The Boat House: Wine Country + Lake Living + Perfect Couples Retreat!
Escape to The Boat House, a charming tiny home perfectly situated between historic Seneca Falls and the stunning gorges of Ithaca. This cozy Finger Lakes vacation rental is an ideal retreat for couples or solo travelers looking to unwind and soak up panoramic views of Cayuga Lake.
Step inside to discover beautiful wood flooring and a bright, open living space designed in calming shades of grey and white. The kitchen boasts custom cabinetry and classic white subway tile accents, fully equipped for preparing your favorite meals. Be sure to stop by local roadside stands to pick up fresh produce and ingredients to enhance your culinary experience.
The entry-level bathroom features elegant tile work and a luxurious rain shower head, providing a spa-like experience after a day of exploring. Upstairs, the queen-size bedroom offers a comfortable and cozy haven with breathtaking lake views—a perfect spot to rest and rejuvenate.
Just a short walk from the front door, you'll find your private natural pebble beach where you can swim, sunbathe, or simply relax by the water. The Boat House provides a canoe and kayak, making it easy to paddle along the pristine Cayuga Lake waters and enjoy the tranquility of lake life.
Local dining options include The Boat Yard Grille and Wolffy's Grill and Marina, both popular for their fresh, local flavors. For a laid-back evening, the nearby Beer Garden offers live music on weekends—a great way to experience the local scene.
Wine lovers will appreciate the close proximity to renowned Finger Lakes wineries such as Goose Watch Winery, Buttonwood Grove, and Cayuga Ridge Estate, all just a short drive away. Whether you're here to explore the vineyards, hike nearby Taughannock Falls State Park, or simply relax and enjoy the stunning lake views, The Boat House offers the perfect base for your Finger Lakes getaway.
This vacation home is smoke-free and pet-free, with one parking space available and convenient access to a permanent dock. Book your stay at The Boat House today and discover the best of Cayuga Lake's serene beauty and charm.
