The land that became our property was once owned by the King family. (i.e. Kingtown Beach Road) In the 1970s it was a marina developed by the Fulton family, with 4 small tourist cabins on the hillside above the water. Two more families loved and cared for the property before our family purchased it in late 2018. We're are delighted to share the beauty of Cayuga Lake with guests from all over the United States and the world, and hope to welcome you soon to The Spotted Sandpiper! Situated on 4 acres and with 400’ of secluded frontage on Cayuga Lake, The Spotted Sandpiper is the largest private lakefront vacation rental property in the Ithaca area. We’re nestled at the end of a private road, but only 7 minutes from Trumansburg, 3 1⁄2 miles from Taughannock State Park, and 20 minutes from Ithaca. We're conveniently located along the Cayuga Wine Trail! We are perfect for family reunions and wedding party rentals, families traveling together or friends looking for a week or weekend away! Our beach is an ideal swimming spot for children because of its gentle slope and clear waters.

Spotted Sandpiper Airstream #1

Sandpiper Weekend.

WOW! Totally amazing. Beautiful property, super cozy and comfortable surroundings the cabin we stayed in was perfect and sit it self, simply stunning. The dock and option to have fun in the water was a bonus. The location was great too. Minutes from Ithaca and only a short to Watkins Glen Already recommended to several folks. Thanks for being such a great host Kate ✌️😊👍

In love with this place ❤️

This is such a lovely place. It has everything you would ever want and need for making your camping experience beautiful! We did a fire outdoors at night and made s’mores. We went kayaking in the lake, we swam in the lake. We hiked the woods. Everything was lovely and Kate the owner was super sweet and helpful with all the questions! They even have a lovely bathroom with showers and they offer potable water to drink :) honestly would do this 100% more times ❤️

Magical!!

We had such a magical time this weekend. It's a gorgeous spot on a serene lake with really friendly neighbors. The grounds have tons of extra little things to do like games for kids and a playground, paddle boards, etc. will definitely book again!!

So fun and cool!

We had a great time at the Spotted Sandpiper in the glamping tent! The entire place was super cool. Having waterfront access with kayaks and paddle boards was awesome. The amenities and location was great! We can’t wait to come back! Thank you Kate for a great stay!

Relaxing Stay

We really enjoyed our relaxing stay at the spotted sandpiper. The whole campground area was nice and quiet and the hosts were very accommodating! We enjoyed sitting on the dock on the lake and taking in the beautiful scenery the most. The location was great also- just 20-30 minute drive to nearby towns of Watkins Glen and Ithaca. Highly recommend checking this wonderful place out!

Airstream #2

Camping with a Autistic child

We stayed here for a weekend. Honestly, to disconnect a little from the work routine and daily fatigue, from habit. For me and my daughter, it was the first time, but for my husband it is already common. The place is one where you disconnect from everything and connect with nature. From the moment you arrive you love it, its views, the comfort, the silence. Everything. Let's talk about Airstream #2 It is a cozy place, we are a family of 2 adults, a 5 year old girl (autistic) and a service dog. The place is very clean, it includes sheets, towels and everything necessary, as it says in the description and we loved that. But there is a factor that we did not know and that is that we understand that due to the humidity and the environment it has a lot of mold and you feel it when you breathe and it is seen on the ceiling and on some of the walls. It was also a weekend where the weather was a little unstable and we thought that the RV had an expandable roof as seen in the photo but, unfortunately Kate told us that it did not, since previous guests damaged it, but we took an awning with us and the weather factor did not ruin our stay. Kate was very kind and always looked out for us. He answered our questions, needs and concerns at all times. From answering where a store was closest, to minimal questions about the accommodation. The treatment was very personalized and we liked that a lot. We were delighted with the place and with everything.There are many places to visit nearby.
