Magical lakefront treehouse, minutes to downtown A magical treehouse perched over its own gorge on Cayuga Lake. This place is special!

All of this is minutes from downtown Ithaca, Cornell, and Taughannock Falls state park. It’s also a great base to explore the Finger Lakes wine region.The core of the home dates from 1890 has been expanded over the years with a distinctive architecture that preserves the original elements of the home.
