Sunset over Cayuga Lake from the lakehouse deck
Welcome to Nirvana on the Lake

Stunning sunsets. Flaming fall foliage. A lake that becomes the room.

Prepare to be wowed the moment you walk in. Wall-to-ceiling windows pull the natural light and uninterrupted Cayuga Lake views straight into the heart of the home, and a gourmet kitchen makes lingering inside as appealing as stepping out.

Step onto the expansive deck for direct lake access, then immerse yourself in the arts, food, and culture of Ithaca just ten minutes away. Whether you're here for a wine-tasting weekend, a family vacation, or a quiet escape, this is summer the way it's supposed to feel.

The views are unreal. We sat on the deck every morning with coffee and every evening for sunset — and the kayaks made the lake feel like our backyard. We're already trying to book it again.

Came up for Cornell graduation and could not have picked a better spot. The house is even nicer in person, the kitchen is incredible for hosting, and the location is unbeatable.

A true upgrade. Spotless, beautifully designed, and the dock and hammock turned a long weekend into the most relaxing trip we've taken in years. The hosts were responsive and lovely.
