About this property

Lakewood Lodge with Cayuga Lake Vistas



If peace and tranquility are requirements for your vacation, the Lakewood Lodge delivers both. The lodge is a premier quality post and beam built Cedar Lindel home. It is nestled in a mature hardwood forest on the Cayuga Wine Trail.

The home has 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms and is located on the west side of Cayuga Lake, minutes from Seneca Falls (13 miles) and Ithaca (25 miles). It is close to the wineries on both Cayuga and Seneca Lake. Built in 1993, it has all the modern conveniences necessary for an enjoyable stay.

The lodge is based on a very spacious open floor plan with soaring cathedral ceilings, ample natural lighting and completely furnished. Sleeping accommodations include 3 bedrooms with queen beds, a loft with two single beds and 2 sleeper sofas which can be used if additional sleeping accommodations are needed. There are two full bathrooms and 2 fully equipped kitchens (1 includes a dishwasher). For eating accommodations there is a large dining table for 10, a smaller dining table for 6 and another table for 4. Two spacious living rooms come equipped with comfy couches along with 55 and 42 inch smart tv's.

A lake side deck has a comfortable wrought iron table and chairs with a barbeque grill. Additionally, there is a screened in covered porch with a love seat for those romantic moments.

A swing set and basketball hoop will provide hours of enjoyment if youngsters are in your party.

A short and enjoyable walk away is the Whitlock / VanRiper Nature Preserve managed by the Finger Lakes Land Trust. This preserve is comprised of 81 acres, well maintained hiking trails and a true rarity of 1,900 feet of undeveloped shoreline.

Cell phone reception is excellent. Wireless internet is available. There are 55" and 42" smart televisions with access to the internet as well as a DVD player with a small movie library available. A variety of board games are available.

Smoking is prohibited inside and around the house. Conservative use of the septic system, water supply and electricity is appreciated. Although the house is not child-proof, children are welcome. No pets allowed.

Occupancy is limited to 12 maximum on the property.

Great stay with a view
This place was lovely and comfortable. We had a fantastic stay. We especially appreciated everything being stocked and the view. The only thing we were taken back by was that during checkout I realized we were expected to clean and leave the place exactly as we found it in terms of cleanliness even though we're paying a cleaning fee.

Fantastic house close to lake and wineries
We had an amazing stay at this house. It is exactly as the pictures depict - spacious, beautiful view of lake and close to the trails to beach, wonderful wineries, breweries. The nine of us (all adults including 3 elderly grandparents) had plenty of space and the house was well equipped with everything we needed. Melissa was a fantastic host. She was very responsive to all questions and flexible about last minute requests. We would absolutely visit again.

Loved our stay at Lakewood in Romulus, NY. Great space - roomy, comfortable and well appointed (great kitchen with everything you would need!) Lake view from the deck in the rear and serene, quiet surroundings. Great location for wine tasting on the Cayuga Wine Trail. Also convenient for Seneca Falls, Tugahannock Falls, Ithaca, etc. Will stay again next time!

A perfect house for 4 of us. Nice view of the lake, the enclosed porch was great for raining days. The host is very responsive and helpful. The basement has a nice kitchenette and two bedroom and a sitting area, perfect for our friend and her son. The house has a very week stocked kitchen.

Finger Lakes Wedding
The property and house was as avertised. And if fit our needs totally. The home was well appointed and offered many simple comforts that are often overlooked like paper towels, toilet paper, and coffee filters. They owners did a great job making this an easy rental, We tried to leave the property in impeccable shape with all floors and surfaces cleaned to a shine. The only recommmendation we have is the 2 skillets provided in the kitchen are far beyond useful shape. They are warped, and have teflon coating removed. Please replace these items as it would benefit the owner and renters.

Family of 9 getaway
The house was in a great location. It was listed as a 4 bedroom, but it actually was a 3 bedroom with a loft. A clean, large common area. A cleaning fee was in the rental price, but the owner left a list of things to clean before we checked out. We always leave a house clean. I did not follow the list.

Fantastic home!! Definitely check this one out people!!
A group of 10 people had plenty of room at this gorgeous house. Absolute no complaints except that we had to leave! The loft is adorable and there’s room for a blow up mattress. The main floor has one bedroom with a door to the back deck. The lower level has two bedrooms. Plus a big futon with the extra kitchen and bath. Downstairs also had access to the back yard. There’s also a full size couch on the main floor and a love seat that is a pull out bed. Parking was not an issue for 4 cars. There’s a cute little screened in area to sit and watch the birds and chipmunks. Thistle feeder outside kitchen window for the orioles to visit. A big hit! Owners are wonderful and very helpful. Was so happy to meet you Melissa!!! 😘 House is about 30 minute from Watkins Glen. Same from Ithaca. Right on the wine trail. No neighbors on top of you. House had every item you could possibly need!! Very clean and just adorable. I think we left the place as we found it. Thank you! Hoping to come back next year. New York charges you $8 a car to enter state parks. But you can go to other state parks on the same day and pay only once. Lucifer Falls at Treman state park is a must! My 81 year old mom did this! Lots of steps but she survived! Go to the waterfall overlook down the road too!! The ice cream stand on route 89 is expensive!! This location is sooo nice for those that don’t want to be in a town. Yes, you can see the lake from the house. You can hear the woodpeckers too! Ha ha ha. Love.

Great location! Beautiful house, very clean, great communication. The only drawback is before you depart you are required to clean the whole bathrooms and sweep and vacuum the house. I would recommend staying here.

Summer Getaway
We had wonderful time staying at this beautiful location overlooking gorgeous Cayuga Lake. It had a stunning view of the lake, very close to several wineries/breweries and 40 minutes to Frontenac Harbor Marine where we rented a pontoon boat for the day, which was super fun for our adult children and in-laws! Though the property didn’t have lakefront access, it had a nice yard for corn hole and a big deck to enjoy. Plenty of space for 10 adults. Melissa was very helpful in instructing us how to reset the water pump several times and was always responsive. I would definitely recommend this home!

We plan to stay here again; great family getaway!
Lakewood lodge was beautiful, clean, well-stocked, and so much fun! We spent a week as a family of four and then had three adult friends join us for a second week, and there was something for everyone: watching movies with airpopper popcorn, cooking on the outdoor grill, wine- and cider-tasting, eating at the porch's umbrella table, watching a storm on the screen porch, stargazing at night, swimming in the lake (we drove to a close spot for swimming), making ice cream passports to try many of the local creameries, enjoying a huge collection of games, hiking gorge trails, browsing farmer's markets... The location is perfect, the "neighborhood" was quiet, and the hosts were responsive and wonderful. We'll stay here again, for sure!
