Charming Waterfront Cottage on Beautiful Seneca Lake - Lakefront Bliss !
Indulge in the beauty of the Finger Lakes at our charming cottage, nestled on the east shore of Seneca Lake. Just eight miles south of Geneva, our haven promises an unforgettable retreat with breathtaking sunsets and a private lakefront oasis.
We are proud of being an original member of VRBO, number 168 and joined over 20 years ago !
KEY FEATURES:
• Comfortable Living: Our fully air-conditioned and heated cottage features a well-equipped kitchen, cozy living room with a stone fireplace, and a dining area. Entertainment options include a 32-inch Cable HDTV, Blu-ray/DVD player, and streaming services like Netflix. The cottage is well off the road with plenty of parking.
• Restful Sleep: Experience true comfort in the master bedroom with a king-size bed, furnished with a Serta hotel-quality mattress. If you do not have king sheets we will provide them for you (complimentary). The second bedroom offers 2 sets of bunk beds; one with a double bed on the bottom, twin on top and the second with 2 twin beds. The second bedroom also has cable TV with a DVD/VHS player is also available.
• Outdoor Bliss: Step outside to a unique roofed patio overlooking the lake, complete with an outdoor fireplace, propane grill, Adirondack chairs, and picnic table. Just steps from the patio experience a deck with comfortable outdoor seating providing a perfect spot to enjoy the lake and the fresh lake air. You will find our front and back yards meticulously landscaped with a beautiful display of flowers, foliage, and plenty of green lawn.
• Waterfront Delight: Enjoy lakefront living with only six stair steps to lake level where you will enjoy your own private dock and lake entry. The lake depth off the dock is two to three feet. The depth deepens very gradually as you go out. A bit further out, enjoy our swim float which is anchored in about five feet of water.
In addition, for those who bring or rent a boat, we have an electric boat lift for you which is available for nominal charge. New for 2024 we have 2 single and 2 double kayaks for your enjoyment!
ADDITIONAL PERKS:
• Free Wi-Fi: Stay connected with complimentary Wi-Fi for all your digital needs.
• Wine Enthusiast's Dream: Receive complementary wine tasting vouchers to explore the Finger Lakes' renowned wineries.
• Local Expertise: If you are fishing enthusiasts like we are, you will find some of the best fishing in the state on Seneca Lake. If you have a boat, we will show you how to catch the beautiful abundant Seneca Lake lake trout as well as rainbow and brown trout. Boat rentals are just five minutes away and we are happy to arrange a rental for you.
In addition to our inviting cottage rental, we proudly operate a well-established and successful fishing charter business. As a special gesture for our cottage guests, we extend a discounted rate on both fishing charters and captivating lake tours. Our vessel is not only fully equipped but also captained by the owner, a distinguished United States Coast Guard licensed Captain, ensuring a safe and memorable experience on the water.
CONVENIENCE AND HOSPITALITY:
• Fully Furnished: The cottage is completely furnished including dishes, silverware, coffee maker, filters, pots and pans, etc. We also provide all paper supplies, soaps and shampoos, bath mat, blankets and pillows. Just bring your sheets, pillowcases, and towels. Note: If you are flying in and are cramped for suitcase space, we will provide all of these for you.
• Local Guide: Just for you, we have written our “Welcome” book. It presents all of the information on the cottage and the area, including directions to the restaurants, wineries, attractions, bait stores, grocery stores, shopping areas, and much more.
BOOK YOUR GETAWAY:
Experience the magic of the Finger Lakes at one of the finest vacation rentals. Whether you seek adventure on the lake or relaxation by the shore, our cottage offers a perfect escape. We look forward to hosting your memorable vacation.
