Description
Centrally located between the stunning gorges of Ithaca and the charming canal side of Seneca Falls, this cozy bungalow is nestled in a peaceful wooded clearing — the perfect setting for your next Finger Lakes vacation rental. At Bufflehead Bungalow, your time to relax and unwind has finally arrived.
Step inside through the side door and immediately feel the anticipation of a true getaway. The open floor plan creates an inviting space where the chalet-style windows frame spectacular views of the surrounding woods, inviting nature indoors and providing the perfect backdrop for your Finger Lakes vacation experience. The kitchen is fully stocked with all your favorite cooking and baking essentials, complemented by a large island with a breakfast bar that separates it from the comfortable living area. It’s the ideal vacation home layout, encouraging conversation and togetherness as the chef of your group prepares delicious meals to enjoy. Cozy sofas beckon you to curl up with a cup of Finger Lakes brew, plan your day’s adventures, or simply enjoy some quiet time away from the hustle and bustle.
On the lower level, you’ll find two bedrooms, each furnished with queen beds and offering lovely garden views. A full bathroom with a shower/tub combo completes this level, providing ample space and comfort for family or friends.
Upstairs, the loft area with beautiful knotty pine ceilings features four twin single beds dressed in soft pastel bedding — perfect for extra guests or children needing their own space during your stay.
Step outside onto the large wrap-around deck just off the living area, where you can savor a glass of Finger Lakes wine while listening to the gentle sounds of nature. Life at the lake is easy and inviting here.
Just across the road, you’ll find private lake frontage on Cayuga Lake. With 100 feet of natural shoreline to explore, spend your days kayaking along the serene shore, sunbathing on the dock, or searching for unique pieces of lake glass washed ashore. Evenings can be spent gathered around the fire pit, watching stunning sunsets and star-filled skies — a wonderful lake-adjacent experience in this lovely Finger Lakes vacation home.
Bufflehead Bungalow is ideally situated for visitors attending Cornell or Ithaca graduations, local weddings, or simply looking to explore the Finger Lakes region. Nearby attractions include Sheldrake Winery, the scenic hiking trails of Taughannock State Park, and the delightful homemade ice cream at Cayuga Lake Creamery. For food lovers, a trip to Cayuga Shoreline offers fresh local dining and drinks.
One stay at Bufflehead Bungalow and your group will be calling this their new home away from home. Don’t wait — book your Finger Lakes getaway today!
