Perfect weekend getaway
The location right on the lake was fantastic! The house was clean and great for a weekend getaway with friends. It was a quick easy drive to local wineries. Would definitely love to return.

Girls Getaway
Great stay! Beautiful setting & location was good. You pretty much have to drive everywhere you want to go, but that’s the setting of Romulus. (You’ll need a car.) The drive is very pretty! Highly recommend this property and this area!

Great updated house right on lake Cayuga. Wonderful deck with great views of sunrise. The house is very well a stock for all your needs in the kitchen, coffee/bar, and even has a great selection of life vests and paddles for kayaking. Great place for a family vacation or a weekend away to the wineries.

Family Vacation
Rod and Vine was the perfect place for our family. The location was excellent, house was spotless and very comfortable and it had everything we needed for our stay. We loved the wet bar and coffee station. Morning coffee on the deck or dock was a great way to start the day. Loved being able to use the kayaks and paddleboards, life jackets of all sizes were included. Vicinity to many wonderful wineries was a definite plus. We would definitely rent here again.

Quiet Bach Weekend
We picked this spot to visit some wineries and celebrate my sister getting married, while having a beautiful view of the lake. We had a great time, this home is well stocked with kitchen items, bedding, etc and we had no issues sharing the two full bathrooms between nine ladies. Great options for sleeping as well, generally lots of space. Definitely would come back.

Girls weekend
Had a great time at a great house and location. Views were spectacular. The house and deck were just right. Will definitely consider returning. Only thing we’d recommend is a screen for deck door.

We had a most excellent long weekend with college friends. This house was perfect. The views from the deck and breeze off the water were wonderful. We spent lots of time outside. The beds were comfortable bedrooms were nice size. Enjoyed the close winery amenities. If you go take advantage of the lake and also book a wine tour by boat.

The PERFECT long weekend
Enjoyed a getaway for a small bachelorette/bachelor celebration. We enjoyed to amazing weather, views, and wine the area had to offer. The set up in the house was super cute! We loved the bar and coffee area! The boat access was huge when we rented a pontoon boat for the day to stop at multiple wineries. I would highly recommend this place. Thank you and kudos to the hosts!!

We stayed at this property in August with 6 family members, 4 adults and 2 children. The home was lovely! The renovations were nicely done, beds all very comfortable.  The kitchen and bar area were very spacious and made it very comfortable for cooking, which we did every night!  Loved that many beach items were provided.  We loved using the paddle boards and kayaks!  Our entire family used the porch daily. We ate every meal out there, and had coffee and wine there too!  :)  The sunrises over the lake are just beautiful, highly recommend and can't wait to return!

A new favorite spot on beautiful Cayuga Lake
We rented the Rod and Vine for both our immediate and extended family for five nights and loved it! There were many different sleeping options/arrangements which was so helpful in accommodating all eight of us. We were all able to have our own space as well as enjoy the many common areas together. Each bedroom has its own thermostat, closet, nightstands, dresser which allowed for additional comfort. We spent mornings cooking and sharing breakfast together in the gorgeous open concept kitchen/bar area. The bar is absolutely gorgeous and the kitchen is stocked every dish, cup, utensil, pot, and pan imaginable. Having a washer and dryer available to us was an additional bonus and both very easy to operate. The entire house was spotless, organized, and well kept, both inside and out! Two of our favorite aspects were the upper/lower decks and the private dock. We spent every night together eating (sometimes grilling) on the lower deck with a beautiful view of the private dock and lake. The upper deck is connected to the master bedroom and shares the same amazing view. The dock is a perfect spot to fish, sunbathe, enjoy a cup of coffee or cocktail, and, for the more adventurous, jump into the lake. Having access to paddle boards, kayaks, and paddles as well as life jackets offered us a safe and fun way to explore the lake as well. In addition, the fire pit was awesome for making smores in the evening. As for the location, it was the perfect place to go and relax or explore. Ithaca is close enough to pick up groceries, go out to dinner, and/or check out the gorges. There are so many breweries/wineries to chose from along the way for wine/beer tasting and food. We also found ourselves in the cute, quaint town of Ovid, only about 15 min away, to pick up a pizza and to replenish our fishing bait. The Rod and Vine is honestly the perfect place to relax, rejuvenate, and spend time with family while exploring all of the beauty, food and drink the finger lakes region has to offer. We will definitely be back!!!!!

A quick getaway-Ideal location and amazing property!
Thank you for such a wonderful stay at The Rod & Vine. We didn't expect to do much in just a few days, but the property, location and beautiful accommodations allowed for lots of wine tasting, kayaking, lounging and great hiking! Sitting on the deck for hours felt just like a tropical getaway. Plus, the thoughtful touches just made the stay feel truly like a resort. We can't wait to come back!

My friends and I stayed at the Rod and Vine and were blown away by how beautiful the house was. The pictures did not do the house or property justice! Aside from relaxing at the lake there are tons of wineries and breweries within a few miles which made our stay even more enjoyable!
