Weekend Adventures

We visited for 3 nights to explore hiking wineries and lake views . The cabin was very clean and neat . Porch was great to view the lake especially during the rain, so peaceful. Loved the lakefront for campfires at night and in the morning to watch the beautiful sunrise!! It was amazing!! Easy directions to cabin. Main bedroom with view of lake - beds were super soft !! Thank you for a great trip

We enjoyed our week stay so much! The cottage is very beautiful, so clean and had everything we needed for cooking and enjoying the lake. We were thankful it was close to wineries, grocery stores and great places to eat! We definitely hope to stay at this cottage again in the near future.  To the owners, we appreciate so much you sharing your beautiful cozy place!! Thank you!

It is a very nice house!  The house sits up from the water and there are beautiful views from the sunroom and outside!. We brought camping chairs and folding table to sit on the side yards.  Easy walk into water from the beach or off dock. . Older house and the kitchen is a little cramped but the our party of 4 made it work.  Sunroom is great and there is a bar counter to sit it!  Very nice gas fireplace and wall A/C that cools quickly for the summer.   The shower is small and tight!  House is close to the road and there is car noise if you are sitting outside by house.

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.

Very relaxing

Cottage was clean and as described.

By Gerard from Exton, Pennsylvania , Stay: 06/12/2023 - 06/16/2023

Great with no surprises

Everything was as advertised. The kitchen was well stocked. We never sat at the dining room table, could not give up watching the lake from the screened in porch! Beds were comfortable, enjoyed the fire pit and sitting in the shade. Thanks for the Kayaks, I enjoyed the early morning calm waters. This house brought me back to my childhood spent in Trumansburg with vacations in a cottage on the lake.

By Jessica from Havertown, Pennsylvania, Stay: 06/10/2022 - 06/12/2022

We loved 'Lotta Leisure'! the kitchen was a little tight especially being by the front door but that's the only con we had the whole weekend. the location was incredible and the house was so quaint. we cant wait to come back!

By Joseph from Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania , Stay: 05/05/2023 - 05/07/2023

Loved it!

By Sara from Rochester, New York, Stay: 04/28/2023 - 04/30/2023

We were even more delighted with this property than expected (and our expectations were high!). It met our needs perfectly.

By Geoff, Stay: 05/11/2023 - 05/14/2023

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.

By Dianne M, Stay: 09/10/2022 - 09/17/2022

This is probably the cleanest house we have ever rented for vacation. It was the perfect size for us to kick back for a week. We ate breakfast every morning at the table on the sun porch! It was very quiet even with the main road!

By Norman B from Keedysville, MD, Stay: 10/13/2022 - 10/16/2022

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. We especially liked having the rocking recliner in the living room and the enclosed porch overlooking the lake was wonderful! We actually saw a spectacular 'harvest' moon rise over the lake during our first night; the view from the porch was perfect.

By Cynthia K, Stay: 09/30/2022 - 10/03/2022

Lotta Leisure was a cozy stay for the both of us, lake view was lovely, quiet, close to wineries and falls.

By Marge H from Indianapolis, IN, Stay: 09/17/2022 - 09/24/2022

Family property since 1914. Parents wedding reception was here. We lived here until I was 7! We tried to manage the property unsuccessfully. Delighted that a local family has done the TLC to make it shine once again. Come for just one coffee on the dock…Go home rejuvenated.

By Allen from Paradise, Pennsylvania, Stay: 08/05/2022 - 08/12/2022

A much needed retreat

This was a wonderful place for us to stay on a much needed week away. The house was very clean and well equipped. Although the house was close to Rte 89, the traffic on this part of 89 is comparatively light and most of our living was in the back section of the house; it was a quiet place to live for a week. It was super to be right on the lake and have free access to our own private beach. Sun and moon rises over the lake were strikingly beautiful. This was a great place for us!!

Summer lake house

Found the property to be exceptionally clean and equipped with many amenities. It is quiet and bird watching was fun. On the down side the lot was small and lacked a picnic table to eat outside. The bathrooms were a bit smaller than I was expecting but everything worked well. It is perfect for a family of 3 to 5.

perfect for the 3 of us

my first impression when we arrived was the cleanliness of the house and the well-manicured shrub beds. It had everything we needed, linens provided too. a small beach to launch our kayaks, a fire ring to make s'mores, and the sound of the lake waves slapping to shore, what more do you need? The perfect little cottage!!!

