Description
Experience the ultimate Finger Lakes retreat at The Trottage, a beautiful resort-style cabin nestled along the peaceful western shores of Seneca Lake. This inviting 2-bedroom pet-friendly Finger Lakes vacation rental offers the perfect balance of relaxation and recreation, where comfort meets the natural beauty of New York’s most celebrated wine region. Whether you’re planning a family retreat, a friends’ weekend escape, or a romantic getaway, this charming vacation home provides everything you need for an unforgettable lakefront experience!
From the moment you arrive, you’ll be greeted by a sense of calm and serenity. Parking for up to two vehicles is conveniently located across the driveway, allowing you to easily unload and step right into vacation mode. The covered front porch overlooks Seneca Lake, furnished with cozy wicker seating—an ideal spot to start your day with a steaming cup of coffee or to unwind in the evening as the water reflects the soft glow of sunset. Surrounded by peaceful scenery, you’ll quickly understand why this area is one of the most sought-after destinations in the Finger Lakes region.
Inside, this vacation rental’s open great room captures the essence of lakeside living with its soaring vaulted ceilings, knotty pine interior, and expansive windows framing breathtaking lake views. Natural light floods the space, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at home. The living area is perfect for gathering together after a day on the water—watch a favorite movie, play cards at the dining table, or simply relax as the waves lap gently against the shore.
The fully equipped kitchen features modern appliances, generous counter space, and all the essentials you’ll need to prepare home-cooked meals. Whether you’re making pancakes for breakfast or enjoying local produce and cheese with a bottle of wine from one of the nearby vineyards, the space is designed to make cooking both easy and enjoyable. The dining table, positioned right by the lake-facing windows, allows every meal to come with a view. Off the kitchen, you’ll find a bright full bathroom with a compact shower and tasteful finishes that complement the cabin’s clean, modern aesthetic.
The lake home comfortably sleeps up to six guests across two welcoming bedrooms. The lakeside bedroom offers a plush double bed and direct access to the full bathroom—ideal for guests who prefer single-level living. The second bedroom, located at the north end of the cabin, includes four single bunk beds and two fold-down TVs mounted above the lower bunks, making it the perfect hideaway for kids or guests who want their own space. Every inch of the home has been thoughtfully designed for comfort, convenience, and a touch of charm that reflects the relaxed lifestyle of Seneca Lake and the Finger Lakes.
Step outside and the real magic of this vacation home comes to life. The level lawn stretches gently toward the water, providing plenty of space for outdoor games, lounging in the sunshine, or gathering for a lakeside picnic. Multiple dock sections extend into the water, offering easy opportunities for fishing, mooring your boat, or simply soaking up the peaceful views. A concrete ramp provides effortless access to the lake for swimming, wading, or launching kayaks—no ladder required. Two kayaks are provided for guest use, inviting you to paddle along the shoreline, explore nearby coves, or enjoy the serenity of an early-morning float when the lake is calm and still.
After a day of adventure, relax around the fire pit or unwind in the five-person hot tub located just off the deck. It’s the perfect way to end the evening—watching the stars shimmer over the water as you relax in total comfort. The sound of the waves, the scent of fresh air, and the wide-open sky create a truly restorative atmosphere that captures the spirit of the Finger Lakes.
The Trottage’s prime location makes it easy to explore all that the region has to offer. Just four miles away, the village of Dundee provides grocery stores, gas stations, and local dining options for convenience. You’re also within minutes of some of the Finger Lakes’ most renowned wineries, including Glenora Wine Cellars, Herman J. Wiemer Vineyards, and Starkey’s Lookout. Spend a day touring the Seneca Lake Wine Trail or the Keuka Lake Wine Trail, sampling award-winning wines, or enjoying the panoramic views from one of the region’s many tasting rooms. For a fun weekend outing, head northeast to the Windmill Farm and Craft Market, where you can browse handcrafted goods, fresh produce, and local specialties from dozens of vendors. For outdoor activity enthusiasts, enjoy hiking the gorge trail dotted with waterfalls at Watkins Glen State Park or Buttermilk Falls State Park, spend sunny days fishing for salmon in Cayuga Lake, take a scenic bike ride along Seneca Lake, or head to Ithaca or Rochester for a day trip, touring historic colleges and enjoying the foodie scene.
Whether your ideal vacation involves peaceful mornings by the lake, afternoons spent exploring local wineries, or evenings gathered with loved ones around the water, The Trottage offers a little something for everyone. Designed for comfort, built for relaxation, and perfectly located for adventure, this Finger Lakes vacation rental captures everything that makes the region so special.
