A rare find on sparkling Seneca Lake! Located on a large grassy point just three miles north of Watkins Glen, you will enjoy a large natural wade-in beach front, New York's third largest waterfalls nearby, and a spacious yard. A long private drive shields you from all traffic above - ideal for families with children! Whether it is from the soft distant sound of the falls, the lapping of the lake, or the breeze in the leaves, relaxation mode sets in almost immediately! ****See our website for many more photos and helpful links. The link to it is below, beyond "rates" and under the availability calendar.****
Amenities:
A large, screened-in porch running the length of the cottage has an eagle view of the lake and the beach directly in front. It is perfect for reading, dining, playing board games, or watching the kids play on the shore or the point. Inside find a cozy living room/dining room, three downstairs bedrooms, kitchen and bath. Full-size washer and dryer, and extra refrigerator are in the attached shed off the kitchen, where stairs lead to an attic loft and more beds.
* Downstairs bedrooms: one queen, two twins, two bunkbeds.
* Upstairs: one double, two twins.
All beds have mattress pads, pillows, blankets, and comforters. Guests bring their own linens unless otherwise arranged.
Kitchen is fully equipped, much of the furniture is new. For your outside enjoyment find ample seating, a large dock, picnic table, beach bonfire pit, and plenty of lawn space for games.
Lazy, sunny summer days abound, but rainy days can be welcome too! The cottage lends itself to old-fashioned fun: board games, cards, books... it has been the site of more than one kids' fort built from towels, and has hosted many a kids' play! But it also has a TV, DVD/VCR, children's movies, and books and board games for kids and adults.
Want to arrange for linens, or arrive at a cottage stocked with groceries per your custom list? Ask about our concierge service at a very reasonable rate!
