About Interlaken

Tucked neatly between Cayuga and Seneca lakes, Interlaken is a peaceful Finger Lakes village of around 600 residents. Originally called Farmer Village, the community took on the name Interlaken in the early 1900s as a nod to the Swiss town set between two waters. Today, it serves as a quiet rural hub surrounded by rolling farmland, orchards, and scenic open countryside.

Daily life centers around a historic Main Street with a welcoming public library, small local businesses, and neighborhood spots like Water Tower Park. You are just a short drive from boat launches, hiking trails, and the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail. The village pairs the relaxed feel of a tight-knit country community with an easy half-hour commute into Ithaca or Geneva, making it an appealing option for anyone looking for space and quiet in the heart of the region.
