Family Cottage Get-away In The Heart Of Seneca Lake Wine Country - Pet Friendly

This was a great cabin for a getaway! I would recommend an AWD vehicle for the driveway and definitely heed the warning about the steps. It is a LOT of steps. The cabin is very tiny as listed, but for a few adult women it's a good size. It is also in a little cove with about a dozen other houses. Each one is only about 5-10 feet apart, but otherwise the cove is private and would be great for kids to play in. The views are spectacular and the location can't be beat. Definitely plan to bring in your own drinking water and most of your supplies. The owner was very responsive when we had an issue. I would definitely recommend this place for a girl's trip!

Nice place right on the lake! Owners live right next door and make sure alls well without being intrusive!

We enjoyed the peace and quiet and really enjoyed sitting out on the dock and eating outside at the picnic table. Our host and hostess lived right next door, and were very friendly and helpful. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. The photo is the sunrise over the lake from our front door.

This is a simple but comfortable cottage, spectacularly located right on Seneca Lake with its own private dock. There are other homes and people nearby, but everyone seems to respect each other's privacy. A couple of things to be aware of: You need to bring in your own drinking water, and there's a very steep staircase down from the parking area, so probably not the spot for people with mobility issues. But if you want a lovely base where you can enjoy the lake and all of the surrounding activities, it's a great spot! And the hosts, Linda and Nick, were very welcoming and communicative.

Our stay was even better than we were hoping for! The screened in porch lets you be right at the waters edge with no bugs, perfect shade and tranquility. The cabin has everything we needed (including reliable AC and tv if the kiddos insist on some screen time because they don’t know any better). The dock is inviting and safe (even for kids) has plenty of room for both relaxing and jumping in. The hosts make you feel like family, we would absolutely go back!

There is nothing fancy or extravagant about this cabin but it was just right for what we wanted. We were in town for the Ironman Traithaon and we wanted a simple place to stay by Lake Seneca. For the price we paid, it was perfect as we were only 30 mins away from Geneva, the race location.3 adults stayed and it was comfortable. Bathroom was a little tiny but we managed. Property was well situated right on Lake Seneca with an amazing dock. We would jump in the lake every morning to go for a swim. The firepit lake side was also a hit for us. We rented kayaks from Reagan’s and they delivered them to the cabin. Lots of vineyards on the main road to visit and Watkins Glen was conveniently only 15 mins away. The hosts were gracious and very kind. Linda was always responsive to my questions and Nick was always way too kind to us especially on our last day. Because we were in town for the triathalon and had a lot of equipment, he helped us navigate the one negative thing about the property, the 40 stairs to the parking spot (lol). He was gracious enough to drive our equipment up to our car - a blessing! Lake Seneca is an amazing area. It’s even better to enjoy it with a cozy cabin literally right on the lake!

Thank you so much for the hospitality. We absolutely loved it!

Nice cottage. Lots of quiet time and peace. Grilled out a lot. Nice lawn and dock. Very serene and restful .

Our family of 4, with a teen and a tween, had a great week at this cozy cottage with a dock on a picturesque cove. Reminds me of the fishing cottages my parents took us to- just what you need, collected over time by people who’ve loved the cottage over a couple of generations, and have the Tupperware, games, and fishing themed lamps to show for it. It has the amenities you need for a comfortable stay- AC and internet for WFH on for humid days, lots of screens and a fan for cool nights. The kitchen has all the basics and a gas grill outside. Note that you need to bring drinking water! Good hot water in the shower- which is a squeeze for 6ft tall folks, but fine. Screen porch is great 24/7. Bring a sunshade for the yard- ours was useful for drizzly days too. The lake has lots of seaweed and greenery growing in the shallows- we rented paddle boards to go out and swim in the deeper water, not braving the seaweed forest around the dock. The cottage is one of several small “vintage” cottages in a row along this shore, and the owners and their sweet small dog are right next door. They are friendly and helpful and respectful, very lovely neighbors! tho’ it could be too close for vacationers that want to feel out there on their own. The steps are steep to the parking area but we were able to do a quick unload on arrival, into a wheelbarrow on the cottage level lawn. We would return prepared with our sunshade and paddle boards!

Wonderful quaint cottage that has everything you need to enjoy a quiet and relaxing time while being a short drive to Watkins for anything else you may need.
