Close to Aurora! Welcome to Cayuga Sunshine, a bright and beautifully updated lakefront home on the east side of Cayuga Lake. Located just outside the charming village of Aurora, this three-bedroom retreat offers a peaceful escape surrounded by the beauty of New York's Finger Lakes region. With 200 feet of private lake frontage, modern comforts, and easy access to wineries, restaurants, and outdoor adventures, this home has everything you need for a relaxing getaway. Step inside and you'll be greeted by soft, calming tones inspired by the lake—cool blues, gentle greens, and warm neutrals that create an immediate sense of peace. The open living and dining area is filled with natural light and overlooks the sparkling water below. It's the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring, with comfortable seating and space to gather for meals, games, or quiet conversation. The fully equipped kitchen is stylish and functional, featuring emerald green cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. An island with seating for two makes it easy for guests to sip wine and chat while the chef of the group prepares dinner. Whether you're cooking a family breakfast or serving up a locally inspired meal with produce from a nearby farm stand, this kitchen has everything you need. Two main-level bedrooms each offer a private retreat with comfortable beds and tranquil décor. Upstairs, a third bedroom with two double beds provides the perfect space for children, friends, or additional guests. With three full bathrooms and thoughtful details throughout, Cayuga Sunshine is designed for comfort and convenience. Outside, you'll find the true heart of this home—a beautiful stretch of private waterfront just a short walk down the driveway and across the quiet road. Adirondack chairs line the shore, offering a front-row seat to the peaceful rhythm of the waves. Take the tandem kayak out for a paddle, enjoy a picnic by the water, or end the evening around the firepit as the sunset paints the sky in shades of pink and gold. Every day here feels a little bit magical. When you're ready to explore, you'll find plenty to do nearby. Visit the world-famous MacKenzie-Childs shop for one-of-a-kind home décor, enjoy dinner at 1833 Kitchen and Bar, or grab a casual meal at Fargo Bar & Grill in Aurora. The surrounding area is filled with wineries, breweries, and scenic trails—Heart & Hands Wine Company, Bright Leaf Vineyard, and Treleaven Wines are all just a short drive away. For outdoor adventures, head south to Ithaca for hikes through Taughannock Falls or Buttermilk Falls State Park, or spend a day exploring charming lakeside towns around the region. Whether you're sipping coffee on the deck, sharing stories around the fire, or watching the sunset dance across Cayuga Lake, Cayuga Sunshine is a place where you can truly unwind. It's the perfect blend of comfort, style, and the natural beauty that makes the Finger Lakes so special. Occupancy: This property is closely monitored for responsible renting.
