Just returned most relaxing vacation ever(and that's compared to waterfront vacations in OuterBanks,Key West,Jamaica etc).We stayed at Williams Ridge Lansing New York,on Cayuga Lake.The property consists of two rental cottages and a bunk house.Elly,the owner,has her own cottage on the property and is always available,but not intrusive.Getting to know Elly though is one of the special things about Williams Ridge,she sings,took my novice of a golfer husband to the course behind the woods and gave him better lessons than his buddies and she has 70+ years of local stories. We stayed in the smaller cottage,there is a view of Cayuga Lake from anywhere you can lay your head.There is a small 2 level deck perfect for meals cooked on the charcoal grill.A hammock and tree swing for after meal exercise.It is about 30(a little steep,but not difficult,easily carried my kayak down) steps down to beach(stone/gravel)where there is a firepit,gazebo and "my" dock.The lake is beautiful and clean.Hiking from the lakefront south is fun,there is a cave Elly can direct you to if you don't find it on your own.There is a canoe for guest use on the beach.Bring fishing poles,books,watershoes(wading area of lake has smooth stone bottom),comfy beach chairs and you'll never want to leave!The cottages are rustic and charming,full kitchens, one bathroom per cottage,and satellite tv,there is even a very well maintained outhouse.Hint-be the first one in your group to claim a bed on the sleeping porch!We are two 50ish empty nesters and our dog who feel like they found paradise.We did not wander much from Williams Ridge,but Rogues Harbor had wonderful food,service,sit outside(not scenic,but nice),inside is very interesting.Breakfast ,in other direction, at Triangle Family Restaurant great,try sweet potatoe fries.Lunch at Glenwood Pines on way back from Falls on west side of Cayuga Lake good.I could go on and on, but if you need major R&R to recharge this is it.Barbara
