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

2 Bedroom House in Seneca Falls

Escape to Petit Retreat, a charming lakeside cottage perfectly situated on Cayuga Lake and just minutes from downtown Seneca Falls. Ideal for couples or a small family, this modern two-bedroom getaway blends comfort, style, and the quintessential Finger Lakes experience. Enjoy peaceful mornings on the decks overlooking the lake, sip local wine, or take in a stunning sunset—this cottage offers the perfect lakeside retreat.
Inside, natural light fills the open-concept living and dining area, where comfortable seating invites relaxation and socializing. The newly renovated kitchen features sleek appliances, granite countertops, and everything needed to prepare your favorite meals. The main-level queen bedroom and lower-level king bedroom each provide private, well-appointed bathrooms for ultimate convenience. A Florida porch off the lower level offers another serene spot to enjoy the lake breeze.
Step outside to the private 25-foot dock, perfect for swimming, fishing, or launching the two kayaks provided for guest use. The dock also includes cleats for mooring small watercraft, giving you endless ways to enjoy the water.
Petit Retreat also comes equipped with thoughtful amenities to make your stay memorable: two Smart TVs, board games, a Bluetooth speaker, and even an acoustic guitar for evenings filled with music and laughter.
Just half a mile away, Cayuga Lake State Park offers a swimming beach, boat launch, playground, and trails. For dining and local flavor, stop by Wolffy's Grill and Marina or explore downtown Seneca Falls with its boutique shops and Finger Lakes wine trail wineries. For shopping or entertainment, the Waterloo Outlet Mall and Del Lago Resort & Casino are only a short drive away.
Whether you're here to relax, explore, or enjoy lakefront fun, Petit Retreat is the perfect home base for your Finger Lakes getaway.
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.
