BEAUTIFUL WATERFRONT ESCAPE
Get away for a short term vacation or longer term stay for a change of work scenery to this gorgeous lakefront house perfectly situated minutes from Seneca falls, Ithaca, the outlets and all of the wineries on both Cayuga and Seneca Lakes. Recently renovated, this charming house is completely furnished for your enjoyment and comfort. This house has an open concept kitchen/dining/living room overlooking pristine Cayuga lake and is perfect for gatherings and enjoying friends and family. This home offers water views from every bedroom with the largest bedroom opening onto an enclosed porch with 180 degree lake views. There is an additional living room/game room upstairs that can also be used as a sleeping porch (4th bedroom). The house is just steps from the water and also offers grassy yards on the lower and upper portions of the property. There is a full bathroom on the upper level where the bedrooms are located and a half bath for convenience on the lower level. ALL THE INSIDE AMENITIES YOU COULD WANT ARE PROVIDED FOR YOUR COMFORT AND STRESS-FREE LIVING: free WiFi, two cable TVs (living room and large bedroom) and a Roku TV in the sleeping porch, microwave, Keurig machine, Ninja, cookware and serving ware, washer/dryer, linens, extra blankets, comfy couches, two living areas, and soothing décor. OUTSIDE, EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO RELAX AND HAVE FUN ARE PROVIDED: BBQ grill, kayaks, paddle boards and inflatable rafts. THE LOCATION CANNOT BE BEAT. A four and a half hour drive from NYC and 45 minutes from two major airports (Syracuse and Rochester). The house is minutes from all the Finger Lake wineries, the town of Seneca Falls (where “It’s a Wonderful Life” was filmed and the home of the first women's rights convention), and a newly constructed women’s history museum. The house is also not far from the popular and charming Skaneateles. An easy one-mile walk brings you to a state park on the lake with trails, a boat launch, sandy beaches, a playground and picnic tables.
Smoking is strictly prohibited inside the house and within 15 feet of the house. Although the house is not child-proof, children are welcome. Occupancy is limited to 6 maximum, but with prior notice, can sleep up to 8. The house offers parking for 3 vehicles. Note: there is a flight of steps to get from the parking area at road level to the house at lake level but when you see what LIVING ON THE LAKE offers, it is completely worth it.

What a wonderful property. The lake feet from your front porch. Osprey, cormorants, geese, ducks and songbirds going about their day. Fish jumping in the lake. All the ingredients for a peaceful respite.
Beautiful lakefront property. Back deck or sleeping porch were wonderful places to watch the sunrise. Beds very comfortable and kitchen was well equipped. Great communication with host. Would definitely stay again
We had a very enjoyable stay. House was well stocked with everything we needed right down to coffee for the coffee maker. Location on the lake was excellent. Had great communication with property manager.Would stay here again.
Exactly as the pictures indicated lakefront literally by 10 steps and well appointed well maintained and very clean cabin. Will stay here again if I have the opportunity with my family.

Thank you so much and I hope you will come stay again.
Excellent stay during 4th of July week. The house is a gem on Cayuga Lake. Great Location. House has everything that you need to enjoy your time on the lake. We enjoyed the kayaks and the stand up paddleboard as well.
Fantastic week on the lake at this cute cottage. Despite lots to do in the surrounding area, we barely left the property - bouncing between the multiple rooms and outdoor spaces. Amazing sunrises. Lots of water toys to play with. Hosts were very responsible and friendly. Would definitely stay again.
My wife and I had a great stay here while visiting Seneca falls and the local winery/breweries. Amazing views of the lake and a fully stocked kitchen allowed us to really unwind in the evening. We look forward to staying here again when we visit the area in the future.

I am so glad you and your wife enjoyed your stay and we look forward to having you stay again.
We enjoyed the wineries nearby and the beautiful lakeview property. They kayaks were fun and when it rained there was plenty of games and stuff to do indoors.

I am so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay at the lake.
This was a great place, the pictures are super accurate. The owner had great communication, the house is super clean and organized. If you are looking for a place right on the water with a great view look no further

Thanks Melina, glad you and the family had a wonderful time. Also, so happy that you guys met the neighbors and enjoyed the lake.
We very much enjoyed our staff. The house was very clean and one of the most well stocked kitchens I have seen. The location was perfect for exploring the region! We would love to come back in the summer to take advantage of the lake activities.
Very comfy cottage right on the lake with some nice updates and amenities I don’t usually see in similar properties I’ve stayed at. Everything was as described and the area was very peaceful.
It was also nice being so close to Seneca Falls. Plenty of restaurants nearby as well as a couple grocery stores so we were able to pack light.
Would definitely stay again and recommend.

Our family throughly enjoyed our stay at Cayuga Lake. The house had everything we needed and the kids loved the paddle boards and kayaks. The fishing was great. The water off the dock was pretty murky for swimming but we found a great spot at Seneca State Park.

Hi Michelle,
I am so glad you and your family enjoyed your stay. I am so sorry about the water, it is usually so clear. Probably with all of the rain this year it had an affect on the water. I am glad you you had a great time anyway and hope you will come back.
Claudia
We staying for a long weekend. We love the water, and truly enjoyed being able to listen to it and see it every moment! The house is feet from the water.

Thank you so much for your review. Glad you enjoyed your stay.

The view of Cayuga Lake from the patio and the living room was as beautiful as advertised and the property was well stocked for our visit. I will say, arachnophobes may want to avoid, since we encountered plenty of 8-legged friends in the cabin, but that didn't bother any of us since we're used to country life. As light sleepers, all the creaks and knocking of the house did make it difficult to sleep peacefully.
Charming and well stocked with anything you need in the kitchen (I would only add a meat thermometer), we really enjoyed our stay here. Plenty of supplies on hand and paddle boards etc to enjoy the lake. We loved the porches and the fire pit. The host and manager were easy to contact for incidental needs/questions.The stairs are pretty steep if you have mobility issues. Overall wonderful!

About the host
Hosted by Claudia Romano
This is my first home and I am so excited to share it with guests. I know life can get stressful and I wanted a place where I could get away and relax. In particular, I wanted to be able to wake up and feel at ease while sitting and having a coffee with friends while looking at the water. I have found such peace at this house and I hope you will enjoy my home as much as I have. I have tried to create an environment where you can relax and enjoy your time.
