Goose House: spacious lake home with heated pool, game room, private beach on Cayuga lake
Looking to book your next family get-away? Look no further! This spacious home situated beautifully on 200' of Cayuga lakefront will be sure to please with a heated in-ground pool in the summer, a game room to enjoy in the cooler months and expansive views/access to the lake.
Walking in on the main floor, you'll find a large open floor plan. The Dining Room, Kitchen and Living Room are all open to each other with high vaulted ceilings and tiled floors. There is plenty of seating in the Living Room area with 2 separate dining tables. The large dining room table seats 10 and there is an additional smaller table that seats 5.
The kitchen is fully stocked with cookware and dinnerware and has an island with additional seating space.
Off of the kitchen, you'll find a large office room with a gas fireplace, games, sofa, desk and TV. This room has doors that walk out onto the driveway as well as a door that closes this room off from the rest of the house, making it a quiet office space if necessary.
The Main bedroom on the main floor has a King size bed with french doors that open out onto the deck overlooking the lake. There is a large full bath attached to the master bedroom with a walk in shower. The second bedroom on the main floor has another King size bed and the main floor full bathroom is just outside this bedroom door. This bathroom has a tub/shower combo.
Downstairs you'll walk into the family room with several couches, a pool table, several bar tables, a wine bar area, large screen TV with SONOS surround sound and the wine room. This large open family room has 3 sets of doors that open out onto the covered concrete patio overlooking the lake and to the pool area . The wine room has a small sink as well as a mini fridge.
You'll also find two more bedrooms downstairs. Bedroom 3 has 2 sets of Double beds and doors that lead out onto the patio and the pool. Bedroom 4 has a Queen bed and a Twin/Double bunk combo. There is an additional 3rd full bathroom between these two bedrooms with a tub/shower combo. The laundry room is also downstairs with a washer and dryer for you to use.
The lawn is large enough for lawn games and has level access to the water with several hundred feet of private lake front. The dock area is great for fishing, swimming, or just relaxing and enjoying the views. There are 4 kayaks at the house as well--2 doubles and 2 singles.
If you're not fond of swimming in the lake, there is a lovely heated in-ground pool overlooking the lake, for your enjoyment, with a seating area and charcoal oven, pool-side (pool is only available in the summer months from mid-May to the end of September)! There are many beautiful flower gardens surrounding the house, the pool and patio.
The home is aptly named Goose House because of the many Canadian geese you'll see on the lake. During migration periods, there are flocks of geese that may come to the shoreline/edge of the yard. If you do not enjoy watching the geese or find wildlife to be a nuisance, this property may not be the best fit for you, but if you enjoy watching wildlife and birds you will absolutely love watching the lake habitats from the windows of the house, the yard or the lake itself. The expansive view of the lake is phenomenal, fishing is good, and the wildlife is enjoyable to observe.
The house has a large wrap around deck facing the lake and there is plenty of outdoor dining space as well as a large gas grill.
Located just 30 minutes North of Ithaca and 30 minutes from Auburn, this home is easily accessible and close to area attractions, all while still having privacy and easy lake access. Enjoy your morning coffee on the large deck, facing East with stunning views of the lake.
We look forward to hosting you!

This was such a beautiful home in a beautiful setting. Communications were perfect including a very easy to use guide for the house and area. The heated pool was great, nice and warm even though we were there in September. The common spaces in the house are excellent with plenty of room for all of us: large tables, plenty of sofas, and gorgeous views. The kitchen is huge and very well equipped. Check out was easy and very low effort for guests. We could not have asked for a better place to stay.

Pros: open, spacious house that accommodated our large group well, especially for dining and socializing; quiet area, close to quaint small towns.Cons: cleanliness was not up to par and the lower level was musty; a dehumidifier was needed.Follow up with management indicated they did have a working dehumidifier (we didn't not find one working) and they would address these issues with the cleaning and maintenance crew. Weather did not permit use of the pool or lake.

Great stay at the lake
Goose House exceeded all expectations. The view of the lake is amazing, with a big yard and nice spots to swim in the lake, and plenty of room in the pool. Everything felt bigger than it looked in the photos. There were many spots to hang out inside and out, and all the bedrooms were nice. Plenty of vineyards nearby.

The good, the bad and the ugly
This vacation home had some good things. The pool was beautiful, clean and warm. We loved the pool. The house was in a farming location and it was nice to hear and see the sheep that live across the street, the kids readily enjoyed that. The things we didn’t enjoy so much was this house needed a heavy duty cleaning. We entered the house to several flys and swatted about 40 of them during the week. The refrigerator needed a good cleaning, the ceilings had cobwebs all over and the air conditioning vent area was filthy. The AC sounded like a jet engine turning on so woke us up every time it kicked on during the night. Some furniture was warn, ripped and needed replacing. This home didn’t appear to be well kept. The grass was cut but landscaping was overgrown. We had to clean and reassemble the grill to use it since someone before us took it apart. The outside of the house needed to be pressure washed badly. We didn’t complain to Linger Hospitality until we checked out, but they never responded. This was a very expensive weekly rent and I was so badly wanting to love this home, but it was a disappointment.

The house has wonderful views out to the lake. The outdoor spaces were perfect for my family to enjoy meals, time at the pool, kayaking and just hanging out. Lots of good interior space as well - the kids loved the pool table! And the bedroom set up was great for multiple families. Location is perfect for area hikes, a day trip to Ithaca, and several fantastic wineries and breweries. And don’t miss State Bakery & BBQ right up the road! Thank you for a memory-filled vacation!

A retreat in the Finger Lakes
The house and stay was amazing. The property is very large and well kept. The views from the main floor and deck are wonderful. The outdoor grill and smoker were fun to use and was used extensively during our stay. The pool is excellent to retreat to after a day of golfing and hiking. The lake was still extremely cold when we were there so our only swimming was in the pool but the dock was great for fishing and launching kayaks from. All in all its a great stay, no complaints.

Another fantastic wine weekend!
Our group of 14 loved the property. It was clean, spacious and convenient to wineries. The kitchen and the bar/pool table area were great areas for groups to hang out, and the fire pit was a nice way to end the night. It was too cool to use the lake or pool, but we would definitely book again to try out those amenities. Booking and communication was easy, and we had a great visit. Thanks again!

Perfect location, communicative hosts
The property was in a wonderful location! We didn't leave the property the entire weekend. Despite the cold weather (10-20 degrees), the house was warm and the windows provided an amazing view of the lake. Stocked with plenty of board games, multiple TVs and a pool table, we kept ourselves occupied the entire weekend. We definitely recommend ordering groceries ahead of time if you're planning to not tour wineries and head into town during your stay.

Rural stay for the finger lakes
Had our bachelorette weekend here and it was great. About 15-25 minute drive to popular wineries. The Sound system went throughout the whole house and heated pool was great! The bedroom with the bunk beds has full mattresses on the bottom but are a little thin for an adult. Joleen the hostess was very responsive and answered any of our questions. Would definitely stay again
