About this property
On the Rocks - A Wine Country Wonder!
Tucked along the peaceful east side of Seneca Lake, On the Rocks offers the perfect lakeside escape for couples seeking relaxation, connection, and a true taste of Finger Lakes living. Ideally located midway between Watkins Glen and Geneva—and just minutes from wineries like Hazlitt 1852 Vineyards, Wagner Vineyards, and Standing Stone—this cozy cottage provides the perfect blend of comfort, charm, and convenience.
Start your day on the screened-in porch, where the sound of gentle waves and the view of Seneca Lake create a serene backdrop for your morning coffee. It's the kind of spot you'll return to again and again—whether you're sharing a glass of wine at sunset, escaping the afternoon sun, or simply soaking up the peaceful atmosphere.
Inside, a bright and inviting living area offers cozy seating and picture windows that frame the water beyond. The compact kitchen is thoughtfully equipped with everything you need to cook, and the open layout makes it easy to enjoy conversation while preparing meals. A dining nook by the window invites you to linger over dinner and take in the lake views.
Upstairs, two comfortable bedrooms each feature a queen bed and soft linens, offering the perfect place to rest after a day of exploring.
Just across the quiet country road, you'll find shared access to the lake—ideal for a swim, a morning paddle, or simply relaxing by the shore. The home's level setting makes it easy to enjoy the outdoors, and with pet-friendly accommodations for two small dogs, your furry friends can join in on the fun too.
From On the Rocks, you're just a short drive from Watkins Glen State Park, local breweries, and some of the best vineyards in the Finger Lakes. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, enjoying a romantic getaway, or simply looking to unwind, this charming lakeside retreat offers everything you need for a relaxing and memorable stay on Seneca Lake.
