About this cabin rental
Wake up to beautiful scenery and the serenity of lapping waves, at Seneca Secrets on Seneca Lake, in beautiful upstate New York, 35 minutes outside of Ithaca.
Seneca Secrets is located off of Rt 414, the main road that goes around Seneca Lake, 5 minutes from Watkins Glen. The cabin is located in the heart of the Seneca Lake Wine Trail, overlooking the lake. You can see the lake from our living room, with an amazing view from the deck!
The cottage is completely furnished including dishes, silverware, coffee maker, pots and pans.
Step outside the cottage and enjoy a picnic, a relaxing swim, or take a short drive and minutes away you will find that Seneca Secrets is surrounded by wineries, restaurants, waterfalls and the National Forest, great for biking & hiking. There is also a rustic fire pit for roasting marshmallows.
Seneca Secrets includes a private beach on the property, just follow the stairs down to the water (just past our firepit)! Please note, the walkway to the beach has uneven shale. Enjoy our private beach area. You will see, "4297 Beach" signs, as you go down to the water.
There are 2 docks, down by the water for you to sit and relax, but please note, we do not allow any type of boat/jet ski to be tied up to either one (see Rental Agreement Rules & Policies).
We have 2 kayaks, down by the water, for your use, please ensure wear the life jackets provided.
We are well off the main road and do have parking for a boat trailer if needed (please ask where to park boat trailer and be good at K Turns). There are other people that own property on the road, so it is important to ask us where you can park your trailer.
Seneca Lake offers great swimming, boating, fishing, water sports, sun, and breathtaking sunsets. We are ideally located in the heart of New York State's Finger Lakes, just minutes away from the area's premier vineyards, restaurants and local towns such as Penn Yan, Geneva, or Watkins Glen.
Whether you are looking for a long weekend with family and friends, or a romantic getaway, Seneca Secrets offers a tranquil setting after a day on the water or a quiet retreat after an all-day outing.
Please note, we have a sloping gravel/shale driveway that requires all-wheel or 4WD drive. There are water runoff bumps down our driveway, so you will want to drive under 10 MPH.
We look forward to having you stay at our cabin!

Another great visit 4th year in a row. Can’t beat the views of the lake and nature. Hope to be back soon!

Was private. There were no lights to feel safe .Cabin needs updates. Lake view and deck were awesome. Need to add safety to property, lighting,on all levels, not the deck.Cliff on third level needs safety rail.For dogs and children. Stairs on both levels need to be updated. But it was a good area.

We had a great stay! Very close to Watkins Glen (less than 10 mins). There is a walmart very close, and tons of breweries and restraunts! The internet was very fast as well so we could stream. The deck is amazing...best part of the house! House was very clean, which we appreciated.Just some FYI's (not a negative, but things I'd want to know before booking): no TV's in either bedroom, the house is above the lake so there is a steep drop off that you don't see right away in front of the deck (in case you have dogs or kids), shower is very small (it was clean), and there is a house directly next door ( you basically share a front yard)- there was no one there when we stayed so did not have any issues, but it would have been a little awkward if someone was there. Also, make sure you have a truck or 4wheel drive-the driveway is steep.Overall our stay was great, and couldn't have asked for a better view or location! :)

Positives. Location and view, responses from Stacy. Negatives. Stated it had a dock, but could not tie a boat to it. Water supply came straight from the lake. No washer & Dryer. No smoke alarm. Beam into kitchen is 6’1”. I’m 6’3”. OUCH.
Blame myself for negatives. Should have asked more questions before I booked, just took for granted what I have come to expect from VRBO
