Vacation Rental Description

The “Yellow Cottage” is one level, handicap accessible, with a fenced rear patio and a large, 
covered front deck offering a magnificent north and south view of the lake and its wondrous 
sunsets.  The broad front room has glass on three sides, a pullout couch, and dining area.  The 
master bedroom has a double bed and the back bedroom has a roll-out day bed.

This idyllic cottage is the larger of two cottages nestled between two streams on 175 feet of 
Cayuga’s east shore.  The tall trees, dirt road and old-fashioned structures give the place a sense 
of remoteness, though located within minutes of Cornell, downtown and the Ithaca malls.  The north 
stream sports a 20 foot high waterfall. In the summer, both streams are dry except for during and 
after rainstorms.  The adventuresome can take a cool, short hike eastward into small gorges flanked 
by stands of hemlock and hardwoods which are laced with steep deer trails.

It is located midway between Remington Point (with a small marina and sailing club) and Myer’s Point 
(with a marina and a lovely park)—at a low spot of the east shore cliffs, so that it is only about 
20 steps down to the Lake.  There are train tracks along the shore--the freight train comes by 
rather slowly about twice a day.  The shoreline is strewn with flat pebbles which are ideal 
for “skipping stones.”


Rules

Guests are expected to share the 2 large docks, thus enjoying the full frontage between the 
streams.  Fishing is allowed from the docks, but swimmers have the right of way, so please be 
considerate and don’t leave around any tackle, bait or fish parts.  Shoes are recommended, if wading 
or swimming from the shore.  Outdoor fires are permitted in the fire pit only (or grill).  Do not 
cut wood from the forest or in any way deface the trees or natural surroundings.

Swimming, boating or any activities on or near the property are strictly at your own risk.  When you 
hear the train coming, stay a safe distance away—at the top of the stairs or at the end of the 
dock.  Please be considerate of the neighboring residents, and observe reasonable quiet hours.

No smoking allowed inside.  Smokers (and everyone)—please do not litter!  Please use recycling 
bins.  The running water is not potable, but suitable for washing.  Please bring your own drinking 
water.  The bedding is furnished.  Please bring towels.

The cottages are generally rented from Sunday @ 3p.m. to the following Sunday @ 1p.m.  Other 
arrangements are possible.  This “Yellow Cottage" can be rented with the adjacent, rustic one room 
cabin for larger groups or families.  See second listing #39872.

Vacation Rental Amenities

Fully equiped kitchen, laundry, A/C & heater (rarely needed), grill, wireless internet, DVD player, 
fenced pet patio. Small washer & dryer.  Linens supplied. Bring towels and drinking water advised. 
Guests are asked to leave the cottage clean.

Activities and Attractions

Cayuga is the longest lake (42 miles) and next-to-deepest lake (475 feet) of the Finger Lakes Region 
in Upstate New York.  People say “Ithaca is Gorges” because of the many gorgeous geological 
formations in the area.  State Parks, special swimming spots, fine fishing and cool hiking trails 
abound.  Not to mention the many cultural and educational activities offered.


There is a boat lift available and kayaks and canoes are rentable in the surrounding area.  If you 
have a motorboat, it’s an easy ride to the Myer’s Park & marina.  The Ithaca Yacht Club is across 
the Lake.  It’s a little further to Taughannock Falls State Park (to the North) or to the Ithaca 
Inlet, Allen H. Treman State Park & Marina, and the lovely Stewart Park (to the South).  Ithaca’s 
wonderful Farmer’s Market is also accessible by boat on the Inlet.  All within 5 miles by water!

This is a spot for the whole family to enjoy and create treasured memories.
