About this property

Renovated Lake Cottage: Wineries, Wildlife and Relaxation - Eagles Nest

The renovated cottage is at the top of Cayuga Lake, nestled in the southern tip of Montezuma Wildlife Preserve.
- Stunning Sun Sets
- Right on the Water
- Private dock for fishing and tying up your boat
- Minutes from Wineries
- Teaming with wildlife

This home sits on over 75 feet of lake-frontage with a large deck overlooking the crystal clear water of Cayuga Lake. The cottage has a completely open floor plan with stunning lake views from anywhere in the house. In addition, the home sits on a double lot with a large grass area perfect for volleyball, badminton, or just a place to relax.

Eagles Nest is over 1500 square feet, with an open design that takes advantage of the 180-degree lake views. Knowing the lake is the central focus, this house has a sliding glass door and a wall of windows overlooking the large deck and lake. Eagles Nest is a four-season home designed with comfort in mind with full central air and heat so you can take advantage of this secluded area all year.

Inside, there is space for six people to sleep comfortably. For more than 6, please get in touch with us. Eagles Nest is a classic Cape Cod home with three bedrooms upstairs and one and a half baths down stars, giving our guests lots of privacy. Two bedrooms are furnished with queen beds, and the third has a full-size bed. The bedrooms are connected by a common room upstairs for additional space.

Eagles Nest is well-outfitted for your stay and includes a washer and dryer and a well-equipped kitchen with pots, pans, and utensils to make your stay as relaxing as possible. The home has a 47’ Roku-enabled TV with cable, Wi-Fi, and many board games. Outside, you will enjoy the deck overlooking the lake with plenty of lounge seating, a large gas grill, a 40-foot dock, and a large fire pit on the shore of the lake.

But that is just the beginning. Eagles Nest is adjacent to the Montezuma Wildlife Preserve, so our guests can access some of the region’s most spectacular bird and wildlife viewing from the comfort of the living room. Additionally, the home is just a mile from John Harris Park in Cayuga, a beautifully maintained sand beach with lifeguards and plenty of parking.

And for those who want to venture out, Eagles Nest sits at the top of the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail, giving you access to some of the finest wines the Finger Lakes area offers. This is all on top of some of the area’s great attractions, including the Seneca Falls historic sites, four golf courses within 5 miles, Taughannock Falls, Buttermilk Falls, Waterloo Premium Outlets, and the beautiful town of Ithaca. Let’s add the expansive Finger Lakes Trail just south of Ithaca, the Montezuma Wildlife Preserve Trail, Seneca Meadows, and a ton of other hiking and biking trails.

And if that wasn’t enough, the new Del Lago Casino is less than 7 miles from home. You and your family will have an unforgettable vacation with all the things to do.

There are so many things to do in the area it’s hard to list them all. In addition to what is listed in the description, these two guides will help you plan your visit.

October in the Finger Lakes
Great stay! The rental was clean and comfortable. The real stunner is the furnished deck area and views. There is a large private side yard and new dock which make watching the sunsets all the more enjoyable.

Fall friends getaway
Had a great stay for my girlfriends annual fall getaway. The house was as described, the view was beautiful, the beds were comfortable and great water pressure in the shower. Enough of the essentials to get us through the weekend. I had a quick question before the trip and it was answered quickly.

The house was very comfortable and clean. The view was beautiful, with jumping fish to entertain us as we relaxed on the deck. The location was very convenient to Seneca Falls, Aurora and the Montezuma Wildlife Refuge. I would definitely stay here again.

Great Vacation Spot for Family and Dogs
We absolutely loved our time staying here. We loved the outdoor patio and sitting out there. The dock was wonderful as well for fishing. Our dogs enjoyed the stay as well. The communication from the owner was fast and easy. We had a great time and our dogs didn't want to leave because they loved it so much!

Quiet stay
Enjoyed a quiet stay with beautiful lake views. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. The deck offered beautiful lake views and sunsets. Our only disappointment was that swimming was difficult. Would have liked a ladder off the dock.

Lovely summer week.
The house was great, clean, comfortable, and what a view! Beautiful sunsets. The only thing we'd love even more is easier swimming access. There's a great dock to the water, but too high to get back in if you enter the water there. Climbing on the rocks is doable to get in and out, just not easy. Thanks for a great week! Would stay again.

About the host

Host profile image
We are a family who loves the water and the Finger Lakes region. This is our vacation home, and we like to open it up to other families as we are not always available to spend time in the area.

Why they chose this property

The apparent time to come is when the weather is nice and hot, but our favorite time of year is during the winter, as it's peaceful and quiet. There is nothing like having a cup of coffee in the living room, looking out on the lake, and seeing hundreds of waterfowl congregating in the water. It's a spectacular sight.
