Magical
We had an amazing stay at Sunset Oasis! We were able to check in early on Thanksgiving, and on that day, my boyfriend proposed! We took a long walk and were in hot tub and had champagne with the Christmas lights on! We had our kids there for a day, and made a special dinner. At night, the water and waves lapped up and we never slept so good. It was a magical stay I will never forget!

Serene Weekend Getaway
Quiet and serene weekend getaway. Plenty of wineries and hiking in the area. Definitely recommend checking out the Taughannock Falls State Park, northwest of Ithaca and then coming back to relax at the hot tub, listening to the sound of waves on the lake.

Amazing views
Loved this oasis on the lake. The views are awesome and the place is nicely decorated. The hot tub was great as it was chilly while we were there. Any questions were promptly answered by the owners and host. We visited a few wineries around the lake. Would like to come back in warmer weather and enjoy the beautiful deck!

My friends and I stayed for a long weekend for our annual girls trip. This by far has been the coziest stay right on the lake! The house was stocked with everything you need to feel at home. The views and location right on the lake is incredible. There is a winery and brewery right up the road too.

Absolutely Wonderful Stay
We were impressed with how many decks there were. Our favorite was the top deck off the living room. We sat out there a lot. Love that there is a fire pit down by the water. Wish it wasn't so hot out or we would have used it. The dock was really nice. We rented a boat for the day and it was nice to stop off to refresh and get some snacks. Beautiful views of the sunsets. You won't be disappointed in the amount of space there is. The only negative thing we had was the king sized be was hard. Luckily we trave with camping foam bedrolls. So if you don't like a hard bed, you might want to do the same. The place could use a little TLC but with the summer turnover, we understand that this probably doesn't happen until the end of the busy season. We definitely would love to come back. The host were fantastic! Such nice and attentive people. If we had a question, they were right there with help and answers. Check-in and out are easy and fast. No waiting around and no issues.

Gorgeous property right in the lake
The cottage was fully equipped with all imaginable amenities and more. The hosts, known for their exceptional kindness and hospitality, had truly thought of everything. Situated by the lake, the property offered 2 kayaks, a fantastic grill, a fully stocked kitchen, and an abundance of towels. The beds were cozy, with plenty of linens and blankets available. And to top it off, the cottage was also pet-friendly! Our two dogs thoroughly enjoyed lounging in the sun and relaxing on the screened porch. I could go on and on, did I mention the paddle boat and the hot tub? Great stay overall and highly recommend!

Sunset Oasis did not disappoint!
This cottage on Cayuga Lake was absolutely amazing! To begin, the house is stocked with whatever you need in the kitchen and elsewhere! Don’t worry that you won’t have the right pan or dish…..it’s there. Towels galore, including beach towels were also plentiful! The house is well decorated and very clean. The beds were comfortable. The kayaks provided were terrific quality and life vests of every size were provided as well. The campfire pit was terrific with wood provided. Lastly, the view from the deck can’t be beat! Sunsets were gorgeous! We will be back! Wonderful weekend getaway for us! Thank you!

We wanted to spend a few days lakeside to unwind after a busy winter and this great location didn't disappoint! Our family of 4 and 2 dogs enjoyed this house right on the lake watching the ducks, loons and eagles enjoy the lake. The sunsets are absolutely stunning! There are a few quaint towns nearby, a State Park, National Wildlife bird sanctuary and of course, a brewery and winery right down the road. It was perfect for us to rejuvenate! The hosts made this trip extremely easy for us and we will definitely keep it in mind for future trips!

We stayed here for the week with our two teenagers. The house is right on the lake and we enjoyed kayaking and fishing. There is a hot tub for cooler nights, and a fully screened in porch to avoid the bugs. It was also close enough to Ithaca, that we took many trips to the local state parks. It was a great week on the lake!
