Our Location

The Cupola above Seneca sits high above Seneca Lake and Watkins Glen. Our enviable location is two miles from Watkins Glen State Park, Watkins Glen International Racetrack, as well as numerous restaurants and shopping. We are also a mile from the Glorious-T of Montour Falls and the spectacular Shequaga Falls. Take a stroll through “the T,” stop for coffee and sweets, and take in the impressive scenery or hop onto the Catherine Valley Trail that follows the old Chemung Canal. We are centrally located near the Seneca Lake wine and beer trails on BOTH the west and east sides (25 wineries within 20 mins)! The Keuka Lake and Cayuga Lake wine and beer trails are a short scenic drive away as well. A beautiful drive through the hillside farms brings you to Ithaca in 25 minutes. For shopping and great restaurants, the famous Corning Gaffer District is a 20-minute enjoyable drive to our south.

Our Property

Our circa-1850 Italianate home sits upon over two acres with unobstructed year-round views of Seneca Lake, Finger Lakes National Forest, hillside vineyards, and farms. Relax and indulge in our expansive covered and screened stone veranda taking in all the views while listening to soothing music. Enjoy the multiple outdoor sitting areas, whether by the fire pit, playing a game under 100-year-old pines, or relaxing while listening to babbling Aunt Sarah’s Falls creek on the southern edge of the property. Inside, you will find an elegant yet casual, large living room with floor-to-ceiling windows draped in lush fabric to highlight those lake views. When it gets a bit chilly outdoors, cozy up to the fireplace with a drink. Off the living room, you will find our guest pantry, which includes a fridge and microwave. Enjoy a coffee, hot chocolate, or cup of tea and daily treats. Your sumptuous, generous breakfast to get you through a fun-filled day of sightseeing will be served from 8:00 to 9:00 in our formal dining room, which features two large floor-to-ceiling windows, draped in luxurious period fabrics, looking out over the lake.
