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

Spotted sandpiper airstream #1!!

We loved the spotted sandpiper air stream #1! My pup loved the stay. It was cozy, secure and fun. We had all the basic necessities met and we loved the convenience of having the our own private restroom directly next to our airstream. There isn’t a ton of privacy as it’s situated next to other campers but if you don’t mind socializing a bit, it’s not bad at all. Instructions getting to the airstream are a little more complicated than it was to actually get there (it’s pretty straightforward) but that’s not a bad thing. The only difficulty we experienced was knowing which airstream was ours, as the markings for the cabins & other airstreams/RV’s weren’t clearly marked and made for a hard time locating our camper but we made it nonetheless! We’d love to return in the summer, as we stayed during fall foliage season (def recommend) to chase local waterfalls (all within 30min). Overall a great experience

Spotted Sandpiper Glamping Site 1

A Serene Glamping Retreat in Nature

The Spotted Sand Piper Glamping Tent was a delightful discovery that exceeded my expectations! Nestled in the heart of nature, this glamping experience offered the perfect balance of outdoor adventure and modern comforts. The tent itself was a true gem, with its thoughtful design and impressive amenities. From the cozy interior to the convenient fridge and TV, every detail was carefully considered to enhance the glamping experience. The free firewood was an especially nice touch, allowing me to enjoy the warmth and ambiance of a campfire. The host's responsiveness and attention to detail were also noteworthy. They were quick to address any questions ensuring a seamless and enjoyable stay. I look forward to returning to this hidden gem in the Finger Lakes region many times in the future. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a unique and unforgettable glamping experience!

Airstream #2

The Airstream was very cute and had everything we needed, free firewood, water and more. The owners were very accommodating and responsive. The campground is right on the lake and the views are beautiful, we would love to visit the campground again.

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 ❤️
