Seneca Falls House | Petit Retreat: The sweetest thing on Cayuga Lake!

2 Bedroom House in Seneca Falls

Located minutes from downtown historic Seneca Falls, the Petit Retreat might just be the cutest cottage on Cayuga Lake! Ideal for a couple's getaway or a family of four, this little gem runs right along the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail. When you arrive, you will be drawn to the freshly updated exterior and the brand-new decks overlooking the lake, a perfect spot to enjoy a bottle of Finger Lakes wine and toast to the beginning of your getaway!
Once inside this cozy retreat, all your cares will wash away. The floor plan design is perfectly planned out for maximizing space! With the lake shining through the windows, you'll have great views from every angle of this cottage.
A newly renovated, open modern galley kitchen offers all the cookware needed for a perfect meal created from local ingredients. Off the kitchen, the living and dining area are equally as lovely and comfortable. You can settle in either of the bedrooms, one a king and the other a queen, each with their own bathroom. There are two brand new spacious outdoor decks and a Florida porch, all of which are conducive to Finger Lakes Dreaming.
Now about this lake. It is rumored, and we believe it might be true, that right off your own 25 foot private dock is the best swimming spot on the whole lake! Sunset paddle anyone? The Petit Retreat offers two single kayaks exclusively for your use to enjoy the clear and calm Cayuga Lake. The dock also comes equipped with cleats from which you can moor your small craft.
Among the many indoor amenities include two Smart TV's, family favorite board games, a Wifi speaker for enjoying your own playlists and even an acoustic guitar for those musicians among you.
Should you decide to leave the Retreat, about a half mile down the road is the Cayuga Lake State Park, which is known for amazing birding, fishing and swimming. The park includes a boat launch, swimming beach and playground. Afterwards be sure to swing by local favorite Wolfy's Grill and Marina for a Finger Lakes craft beer and their famous Bang Bang Shrimp!
Historic Seneca Falls is also a town fit for foodies. A list of local recommendations are available in the cottage guest book, including some delicious finds in other neighboring towns. A bonus if you are in the mood, you will not be far from the Waterloo Outlet Mall and the Del Lago Casino and Resort.
Below Deck: Please watch your head when using the stairs leading from the living room down to what we refer as "Below Deck"- which is where you will find the spacious 2 bedroom and Florida porch. If you prefer not to use the rather steep stairs, we highly recommend accessing the bedroom by walking alongside the house and entering through the porch.

Summary: It was very nice! Location was perfect! The only thing was the kitchen didn’t have some things that most rentals have.

Summary: We loved our stay here! It is a small home but how much space is actually needed to sit, relax, and just enjoy the water?! We were created with gifts for us and our pooch. The home was clean and ready for us when we arrived. The beds were comfortable. There were plenty of linens for my husband and I. We enjoyed the location immensely! We are definitely coming back! The only constructive feedback we have is to tidy up the windowsills on the backside of the house. Th widows in the three season room are dirty and difficult to use, and the windows on the backside of the house for the upstairs deck where the table is were pretty filthy, like they had just been forgotten when the rest of the home was cleaned.

Summary: Petit Retreat is an excellent lake house for 2. Well decorated for lake life, bright and cheery. Very clean and well appointed with every thing you may need including 2 kayaks and life vests. The 2 outdoor decks are very nice especially to watch sunrises and the sunroom off of the lower bedroom is also well appointed and nice for inclement days. The only downfall is the steps to the lower bed/bath. Duck and go slow! Overall, excellent.

Summary: We absolutely love this house! It was the perfect size for our three person family. The air-conditioning were great, the window blinds were great to block the morning sun, the stove, microwave, and coffee pot all worked great! We got a little welcome bag that had everything we need to get us started like a sponge, dish soap, paper towels, toilet paper. The deck and patio were fantastic! The yard furniture was very comfortable and perfect for our stay.

Summary: What a cute bungalow on Lake Cayuga. Loved the views and location. Updated amenities with a lovely kitchen, baths and seating area. We loved sitting on the lower level sun room. The only negative was the stairs to the lower level which were very steep and tight. However, everything else was perfect!

Summary: My family (me, husband, 7 yo, 9 yo, dog) stayed at Petit Retreat for an extended weekend (6/14-6/17). The property is adorable. Perfect size for us! The kitchen is well equipped. I made breakfast each day and cooked dinner once. They had everything I needed. Heads up that it gets very warm, very quickly inside when using the oven. We used the grill and it worked (unlike many other rentals we’ve done over the years). Some info we received said to bring linens/towels but all those items were present for us. We did bring beach towels and are glad we did. The location is perfect! Our sons literally ran right to the dock on arrival and dropped lines. They spent a LOT of their time there and caught fish within 10 minutes of starting. We used the kayaks as well and they loved that! I didn’t do 5 stars on cleanliness for minor issues. The coffee pot was literally reading that it needed to be cleaned and inside the water reservoir there was a thick layer of scum. There were a lot of gnats (to be expected when staying on a lake) but the dead ones were layered on windowsills, the kitchen chairs and other areas. Our kids found a full beer can on the porch on arrival day. Ultimately minor issues and attributed to cleaning staff, not the home or home owners. Property management said late check out was possible and to call before check in to be sure, upon calling we were told that was basically impossible to ever do. Big discrepancy on their end as late check out was very important to us.
