Wisteria Falls in Cayuga Lake

Wisteria Falls is a rustic, old style west side Cayuga Lake cottage on 100 feet of lakefront. It is very private with a three story deck that wraps around the main living area offering a great place to sit and enjoy the views.

This cottage sits on the west side of Cayuga Lake at its widest point providing clear water and serene surroundings with a gradually sloping water level great for swimming.

Located near Sheldrake Point in the heart of the wine country, there are many wineries within a short drive: Hosmer's, Sheldrake Point, Thirsty Owl, Cayuga Ridge, Buttonwood, Lakeshore, Goose Watch, Americana and a newly opened distillery "Myers Farm," as well as several fine restaurants.  

It is also situated close to several state parks including Taughannock Falls, Cayuga Lake, Watkins Glen, Buttermilk Falls, and Treman and a short drive to Ithaca, Watkins Glen, and Seneca Falls.

A wonderful place to get away to relax, but still within easy access to many fun and family friendly activities.
