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.

This place exceeded expectations! Beautifully furnished, well-stocked kitchen, games and boats- all in a great location! Quiet, relaxing, with easy access to restaurants, wineries, and more!
Absolutely perfect week and stay. The cottage had everything we could ask for and more. Plenty of room for our party of 5. Would definitely rent again!
Clean, quiet, comfortable, and stocked with everything needed to enjoy the lake and surrounding areas. Bring food, clothes, and drinks. Understated amenities. The dock house was a cool hangout for kiddo.
The lakeside property was gorgeous and very clean. Was very relaxing. There were all the amenities that you could think of available. You don't have to bring anything extra. She has it all! The outside dock was gorgeous and relaxing, with gorgeous views. Tip- there are reclining folding chairs in the cabin that we used on the dock as well. That cabin also served as a cute additional hangout and storage for extra activities. The fridge, dishwasher and stove could use some updating. But all in all, did work fine. I would definitely stay here again!! Was close to Watkins Glen state park, wineries, boating, and was 2 hours from Niagara Falls, to which we ventured. You can't go wrong staying at this lovely home. I highly recommend it.
Four of us had the pleasure of staying here over this past weekend and we had a great time!
The house was so cute and incredibly clean. We loved the dock and spent our mornings having coffee there. Great location!
Couldnt recommend this listing more!!
Awesome property, all amenities covered and supplied. Communication was top notch. Each room was perfect and access to the dock was gorgeous.
Definitely would come back.
The house was amazing, the view of the lake was breath taking! The house was so clean and had everything we needed for a great relaxing vacation. The kayaks, the fire pit the corn hole game and so much more! We would highly recommend this property right on beautiful Seneca Lake!
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.
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.
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!!
Great house at a beautiful spot on the lake. It was nice to watch the sun rise across the water while sipping coffee. The house was also very well kept and relaxing inside.
This is a lovely, well equipped house directly on Lake Seneca . It is immaculate and has a large deck as well as a cottage near the water. Kayaks and a canoe are included. Highly recommend this beautiful house.
