Lake, Wine, and Relax with the whole family. This 5 bedroom elevated A frame house includes 4 king beds, 2 twin beds, and also 2 queen sleeper sofas. The large kitchen and open eating area can accommodate a small or large group. The private dock with direct access to the lake provides fun for everyone. This home is perfect for a weekend or week long getaway with family and friends. Ten minutes from Seneca Falls, nestled along the Cayuga Wine Trail with private and peaceful water front views.

Setting the coffee maker for just before sunrise, you will be looking forward to getting up early at our Cayuga Lake House retreat. As the sun’s rays break the horizon to touch down on the water, all your stress will simply melt away. While you sit on the deck sipping your fresh coffee overlooking Cayuga, you begin to contemplate what activities the day has in store. Whether you plan to explore all of the Cayuga Wineries, jump over to the Seneca Wineries, or take a boat or kayak out on Cayuga…your day is going to be amazing.

If your previous night included fun at the del Lago Casino and you need a little more rest, every room has blackout shades to extend your slumber. A recovery day at the house is inviting. The well stocked kitchen holds a large island with seating and is a great place to gather as meals are being prepared. The dining area opens to the deck by large french doors, allowing for family board games to be played and memories to be created. For those wanting to sit back and relax, the living room contains a sectional sofa and a pull-out queen sleeper sofa. Moving back to the sun room, there is another pull-out queen sleeper sofa, TV, and convertible gaming table that has foosball, minipool, and table hockey. The sun room is also the main entry point for the home.

With three of the five bedrooms having lake views, everyone will feel “at the lake”. The other two rooms have their bonuses as well. The second upstairs room, being the “kids” room, has a low loft twin bed with a rolling trundle twin bed and TV; the kids will have a space of their own. The main floor bedroom is the other room without a direct lake view. However, it is also one of the largest, again with its own TV, and most accessible as it is on the main floor with the main floor full bath and walk-in shower just across the hall. A perfect room for those that have difficulty navigating lots of stairs.

Going down one more flight of stairs, you enter the walk-out basement level. This area contains two large bedrooms, each with views of the lake. Both bedrooms have king sized beds, large closets, and a TV in each room. There is also a full bathroom on this floor with a walk-in shower. This level is where you will find the full sized washer and dryer as well.

Walk down the driveway and cross the road to your own lake access and dock. Sixteen steps down to the lake and you are ready to jump in your kayak to explore. The north part of Cayuga is shallow and does freeze in the winter. Thus, during these months, the dock is pulled out of the water. Also something to keep in mind if you plan to bring your boat is your boat’s draft. Make sure to check the depth chart! There is a boat launch just 1.5 miles away at the Cayuga State Park for easy access to the water.

We love our Cayuga lake house due to its proximity to Seneca Falls restaurants, the Cayuga and Seneca Wine Trails, multiple colleges and universities, shopping at the Premium Outlets in Waterloo, going to hike in the Fingerlakes National Forest, exploring the sight and sounds at the Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge or simply hanging out at the house. During the college bowl season, every room has a TV. With BYOSS (Bring Your Own Streaming Service) and >200GB download internet speeds, you can choose your game by walking from one room to another.
