About this property

Beautiful Views, Sunrises, Dog Friendly, Comfortable!

Welcome to "Peace of Haven" ~ This cozy cottage offers you peace and serenity! Sit back and enjoy the view of the lake while having a cup of coffee or glass of wine, read a book and lounge in one of our cushioned loungers. The coziness of the home can't be expressed through the pictures - it truly is a little piece of heaven as soon as you enter the home and you feel the tension of life fade away.

Mesmerizing sunrise pours into your bedroom window with the gift of a new day. Spend your day relaxing with a book, kayaking, fishing, exploring the many amenities of the area including winery, brewery & cheese tours, shopping, walking the Glen, hiking & biking trails, skiing, golfing, enjoy the casino, Watkins Glen Raceway and a variety of restaurants.

Wind back down from the day to enjoy dinner from the grill and dining on the deck overlooking the lake. Head down to the beach by the lake for a crackling fire in the pit to wrap up the day. As the sun sets, experience the moon dancing on the lake and the serene feel of the lake lightly crashing along the shore.

As soon as you turn down our private lane, you'll transition to the feeling of peacefulness. The cottage is on a dead end street limiting traffic to the locals. There is plenty of parking that can accommodate up to six cars. Easy access to the cottage with a level lot makes unpacking a breeze. Upon entering the cottage, you'll feel the warmth and coziness of the home with lake views and a bright open floor plan.

Our home offers 2 bedrooms with queen sized beds and pillow top mattresses, pull out couch with queen memory foam mattress, 2 full bathrooms, and a separate laundry room. A fully stocked kitchen will provide you with everything you need to cook an amazing meal for your family. The kitchen has plenty of cupboard and counter space for easy meal preparation. A full pantry is available for your personal food. Dining area includes room for 6 or serve dinner on the deck while enjoying the amazing lake view. The living room is spacious and has comfortable seating. On a cold winter's night, cozy up in the rocker, turn on the fireplace and watch the snow gently falling over the lake offering an entirely new experience!

Head down to the beach and enjoy some fishing off the dock, take a swim to cool off, sit around the fire pit, play a few yard games or just grab a lounger and soak up the sun.

Our home offers high speed internet, satellite TV, television in the master bedroom & streaming TV in the living room, fully stocked kitchen, grill, yard games, corn hole, board games, puzzles, a small library of books, DVD's & VHS's, 2 kayaks w/life vests, small variety of swimming floats.

We are conveniently located half way on the west side of the lake so a drive in either direction to Geneva or Watkins Glen is convenient. Penn Yan is about 8 miles away and offers shopping, restaurants, grocery store & gas. Variety of restaurants, wineries and breweries to choose from.

You will absolutely love enjoying some down time at our cottage ~

Thank you so much for staying with us and we loved having you! Congratulations to your daughter! May - October is actually our season here & the months that get booked pretty solid. That is the beauty of our area and the Seneca Lake Wine Trail who receive funds from the state & county to provide activities all through the year - which typically start with Valentine's Day and run through the Christmas Holiday. There is always something going on through the year - we hope you come back again so you can enjoy some of the festivals provided by our local businesses.

We had a wonderful stay! The place was great and had everything we needed to relax and have fun. It was especially perfect for our trip with two kids — they had a great time and we felt very comfortable the entire stay.We especially loved the kayaks — they really made the experience even more special. Being able to get out on the water added so much to our trip and created some of our favorite moments.The space was clean, well-equipped, and made for an easy, enjoyable getaway. We would definitely come back!

Perfect birthday on the Lake!What a wonderful way to celebrate my March birthday! My husband and I and our two pups have been to the Finger Lakes several times but this was our first time on the lake, and we loved it! The cottage is so clean, charming, and lovingly decorated. We’ve never been a rental that was so well equipped. Host Nancy has provided everything you could ever want or need … and then some. She quickly responds to any questions. Evenings spent around the fireplace made the cozy cottage even cozier. We’re already planning a return trip.

We had a wonderful stay here over Christmas. Check-in was easy and the house looked great. They put up Christmas decorations all through the house, including stockings on the fireplace and even a tree! The view out the living room and bedroom windows is amazing. We had some sunrises that were simply jaw-dropping. Even with weather in the single digits, the house was warm and comfortable. For our family of four, it would have been nice to have a third bedroom, but our oldest was perfectly comfortable on the pull-out couch, with automated blackout curtains keeping it plenty dark for him to sleep in. It would be perfect for one or two couples looking to explore the Finger Lakes. Thank you, Nancy, for a wonderful stay!

Very well kept and clean. Small issue with the lockbox for the keys but Nancy was easy to get in touch with and got us taken care of right away. Location was great for touring both Seneca lake and Keuka lake. Enjoyed a campfire by the dock on one night. Will definitely look to stay here again next time we come to the lakes!!

From the minute we walked in we were relaxed for a Thanksgiving long weekend. The views are amazing. This was the coziest well stocked dog friendly house I’ve stayed in. Owner thinks of everything. I mean everything. We lit the flame less candles every night. Great dishes and cookware. Our 2 Boxer dogs had plenty of room to spread out. I could go on and on about how special this little place is. Communication was flawless, instructions for everything. Just an amazing stay
Relaxing by the fire. 🔥
