Lakefront Cottage Paradise! Welcome to your oasis of tranquility, nestled on the idyllic West side of Cayuga Lake in Ithaca, NY. Graduate, PhD students, professors, or other professionals. This is not undergraduate housing. No Short-Term Renting or Subletting. Key Features... Fully Furnished: Beds: one queen, four twins, one full futon. Large dining room table, cozy living room and two additional sitting room areas. Kitchen is fully equipped. All linens are provided. Amazing Lakefront Location: Wake up to the sound of waves lapping against the shore and the sun casting its golden hues over the water. Sit and enjoy coffee on the deck, wander to the edge of the dock, congregate around the firepit at night, and embrace the ever-changing vistas as the lake's colors shift with the seasons. House comes with two kayaks and a SUP, as well, for use when the lake's temperatures allow! Pets: Preference is no pets, although owners will consider one small pet on a case-by-case basis. Non-refundable pet fee and additional monthly pet rent of $25 will apply. Parking Note: A winding driveway and 65 steps down a cliff separate you from this lakeside haven. There is space for 4 cars, comfortably, in the private parking area. In snowy conditions, parking on the main road and walking down the driveway is advised. Last winter there was next to no snow, but no guarantees, of course! Contact Maureen for info about rental requirements and to schedule a visit. (Do not stop by without an appointment, the house is currently rented.) Dive into the serenity, adventure, and charm that only lakefront living in Ithaca can provide! Contact Maureen to schedule a showing. Tenants to pay for utilities (including gas and electric) and internet. Home is furnished, there are lots of blankets, towels, pillows, etc, and the kitchen is fully stocked. Grill and table/chairs for outdoor fun are included in rent. Two kayaks and one SUP are also available. Available early September 2024 through May 2025. Negotiable on exact dates. We prefer no pets, we have family members with allergies and we use the house part of the year, but are open to discussing one pet on a case-by-case basis. Tenant is to maintain yard, steps, driveway, etc. Exterior hose bibs to be turned/left off in winter. House is on septic, proper usage required. Lake homes in this area pull water from the lake. There is a chlorination system, but we recommend using bottled water for drinking. A Primo bottled water system is in the house - tenant can get large bottles of water at Lowe's. No smoking, no large parties (we live in a community and want to maintain good relations with neighbors). There is private parking and the lot was recently re-paved. Tenants should not use neighbor's yards or docks...our yard is a slice of heaven - there is really no need to go into the other yards, just want to make sure we mention it! This house has beach access into the lake and a private dock as well! Security deposit = one month's rent. Household income 3x rent and minimum credit score 650 (no cosigners). Background and credit check link will be sent separately. This is not undergraduate housing.
