About this property
Make memories - located on Seneca Lake 8 miles south of Geneva
Located on the western shore of beautiful Seneca Lake about eight miles south of Geneva just off Route 14, Easy Livin’ Cottage at Oak Grove Beach is a perfect place to relax and enjoy family fun. This two-bedroom lakeside cottage offers something to guests of all ages, and its location in the heart of the Finger Lakes makes Easy Livin’ Cottage an ideal destination for a family or two adult couples.
Easy Livin’ Cottage is very comfortable and decorated to reflect the Finger Lakes. It features a fully equipped “L” shaped kitchen that includes an electric stove with oven, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, dishes, utensils, glassware, and pots and pans. A spacious living-dining room with a working fireplace and 46” LCD Smart TV with cable provides warmth and entertainment on chilly evenings. The cottage also has WiFi internet. Baseboard heat plus a heater in the bathroom are also available. We have a wall air conditioner unit that will keep the cottage cooler on the hot summer days. There is one bathroom with a shower; the water supply is from the city. The master bedroom has a queen bed, and the second bedroom includes a bunk bed with a full mattress on the lower bed and a single on the upper and will sleep three. There is also a queen pullout sofa in the living room. (We DO NOT provide bed linens or towels.) French doors provide open access from the living area to the spacious screened-in porch overlooking the lake and features a picnic table and ample seating. This is a great place to enjoy the exquisite sunrises, the serene moon rises, or to relax, read a book or just daydream and enjoy the lake. The cottage is all on one floor with two steps at the driveway side entrance.
The large rolling lawn borders 135 feet of level natural lake frontage and provides wonderful opportunities for summer fun. You might cook on the charcoal grill, gather everyone around the outside picnic table for a summer barbecue, play a board game or game of cards, but be sure to take time to relax in the comfort of the Adirondack chairs on the lawn as you watch the wildlife and waves on the lake.
Eight stairs bring you to a level beach. The lakefront is all natural and the water depth is gradual, about three feet at the end of the dock and “dotted” with a few large rocks, making this a perfect spot to swim, wade and play in the water. The dock is great for relaxing and sunbathing. In the evening the fire pit is available for a campfire, toasting marshmallows and making s'mores. You can watch the moon rise across the lake, enjoy the serenity of the moonlight dancing on the lake, find the patterns in the stars, or simply listen to the water lapping on the shore.
Railroad Tracks run 100 feet behind the house with a short train about twice a day, as is the same with most of the cottages in this area.
Pillows, comforters and blankets are supplied. Bed linens, bath, beach and kitchen towels are not included.

May and late September/October bookings have a 3 night minimum and will be approved based on dates and other requests. Once the booking has been approved a Rental Agreement will be sent out to for review. Payment of the rental will constitute agreement to the Rental Agreement.

3rd year vacationing here. This is a great spot for us. So easy to get everywhere…. Just a few miles from Geneva and so many places to eat, drink and sight see. Everything was just so “easy”
This property was amazing. Our family of 4 stayed here (two boys- 10 and 6) and really enjoyed all the private outdoor space. Hours were spent on the beach and dock fishing, playing in the rocks, working on the fire, creating forts, etc. The rooms both have black out curtains which led to sleeping in for our normally early risers! We loved the porch as extra covered outdoor space, especially with the couple days of rain. The only negative is the lack of washer/dryer to clean all the dirt-coated clothes from playing outside all day The host Mark was friendly and quick to respond to any questions that came up.
We had such a lovely time with two adults and three small kids. We swam daily, enjoyed family time on the screened in porch, and slept comfortably. The air conditioning was adequate to keep the whole house during our 90 degree week by leaving interior doors open. We really enjoyed the privacy. The train tracks were a non-issue and our kids loved running to wave to the train crew. The water was approximately three feet deep at the end of the dock. The home matched the pictures and exceeded our expectations.
The location was spot on for winery tastings, and the porch was our beginning and ending of each day. Wildlife and views that were superb. Quiet and relaxing waiting for the small train each day. Bravo!
Beautiful cottage in an excellent location on Seneca Lake
Cottage was very comfortable and included all desired amenities. Convenient location that allowed, close access to Roys Marina for boat rental and near many wineries for wine tasting. Also, close to Geneva and Seneca Falls for sight seeing.
We had a wonderful week at this cottage. Plenty of room and we loved the screened porch. Cottage had everything we needed and the owners were very responsive to our questions. Beach front was great and no seaweed so you could walk right into the lake! Only improvement would be ladder on the dock. GREAT place to rent.
This cottage is located just south of Geneva and positioned
so we were able to get to the other towns (Dundee, Penn Yan, Hamondsport, etc.) with in 30 minutes to an hour of the cottage.
House was very clean. Back screened in porch was great for dinner and relaxing. Fire pit near the water was perfect We did have a boat with us and wished we knew beforehand that the driveway made it impossible to access the property. Other than that are stay was great.
Pretty much as listed. Nothing fancy but cleanIt was very warm at the beginning of our stay. The air-conditioning kept up for the most part. The location on the lake was very nice and a good central location for both Seneca and
Love this little cottage! Great location. The furniture is comfortable, the kitchen is well equipped and the screened in porch is fantastic. Had a wonderful time enjoying the view of the lake and the ducks, birds and other little visitors to the dock and beach area. Would definitely visit again!
Lovely piece of lake front, nice dock, plenty of lawn for games. Screened in porch with trundle bed, chairs, picnic table. Mermaid rock to the left of the dock. Lots of fossils. Quiet neighbors. We couldn't have asked for a better spot.
The property is perfect. The price is right. It is a cottage. This comes with the awesome screen porch and ceilings to the roof. The rooms are not spacious but that is what we expect in a cottage. Perfect furnishings and very clean. Very private and great property.
The place was exactly as described and was perfect for our stay. We’ve owned and rented on Seneca Lake since the 60’s and this place was just what we needed. Everything you would need and more. Loved the home, the property and our vacation! Thank you.
This was our second time at the Easy Livin' Cottage, and it did not disappoint. If you are looking for a tranquil, cozy spot with gorgeous views and easy access to the water, then this is your place. We rented paddle boards for the week, had fires on the beach, took advantage of delicious local wines and fresh produce, and went for hikes every day. Thank you so much!
We enjoyed our stay here on the lakefront property. We went swimming every day as it was in the high 80’s every day. The cottage was very hot when we first checked in. A/C was not turned on and it took a few days to cool down. I enjoyed the screened in porch and slept out there several days. Kitchen and bathroom supplies were everything we needed. Would like to stay here again, maybe next year!

Our family has always enjoyed summers on Seneca Lake. We live in Geneva and find that the short ten minute drive to the cottage changes our lives and the way we look at the world. While our family now lives out of the area, they are drawn back to the lake each summer. As we share this beautiful peaceful spot on Seneca Lake, we hope that you will find the same for your family as you take time to work, play and relax together. Plan to make memories and take home many marvelous stories to share about your time at Easy Livin' Cottage on Seneca Lake.
