About this property

Willow Cove: Wine Country and Lake Living

Nestled along the peaceful eastern shore of Seneca Lake, Willow Cove is a charming lakeside retreat made for small families or couples looking to unwind and experience the best of Finger Lakes life. With 75 feet of private lakefront, plenty of outdoor space, and easy access to award-winning wineries, this cozy home makes relaxation effortless.

Step inside to find a warm and welcoming country kitchen stocked with everything you need to prepare your favorite meals. Whether you're cooking a simple breakfast before heading out on a wine tour or enjoying a quiet dinner in, this space is designed for comfort and connection. Just around the corner, a decorative fireplace adds a touch of charm to the living area—perfect for gathering with a glass of local wine and watching the lake shimmer in the background.

Two inviting bedrooms offer restful sleeping spaces, each designed to help you recharge after a day of exploring. A third room with a futon provides additional flexibility for guests, ensuring everyone has a comfortable spot to relax. Soft bedding, peaceful surroundings, and lake breezes make it easy to fall asleep and wake up refreshed, ready for another day of adventure in the Finger Lakes.

Outside, Willow Cove truly shines. A wraparound deck provides the ideal place to start your morning with coffee in hand or unwind in the evening as the sun sets over the water. The long, grassy yard offers space for lawn games or a picnic by the shore, while the permanent dock is perfect for fishing, lounging, or taking in the stunning lake views. When the water is calm, grab the canoe or kayak and spend some time paddling along the shoreline—it's the best way to experience the beauty of Seneca Lake up close.

Located right in the heart of the Seneca Lake Wine Trail, this home is surrounded by some of the region's most beloved wineries and breweries. Spend your afternoons tasting local vintages at Ventosa Vineyards or Three Brothers Winery, or stop by Bottomless Brewing for a craft pint.
Whether you're planning a quiet weekend getaway or a fun-filled family trip, Willow Cove offers everything you need for a memorable Finger Lakes escape—peace, comfort, and the timeless charm of life by the lake.

We had a very relaxing week stay at this great house. Being right on the lake was amazing. The water was clear and refreshing on a hot day. We floated and fished, played games, skipped rocks, and made smores. Would definitely stay here again!

Stayed here for a long weekend. Although the lake house is older, it was such a wonderful stay! House was cleans, wrap around porch and dock were perfect for early morning coffee and late night relaxation. Also loved the sunroom/addition. The street is quiet and safe. Close to some very good wineries and breweries. It is also close to the town of Geneva and restaurants. Can’t wait to return next year!
