This home sits on over 75 feet of lake-frontage with a large deck overlooking the crystal clear water of Cayuga Lake. The cottage has a completely open floor plan with stunning lake views from anywhere in the house. In addition, the home sits on a double lot with a large grass area perfect for volleyball, badminton, or just a place to relax.
Eagles Nest is over 1500 square feet, with an open design that takes advantage of the 180-degree lake views. Knowing the lake is the central focus, this house has a sliding glass door and a wall of windows overlooking the large deck and lake. Eagles Nest is a four-season home designed with comfort in mind with full central air and heat so you can take advantage of this secluded area all year.
Inside, there is space for six people to sleep comfortably. For more than 6, please get in touch with us. Eagles Nest is a classic Cape Cod home with three bedrooms upstairs and one and a half baths down stars, giving our guests lots of privacy. Two bedrooms are furnished with queen beds, and the third has a full-size bed. The bedrooms are connected by a common room upstairs for additional space.
Eagles Nest is well-outfitted for your stay and includes a washer and dryer and a well-equipped kitchen with pots, pans, and utensils to make your stay as relaxing as possible. The home has a 47’ Roku-enabled TV with cable, Wi-Fi, and many board games. Outside, you will enjoy the deck overlooking the lake with plenty of lounge seating, a large gas grill, a 40-foot dock, and a large fire pit on the shore of the lake.
But that is just the beginning. Eagles Nest is adjacent to the Montezuma Wildlife Preserve, so our guests can access some of the region’s most spectacular bird and wildlife viewing from the comfort of the living room. Additionally, the home is just a mile from John Harris Park in Cayuga, a beautifully maintained sand beach with lifeguards and plenty of parking.
And for those who want to venture out, Eagles Nest sits at the top of the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail, giving you access to some of the finest wines the Finger Lakes area offers. This is all on top of some of the area’s great attractions, including the Seneca Falls historic sites, four golf courses within 5 miles, Taughannock Falls, Buttermilk Falls, Waterloo Premium Outlets, and the beautiful town of Ithaca. Let’s add the expansive Finger Lakes Trail just south of Ithaca, the Montezuma Wildlife Preserve Trail, Seneca Meadows, and a ton of other hiking and biking trails.
And if that wasn’t enough, the new Del Lago Casino is less than 7 miles from home. You and your family will have an unforgettable vacation with all the things to do.
There are so many things to do in the area it’s hard to list them all. In addition to what is listed in the description, these two guides will help you plan your visit.

Summary: What a week! We had been looking forward to this trip for quite some time. The house was nice for sure. Nothing like being able to go on a deck and take in the amazing view of the lake! A dock to fish off of and tie your boats to is a plus. If I ever had a question or a problem I would contact the host and would hear back pretty promptly. Super nice to deal with. This is definitely a place we would come back to, to make more great memories! Great week!!
