Welcome to Peace of Haven ~ This cozy cottage offers you peace and serenity! Sit back and enjoy the view of the lake while having a cup of coffee or glass of wine, read a book and lounge in one of our cushioned loungers. The coziness of the home can't be expressed through the pictures - it truly is a little piece of heaven as soon as you enter the home and you feel the tension of life fade away.

Mesmerizing sunrise pours into your bedroom window with the gift of a new day. Spend your day relaxing with a book, kayaking, fishing, exploring the many amenities of the area including winery, brewery & cheese tours, shopping, walking the Glen, hiking & biking trails, skiing, golfing, enjoy the casino, Watkins Glen Raceway and a variety of restaurants.

Wind back down from the day to enjoy dinner from the grill and dining on the deck overlooking the lake. Head down to the beach by the lake for a crackling fire in the pit to wrap up the day. As the sun sets, experience the moon dancing on the lake and the serene feel of the lake lightly crashing along the shore.

As soon as you turn down our private lane, you'll transition to the feeling of peacefulness. The cottage is on a dead end street limiting traffic to the locals. There is plenty of parking that can accommodate up to six cars. Easy access to the cottage with a level lot makes unpacking a breeze. Upon entering the cottage, you'll feel the warmth and coziness of the home with lake views and a bright open floor plan.

A full pantry is available for your personal food. Dining area includes room for 6 or serve dinner on the deck while enjoying the amazing lake view. The living room is spacious and has comfortable seating. On a cold winter's night, cozy up in the rocker, turn on the fireplace and watch the snow gently falling over the lake offering an entirely new experience!

Head down to the beach and enjoy some fishing off the dock, take a swim to cool off, sit around the fire pit, play a few yard games or just grab a lounger and soak up the sun.

Our home offers high speed internet, satellite TV, television in the master bedroom & streaming TV in the living room, fully stocked kitchen, grill, yard games, corn hole, board games, puzzles, a small library of books, DVD's & VHS's, 2 kayaks w/life vests, small variety of swimming floats.

You will absolutely love enjoying some down time at our cottage ~

    Perfect birthday on the Lake!What a wonderful way to celebrate my March birthday! My husband and I and our two pups have been to the Finger Lakes several times but this was our first time on the lake, and we loved it! The cottage is so clean, charming, and lovingly decorated. We’ve never been a rental that was so well equipped. Host Nancy has provided everything you could ever want or need … and then some. She quickly responds to any questions. Evenings spent around the fireplace made the cozy cottage even cozier. We’re already planning a return trip.

    We had a wonderful stay! The place was great and had everything we needed to relax and have fun. It was especially perfect for our trip with two kids — they had a great time and we felt very comfortable the entire stay.We especially loved the kayaks — they really made the experience even more special. Being able to get out on the water added so much to our trip and created some of our favorite moments.The space was clean, well-equipped, and made for an easy, enjoyable getaway. We would definitely come back!

    5 stars are not enough! This cottage is fantastic, and Nancy is a pleasure to work with. The mud room as you walk in is exactly what's needed (big enough, no wasted space). The main area is open, with a counter/cabinet island separating the kitchen from the LR. Decor is contemporary and well maintained. All the appliances, cookware and servingware you need. The pantry is huge. The kitchen table is large. The LR is sizeable with 2 sofas, 2 chairs and a nice coffee table. Smart TV is large and has streaming options. WiFi connects easily and is strong. The heat worked great throughout the house, even in single digit outdoor temps. A gas fireplace added heat and was nice to look at. The east-facing side of the house (LR and 1 BR) offers awesome views of Seneca Lake. You can't control the weather, but our Friday morning was a Top 10 sunrise we were so grateful to watch with coffee before making breakfast. The BRs are nicely decorated and beds are firm w/plush-tops. There is a bathroom between the BRs, and a second bathroom in the back of the cottage (the side away from the lake and closer to the road). Maybe more than any other feature, this back room really impressed us. The house is dog friendly, and Nancy has it prepped for them as much as for humans. Blankets, bowls, toys and space in back room for 2 large dog crates near the washer/dryer. We took the pups to some wineries and felt fine leaving them home for others. VRBO doesn't give enough space to gush enough!!

    We had a wonderful stay here over Christmas. Check-in was easy and the house looked great. They put up Christmas decorations all through the house, including stockings on the fireplace and even a tree! The view out the living room and bedroom windows is amazing. We had some sunrises that were simply jaw-dropping. Even with weather in the single digits, the house was warm and comfortable. For our family of four, it would have been nice to have a third bedroom, but our oldest was perfectly comfortable on the pull-out couch, with automated blackout curtains keeping it plenty dark for him to sleep in. It would be perfect for one or two couples looking to explore the Finger Lakes. Thank you, Nancy, for a wonderful stay!

    From the minute we walked in we were relaxed for a Thanksgiving long weekend. The views are amazing. This was the coziest well stocked dog friendly house I’ve stayed in. Owner thinks of everything. I mean everything. We lit the flame less candles every night. Great dishes and cookware. Our 2 Boxer dogs had plenty of room to spread out. I could go on and on about how special this little place is. Communication was flawless, instructions for everything. Just an amazing stay

    This is a very charming house and location. The lake view is beautiful, from outdoors and indoors as well. The property owner was very responsive and checked in to ensure we arrived and gave us contacts if needed. Very clean, nice yards, with a nice deck to sit and have breakfast and dinner to enjoy the lake. The dock has a sitting area, which is nice. We unfortunately did not have enough time but did want to use the kayaks that tge owner makes available. I woukd highly recommend this to anyone traveling to the area.

    Beautiful property, gorgeous view, loved the livingroom, bedrooms, kitchen area, deck. We had everything we needed. Very pet friendly and welcoming to our dog.We could not access the kayaks because the locks are corroded, so could not get out on the water, so I wish I had known to bring my paddleboard. Also, despite detailed instructions, the tv in the main bedroom did not have connectivity, had no signal error. There were no additional trash bags, so we were glad we brought our own.Overall, great place, we would stay there again if those tweaks were addressed.

    We had an absolutely incredible stay at this fantastic cottage and can’t recommend it highly enough! From start to finish, the communication with the host was exceptional—she was so gracious, welcoming, and went out of her way to accommodate even our smaller, special needs. Her thoughtfulness shone through in every detail, with special touches throughout the house that truly made our stay unforgettable. The location is unbeatable, nestled right in the middle of Seneca Lake, making it the perfect home base for exploring the area. And when we came back in the evenings, the quiet neighborhood felt like a tranquil sanctuary—a perfect retreat to recharge. The house itself is stunning, with breathtaking views that can’t be overstated. Waking up to those sunrises from the huge windows in the living room and primary bedroom was a daily highlight. The heated bathroom floors were another unexpected luxury, making mornings so much cozier. We also appreciated the clear and helpful instructions throughout the house—they made everything easy and stress-free. It’s clear the host has thought of everything to make guests feel welcome and comfortable. If you’re looking for a stay that combines thoughtful hospitality, stunning views, and a peaceful location, this is the place to book!

    The property is a nice cabin on Seneca Lake. It is comfortable for four but would be suitable for six. We went in the wintertime so we could only imagine how much fun it would be in the summer! The cabin was clean and kitchen was well-stocked with basic cooking supplies. It also other amenities such as has a washer & dryer, and pet beds. We're thinking of going back in the summer.
