Welcome to Chirping Pines, a serene lakefront getaway perfectly nestled along the northwestern shore of Cayuga Lake in historic Seneca Falls. Whether you’re visiting for a wedding or graduation at Cornell University, exploring the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail, running in the It’s a Wonderful Life 5K, or attending a concert at Del Lago Resort, this charming 3-bedroom vacation rental with space for up to 8 guests offers a relaxing home base surrounded by natural beauty and Finger Lakes charm. With its peaceful setting, private waterfront just across the street, and cozy modern design, Chirping Pines invites you to unwind and make lasting memories by the water!
From the moment you step inside, you’ll be greeted by modern comfort and warm, neutral tones that create a calming lakeside atmosphere. The open floor plan of the main level makes it easy for everyone to relax and connect. The galley-style full kitchen is thoughtfully designed with plenty of counter space and everything you need to prepare your favorite meals. Just beyond, a wooden dining table provides the perfect place for family meals or morning coffee as sunlight filters through large windows.
The living area is inviting and comfortable, featuring plush seating, a decorative wood stove, and a relaxed, open feel that flows naturally toward the lake. Double French doors lead out to a spacious balcony deck where you can enjoy breathtaking lake views from sunrise to sunset. Early risers will love sipping coffee as the birds sing from the surrounding trees—a peaceful morning ritual that perfectly captures the essence of Chirping Pines.
Two bedrooms are located on the main level of this lake home, each featuring a king-sized bed and thoughtful touches designed to help guests feel at home. The full bathroom on this floor includes a combination tub and shower for added convenience.
Downstairs, a third bedroom with a queen bed and ensuite half bath offers additional privacy and comfort. The lower level also includes laundry facilities and direct access to the outdoors, making it easy to head straight to the water without passing through the main living area.
Step outside, and you’ll discover why this Finger Lakes vacation rental is such a special place. The property’s 50 feet of natural lakefront, located just across quiet Lower Lake Road, invites you to spend your days swimming, kayaking, or simply lounging by the water. The shoreline features a natural rock entry that’s perfect for wading and paddling, and the dock provides a sunny spot for fishing or soaking up the afternoon warmth.
Back at the house, a spacious backyard offers even more opportunities for relaxation and recreation. The large, private lawn is ideal for playing yard games, tossing a frisbee, or enjoying a picnic in the shade. As evening settles in, gather with family and friends around one of the lake home’s two custom-built stone firepits—one by the water and one in the backyard. Roast marshmallows, share stories from your day, and watch the stars appear in the clear Finger Lakes sky.
Beyond the comfort of the property, the town of Seneca Falls is just minutes away, offering a delightful mix of history, culture, and small-town charm. Walk along Fall Street to explore local boutiques, cozy cafes, and restaurants like Parker’s Grille or El Bajio Mexican Restaurant. Visit the nearby Women’s Rights National Historical Park or take a scenic stroll along the Sculpture Trail, where art and nature meet beside the canal.
If you’re looking to explore the Finger Lakes further, the excitement of Ithaca is less than an hour away. There, you can experience the breathtaking beauty of Buttermilk Falls, Taughannock Falls, and Triphammer Falls, or visit the renowned Cornell Botanic Gardens. Downtown Ithaca offers an outdoor pedestrian mall filled with restaurants, cafes, and local shops—perfect for a day trip filled with adventure and discovery. For wine lovers, the opportunities are endless! This vacation rental is conveniently located along the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail, featuring wineries such as Americana Vineyards, Montezuma Winery, and Swedish Hill Winery. The Keuka Lake Wine Trail and Seneca Lake Wine Trails are a short drive away, providing plenty of options for sampling the wide variety of Finger Lakes wine.
