Perched Above Cayuga | Sauna · Winery On-Site

Description

Wake up to unobstructed, 180-degree views of Cayuga Lake from your private retreat, perched high above America's first wine trail.
With a winery just 500 feet from your door, a private infrared sauna, a stone firepit overlooking the lake, and an entire floor dedicated to rest and play, this is the kind of place you'll be planning your return trip before you even leave.

The space
This thoughtfully designed three-level cabin sleeps 4 in 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. The main floor features soaring vaulted ceilings, an open-plan kitchen and dining area, and a light-filled living room where every window frames a lake view. Step through the sliding doors onto the covered balcony — four Adirondack chairs, a timber-framed ceiling, and Cayuga Lake stretching as far as the eye can see.

The loft bedroom tucks under the roofline with sloped ceilings and its own charming character. The second bedroom offers quiet comfort with garden views. Both bathrooms are full — no waiting, no sharing.

The R&R level is the home's secret weapon: an entire floor built purely for rest. An infrared sauna glows warm and ready. A game table awaits. A reading nook invites you to slow down. A dining area with panoramic lake views through twin windows rounds out the space — it may be where you spend most of your time.

Outside, a stone firepit with four Adirondack chairs sits in the open lawn with the lake as your backdrop. Evenings here — fire crackling, stars overhead, glass of local wine in hand — are hard to leave behind.

The Location

You're on the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail — America's first wine trail, established in 1983 — and Six Eighty Cellars is a short walk down the path. The winery takes its name from its elevation: 680 feet above the lake bottom. Your cabin is perched even higher, which is where those views come from.

The surrounding area is genuinely rural and private — no neighbors in sight — but major conveniences are never far. Ithaca, Trumansburg, and Seneca Falls are all within 30 to 35 minutes for dining, shopping, and waterfalls. Taughannock Falls State Park is a must-visit nearby.


Perfect For

Couples seeking a romantic wine country getaway. Families with kids ready for adventure. If you believe the perfect vacation involves relaxing at a home that has everything to offer from an infrared sauna to board games and cornhole. If you believe the best evenings end with a barbeque, a glass of local wine in hand, and a sky full of stars.


For the safety and security of guests and the property, exterior security cameras are installed overlooking the entry doors only. No interior spaces are monitored.

Guest access
The entire cabin is yours for the duration of your stay — all three levels, both bedrooms, both bathrooms, the R&R level, the covered balcony, and all outdoor spaces including the firepit and surrounding lawn. There are no shared spaces and no other guests on the property. Parking is free and available directly at the cabin.

Six Eighty Cellars winery is a short walk down the path and is open to the public during regular winery hours — we recommend checking their website before your visit for current hours and events."

The cabin features a smart lock for seamless self-check-in. Your unique access code will be sent to you 24 hours before arrival
