Wake up to the beautiful sunrise in Seneca Falls on Cayuga Lake, sip coffee on the wraparound deck. New dock (2025). New added roof and furniture on private back deck for your enjoyment .... or relax out on the dock where the lake and all it offers is steps away from the house - no street between you and the lake. Very private compared to other nearby rentals. We have off-road parking on site since we own two water level side-by-side properties (that's often not the case with lakefront properties in this area ... that's why we make sure to show the roadside pictures of our property. There is a new Ordinance in Seneca Falls concerning properties, so beware of a booking with only roadside parking).
Generous 57' of lakefront. Dock on-site (mid-May to October). Blue herons like to fish there at dawn and dusk - and a pair of ospreys can be observed diving for fish right around the dinner hour.
Boating (bring yours or rent ours at Boatsetter.com), restaurants, wine trails, the Del Lago casino and events center, and other attractions await your family. If you have a boat / jetski, bring it along - we have access to 3 docks. Swim ladder and a lakemat (on lake bottom next to dock) in water to enhance your lakeside experience .... There is a nice swimming beach and new playground at the nearby State Park as well. Boaters can enjoy the nearby sandbar and Hibiscus Harbor.
Four sit-in kayaks and one Old Town canoe for your use on site at no charge. (May - October) Besides the pontoon, swim mat, large float and fishing kayak for rent. Extra docks and parking available - please consult with owner ahead of time. There is a sandbar close by where boats like to gather. Life jackets are also supplied. Firepit by the water with wood (one bundle) with more available close by to purchase, or bring your own! Gas grill with propane on side deck.
Cottage is bright and comfortable with amenities and panoramic views. Newer stove and dishwasher. Newly painted kitchen and flooring. Central air, and new additional upstairs individual bedroom units for sleeping and personal preference.
The house is clean and - but not so fancy that guests can't just enjoy themselves and the outdoors. Living room and kitchen area in front of the house are spacious and great for relaxing and entertaining. Kitchen table for dining. WiFi/full cable channels with Spectrum is available throughout the house, up and down on 3 bedroom tv’s and living room tv’s. Cellphone service is very good on land and on water.
1st floor back bedroom / familyroom (with lake and deck right outside door) is a large space with a queen mattress with topper, a full sleeper sofa, a sitting area and Ikea furniture (bolted to the wall).
Upstairs is newly remodeled and carpeted (2024) and has a queen bedroom set in one room. A twin bed, a daybed, and a set of bunk beds in second upstairs bedroom. . Newer half-bath upstairs.
Over 5 guests can easily sleep both up and down with capacity for more (extra-charge of $65/night will show in quote over 5 guests). Please note: Children over a year old are counted in the guest total when booking.
Large full bath with tub and shower on the first floor, with stacking laundry.
Lots of quiet space for relaxing, playing games, and listening to the waves lap up onto the shore as the moonlight glows over the lake. Great cross breezes, and ceiling fans if preferred over the central A/C. Each floor has ceiling fans in every room (except baths).
The Blue Heron has driveway parking for 3-4 vehicles. Please ask ahead about additional parking which can be arranged on site, including boat trailer parking. Lakeside restaurant and outdoor boat bar (Wolffy's) is just a few-minute walk for your convenience. Golf course, playgrounds all nearby. Great lakeside road for biking and walking
Of course, the Finger Lakes offer wine trails all around, including within a few miles. Guests can arrange their own wine tours online
for pickup from the cottage! (Please search online for Cayuga/Seneca Wine trails since availability changes each season). Great shopping at the Fingerlakes outlet mall, and the Del Lago casino event center is 7 miles north. New smaller casino also 1 mile away. Lots of sightseeing in the area, including Taughannock Falls. Destinations such as Ithaca, Geneva, Skaneateles, Canandaigua, and Rochester are all in the area. Montezuma wildlife refuge, Corning Glass Museum, Watkins Glen and Niagara Falls are some of the attractions that can be enjoyed in a day.

Check back for the occasional cancellation if the dates you prefer are already booked. The season fills up quickly.

