This new apartment on Cayuga Lake is in the middle of New York's famous Finger Lakes. Seneca Falls is a quaint, quiet community surrounded by dozens of wineries, scenic trails, parks, boating, fishing - a vacation paradise, and home to the National Women's Hall of Fame. Your private deck overlooks the lake, plus there's a shared pool (open Memorial Day through Labor Day), deck and grill. 2 bedrooms, full tiled bath, huge modern kitchen, and hi-def TVs in the living room and bedrooms w/free Prime Video, Hulu & Disney+.
Other things to note
1. The apartment is on the second floor and the pool deck is four steps up, so neither is handicapped-accessible.
2. The pool is open Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend. If weather is exceptionally warm it may open earlier or close later, but no guarantees!
3. When we began hosting in July 2019 we used a great company, Evolve Vacation Rentals. They got us started, including posting our rental on VRBO and other sites. We've since cut the Evolve cord and are now dealing with VRBO directly.
The downside of the switch is that VRBO considers this a brand new listing, so none of our reviews for 2019 and 2020 (all 5 stars!) migrated over from Evolve. I've copied them below with no editing, just as they were written.
Thanks, Scott (& Peggy)

This place is GORGEOUS & SPOTLESS! The views of the lake are beautiful and calming. The owners couldn't have been any nicer and accommodating.

What an amazing property, view and living space. Every morning we could see the sun shining right off the front balcony, hence the diamonds. Pool was ALWAYS available for swimming, which for the 4 & 8 y/o meant the most important part of the trip. The finishing touches in the house were impeccable and the owner was always a text away ready to assist if/when able. Definitely looking forward to a return trip.

The property was beautiful and lake front. The owners were very sweet and went above and beyond especially when we found out the day before the trip the pool had sprung a leak so we were not able to use it. They worked very diligently to try and fix it before we left. Super clean and absolutely beautiful place to stay!

I stayed here with a couple friends. The property is beautiful and very convenient to everything we wanted. Walkable to a restaurant on the water. The owner was very accommodating and available if we needed anything. It was certainly a great find!

Property was exceptional overall. Impeccably decorated with modern furnishings and appliances. You can tell owners have attempted to cover all the bases when it comes to any single creature comfort you may desire on your stay. There are 3 smart TVs which have several apps such as Hula and Netflix pre-installed so you would have no problem finding something to watch. Kitchen has any type of accessory you could possibly need...blenders, mixers, keurig..even an air fryer. Many nicer than the ones I have in my own home. Kitchen is open, granite tops and very functional and leads to a deck which has a beautiful view of the lake to enjoy. The pool outside is pretty much your own to enjoy. They had several floats for us to use. Owners are very humble, gracious and accommodating. They are available if you need them but are pretty much invisible for the most part. You can tell they take personal pride and desire to provide a perfect stay which is heartfelt and not based on money or fear of a bad review. You have to take a short walk to the lake but it is peaceful and serene. At the lakeside there are 3 Adirondack chairs and a fire pit. My daughter wanted to make smores and to my surprise the owner had a water proof container with newspaper,kindling wood, and lighter. There was also plenty of free firewood to enjoy as well. Doesn't seem like much but when on vacation especially short 3 day stay like ours you don't need hassle of going to the store to get things you may have not had for-site to bring. As far as location there is a real cool restaurant within walking distance. We only had take out because of Covid but it looked like it would be a blast in the summertime. Would highly recommend this property for your stay. Owner wanted me to come up with something which would make the stay better and as much as I wished to honor his request I couldn't come up with anything. Book it now-you won't be disappointed!!!!

We had a wonderful time staying in this apartment. The views are beautiful & we loved how close it was to many breweries & wineries! Must try Deerhead Lakeside Restaurant less than a mile up the road!

This property was clean, nicely finished and everything we needed was provided. The owner was available and accommodating but unless we needed something, we never knew they were there. We will go back.

We were very impressed with this new apartment which was immaculately clean and beautifully done. They thought of every last detail to make it a comfortable place to stay; from Tupperware to extra blankets and games. The apartment has a beautiful view of the lake and you can walk down the driveway across a very quiet road to sit by the lake. We understand beds are very subject but they were a little too soft for us. This was the only thing that could have made the stay more comfortable for us, but I am a high maintenance sleeper! The owners were very nice and waved hello in the driveway and made sure we had everything we needed. We have been coming to the Finger Lakes annually for over a decade and have struggled to find “our spot” but I think this is it! I would really love to come back here so I am hoping everyone else takes good care of this place! Thank you again!

This beautifully appointed apartment is spacious and immaculate. The view of Cayuga Lake is a definite plus as well as the seating by the lake and access to the pool. The modern kitchen is well stocked and having a washer and dryer was very helpful. The furniture is very comfortable and the three Roku tv’s were enjoyable. Peggy and Scott are very pleasant hosts that provided us with great info on the surrounding area. This is a perfect location to explore the Finger Lake region!

The apartment was quiet, clean, and comfortable. The host was very communicative, e.g. telling us when the pool was going to be briefly closed for cleaning. The kitchen is well-equipped. There are two restaurants nearby, although groceries, etc. require driving into town.

We stayed with 2 kids under 12. The apartment is gorgeous, spotless and fully appointed. Evening swims in the pool and morning lake views with our coffee were just what we needed. Owners are very sweet, as is the location. This will be the first property we check when we are in the area again.

This location is a gem in the Finger Lakes district! This beautiful 2 bedroom apartment is very spacious and immaculate with wonderful modern amenities and is beautifully decorated. The balcony over looks Cayuga Lake and the beautiful sunrises! The pool was so refreshing since the weather was so hot and sunny! Scott was a great host who was able to tell us about the area, the local restaurants (Wolffy's was great fun!), and attractions! We look forward to our return again next year! Thanks Scott and Peggy, you have a beautiful and Welcoming place! Norma & Dale, Cathy & Bill
