Summary: This is a perfect place for a reunion! We realized the house was a “party house” when we saw the 2 fridges in the boathouse room and the sound/surround with speakers everywhere. But the best thing about this house was the feeling of family. The family left nice old family things which added to the feeling of the place.All ages from a 2 year old to a 75 year old enjoyed the home. we could park 5 cars for the graduation party. Very nice. We had evening campfires. Thank you for the nice wood. Also all the great water equipment which we enjoyed every day. It is a wonderful lake bunk house.

Summary: We rented the place for a mini reunion for 12 Cornell grads from the 90’sThe place is well equipped with plenty of bedrooms, a large deck and living space to accommodate everyone in the group. We enjoyed using the provided kayaks and the fire pit at night. The outdoor flat top grill was great for cooking meals for the group. Location 15 min away from Ithaca Commons and Cornell was ideal. I wouldn’t hesitate to rent the place again and is ideal for both adults and families.

John B. Jun 26, 2024 07:54:40 AM
Summary: The location was beautiful right on the water. Plenty of rooms for people to sleep. The firewood was great to have there ready to go as we did a bonfire every night. Would highly recommend!

Summary: Our group of college roommates had great fun staying in Ithaca once again for reunion at this terrific lakeside spot.
Nelson M. Jun 28, 2023 06:14:19 AM
Summary: We enjoyed the lake house! Bit of a quirky layout but we are most of our meals on the deck which was wonderful.
Michael M. Jun 2, 2023 01:20:05 AM
Summary: Everything was perfect from checking in, communication with Hannah, ample amount of space to hang out and sleep, along with the amazing backyard on Lake Cayuga. I came here for my graduation from Cornell and wanted a lakehouse big enough for my family (~10), and Hannah's house afforded us the perfect weekend. We grilled, had smores from the fire pit, kayaked, and even docked our pontoon rental on the dock. Looking forward to returning here on my next visit to Ithaca!

Summary: We enjoyed the kayaks, the paddleboat, the fire pit, the grill, and the beautiful reflections of both dawn and sunset on the peaceful lake. The house accommodated our six adults and three children. Very homey and well equipped with supplies for needs and fun. Limited bathrooms, but they worked out.
Scott R. May 31, 2022 06:39:42 PM
