About this cottage rental
Guests tell me the photos don't do the cottage and property justice. Read our reviews. Very private. Clean. Lots of space. Drive down to the beach. The East side of Seneca Lake has lots of sun and beautiful sunsets. 100 foot dock. New windows, doors and mini-split ac/heat. Ten miles from Geneva for shopping, movies, and food. Two Five Star restaurants within 15 miles. Each year we renovate another part of our little cottage and many of our guests and their pets return every year. One bedroom with two double beds and a large living room with one pull out couch can sleep 4. Cottage is 880 square feet so best for 2-4 people. Minimum stay is 3 nights except July and August when we only rent by the week (Saturday 3 pm to Saturday 10 am). Cozy but may be too small for anyone 6 foot 2 or over. New kitchen appliances, cupboards, air conditioning, and microwave. We added a pellet stove for visits in the early spring or late fall for wine tours, an aluminum boat for fishing, a canoe and 2 kayaks for sunsets on the lake. For further information, call or e-mail me. It is a lovely place to relax.
Enjoy the quiet - pets welcome. Guests and their pets return every year. One of the few places with no stairs to the lake. Everyone enjoys swimming in the lake, laying on the dock, visiting the wineries (we have three within 7 miles and a brewery) and local restaurants. Others have ventured to Ithaca, Rochester, and Canandaigua to visit museums, gourmet restaurants, and historic sites. The bedroom is above the lake so when you wake up in the morning, you can see right onto the lake. The kitchen and dining area are on the bottom floor and look right onto the water. There are many places to walk including a two mile hike up to Sampson State Park.
If you need to get away from the stress of your life, this is the place.
Enjoy the Lake: This is NOT for you IF you want a high energy vacation. See the herons land on the dock each evening and the ducklings come by each morning. The waves will rock you to sleep. Swim and kayak during the day. Take out the rowboat to fish. Have beach fires at night and visit our many wonderful wineries, breweries, and restaurants nearby. WIFI but no cable TV (just DVD movies). We suggest you relax and get away. This is truly the country and as our friend Simon says, "They aren't building any more lakes."

Our new favorite place on Seneca Lake. Cindy is a wonderful host that quickly answered all questions prior to arrival, and explained the accommodations and history of the house when we arrived. The property was very clean and well stocked with everything visitors need. We loved the five separate lakeside seating areas so much that we skipped visiting wineries to enjoy this rental. Looking forward to future stays.

Was attending a wedding at a nearby winery and decided to make a week of it by staying at this house on the lake. So glad we did as the weather was unseasonably warm for October. We were able to fully enjoy the outdoor spaces which there are many as well as the kayaks on the water. Great sunset views! The house is comfortable and well appointed with all the kitchen essentials to prepare meals. The living space provides ample seating for entertainment viewing (Roku streaming device included) and there is a table / chairs in that area as well. The location is conveniently located near wineries and several farm markets for supplies. Would stay here again.

We had one of the best vacations in our 45+ years together just being able to travel with our dog huckleberry and to stay in such a wonderfully beautiful setting makes this review not able to live up to how quiet and peaceful it is the place is you wake up right on top of the water we had fairly cold, windy weather the whole time, but it honestly didn’t seem to matter the views from inside the house are almost as beautiful as the views from outside Cindy was so gracious and everything you need to know about the house is inside in her book there is nothing left to chance from the dishes silverware appliances to the gas grill outside in the wonderful fire pit that we only got to use our last night because of the weather very convenient location to tour the wineries and cheese houses and the state park which you can walk to, but we would drive to the back way in just a great place to go for a hike or a walk I can see why people book year after year because you will not find a better place in the finger lakes or perhaps just about anywhere else so we look forward to also coming back next year
