Very quiet area, no worries about the road at all, like it’s not there. The house had everything you could need. Spices, coffee, multiple coffee makers. Close to wineries and the lake was awesome.

Beautiful location, comfortable and relaxing cottage/bunkhouse with views of the lake. Really nice dock and covered seating area right on the water, and an outdoor fire pit. It was so perfect and excellent value. What a lovely spot.

We were in the Ithaca area for a graduation. So glad we found your lovely cottage for the weekend. We loved the comfort of the house. The view and the lake. We only wished the weather was nicer. And you are right about the sunsets!

Property info

Welcome to “Sunset Retreat,” a serene lakefront home on the eastern shore of Cayuga Lake in Aurora, NY. This unique property includes a 1 bedroom, 1 bath main house as well as a bonus “bunkhouse” with beds and a full bath. This multifunctional home is 1 of 4 properties that make up Sunset Stays on Cayuga, a group of lakefront rentals owned by a family with a heart for hospitality. Key features of Sunset Retreat include 2 separate living spaces, a covered year-round hot tub, a lakeside grassy area with firepit, and a spacious lower dock area. OUTSIDE: Parking for 3 vehicles Covered year-round hot tub Lakeside grassy area with firepit & provided wood Lakeside patio with grill and dining set Spacious and private lower dock area Vertical boat lift (max 3000lbs) 2 kayaks available for exclusive guest use (Late May – Oct) 3 different inflatable tubes/floating islands are available for rental INSIDE: Large windows line the living space walls providing peaceful lake views Fully stocked kitchen with dishwasher, complimentary spring drinking water and coffee Open concept dining and living space 1 bedroom with a king bed An entryway space with a daybed 1 full bathroom with standing shower & washer/dryer Bunkhouse is located steps away from main house and has 1 queen bed, 1 single bed, and a full bathroom OTHER AMENITIES: Fully temperature controlled Linens and towels provided High-speed internet, WIFI and cellular service, YouTube TV A note regarding location: Sunset Retreat is located approximately 3 miles from the start of a private, single lane road. It takes approx. 15 mins to arrive at Sunset Retreat if you drive the 10mph speed limit (which we greatly encourage you to do 🙂). You are driving lakeside the entire time past beautiful home after beautiful home, so while this could seem like an extra distance or inconvenience, we choose to take it as an opportunity to slow down and “enjoy the views” that beautiful Cayuga Lake and the quiet private road have to offer.
