Perfect experience and just as described. Quiet, peaceful, comfortable. All the amenities of home were available. The remodeled interior is beautiful and the beds are comfortable. The sunrises are amazing and I did a lot of kayaking, reading, and eating!! Because of some rain, the wi-fi and large screen TV were available. The air is so clean and fresh on this little lake. The cottage is very close to Hammondsport, which was a delightful new experience for me. Such a quaint village with shops, parks, rentals, and trails. We did not get to Watkins Glen because we were so relaxed and content, there was no need to leave cottage and explore like I typically do. Jean was a great hostess and communication was excellent, as was the value. My sister and I highly recommend.

Fun for the five of us!

Our family of five loved staying at this property. The beds and pillows were comfy, the deck and yard are perfect, the rowboat and kayaks are so super fun, and that lakeside view and access is amazing. We enjoyed the smaller lake (compared to Seneca), and easy access to popular attractions. Staying at the property and enjoying a day at the lake was perfect too. Our week there zoomed by and we loved it.

Beautiful spot!

Cozy, comfortable cottage with perfect access to the lake. Fishing right off the dock was a highlight for our 11-year-old. Gorgeous view. The cell service is very spotty or unavailable, but the WiFi worked great.

Annual Family Trip

We've stayed here before and hope to stay again. We enjoyed sunrises, relaxing on the lawn, campfires, cooking on the grill, kayaking, spending time with family. We visited Crystal Valley Farm, Macgregor's, shopped in Hammondsport, ate at the BBQ place on Waneta Lake during sunset, and attended WGI. It was a jam packed 5 days.

Can’t wait to return

Nothing fancy. Great for fishing , didn’t have an hour without catching something at the dock. Great kayaking. Very low water pressure in shower so time your showers accordingly! Very quiet, peaceful, beautiful. Watkins Glen is wonderful…. Good food and pier. Truly relaxing trip.

Comfy stay

As expected, the house is on the smaller side, but the open floor plan makes it feel more spacious. We also really enjoyed having the backyard on days it was too cold to swim. We played kubb and bocci. Kayaking/canoeing to Red Bank island was also a lot of fun. Overall, the house was perfect for what we were looking for, and so glad we found it!

Week on Lamoka

Lake house was great. Right on the lake with access to a small boat and kayaks. All of the cooking utensils were well stocked. Hard water was a little unpleasant but manageable. Lake house relatively clean but there was some dog hair which was surprisingly considering it's a pet free rental. Overall would definitely stay again.

Cozy Lake Retreat

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. This place had everything we needed, including lots of extra blankets and an electric fireplace for some unseasonably cool August weather. We loved using the rowboat and kayaks. We had several backyard fires with the provided wood. It was nice to have indoor and outdoor seating for the variations in weather. Very homey, comforting, laid-back vibe that was perfect for the restful vacation we were hoping for. Our only suggestion is blackout shades for the primary bedroom. Thank you!

Nice clean cottage...larger bedroom gets cold at night. Very nice deck and yard ,steps to lake. Lake was very low and alot of seaweed.Don't think the neighbors or the locals like renters. Not very friendly at all. Only friendly person was the young man at the lamoka lake gift shop. He was very friendly and made a sale because of it. Other than that it was a very relaxing week.

Adorable cabin on a nice lake!

This is an adorable cabin on a nice lake. We love kayaking and this lake is big enough to have room to explore, but small enough to not be over crowded. We also very much enjoyed the dining area that looks out over the lake and the comfy couch for evening movie viewing. The only drawbacks are that it does not have central air. The window units in the bedrooms work great! However, there were a couple heat advisory days during our visit which made the afternoons pretty sweaty. Finally, the kitchen is reasonably stocked (lots of good bowls including mixing bowls and a nice set of knives). It could use with a second, smaller skillet. Thankfully, we did most of our cooking on the grill!