    This was our third year starting at this house. It's nice and clean. The owners take care of the house, each year they've made upgrades. It's nice and private, and it's close to many things. We'll probably make next year, our fourth year in a row coming here.

    The beds were so comfortable! The water pressure in the shower was surprisingly good and the hot water kicked in quickly! Faster than ours at home. And a few little things in the bathroom were so helpful, providing a place to set things/bathroom bags (often overlooked by vrbo houses). The towel hanging rack plus the over the door hooks... more useful places to put things. The house was clean, the location and lake great, and the owners were fantastic to work with!

    Our family (6 adults and 3 young kids) enjoyed the cottage, including the canoe, kayaks and fire pit. The space had everything we needed for our family with enough space to eat together and spend quality time together. Location was excellent for hiking excursions, not too far from some beautiful trails/waterfalls. The lake was warm and nice to have swimming for kids. The floor of lake is very mucky but with a floaty it was perfectly fine. Thank you for having us, we would recommend and come back again!

    Our family had an amazing time! Laurie was a most welcoming host and showed us around when we first arrived. She was super accommodating of letting us use their lake mat for the duration of the stay because one of their float we were going to rent was not usable. The shade on the porch was great for my parents who liked staying out of the sun. There was plenty of room with bedrooms for everyone. It was clean and not very buggy at all inside. The kitchen had everything we needed! The a/c units in the two rooms upstairs were super helpful with the heat. The view of the lake was so relaxing. My kids had a blast fishing off the dock and playing in the water. We will certainly be looking to book again! Thank you!

    We had an outstanding time here. The owners are very courteous and conscious of their property and do everything they can to make it absolutely enjoyable. The cottage itself is gorgeous and perfectly situated. It’s well equipped both inside and outside. We had the most enjoyable stay that we’ve had in many years of fun and great times at the finger lakes. We cannot recommend this property enough. It was just awesome.

    Was disappointed in the overall accomodations. The whole outside of the property should have been power washed. The upstairs bedroom door did not latch closed. We had to make our beds every day as the sheets WOULD NOT STAY ON. It was like every part of the property was short cutted.

    We really enjoyed the location of the house. The view of the lake was fantastic. The house had plenty of room and everything was well appointed. The mattresses were a bit too firm and the queen mattress in the downstairs bedroom had a plastic covering on it which made for uncomfortable night’s sleep. Overall the house was great, despite a few cobwebs. Some upgrades to the mattresses, pillows and linens and the house would be perfect. wrapped in plastic and was a little

    The rental has a lot of room and would be perfect for a bigger family. It absolutely met our needs. It was myself and my son. My main concern was we were in a safe neighborhood, ABSOLUTELY! We have found most cottages by the lake don't have a/c so it was nice to have the window units upstairs for when we slept. We had everything we needed for cooking etc. We didn't use the washer and dryer but it was nice that it was there. We also rented their pontoon boat they have avail on boatsetter.com and spending the day on the lake was a highlight. We live in MI and swim in the big lake often and an inland lake with a sand bottom so swimming in a weedy lake isn't for us but kayaking which is provided was super. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others; Laurie and Hunter were both great to deal with.

    This property was wonderful to stay at for a few nights!! Walk out from the back right into the water and a beautiful view. Best stocked kitchen I've ever had at a rental property, they have everything you will need plus basic spices. Great open floor plan with large living room and kitchen. Bedrooms perfect for adults and bunk beds for kiddos. Plenty of windows and screen doors to let in the beautiful breeze and mild temperatures. This Florida girl has NEVER slept with windows open in the summer, what a treat! Wonderful to have access to kayaks, canoe and life vests. We also rented the pontoon boat for a day on the lake. Can't get any better than walking out the back door and on to a boat that is all your for 8 hours! Only down side, there is a lot of grass in the water around the dock, little ones may be creeped out by the feel of it. Would definitely stay again!

    This house is truly lake front with parking available. We rented a pontoon from the owners, which worked out great! The house is conveniently located near wineries. Communication with the hosts was great. The pictures are a good representation of what to expect. New AC window units in the upstairs bedroom kept the bedrooms cool at night. This house worked well for a group of 6 woman.