Nice accommodations, beautiful views!

The property was exactly as described, with a lovely view of the lake from the back room. Fortunately, there was a harvest moon the night we arrived and the view was spectacular! The rocking recliner was comfortable, as were the beds. Sofa in the living room was not particularly comfortable, but was ok for watching tv. Everything was very clean. The shower could use a portable grabbar, as could the upstairs toilet. Also, the owners might consider putting a small 'rubber' mat on the floor of the shower. We would definitelly recommend this property to future vacationers!

Perfect!

This house was the perfect size for the four of us that stayed! The house had many neat characteristics to it! It has a neat sunroom overlooking the lake that was perfect to drink coffee! The outside views were breath taking! Great area by the lake for a bonfire. It was also very clean and well maintained. Easy check in and check out process. Plus, it is located very close to many great wineries! It was the perfect getaway for a long weekend!

The place was just what we ordered! Peaceful, near lake, comfortable, all we needed! Accommodations were excellent although shower was interesting! Highly recommend it!

Great "Old Timey" appeal

Staying at Lotta Leisure brought back great memories of my childhood lake vacations. Good central location if you have wide ranging interests. Quite peaceful and relaxing! Can't wait until my next stay.

Lotta Leisure getaway with sister - Wonderful

This property was exactly as described, so we had no disappointments! Everything was clean, in great shape, kitchen was stocked with everything needed. We forgot salt and pepper but the host had thoughtfully provided a spice container as a gift which was just what we needed! We had a lightbulb go bad, but all it took was a phone call and it was promptly replaced. The location was ideal for exploring the entire area between Cayuga Lake and Seneca Lake. We enjoyed a campfire by the lake on those chilly evenings. Thank you for making this property available for our enjoyment!

Beautiful

The yard was smaller than expected and we worried about the drop off and how close the road was with having a 2 and 5 year old. Other than that, we loved the house and the space on the shoreline. Our girls LOVED the water. We had a great time. Thank you!

Wine tour before the semeaster

Nice location for visiting the wineries and breweries. Great access to Cayuga and Seneca lakes. Beach and dock were good. Stairs to beach could be tricky for older people.

Perfect for a Small Group

Our stay at this property was wonderful. We arrived to find the house very clean and well cared for. There were even a few supplies (like toilet paper and paper towels) to get us started. The abundant storage space for both clothing and food was wonderful. Some rentals have nowhere to put your “stuff,” but this house has dressers and empty cabinets in the kitchen. The view is so beautiful. We spent most of our indoor time in the sunroom overlooking the lake. We ate our meals in there and the breeze through the windows was lovely. We also enjoyed a lot of time down by the lake in the provided chairs. We got a lot of good use out of the fire pit. My only caution to future renters is that the shower is very small. Someone who is overweight or pregnant would have a very hard time using it. Overall, we loved the house. It was the perfect spot for us.

Family Retreat

Great location right on the water. Would have been better if it was warmer out. The weather didn’t cooperate. Would definitely stay at this location again.

By Barbara S from Youngstown, New York, Stay: 08/15/2020 - 08/22/2020

Family Retreat

Great property, very clean, just a few steps down to the lake. Love the fire spot right on the lake and the beautiful views, lake in the back and a farm in the front. The cottage is located close to a busier highway, but it wasn’t a big issue. Delicious bakery located just a few minutes down the road. Would stay there again ?

By Malinda C from West Abington Two, Pennsylvania, Stay: 08/10/2020 - 08/14/2020

Family Retreat

The house was very clean and in a nice location . As with other reviewers the shower was small but adequate . The porch was a wonderful area to eat at Overlooking the lake . We really enjoyed the outdoor furniture !! Having a fill bath and a half was really handy with 6 people staying. 

By Dan M from Berkshire, New York, Stay: 07/18/2020 - 07/25/2020

Overall we were very happy with the rental experience. The communication from the rental agency was very good. We like the electronic door lock system. It was easy to use and helped to streamline the checkout process.
