The Trottage: Modern 2 Bedroom Seneca Lake Home

Escape to the tranquil shores of Seneca Lake at The Trottage, a newly built resort-style cabin perfect for families and travelers of all ages. This charming cabin offers minimal stairs, a level yard, and easy lake access via a concrete ramp, making it an ideal lakeside retreat.

Parking for three vehicles is conveniently located just across the driveway. A covered porch at the entrance is furnished with wicker patio furniture and provides a front-row view of the lake—a perfect spot for morning coffee or evening relaxation.

Inside, the open great room features vaulted ceilings, knotty pine walls, and a row of windows facing the lake. The small kitchen is equipped with new appliances for basic meal preparation, and the dining table with seating for four allows you to enjoy every meal with stunning water views. A full bathroom is conveniently located off the kitchen.

The cabin sleeps six guests with two bedrooms. The lakeside bedroom offers a double bed and direct access to the full bathroom. The north-end bunk bedroom features four single beds and two flip-down TVs, perfect for kids or groups.

Outside, the lakefront includes multiple dock sections for mooring boats or fishing, along with a concrete ramp for easy water access. Two kayaks are provided for guest enjoyment, and the level lawn is ideal for outdoor games. After a day on the lake or visiting local wineries, unwind in the brand-new five-person hot tub off the deck.

Located just four miles from Dundee, The Trottage offers easy access to groceries, restaurants, and some of the region's best wineries, including Glenora Wine Cellars, Herman J. Wiemer Vineyards, and Starkey's Lookout. The Windmill Farm and Craft Market is just a short drive away and is a favorite destination for local shopping and treats.

With its combination of lakefront convenience, family-friendly features, and relaxing amenities, The Trottage is the perfect Finger Lakes getaway. Book today and start making lasting memories by the water.

Quiet Lake-front property

Small but the outside spaces including lake-front, pier, porch, outside furniture made up for the tight quarters. I missed having a dishwasher and washer/dryer but the hot tub was so nice. So many wineries and breweries near by.

Nice little place right in the lake!

The place is perfect for 2 people and a dog! Great deck, perfect location, nice kayaks to borrow. I would not want more than 2 people in the house as it is small. Neighbors do allow their dogs to run thru, but they are nice people and so we had a great time. We would rent it again!

Cute and Cozy

We stayed here for a girls trip. There were 4 of us (all early 30s). The cottage is very small, but you can't beat the location. It sits about 30 feet back from the lake. The hot tub on the back deck is amazing. The cottage came well stocked with all the necessities. Lots of blankets which made sitting on the deck in November nice and cozy. Would stay here again!

Picture perfect

The view from this property’s covered deck is unparalleled! The cottage itself is small but adequate for our needs. I think the only time we actually spent inside was to sleep! We ate all our meals outside and pretty much spent every waking minute out there. Great find!

So overall is was a nice place. The porch,yard and deck were fabulous. The house was and is way to small for 3 let alone it states it can sleep 8? We were lucky we had good weather so most of our time was spent outside and out and about. Just no real room. The neighbors to the left were loud 2 nights and allowed their dogs to use our yard to do their business twice and bother our dogs. The last 2 nights it was quiet

Great stay close to Watkins Glen

Very clean place right on Lake Seneca for a fall get away. The outside was perfect with a fire pit, hot tub and beautiful flowers everywhere. We spent a lot of time on the porch. Inside was very clean and tidy but like other reviews stated, very tight quarters. It was just two of us so we managed ok. The bed is VERY SMALL especially for those that are used to a king size bed. We used the second bedroom (with the bunkbeds) to store our gear and luggage. All in all, the location was perfect for all the activities we wanted to do.

Beautiful view but not worth the price

The view is amazing but I cannot stress how small the bed is and the shower is dangerously small and we found dirty . Just so you know I am 5 foot tall. It needs major updates and the bed sheets thankfully we brought our own. The bunk beds are extremely small and all of the lighting is just old. The deck is beautiful and the hot tub is nice but they really should lower their nightly rate and watch out for “ host fees”.
