Tucked along the western shore of Cayuga Lake, LongView on the Cove is a beautifully designed five-bedroom lakefront retreat with space for up to ten guests that captures the essence of a Finger Lakes vacation—peaceful mornings, endless lake views, and the perfect blend of comfort and style. Conveniently located between Seneca Falls and Ithaca, this spacious lake home is ideally positioned for guests who want to explore wine country, visit nearby waterfalls, or simply unwind on the water’s edge!
From the moment you arrive, this beautiful Finger Lakes vacation rental feels like home. Large picture windows bring the lake right into the living space, filling the interior with natural light from sunrise to sunset. The open floor plan allows family and friends to gather comfortably, whether cooking, dining, or relaxing together. Every corner has been thoughtfully designed for connection and comfort.
The full kitchen is a highlight of the lake home. Custom-built cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a gleaming glass backsplash create a modern yet welcoming space for preparing meals. Every appliance and utensil you could need is provided, including a gas stove, side-by-side refrigerator, dishwasher, and microwave. Whether you’re preparing a casual lakeside breakfast or a special dinner after a day of exploring, you’ll have everything you need. Local favorites like the Ithaca Farmers Market and Sauder’s in Seneca Falls make it easy to bring home fresh ingredients and regional treats.
Just beyond the kitchen, the open dining and living area offers a seamless space for gathering. Walls of windows showcase panoramic lake views, while a cozy gas fireplace adds warmth and charm in the evenings. The soft grey tones, wood finishes, and farmhouse-inspired design create a setting that feels both modern and timeless. A comfortable sectional invites everyone to sit back and relax, whether sharing stories from the day or watching the water shimmer outside.
The first floor of this Finger Lakes vacation home also includes a quiet bedroom with a queen-size bed and garden views—a perfect retreat for anyone who prefers main-level living. A convenient half bath is located just down the hall. Upstairs, you’ll find four additional bedrooms, each with its own unique charm. The master suite features a king-size bed, a private bathroom, and large windows overlooking the lake. Just beyond the master, a hidden alcove bedroom provides two extra twin beds—an ideal nook for kids or extra guests. Each of the remaining upstairs bedrooms offers cozy bedding and lake views that make waking up a joy.
Outside, the vacation home continues to impress. A spacious patio and pergola extend the living space outdoors, creating a beautiful setting for grilling, dining, or simply enjoying the peaceful sounds of the water. The expansive yard slopes gently toward the lake, with 200 feet of private lakefront providing plenty of room to swim, sunbathe, or play lawn games. Spend the day floating in the cool waters of Cayuga Lake, then gather around the fire pit as the sun sets over the hills. It’s a place where time slows down, laughter comes easily, and every evening feels like a memory in the making.
Guests who want to explore will find no shortage of things to do nearby. To the south, Ithaca offers charming shops, farm-to-table restaurants, and stunning natural beauty. Hike the trails at Taughannock Falls State Park, Watkins Glen State Park, or Buttermilk Falls, visit the Ithaca Farmers Market, or stroll The Commons downtown. Head north to Seneca Falls and you’ll find the Women’s Rights National Historical Park, the Seneca Museum of Waterways & Industry, and scenic canal walks that connect you to the Finger Lakes region’s rich history. The surrounding area is also dotted with Amish produce stands, local farm markets, and antique shops waiting to be discovered. Fish for salmon or trout in Cayuga Lake or Canandaigua Lake, go horseback riding near Seneca Lake, kayak around Keuka Lake, or enjoy a scenic bike ride through the Finger Lakes wine country.
For wine lovers, the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail is just minutes away, with dozens of award-winning wineries and tasting rooms along the lake. Craft breweries, cideries, and distilleries offer even more ways to savor the flavors of the Finger Lakes region. And for those who love to shop, the Waterloo Premium Outlets and Martin’s Amish Furniture are both nearby, offering everything from handmade pieces to great bargains.
