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.

Fun at the Fingerlakes

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.

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.

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!!
