About this property
Lotta Leisure: Family Retreat
Welcome to Lotta Leisure, your cozy lakefront escape on the shores of Cayuga Lake. Just minutes from downtown Seneca Falls, this charming home offers the perfect mix of comfort, convenience, and relaxation — an inviting getaway for families, couples, or anyone craving a peaceful lakeside retreat.
Step inside and you'll immediately feel at home. The galley-style kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to prepare meals, whether you're whipping up breakfast before a day on the water or cooking dinner with fresh local ingredients from the nearby farmers market. A convenient half bath is located just off the kitchen, making it easy for everyone to freshen up between adventures.
The open living and dining area offers a cozy place to unwind, complete with beautiful views of Cayuga Lake just beyond the windows. Slide open the door to the screened-in porch — a guest favorite — and sip your morning coffee as the sun rises over the water. This peaceful spot is perfect for reading, playing cards, or simply soaking in the tranquil rhythm of lake life.
Upstairs, you'll find two comfortable bedrooms and a full bathroom, along with a washer and dryer for easy cleanup after a day outdoors. With the sleeping and living spaces thoughtfully separated, everyone can enjoy a sense of privacy while still feeling connected.
Outside, wildflowers bloom around the property and a wooden staircase leads you down to the lakefront. The gradual, natural entry into the water makes it ideal for both kids and adults, whether you're splashing along the shore or taking out the provided watercraft for a gentle paddle. Spend sunny afternoons on the dock soaking up the views, then gather around the firepit in the evening to roast marshmallows as the stars appear above Cayuga Lake.
When you're ready to explore, you'll find countless nearby adventures — from hiking at Taughannock Falls to visiting the Women's Rights National Historical Park, or sampling local ice cream at the beloved Cayuga Lake Creamery. Whether you're here for outdoor fun, sightseeing, or simply slowing down, Lotta Leisure lives up to its name.
Come experience the charm, comfort, and easygoing pace of lake life — where every day offers “a lotta leisure” and even more to love.

Everything was awesome. The amenities were good. The house was great. Comfortable and warm on the cold blustery days we were there for. Great location. Close to Tahanock and Seneca Falls.

The cabin was absolutely adorable! Very clean and location was perfect for all what we wanted to do in the area. The beds were very comfortable and having the lake view was the icing on the cake. Quiet and so relaxing, and the full moon over the lake was perfection. I would definitely stay here again.

Lotta Leisure is a great place for 2 or maybe 4 people --- provided they are highly compatible. While the cabin is not large it is exceptionally clean. Finger Lakes Premier Properties manages the property and has an exceptional eye for detail. The cabin is on the shore of lake Cayuga and offers great views, ample space for indoor games. It was really hard to come home! We plan to come back... and that might be the best recommendation.

Tim,
Thanks for the kind words! We're so glad you enjoyed the peaceful setting and found the cabin exceptionally clean. Lotta Leisure is a gem on Cayuga, and we’d love to welcome you back for another relaxing stay!
The location and cabin was great for our family of 5. The house was clean, looking exactly like presented on pictures. One of the downsides were beds, the mattresses were very uncomfortable, way too soft. The other thing was the kitchen, it would be nice to have a basic pantry staff, at least some salt and pepper. Lastly, the check out instructions posted on fridge were slightly different than those send out via email. The place and the area was peaceful and quiet. Great place to relax.

The place was just what we ordered! Peaceful, near lake, comfortable, all we needed! Accommodations were excellent although shower was interesting! Highly recommend it!
