Lotta Leisure: Family Retreat

Welcome to Lotta Leisure, your cozy lakefront escape on the shores of Cayuga Lake. Just minutes from downtown Seneca Falls, this charming home offers the perfect mix of comfort, convenience, and relaxation — an inviting getaway for families, couples, or anyone craving a peaceful lakeside retreat.

Step inside and you'll immediately feel at home. The galley-style kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to prepare meals, whether you're whipping up breakfast before a day on the water or cooking dinner with fresh local ingredients from the nearby farmers market. A convenient half bath is located just off the kitchen, making it easy for everyone to freshen up between adventures.

The open living and dining area offers a cozy place to unwind, complete with beautiful views of Cayuga Lake just beyond the windows. Slide open the door to the screened-in porch — a guest favorite — and sip your morning coffee as the sun rises over the water. This peaceful spot is perfect for reading, playing cards, or simply soaking in the tranquil rhythm of lake life.

Upstairs, you'll find two comfortable bedrooms and a full bathroom, along with a washer and dryer for easy cleanup after a day outdoors. With the sleeping and living spaces thoughtfully separated, everyone can enjoy a sense of privacy while still feeling connected.

Outside, wildflowers bloom around the property and a wooden staircase leads you down to the lakefront. The gradual, natural entry into the water makes it ideal for both kids and adults, whether you're splashing along the shore or taking out the provided watercraft for a gentle paddle. Spend sunny afternoons on the dock soaking up the views, then gather around the firepit in the evening to roast marshmallows as the stars appear above Cayuga Lake.

When you're ready to explore, you'll find countless nearby adventures — from hiking at Taughannock Falls to visiting the Women's Rights National Historical Park, or sampling local ice cream at the beloved Cayuga Lake Creamery. Whether you're here for outdoor fun, sightseeing, or simply slowing down, Lotta Leisure lives up to its name.

Come experience the charm, comfort, and easygoing pace of lake life — where every day offers “a lotta leisure” and even more to love.

Little slice of heaven

The cabin was absolutely adorable! Very clean and location was perfect for all what we wanted to do in the area. The beds were very comfortable and having the lake view was the icing on the cake. Quiet and so relaxing, and the full moon over the lake was perfection. I would definitely stay here again.

The property was fantastic! Inside was clean and the house had plenty of room.

Experience was pleasurable. We had only wished we were able to get to kayaks but understood it was a few days prior to the season.

Excellent time at Lotta Leisure!

We stayed for a week and had an amazing time. The place is at a great spot on the lake. Nice cove protected from the wind. The house is cozy, it was clean and the porch is amazing. The bedrooms were good size and the beds were comfortable. I would give the place five stars except for the shower and kitchen being so tiny.

Maybe the Cleanest Cabin on Cayuga!

Lotta Leisure is a great place for 2 or maybe 4 people --- provided they are highly compatible. While the cabin is not large it is exceptionally clean. Finger Lakes Premier Properties manages the property and has an exceptional eye for detail. The cabin is on the shore of lake Cayuga and offers great views, ample space for indoor games. It was really hard to come home! We plan to come back... and that might be the best recommendation.
A view from Lotta Leisure's backyard.  A great place to enjoy your favorite beverage on a summer evening.

Perfect location between lakes!

This property was easy to book, just as described, great location, and what a wonderful guest bag we received! The camp is located right on the water at Cayuga, but on the Seneca side allowing us to explore not only those two but also Chimney State Park on Lake Ontario, and Keuka. We went to Ithaca, Watkins Glen and numerous waterfalls and state parks. Thank you for a fun stay!
