"Journey's End" is truly a one of kind cottage/bungalow that offers a traditional/quaint vacation experience while providing "state of the art" conveniences to the guests.

It is located at the very end of a well maintained access road in a very secluded and private section of Hansen Harbor. "Journey's End" is also conveniently situated smack in the heart of the NYS Wine Belt. Upon your arrival, you will immediately be struck by the the magnificent panoramic view of Seneca Lake at it's widest point.

The cottage has three bedrooms and two full baths, a full kitchen with breakfast bar and a combined living and dining area all of which were constructed to take full advantage of the spectacular lake view. Each of the front bedrooms provide spectacular views of the lake while the rear bedroom looks out into a raised flower garden and wooded ravine.

Just a mere four steps down to the beach and your ready to swim, sunbathe, fish, kayak, you name it! This property boasts 90 feet of some of the most level and pristine beach frontage in the area. Perfect for launching one of the properties kayaks, rowboat or paddle boat. Ideal for family's with small children.

At night... bonfires on the beach! A traditional beach fire pit at waters edge, great for roasting marshmallows, telling ghost stories or just enjoying a romantic evening by the water.

Perhaps beach activities aren't your cup of tea. Well then... you can pack up your radio and suntan lotion and take a stroll out to the end of the 100 foot aluminum dock. Now here... you will truly experience a breathtaking view and be able to totally relax surrounded by the serenity and calm of the wind, sun and water. Is that glorious sunshine making things a little warm? Take a dive off the dock (purposely constructed low to the water) for a refreshing dip in the crystal clear water, where the water depth is a comfortable five foot (average seasonal depth at the end of the dock is approximately five feet, but can vary depending on amount of rainfall during the rental season).

Or Maybe you just wanna kickback in one of the eucalyptus Adirondack chairs under the shade of the covered deck for an afternoon snooze. Or catch up on a good book, while enjoying a glass of one of the area's world famous wines produced, literally, just down the road.

Whatever your preference, we are confident that "Journey's End" will provide you with a most enjoyable and memorable vacation experience!

  • Dear Roseann and Ed, We loved it here so much that we returned- this year we had a seafood lovers weekend- clams, lobster, shrimp, chowder and crab, etc. We settled in quickly because we knew the lay of the land. We weren’t here an hour and a lake storm blew in, tossing two deck chairs into the lake to drift several cottages down- we retrieved them after the storm. This year there were neighbors on both sides of us-very nice young people-we had some laughs and shared our food and drink with some of them. P.S. The lobster t-shirts were a big hit-(Cindy hand painted on for each of us-we looked great!) Looking forward to a return visit- So many laughs our sides are aching! Thanks so much- The Honeoye Crew Lynn and Carolyn Gorton Lori White and Tom Gendreau Guy and Cindy Ward

  • 10/13-10/15, 2007 Truly a wonderful vacation home! Your cottage totally surpassed our expectations! It was unbelievably clean, comfortable and inviting! Every need of your guests have been considered and met. From games to books to the extremely well stocked cottage kitchen..."Journey's End" has so much to offer families and couples. I would defintely recommend this cottage to my friends and to my customers at "OWNER DIRECT" and "ITRAVEX". Hopefully, we will be able to make a return visit during the peak season, so we can take advantage of the inviting beach and waterfront, kayaks and paddle boat. A barbeque at sunset must be a beautiful experience! Thank You! Nikki Fleury Deb McCann

  • We had no idea what to expect of this area. To me it is a magical/majestic place that I don’t have a handle on after a couple of days. As for Journey’s End, it was a perfect place for my friends and I to kick back, relax, and laugh! Till our hearts content you guys did a perfect job with the place. Everything we needed was here and the view of the lake is a comfort to the soul. I think we all agree we’d like to return, but one thing is certain-I’ll remember this place well and with a big smile! Thanks so much! Pat and John Vida

  • 8/5 - 12, 2007 We had a wonderful time at your house and playing in the water. The house was very "Kid" friendly. It was also a great location to explore nearby areas. We loved the glass museum in Corning, the Strong museum in Rochester, the Watkins Glen State Park and visiting friends in Skaneatlas, NY.

  • June 10th-13th This was our summer get together - 3 couples from Florida, New Jersey and Ohio. we enjoyed our entire time here and were blessed with outstanding weather. We appreciate the cottage being equipped with everything that one would need and then some. Amenities that we really appreciated were the Adirondack chairs on the deck and dock, the kayaks, shampoo, cascade dishwasher soap, fully equipped kitchen, gas grill, water dispenser etc. The area is beautiful from the lake to the surrounding hillsides. We enjoyed lunch at the Wagner winery across the lake, our hikes at the Watkins Glen State Park, and our visit to the Belhurst Castle. We really enjoyed dinner at the Madderlake resturant near Geneva. We take home many fond memories. Enjoyed meeting the both of you and wish you a very happy summer!

  • June 7-9, 2007 Dear Ed and Roseann, We had a wonderful 3 days at "Journey's End." The lake cottage was perfect with all it's amenities and lake decor. We really enjoyed the dock(fishing, sunning, coffee time, reading, wine time, nap time, etc.). The view is absolutely fabulous! We really enjoyed the surrounding area also....Watkins Glen State Park, wine tasting, Weaver View Farms, Penn Yan, etc. We actually think we short changed ourselves in our stay, so were already talking about our next visit :). Thank you for such a memorable time!! Karen Bowler and Roland Zamarron Austin, Tx

  • 9/10 thru 9/12/06 Dear Bud and Roseann, Thank You for a great new vacation spot! We absolutely ejoyed our stay at the cottage, especially with all the comforts of home! You have the perfect combination of beauty between the lake and the cottage. The woodwork was very impressive and I loved the modern appliances. All of your hard work really shows in both the appearance and presentation. The weather was alot nicer than we imagined it would be. Also, as the forcast originally called for rain thoughout our entire stay, I actually got a sunburn! I picked up some wine from one of the many local wineries in the area to share with my friends. By the way, your property description on "VRBO".....everything was just as you advertised and that I think was pretty impressive! Thanks Again! Andra Telenda
