Other details
Situated along a picturesque highway that stretches alongside Cayuga Lake, this house offers a magnificent lake view and a range of amenities, which we hope compensates for any traffic noise. Moreover, it's a small trade-off considering the convenient proximity to the marina, village, and numerous attractions accessible via Route 90. Given our close proximity to the lake, it's common to encounter gnats and other bugs, especially during the summer months. Although we make diligent efforts to control these pests (including professional pest control), it can be challenging due to the local climate. We have implemented bug-repellent plants and other measures to minimize their presence, but we recommend guests bring bug spray as a precautionary measure. This residence is safeguarded by an alarm system with sensors on all ground-level windows and doors. For added security, three outdoor cameras are in place—one at the front door, another overlooking the driveway and garage, and the third monitoring the driveway accessible from the back deck, audio is recorded. During the off-season (Nov-May), the AC units are not available as they are removed. However, fans are provided in all bedrooms and the living room for year-round comfort. SoLetsGoFLX

Neighborhood overview
Union Springs is a historic neighborhood. It’s quiet with convenient access to public beach, boat rental, and some restaurant/ food choices. Right in town is a restaurant, dollar general and grocery store. The house is also located near several wineries including Montezuma. Walmart and a larger town with several options to eat and shop, Seneca Falls to the left and Auburn to the right. Walmart is about 15 min away as well as several options for super markets.
Transit
While we suggest having a car, it's also possible to walk to the lake, take a leisurely stroll to rent a boat, and dine at the local restaurant. The village grocery store is a bit farther, but it's an easy walk with sidewalks for safety and architecturally captivating historic buildings to admire. Next to the grocery store, you'll find a delightful pizza place with incredibly friendly staff

Cayuga Breeze is our favorite Airbnb….ever! Our family and including pups all felt at home while we visited extended family that live in the area. Cayuga breeze was the perfect landing spot for us. We felt comfortable, peaceful, and thoroughly enjoyed our weekend away! The house is very cool too. We loved the upstairs sitting room area with a very cool porch off of it to have our coffee while the kids played video games ha ha ha. The house has so much character and the design and decor are very relaxing. We found ourselves inspired by Lauren‘s taste! Will definitely be back to Cayuga breeze. The kids were sad to leave

Lauren was a wonderful host and made our stay very comfortable. The home offers 2 bathrooms which is hard to find in the area. Kitchen was very well stocked and we ate in a lot because it was so easy with the layout and amenities offered. The home is close to shopping, restaurants, casinos, and sightseeing. Beds were super comfortable and we slept peacefully. Home is very pet friendly and the fully, enclosed, fenced yard is a huge plus. We would not hesitate to come back and would highly recommend Cayuga Breeze to others. Thanks for sharing your home and making my birthday getaway extremely special.

What a jewel of a place! Lauren's space matched the photos and descriptions exactly. The outside of the house is unassuming, but the inside is a hidden gem. What I first noticed upon entering was how meticulously clean and new everything looked. The decor was tasteful, and we could tell that there was incredible attention to detail throughout. The space was so welcoming, as well. Lauren thought of everything! It was all the little touches that really won me over. Between the welcome sign, the snacks and goodies left for the kiddos, a bottle of wine welcoming the adults, and even treats/toys/blankets/beds/etc. for our dog. In addition, one of the most helpful things as a guest were all the labels on everything. We knew what every switch did, what every knob and button controlled, and what items were in every drawer. It was SO helpful to not have to waste time figuring things out...we could just relax and be 'away.' Lauren was so helpful, welcoming, and responsive. An overall GREAT time!
