My husband Gary and I live near Buffalo, NY and own a floor covering store in Lockport NY. Nancy grew up 12 miles north of Penn Yan and is familiar with life in the Finger Lakes. We started renting a cottage on Waneta Lake in 1992 and by 2000, we were ready to buy a place of our own, and you'll find us there most weekends during the summer down the lake from the Dragonfly Inn.
Gary Case purchased this House in 2006
We have an acre of lawn to give you buffer space from other houses as well room for volley ball, and pick up football or soccer games. The very large wrap around porch lends shade from the sun and protection from the wind and rain and provides space for your entire group to lounge on one side. The spacious home provides a variety of active and relaxed areas for the diverse interests of a large group.
Our cottage, in addition to having access to all fishing and water sports, is close to dozens of wineries, The Windmill outdoor market (Saturdays only), Watkins Glen Motor Speedway, Corning Glassworks, Curtis Wright museum, and festivals happening throughout the summer at neighboring lakes and villages.

This was a wonderful place.
This was our group's first time to the Finger Lakes area. The Dragonfly Inn is an older lake house full of space, charm, and some endearing quirks. It was very well equipped and provides a large group (19) everything they need to have a great time and make lots of fun memories. We enjoyed direct access to Waneta Lake and the close proximity to Hammondsport and Watkins Glen was a huge plus. Much time was spent using the kayaks, paddle boats, and canoe. Having all the life jackets available in all different sizes was so helpful. If you don't mind some pond weeds/aglae, the water is shallow and fun for swimming, something the children in our group really enjoyed (ages 7 to 17). The wrap around porch was a great eating/gathering space and there was plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The game room was a great space for the kids to play. There was plenty of hot water and we found the majority of the beds comfortable. Gary was professional, responsive, and accommodating to the few things that popped up over the week. The file he sends before your stay was very helpful and thorough, be sure to read it so you know what to bring(drinking water, sheets, towels, etc). The only major downside for us was that the property has sulfur in the well water. Thankfully, we knew about this ahead of time because of the file Gary sent to us. We ended up buying our own drinking water since we weren't crazy about the taste of the tap water. By the end of the week the sulfur smell had started to dissipate and wasn't as noticeable. The Dragonfly Inn was definitely a great value for those who want a great location, things to do, and comfortable accomodations for large groups of varying ages. We really enjoyed our stay and hope you will, too.
My very large family, spanning several generations, had a wonderful time at this location. There was something to do for everyone - a spacious dock, a huge backyard, and plenty of indoor space as well. We especially enjoyed the large, wrap-around porch that gave us lots of room where we could relax and hide from a couple of quick rain showers. The owner was very responsive and accommodating. We look forward to returning in the future!
We had a great time at the Dragonfly Inn and enjoyed the large house! The covered porch was amazing - and as it was raining and humid it’s where we spent plenty of time hanging out & playing board games. Couldn’t have asked for a better place for our very large group of friends to relax.
Everyone in our party had a great time and we hope to be able to book again next July!
House was huge and awesome for hanging out. Lots of property and hood waterfront
Waneta Lake is a "secret gem" nestled among the Finger Lakes and has a very rural flavor. It's close proximety to wineries, museums, and Watkins Glen Motor Speedway makes it a favorite as soon as people visit.
