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.
