Beautiful location, listing and information was clear, thorough, and accurate. Cottage comfortable and well equipped for our stay with good quality and clean supplies. Spent much of our stay on the porch with the wonderful view or on a paddle board taking in the view.

Highly Recommended Lakeside Stay

We stayed at the Lake House for two nights while attending graduation in Ithaca and had a wonderful experience. The location is perfect—peaceful, quiet, and surrounded by nature, providing a serene retreat after busy and hectic days in Ithaca. It was the ideal place to relax and unwind. I highly recommend this property for anyone seeking a calm and restful getaway.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
The place was cute with a great location! I’m leaving three stars because there were active wasp nests on the porch. I sent a message asking that they remove the nests the first day or if they have spray I could use. They replied that they had tried to treat them and there was no spray left. Next to my group more importantly you can not drink the water there even filtered water. This wasn’t listed on the property. We were not prepared for this which was difficult. If they would add that to the info before booking or just having communicated something they knew would have been great! The info is in the house binder not even by the sink. I would still go back but bring water and my own wasp spray. It was very clean and comfortable

I’m sorry for the misunderstanding. The “wasps” on the deck were actually mud daubers. They are not aggressive and actually help control the spiders. We take the nests down, but in general, they are good to have around. We do occasionally spray for wasps, but try to minimize spray as much as possible. The lake shore is a natural environment and that means some bugs and animals at times. Regarding the water, the notice was in the pdf sent to you prior to your arrival.

About the host

Hosted by Amy L Spaziani

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Amy, and I'm from the Finger Lakes area in Central New York. I've grew up in this area, and it is truly one of the most beautiful places I've been to. It's been my dream to own a property on Seneca lake, and now I get to share it with you all!

Why they chose this property

My cottage is nestled down at the water's edge on the east side of Seneca Lake. It feels like a tiny community far from the rest of the world. But in reality, it's super close to the best of central NY! History, hiking, forests, farms and markets, wineries, distilleries, and breweries are all within 30 minutes drive. There's something for everyone!

What makes this property unique

I can't ever spend enough time on our deck, relaxing as the sun sets over the lake.
