About this property

The Boat House: Wine Country + Lake Living + Perfect Couples Retreat!

Located midway between historical Seneca Falls, and “gorges” Ithaca, The Boat House is the perfect couple's retreat, or singles getaway. Whether you're coming for a wine tour, you're spending the day at beautiful Taughannock Falls State Park or your main goal is to relax and enjoy the views of Cayuga Lake – this lake home has something for everyone.

This recently remodeled tiny home is boasting with beautiful wood flooring, and gorgeous panoramic lake views. Pop a bottle of your new favorite Finger Lakes wine and enjoy “lake life” at its best.

An open living space is adorned in beautiful shades of grey and white. Custom cabinetry, and classic white subway tile accent the kitchen. If you're dining in, stop at local roadside stand and pick up fresh produce for mealtime. Completing the entry level, you'll find a perfectly tiled bathroom with stand up shower and rain shower head.

Upstairs, comfort and luxury meet. A queen size bed offers the perfect cozy setting for laying your head to rest each evening.

The Boat House is merely a few steps away from the splashing waves of Cayuga Lake! The lake will be calling you throughout your stay with plenty of natural, pebble beach that will be all yours. You'll have no problem enjoying the cool, clear water of Cayuga Lake with the provided canoe and kayak. While you're in town, make sure to head over to The Boat Yard Grille, or the Wolffy's Grill and Marina – both are local foodie favorites. The Beer Garden is just two minutes away and offers live music on weekends. Goose Watch Winery, Buttonwood Grove, and Cayuga Ridge Estate are also just a quick jaunt away for a glass of local Finger Lakes wine. Call and make your reservation at The Boat House today!

Relaxing stay

We needed to stay in the area for an unexpected baseball tournament and wished to stay far from the busy hotel scene. The boathouse was a perfect choice. Morning coffee on the pier was exactly what we needed. Quiet and simple accommodations.

The Boat House

Overall the house is excellent, it is secluded, quiet and has a nice pier. You are right on the water. Inside there are a few minor issues but I'm sure the management will address them. The main issue is the listing says it is air conditioned with it 'sort of is'. This is a renovated barn and with the A/C on the ceiling on the first floor it does NOT get to the lofted sleeping area. There should be at least a fan up there to pull the cooler air up. You can open the windows but then you let the cool air out of downstairs. Other than that the shower is awesome, the kitchen is well equipped and the property is easily accessible. The property maintenance manager is awesome and he provided a lot of good 'area' advice.

Quiet Lakeside Getaway

Perfect for a parents-only retreat! The sound of the waves was so soothing, and the views are amazing. The location is a bit far from hiking, most wineries, and “town”, but if that is what you’re after, then this is the perfect spot! Highly recommend going mid-fall!
