Bufflehead Bungalow: Family Fun across from Cayuga Lake!

Welcome to Bufflehead Bungalow, your perfect Finger Lakes vacation rental tucked away in a peaceful wooded clearing between Ithaca's breathtaking gorges and the charming canals of Seneca Falls. This cozy, family-friendly vacation home offers a relaxing escape with easy access to the best of the Finger Lakes region.

Inside, you'll love the open floor plan with chalet-style windows that fill the space with natural light and stunning views of the surrounding woods. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare your favorite meals, complete with a large island and breakfast bar — perfect for gathering with your group and sharing stories over breakfast or dinner.

The living area invites you to unwind on plush sofas with a cup of local Finger Lakes coffee or your favorite book. Two comfortable queen bedrooms with garden views provide restful spaces for a great night's sleep, while the loft upstairs offers additional sleeping for kids or extra guests with four twin beds beneath charming knotty pine ceilings.

Step outside onto the large wrap-around deck to sip a glass of Finger Lakes wine, listen to the peaceful sounds of nature, and soak in the fresh air. Just a short walk across the road, enjoy 100 feet of private natural shoreline on Cayuga Lake where you can kayak, sunbathe, or simply relax by the water. In the evenings, gather around the fire pit for starry skies and cozy campfire memories.

Bufflehead Bungalow is ideally located for exploring local wineries, hiking trails, and charming towns. Whether you're here for a family reunion, graduation, or just to unwind, this vacation home offers everything you need for an unforgettable Finger Lakes getaway.
