Located minutes from downtown historic Seneca Falls, the Petit Retreat might just be the cutest cottage on Cayuga Lake! Ideal for a couple’s getaway or a family of four, this little gem runs right along the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail. When you arrive, you will be drawn to the brand-new deck overlooking the lake, a perfect spot to enjoy a bottle of complimentary Finger Lakes wine and toast to the beginning of your getaway!
Once inside this cozy retreat, all your cares will wash away. The floor plan design is perfectly planned out for maximizing space! With the lake shining through the windows, you’ll have great views from every angle of this cottage.
An open modern galley kitchen offers all the cookware needed for a perfect meal created from local ingredients. Off the kitchen, the living and dining area are equally as lovely and comfortable. You can settle in either of the bedrooms, one a king and the other a queen, each with their own bathroom. There are two outdoor decks and a Florida porch, all of which are conducive to Finger Lakes Dreaming.
Now about this lake. It is rumored, and we believe it might be true, that right off your own 25 foot private dock is the best swimming spot on the whole lake! Sunset paddle anyone? The Petit Retreat offers two single kayaks exclusively for your use to enjoy the clear and calm Cayuga Lake. The dock also comes equipped with cleats from which you can moor your small craft.
Among the many indoor amenities include two Smart TV’s, family favorite board games, a Wifi speaker for enjoying your own playlists and even an acoustic guitar for those musicians among you.
Should you decide to leave the Retreat, about a half mile down the road is the Cayuga Lake State Park, which is known for amazing birding, fishing and swimming. The park includes a boat launch, swimming beach and playground. Afterwards be sure to swing by local favorite Wolfy’s Grill and Marina for a Finger Lakes craft beer and their famous Bang Bang Shrimp!
Historic Seneca Falls is also a town fit for foodies. A list of local recommendations are available in the cottage guest book, including some delicious finds in other neighboring towns. A bonus if you are in the mood, you will not be far from the Waterloo Outlet Mall and the Lago Casino and Resort.

By Christopher W, Stay: 08/09/2022 - 08/13/2022Terrific Lake Stay!
Beautiful cabin right on the water. Accommodations were well appointed and very comfortable, and also located very near towns with everything one might need. Cannot recommend this particular cabin highly enough.
By Leah from Fairview, Pennsylvania, Stay: 06/29/2022 - 07/02/2022Darling Property, a little challenging using the lower level bedroom
Charming cottage! Very clean with a beautiful view of the lake. Our only issue was accessing the lower-level bedroom. My husband is 6'3" and he did not like ducking to that degree going to bed at night. Your listing should probably note that It is not a good fit for tall people. This was our only issue with the cottage.
Thank you very much for taking the time to rate your experience at our rental. We encourage people (especially taller ones) to access the master bedroom by using the walkway to the side of the house and then going in directly through the basement. This way, you don't have to deal with the stairs at all. We are thrilled to see that you enjoyed a wonderful stay with us! We hope to host you at the lake again soon!

By Krista from Manahawkin, New Jersey, Stay: 06/19/2022 - 06/22/2022Peace and Tranquillity!
Loved our recent stay at Petite Retreat. It is a small house, but it doesn’t feel small! Spent most of my time there on the screened in porch. So relaxing with my morning coffee and happy hour cocktail! We were lucky to not have any neighbors during our stay so we had a lot of privacy when outside as the houses are very close together. The house is beautifully decorated, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was well equipped for having meals at home. There are not a lot of options close by for groceries or takeout which was a little annoying. Stopped at some great wineries/breweries a short drive from the house. It was so nice to be able to use the kayaks and life preservers at the house. Everything was in great condition. Bumped our heads more than a couple of times on our way down to the master bedroom, but that was a small price to pay for such a lovely stay! Master bedroom was also a little on the damp side, but I definitely wouldn’t let that deter you. Everything else about the place makes up for it!!

The property and amenities were wonderful. For those looking to enjoy the wineries be warned, almost everything closes around 5PM.
Thank you for the 5 star rating. We are happy to see that you enjoyed your stay and we hope to host you again soon.

By Lesley from Van Etten, New York, Stay: 05/20/2022 - 05/23/2022Great stay and beautiful property right on the lake
We had a great time at the petite retreat. Great accommodations and very clean with perfect lake views and location. We missed not having a dock for our boat but we’re able to park our boat and trailer at the state park less then a 1/4 mile from the house and launch every day. But other then that this place had all the amenities that we wanted and really did not need to bring that much extra supplies with us. My husband and our friends enjoyed fishing right off the deck and caught quite a few bass. It was a beautiful weekend! I would definitely stay there again!
Lesley, Thank you so much for leaving such a nice review. You will be happy to know that the owner of this home just had a dock built at this rental. So for any future stays all guests will have use of that dock.
