Great property and host
The property was as described and Marla was a great host. She provided a thorough list of area restaurants, wineries, and places to see, includingdirections. She was available and responded timely to my messages. I definitely recommend this property for a relaxing time at the lake!

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!

Fabulous Place
Having never been to the Finger Lakes before, choosing this spot was something of a shot in the dark. It turns out, however, that it's perfectly located - only 1/2 hour away from Watkins Glen, Ithica, Seneca Falls, etc., as well as being right on the Cayuga Wine Trail and close to restaurants and ice cream! The cottage itself is perfect for two people, and absolutely everything was provided, down to food storage bags and hair dryers! We didn't take advantage of the kayak, canoe, etc. because we were there in the fall, but what a bonus to have them available. Also, there was a grill, which we did use to good advantage. Marla is a great host - she was totally available (she lives next door) and very personable, but not intrusive. She even gathered the troops on the last day to help us get our dead car battery charged! Great experience all the way around!

Perfect place for a weekend anniversary getaway!
Longview Cottage was the perfect place for a weekend annoversary getaway! Cute small place located just down a long driveway from the lake. Each morning was perfect sitting dockside with a cup of coffee! Location was a short drive to hiking at Taughannock Falls and Watkins Glen. And many wineries close by!! Perfect place!

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.

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.

Super clean and lovely view!
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. Definitely would recommend this cottage!

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!

Nice retreat on a very quiet road!
We stayed for 3 nights with our family of four. The kids loved to play ball in the large front and backyards. The cottage is a bit back from the road, which makes it very quiet - but produces a slightly longer walk to the road, then cross the narrow street, then you go down the stairs to the lake. The kids jumped off the dock and loved to swim at the property. We used the supplied kayak, canoe, and SUPs. There is also a paddleboat on site. My husband and kids caught lots and lots of perch in the canoe and from the dock. We went to Cayuga Lake State Park for swimming (could swim on the property as well) and Taughannock State Park to hike to the waterfall. This cottage is in a great location near the middle of Cayuga Lake. We loved having a coffee pot and toaster for breakfast. There is lots included in the small kitchen if you would like to make meals there (we chose to eat at some nice breweries with my family). All in all, a great stay and nice time away!

Lovely guest house but I the lake access is across the lawn and across the street,.
Charming two bedroom home, the master bedroom has closet and hooks for clothes, the twin bed room has hooks on wall for clothes, outside parking is convenient. Neighborhood is quiet and the newly paved roads were great to ride on. The town is 15 minutes away by car. It is quaint and very friendly people live there.
