We had a great time at this house! Itâs hard to find a big house with king beds and this had 4 so thatâs why we picked it originally. The kitchen and living areas were spacious, clean and comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped. The outdoor patio was also very nice but did need a little hosing down when we got there, which was easy to do. We loved the dock and fire pit as well. We rented a nice pontoon boat which was easily docked. The owner was very responsive any time we had a question. I would definitely go back here again.
We had a wonderful stay, house was clean, well stocked, comfortable and spacious. We would definitely stay again. Thank you for sharing your house with us.
We were able to enjoy all of the water sports that our family wanted, and fishing too. Great quite family spot with quiet evenings sharing around a fire. Close enough to Ithica to take advantage of rainy weather days.
Our family of 9 (7 adults and a 10 and 6 year old) had a wonderful 4 night stay at Holton Beach Retreat. The property is all about lake and sky. We took a rented boat fishing, to wineries, parks, and had a blast tubing in the 650 water. We hiked gorges, ate meals on the patio and at the huge dining room table, played our lawn games, kayaked, jumped off the dock and swim platform, and skipped an endless supply of stones. The kids especially loved the freedom of the water.Nearly every room faces the water. Four bedrooms and two baths up plus a bedroom and bathroom on the first floor were ideal. The beds were comfortable, the house was clean, and well stocked, especially the kitchen. Jugs of drinking water, a working grill, and kayaks/canoe with paddles were appreciated. We didnât find the life jackets in the master BR closet until we packed to leave, but the kids had brought their own. The TV and Internet worked fine.Hollyâs communication was great and driving directions were precise. The 70 steps up to our parking area were not a problem but we were grateful to be able to load/unload our cars at lake level next door.A few suggestions to consider bringing: kids life jackets that fit, a small grill scraper (we didnât use the metal brush), water shoes to protect from sharp zebra mussels, and eye shades if you donât rise and shine very early.Thank you Holly for sharing your fun house in such a beautiful area.
10 of us were in town for a wedding and stayed here. Everybody loved the place, location was great. It was conveniently located near several wineries, breweries, and hiking spots.
We absolutely loved the property! We enjoyed the nearby attractions and then coming to a nice, comfortable home. We especially enjoyed waking up early and watching the sunrise... would definitely stay here again.
We had a wonderful time staying with family in this lake house. We spent our time on the dock, floating in the lake and kayaking. Even with all of this, we still had time to hit the wine trails, discover great places to eat and enjoy great music at the Cider House. The owners were very pleasant and eager to answer all of our questions.
The house was great with lots of room for large groups, clean, and well stocked with the essentials.
The house is right on the lakefront with a great view of the morning sunrise.
Beautiful place to spend our 60th celebration! Everything that we needed and would love to try it again when we can get in the water! Had a bit of a hard time finding the house but was part of our adventure!
We had a wedding nearby and this lake house accommodated 9 of our family so we could be nearby for all of the events. We thoroughly enjoyed the lake with swimming and kayaking and the views were beautiful. The house had plenty of room and a large stocked kitchen. Holly was quick to reply to messages and accommodating. Thank you!
Our stay was incredible. The house was very clean and welcoming, and definitely more beautiful than the pictures showed. The host was very accessible and responsive to questions. I will definitely be staying here again.
This lake house suits our family perfectly. We like the great kitchen which is fully supplied, the 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, the big dock for fishing and tie up for our 2 jet skis and the nice campfire area. We appreciate the owners allowing us to unload our cars by using their driveway to get closer to the rental house. We found that this is the best house to rent on Cayuga Lake!
This was a perfect house for our weekend getaway. Everything was clean and tidy, all the amenities functioned perfectly, and even the weather cooperated. The fire pit by the lake was especially appreciated.
The house and property were a great fit for our family with our range in ages. location to grocery store was really good. water was plenty deep for boats and yet had a beach for little ones to walk out.
The house was the perfect place for our family to stay for the wedding weekend of a family member. Spacious, well appointed, comfortable and lovely view and access to the lake.
Wonderful!
Beautiful updates to the property. Holly and her team do a wonderful job of making her guests feel welcomed and is so accommodating. Had a wonderful time again.
Enjoyed it very much, we would have preferred less stairs but that did not reduce the great stay that we had. We swam and rented a pontoon boat and spent most of the week on the water or the deck of the property. Owners were very pleasant to work with and took great pride in the property.
This is our family cottage. My sister and I manage this property for the family. We have been renting it for the last two years when the family is not using it. My husband and I have a cottage next door.
We have been on Holton Beach for the last 50 years. We love the lake because we sail, kayak and canoe. The lake is generally quiet (not alot of motor boat traffic)
Ithaca and the parks are 15-20 minutes from our cottage. There are many wineries, distilleries and cider mills in the areas. At the top of our road is the Cayuga Creamery which makes the best homemade ice cream in New York State.
