Vacation Rentals FAQ
Questions, answered
How do I book a vacation rental?
Each of our houseboats, cabins, campers, and the Lake House is listed on Airbnb. Click "Book rental" on any stay to check availability and reserve directly. Questions first? Call us at (607) 533-4422.
Where are the rentals located?
All of our stays are right at Kelley Marine Center on the east shore of Cayuga Lake, minutes from Ithaca and Aurora and close to Finger Lakes wineries and breweries.
What's the difference between the houseboats and cabins?
Houseboats float right at the dock so you sleep on the water, while cabins and campers sit on land by Myers Park. Both put you steps from the lake — it comes down to whether you want to wake up on the water or just beside it.
Can I rent a pontoon during my stay?
Yes! Add a Veranda Luxury Pontoon rental to explore Cayuga Lake by water — reach Taughannock Falls, the Boatyard Grill, wineries, and more. Just ask when you book.
What's provided in each rental?
Each stay comes furnished with a kitchen or kitchenette, TV, and free Wi-Fi. Bedding and the essentials are provided — check each listing for the full details of what's included.
