A Shore Thing: Breathtaking Panoramic Views and Spectacular Design Await You!

This split-level gem has amazing, awe-inspiring views that will be sure to take your breath away, and a spacious interior floor plan designed for your comfort in mind.

Upon entering A Shore Thing, you will be pleasantly surprised by the welcoming feel of the large four season room. This room provides ample space for enjoying the magnificent views as well as entertaining guests. The custom kitchen offers all the conveniences of home! An indoor grill with industrial exhaust will allow you to prepare gourmet meals with ease all year round. The open layout of the kitchen/dining area and living room allows conversation to flow freely, with a partial wall dividing the living room to increase lighting and ambiance.

Across from the kitchen, guests will find two well appointed bedrooms, both equipped with a queen size bed, and closets. Each bedroom has a flat screen television and ceiling fan to ensure your upmost comfort. Just down the hall is a convenient full bathroom with a double vanity, tub and shower.

Step down a few stairs into the very spacious, north-facing master suite. Large, lakeside windows provide occupants a great view of the lake. Comfort was first in mind while remodeling this spacious suite! Features include a beautiful tile-faced, gas fireplace, 2 spacious closets, a flat screen television, and a sitting area for enjoying a quiet afternoon with a good book. The master bath is immaculate and offers a Jacuzzi tub, heated floor, and attractive design to enhance a relaxing vacation experience.

At the other end of the long hallway is the sunken living room, with vaulted ceilings, featuring another stunning tile fireplace, a flat screen television, and sliding glass doors lead to an outdoor deck with panoramic views of the lake. The entire house is outfitted with a surround sound system controlled in the living room, so bring your iPod and enjoy your favorite music!

A short staircase off the living room leads to the fourth bedroom. This room features a queen sized bed and flat screen television.

One of the great features of this lake house is the spacious game room, which offers a pool table, dartboard, large flat screen TV, and a ping pong table. Screened garage doors are available to offer fresh air for those warm summer days, and during winter months the area is comfortably heated to allow guests to continue to enjoy these additional amenities as well.

The outdoor living space is amazing at A Shore Thing! Newly added in late fall of 2017 is a 6 person hot tub settled on stamped concrete with ample LED lighting for ambiance. The level back yard with patio is perfect for outdoor entertainment and yard games. Be sure to bring your bocce set! Across the road is 100 feet of pristine natural lakefront, as well as a lighted, permanent dock.

A Shore Thing is conveniently located on the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail. Need a shopping day? Be sure to check out Waterloo Premium Outlets! A half hour drive south will lead directly into downtown Ithaca, where guests will find quaint restaurants, great shopping, and breathtaking waterfalls (Taughannock Falls and Buttermilk Falls are only a couple of spectacular waterfalls worth visiting)!

Girls weekend
This house was the perfect location for us for a girls weekend getaway! Very clean home with a large kitchen, spacious bedrooms, game room, and right across the street from the lake with a dock. There were plenty of wineries and distilleries within a 5 minute drive. I highly recommend this home!

Better Than Expected
Family at the lake house for Memorial Day weekend 2024. Had a great time. Everything was as described and in great conditions. Hot Tub was a welcomed addition. We enjoyed bringing the boat and enjoying time at the dock area and in the water. Great place to stay.

Bachelorette party
We came for a low-key bachelorette party, just to hang out with friends and have a girls weekend. We were right in the middle of the wine trail and had the most beautiful view of the water. We had a lovely time.

Perfect getaway
My friends and I stayed at A Shore Thing for the weekend to celebrate our friend's upcoming wedding. It was the perfect location for wineries and one of our favorite stops, Muranda Cheese Company. We had everything we could possibly need at the house and the views were incredible. We wish we could have stayed longer to truly enjoy all the amenities. We'll be back in the summer for "shore"!

Roomie
4 of us ladies stayed here for a weekend. Very spacious and many different areas to seperate yourself if you need it. Unfortunately we did not get to take advantage of the game room. We enjoyed the fireplaces in each room. We were doing crafts so we mainly sat in the sunroom the whole time. Great, spacious room. Thinking this might be our new annual place to rent.
