About this cabin rental

Explore all the Finger Lakes has to offer at Etal! Latin meaning "and others," Etal is located just minutes from Watkins Glen, and a short drive to Ithaca. This lovely quintessential cabin in the woods features fantastic Seneca Lake views and level lakefront. Offering accommodations for a group of 9, Etal offers three bedrooms, a loft and bunk house. Inside, beautiful knotty pine hugs both the walls and ceilings throughout Etal. The entry level layout flows freely from one room to the next with large windows and sliding glass doors accenting the lake views from the distance. Once in the kitchen, tall white custom cabinets hold all the cooking and baking ware your group of travelers could need for preparing your favorite meals. Granite countertops and stone backsplash add a special decorative touch to an already well-designed room. Being a seasonal home, dinning is done alfresco on the lakeside deck. A small table top inside acts as a breakfast bistro, or game table for two. The living room provides a cozy retreat any time of day. The Cozy blue sofas welcome you with comfortable seating for a cup of coffee to start your day, or a glass of Finger Lakes wine to end the night with. Completing the entry level, you'll find one of the three private bedrooms and the full bath. The lower level features the third private bedroom and half bath. All beds have ** NEW MATTRESSES**.

Great property, will stay again
10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2026
Our cabin stay was just what we were looking for! We loved the setting and that we had access to the water and dock. They provided so many amenities to use on or in the water and things were well organized and labeled. We really appreciated that. The cabin was very clean. The kitchen and the bathroom were great and had everything we needed (just make sure to bring your own beach towels). We thought it was a really lovely space. The hot tub was delightful! Communication with the host was efficient. We really loved our stay here and don't have any complaints.

Will be back, don't hesitate, just lovely. Can't beat Seneca and Cayuga waterfronts for your dollar, just the best, and this one's fantastic.
6 / 10Average·Aug 2023
The property was perfectly situated on Seneca Lake and access to the house was uncomplicated. While we enjoyed our time there, the bathroom, and in particular the shower, seemed as if it hadn't been cleaned in a very long time. Obvious cleaning tasks such as removing the last inhabitant's ball of hair from the drain weren't done. The outdoor shower ended up more preferable. While I fully understand this cabin is smack in the middle of the woods, there were a sizeable amount of well-established and old cobwebs in every room and a few sightings of cockroaches in the morning in the kitchen. Outside of these problems that seem easily remedied for someone else in the future, we loved the property.
