Girl wine weekend
Me and my bestie really enjoyed our stay and plan to come again with our significant others! The house was great. The beach was a perfectly quaint spot to chill and have a nightly fire. Picking seashells in the daytime is a must as well! There were so many places to relax and just unwind the name makes a lotta sense... The fact that there were multiple winerys so close by was the icing on the cake. Thanks for the hospitality.

Wonderful Home
This was the second time we stayed at this home. It was just as wonderful as we remembered, but with a major improvement. We were so happy to see that the shower had been replaced with a larger one. The house is so comfortable and perfect for our family of four. Our favorite part is the enclosed porch where we spent a lot of our time eating and playing games while enjoying a beautiful view of the lake. I expect that we will be back again!

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.
