About this property

3's a Charm - Relax after wine touring, sightseeing & shopping

Tucked away at the edge of downtown near the water, Trinity Lane Carriage House overlooks the Seneca River and Trinity Chapel.

Don't let the rustic entrance fool you, comfort awaits at the top of the stairs in the spacious loft.(This is an old carriage house, with the original stairs. Eight steps to a landing and eight more steps to the door.)

Walk to dinner and enjoy a leisurely stroll back to relax on the porch.

Take a morning stroll along the river with your cup of coffee. Or, pick up a cup downtown or Cafe IXX(across the river). You'll need to drive for Dunkin Donuts, 3/4 mile.

Watch the sun rise from the porch or dining table.

Whether a personal retreat, gals/guys weekend, couple's get-a-way or family vacation, a GREAT PLACE TO LAND after a day of fun.

Whether relaxing in one of the recliners, lounging on the sofa, cooking in the kitchen, or sitting at the dining table, the open floor plan allows everyone to socialize with each other.

Nice 3 night stay

Very nice, clean, and comfortable - especially the spacious kitchen and living room area. Located close and within walking distance to the restaurants and activities within town. Property manager contacted us once we arrived to ensure we were comfortable and whether we needed any assistance. If given the need, we would stay in 3's A Charm again -

Perfect Location

This property was perfect for our five day stay in the Finger Lakes region. We were able to easily drive to wineries and restaurants on both Lake Cayuga and Lake Seneca. The unit was very clean and well-maintained. It was so well-appointed with everything we needed. Irene is extremely easy to contact and very helpful and accommodating.

History Nerds’ Dream

We came to the area for a wedding on Lake Cayuga but nerded out before the wedding at the Women’s Rights National Historic Park. Like the Freedom Trail in Boston, there are multiple sites in the area to visit and hear National Park Ringer talks and to see exhibits about the 1848 convention that catapulted the Women’s Rights movement. The apartment was in a perfect location to walk to the Elizabeth Cady Stanton home, the Wesleyan Chapel, and the Visitors’ Center.

Fantastic location - HIGHLY recommend

I wanted for nothing. It is a GREAT location with a 2-minute walk to town. Beautiful nature across a very quiet street...the canal, greenery, and a fantastic stone church. Washer/dryer were such a boon because I am traveling and on the road for a while. I found everything I needed in the full kitchen and bathroom...plus, it's unique. It's a carriage house!! The stairs are steep - yes - but if you are mobile and used to taking stairs, they are not a problem at all (plus, they smell like old wood, which is wonderful). I was here during a very intense heat wave. The owner left the AC on for my arrival, so when I arrived after a long day, it was a great relief to have the house nice and cooled down. Definitely get to Seneca Falls and get ensconced in the women's movement...Amelia Bloomer, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott...you will love it!! And when you visit, stay here!!

Lovely!!

We enjoyed our stay at the Carraige House. Irene was so pleasant and caring about our comfort. The rooms were well stocked with everything we might need and then some. The bed was comfortable and the stairs although old were manageable for my husband and I and we are in our early 70's. We would definitely stay again when in the area. Thank you Irene!

Quiet stay in pretty corner of Seneca Falls

Overall lovely and quiet stay. Entire flat was pretty clean, clean linens & towels, etc. Stairs are narrow, so consider this in what type of bag/ luggage you pack. There are also 6 additional steps to the front door on the porch before the additional 16 inside the door to the actual flat.

Nice Historic Property in Seneca Falls

This was our first trip to the Finger Lakes area and Seneca Falls was the first stop on our journey. Much as we liked the overall area, there isn't that much to do in Seneca Falls per se, but it is a good jumping off point for Seneca and Cayuga lakes. That said, "3s a Charm" provided comfortable digs for the 3 nights we stayed. The location is great...walkable to Cafe XIX (great coffee and breakfast), as well as the Women's Rights National Historical Park. Communication with Irene was terrific, and check-in was also very straightforward. The kitchen is well-provisioned, as is the rest of the apartment and having a washer/dryer was truly appreciated. There is a steep and narrow flight of stairs to reach the apartment. We did hear early morning traffic (mostly large trucks) during the work week. We found the bedroom to be a bit dark, but it is more spacious than it appears to be in the photos. The bathroom has everything you need and the shower has great water pressure, with plenty of hot water. If you have chemical sensitivities, you may not like the strong smell of Febreze in the downstairs entry way, but it doesn't persist into the apartment.

We enjoyed our stay but left two chargers behind. The host is trying to send them to us but doesn't know our address. Could you help us. She called us, since VRBO wouldn’t let us call her. She kindly sent us the chargers. The host turned out to be splendid.

Weekend Wedding Stay

My girlfriend and I stayed here for two nights as we had a friends wedding to attend. The house was very clean and comfortable. Plenty of space to hang up our clothes and right on the water for a nice view. Parking was very nice and backing out onto the street was never an issue. Close to town and easily walkable to everything around. This would be a great stay for those interested in exploring the finger lakes as we did some hiking in the morning before the wedding and before leaving.
