Wonderful Stay

Cute cottage. Loved the dock and location. Perfect place to relax in between hiking and exploring. Would stay again. The water stayed very calm in this little cove where the dock and beach was. There are a lot of steps to get down there which could be a barrier to anyone with mobility issues.

Great get away with incredible views!

What a sweet cottage! Host is a class act! Great communication, genuinely concerned about our stay, and well being and gives so much care and attention! Lovely cottage, with drive up access. Beach is down the lane, with a great dock. My daughter and I sat in the Adirondack chairs and she painted watercolors of the sunsets and water. The swimming is just magical. We stayed in August and the water was warm and clear! Cottage is sweet. Great for good rest and family games in the evening! Cottage is clean and has everything you need for a restful getaway! You don't even need to pack sheets and towels. They are provided! I hope we get to visit again soon! Thanks so much!

August get away

We stayed for 5 nights at the Longview rental. Marla the owner is wonderful and very good with communication. The cottage is cozy, and we made dinner in the kitchen / grill on porch every night. Dock was great to hang out on and enjoy the sun and water. Beautiful scenic view. Would recommend to anyone. Thanks for the great get away. Right in the middle of Cayuga wine country.

Lovely Lake Vacation

We love coming back to this location for several reasons. The host, Marla, is absolutely wonderful! She is so kind, welcoming and accommodating. We love how quiet the location is along with all the wildlife. Whether having coffee on the deck in front of the house or by the lake, it is an enjoyable way to start the day. Also, we made sure we checked out the colors of the sunrise and sunset. I was able to take some incredible pictures. The lakefront is nice with a dock and plenty of Adirondack chairs. There is a paddle boat, canoe, and other amenities to enjoy. It is close to several wineries and many other conveniences. We always enjoy going to Taughannock Falls nearby. It is the tallest falls east of the Rockies. You can view it from the above overlook or you can walk to it from the park (very easy - flat). We couldn’t help but to be amazed by the incredible views the area has to offer.

Loved Longview Cottage

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Longview Cottage! It was a peaceful respite, with beautiful private beach views. The cottage is cozy and was perfect for my husband and me. It is close to some amazing state parks and the nearby roads are great for biking and walking. The local wineries are also terrific. And the owner, Marla, is very personable and responsive to all questions. She also welcomes you with a complimentary bottle of local wine. I highly recommend this rental!

Family Getaway

Cayuga Lake is one of our favorite vacation destinations. We like spending our days outdoors and this area has a wide array of activities for everyone in the family to enjoy. After a busy day of hiking and wine tasting, it was relaxing to return to the cabin. It had everything we needed and was a comfortable space to relax with the kids. The lake view is lovely and we ventured to the beach and took out the pedal boat even with the chiller fall temps. We can only imagine how amazing it is in the warmer months. We were close to all of our favorite stops. A wonderful stay all around.

We loved our stay at Longview Cottage! The house was super clean and has everything needed for a lake front vacation. Our teen girls especially enjoyed the SUPs and the kayak also got put to good use. The lakeside firepit was a nice way to end the day. The neighborhood is quiet and everyone is friendly.

Quiet area with a lot of charm

We stay here every chance we can. The owner is awesome. The cabin is cute, and the lake view is spectacular. We saw a lot of wildlife such as an Eagle, rabbits, and a variety of fish. Like to fish? This area never disappoints. It is a great place to relax. The local restaurants serve quality food - and let’s forget the wine!
