Wolffy's House on the Hill: Charming Cayuga Lake Home with Sunrise Views!
Welcome to Wolffy's House on the Hill — a cozy Cayuga Lake getaway perfectly nestled between the charm of Seneca Falls and the vibrancy of Ithaca. Whether you're here for a family vacation, a wine trail weekend, or just some time to relax by the lake, this charming hillside retreat offers the best of comfort, convenience, and Finger Lakes beauty.
Step inside and feel right at home. The open-concept main level is bright, welcoming, and designed with relaxation in mind. The kitchen features bold blue cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and everything you need to cook up your favorite meals. Stop by the Ithaca Farmers Market for fresh local ingredients, then gather around the dining table for a meal with lake views—or take your plate outside to the deck and enjoy dinner in the open air.
The living room's large windows fill the space with sunlight from morning to evening, creating a cheerful and airy atmosphere. Cozy up on the sofa and take in the views, or enjoy a glass of local wine as the sun sets over the water.
Upstairs, you'll find three inviting bedrooms, each decorated with simple, soothing touches that make it easy to unwind. Whether you're traveling with family or friends, everyone will have their own comfortable place to rest and recharge after a day of exploring.
Outside, you'll have plenty of space to enjoy the fresh air. The large side yard is perfect for yard games or morning coffee in the sunshine. Take a short walk down the driveway and across the quiet road to access 75 feet of natural lakefront. Spend the afternoon swimming, fishing from the dock, or just relaxing with your feet in the water. When evening comes, gather around the firepit and watch the stars come out—it's the perfect way to end a Finger Lakes day.
You'll also love the home's convenient location. Wolffy's House on the Hill sits right along the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail, putting local vineyards and tasting rooms just minutes away. The Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge is nearby for nature walks and birdwatching, while Taughannock Falls and Buttermilk Falls State Parks are an easy drive south for a day of hiking and stunning views. If you're in the mood for shopping, Waterloo Premium Outlets are close by. And when you don't feel like cooking, walk across the street to Wolffy's Grill & Marina for a lakeside meal and live music with a view.
Whether you're here to explore or unwind, Wolffy's House on the Hill is the kind of place that makes you slow down and truly enjoy lake life. With its comfortable spaces, peaceful views, and great location, it's the perfect home base for your next Finger Lakes escape.

House was perfect for what we needed, beautiful views from the porch, well equipped kitchen for all the cooking we did. The bar near the dock was very busy but closed at 9 anyways so no problem with noise. The dock was in good shape and we had to worries docking our boat there.

Thank you for the 5 star rating. We are happy to see that you enjoyed your stay and we hope to host you again soon.
Planned our trip around our son-in-laws race. Loved the front porch and the music from Wolfie’s restaurant. Only hick-up was blowing a fuse when we used the microwave and the air conditioner was on. The property manager responded right away and sent someone out to make sure everything was ok

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're delighted you enjoyed the front porch and the vibrant atmosphere from Wolfie's restaurant. We apologize for the minor inconvenience with the fuse, but we're glad our property manager was quick to respond and resolve the issue. Your feedback is valuable, and we hope you had a great time despite the hick-up. We look forward to hosting you again soon!
This house is as advertised--the one issue is that not only is it directly next to a (sometimes) rowdy bar, but its lawn bleeds into the parking lot. Very loud delivery trucks woke us up one morning, and oud patrons kept us up one evening. It's also a bit small for the nine people it advertises. Only one bathroom is a bit brutal. But the house is lovely and access to the lake is great.

Hi Amber,
Thank you for taking the time to rate your stay! We appreciate your honest feedback, and we will use it to improve the experience for future guests at this rental. Please come and stay with us again soon!
The house is very clean and up to date. It’s is very comfortable and easy to relax in and enjoy the amenities. We liked the location of the house- beautiful view of Lake Cayuga and the ease of driving to various spots of interest like parks, waterfalls, wineries, and restaurants.
The only drawback is the proximity to the restaurant. The listing says the restaurant is is a short walk and the food is good, both of which are true. The house shares a long property line with restaurant parking and is very close to the restaurant. It is fine on weeknights when the restaurant xloses early, but on Saturday night restaurant patrons stayed on premises talking loudly until around 1am Sunday morning. The rental agreement stated that this area has quiet hours starting at 10 pm. The hours were anything but quiet for the restaurant patrons. This noise led to difficulty sleeping for several members of our family. We loved the house but would steer away from renting it on weekends due to the proximity to the restaurant.
Otherwise we had a very wonderful stay.

Paula, Thank you for your feedback. If you ever decide to stay in the Finger Lakes again we would be happy to help you find the perfect home for your vacation.
The house is clean, very well decorated. There were six adults and three children and we managed just fine even with one bathroom. The beds were comfortable, living room spacious and a porch with a fantastic view. Live music playing from a nearby restaurant. If you're looking for a big kitchen to cook for a big group you'll have a tough time. But with good planning you can make it work. I did.
My family was very impressed with the home all in all. The neighborhood was quiet most of the day. Seneca Falls area and Northeast College are close by.

We rented with a bunch of college friends for a wedding weekend. The house has a great location, amazing view and deck. The only annoying issue we had was that the power kept tripping and we had to go down and Flip the breaker sometimes 7 times a day. If you are going to advertise as a summer home and only have portable AC, you need to increase the voltage because we couldn’t even use the toaster without tripping it.
