an issue trying to use the dryer (operator error) and we called the owners. They responded quickly and helped us figure out the problem.  We found the location to be central to everything we wanted to do and see. We would definitely stay at the property again.

The view was fabulous. The home was decorated nicely, clean, comfortable and had a great deck and dock. The cinder gravel was a bit challenging for the 2 who used crutches and a walker.

We had a wonderful time staying at Olver Cottage. Absolutely beautiful home; perfect for two couples! The owners, Lisa and Neil made a last minute accommodation that made our stay even better --- and this was a huge request! We walked into this brand new home and were blown away by the wall of windows providing a stunning view of Cayuga Lake. Step outside onto the lovely deck and just enjoy the views. Truly such a relaxing way to spend some time while soaking up the beauty of the lake. The bedrooms were large, the living/dining/kitchen area was very spacious and well appointed. And everything you needed to cook your meals was provided. There are numerous wineries just a few minutes from the house and the area in general is just gorgeous. We would absolutely rent again and feel honored to have been the first to stay in this beautiful home.
