True lakefront! Parking, C. Air, kayaks, summer days still left! Pontoon option.

Wake up to the beautiful sunrise in Seneca Falls on Cayuga Lake, sip coffee on the wraparound deck. Newer 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. We can accommodate boats - we have access to 3 docks. (Please let us know if bringing a boat so that we can plan your parking ) 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.

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.
