About this property

Lakefront Cottage on Seneca Lake in Geneva, New York - Finger Lakes

Lakefront vacation cottage with beautiful Seneca Lake as your backyard. Located in the picturesque Finger Lakes in Geneva. Stay here and visit award winning vineyards and breweries, access to incredible hiking, and of course, kayaking and other water sports on Seneca Lake. Wake up to serene sunrises and coffee on the dock and relax with a glass of wine while watching the moon rise from the deck. There is also a charming lakeside cabin to relax in after coming back from the lake or during the rain!

Close to Hobart and William Smith Colleges and the City of Geneva. Just a 35 minute drive to Watkins Glen. Note that the two twin beds are part of a trundle bed. Guests have access to 2 kayaks and 1 canoe (holds 2-3 people).

Geneva has a town ordinance of quiet time between 10pm and 7am. It is enforced.

All water activities are at your own risk and children should always be supervised near the water. Life jackets are available. Parking is available for 3 cars. Only park in the driveway (not the gravel--this is my neighbor's!). There is a train next to the road in front of the house. It only comes 1 to 2 times per day and never at night but should not be an issue.

While this property does not allow pets, this is not a pet free property. The owner has pets but the property is cleaned very well at all times.

Quiet and Beautiful home

We loved the house. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need. The living room was cozy and the outdoor spaces were great too. Our sons loved escaping to the cabin. In addition to the close proximity to wineries and the town of Geneva, we loved that the home was within driving distance of a bunch of state parks with great hikes. The lake was quiet and peaceful.

Family week

Property was wonderful. Immaculate when we arrived. Enough room for 6 of us plus baby. Porch and deck provided lots of outdoor space to relax. Less than a 10 minute drive to charming Geneva which had lots of nice restaurants. Many wineries within 10 minutes as well.

Amazing vacation by lake Seneca

We had an amazing time at this lakefront property! Second year in a row for us vacationing in the lake house and we cannot wait to go back. The house was sparkling clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. There was plenty to do in the area (we loved visiting vineyards, Niagara Falls, and lake Ontario), making our stay both relaxing and fun. Laura is incredibly responsive and she made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend!!

Perfect vacation

This was our first time at the Fingerlakes and it was just amazing. The house is beautiful, comfortable, clean, and had all we needed to relax and enjoy. The views on the lake are breathtaking. We loved having breakfast and lunch outdoors at the lake, and hanging out at the pier. Laura is an amazing host, very responsive and on top of every detail to ensure we had an amazing stay. A place where we would all love to go back!

Labor Day Weekend stay

We recently visited over Labor Day weekend. The house was exceptionally clean & well appointed. Laura is great host who goes above & beyond with small details to make the stay more enjoyable. We spent most of the weekend on the lake in kayaks and on the paddleboard we rented. Our kids, 14& 11, enjoyed it much more than they expected :) It was very relaxing to have our coffee on the dock each morning. We also enjoyed the firepit at night. We had a great stay & look forward to visiting again!

Beautiful place, great location and services.

Charming house brings you really home feeling, amazing lake’s view end water activities (water shoes are the must, lake’s floor is really rocky). House equipped with all your possible needs and a way beyond. Close to shopping and local food. I don’t have even mention that you’ll be staying in the heart on NY vine production. Laura is a great host. Very easy and quick to communicate for all of your necessities. Definitely the place to return to.

Better than Advertized

When arriving, we walked around back and the pictures don't do justice to the setting. The deck off the house, the sitting area on the dock, it was all perfectly laid out and better than advertised. The inside of the house was just as great. I can not say good enough things about the cleanliness and condition of the property and furniture, as well as the stock of the kitchen items and toiletries at the property. Laura is an absolute pro at making her guests feel welcome and invited. We will definitely be coming back in the future for another great week at this wonderful house.

About the host

Hosted by Laura Mrakovcic

Host profile image
Our family has always wanted to live on the lake. We purchased this property a few years ago, and we have really enjoyed discovering the beautiful finger lakes. Now we want to share our home with you so you can make your own discoveries.

Why they chose this property

Location. Location. We are lakefront near the town of Geneva with access to many vineyards, breweries, shopping, hiking, water sports, and more. There is so much to do; you will want to come back again!

What makes this property unique

We have a bonus building on the property: An extra small cabin lakeside for the kids to hang out in or to get in out of the rain.
