About this property
Cozy Cabin With 165 Ft Beach in the heart of FLX wine country! ALL are welcome!
The Green Duck is simply an easy house to be in. At the end of a private road, you'll find our charming 1 bedroom lake house- which includes a full kitchen and living room area with a bathroom (standup shower only). The house is equipped with washer and dryer! We like to keep all the screened windows open all summer and let the breeze keep the house cool, but if you need it, theres AC in the bedroom and the sun room that cools the whole place. There is working WIFI, DVD system, TV channels, but save that for a rainy day. You'll be spending most of your time outside on the deck or down on the beach and/or swimming dock. There are 2 kayaks for your use as well as some extra life jackets. Plenty of deck chairs for sitting or laying out in the sun. A great place for bird watching (bald eagles!) and fishing right off the dock! 2 fire raised metal fire pits (one on the beach and one in the yard) for those nighttime bonfires! This property is unique as we get both Sunrise on the lake and sunset over the hills of Fox Run Winery! One last thing - a charming and historic train runs next to the house. The train seems to have no set schedule, but seems to run very infrequently. Sometimes not coming for days on end and other times passing by up to 3 times in one day. We see this as part of the charm of the place- the train goes slow and the conductor will even sound the whistle for you if you wave at the train! All in all - this is the perfect house for a quiet, get-a-way - full of fishing, swimming, laying around, working on your new book, or a just a romantic rural experience! Oh, and if it gets too quiet - Historic Downtown Geneva is a 15 minute drive. There you can find gift shops, a cinema, The Smith Opera House, grocery stores, Linden Street, full of shops and great farm-to-table restaurants and a lakefront park.

From the moment we turned down the road to the house, we knew we made a very good choice! What a wonderful place! We had the best time and the house was awesome! We had everything we needed and the view was spectacular! Thank you for sharing this beautiful place! We will be back! Denise, Sept 2026
This cozy, well-appointed cabin is in a PERFECT spot--quiet, peaceful and beautiful--on Seneca Lake. For those who want to explore the area, Watkins Glen is an easy drive to the south, Geneva is 20 minutes north. Wineries and restaurants, unique little shops and farm markets abound. Or hop in one of the kayaks and do your exploring by water. You can count on a thoughtful host, who will provide detailed information about enjoying the cabin, the lake and the surrounding area. We loved being there!

Could not ask for better guests. Thank you so much for your care, thoughtfulness, and ease!
The green duck was very cozy and clean. The lake views were incredible and the hot tub was amazing. My husband and I absolutely loved our stay and plan on returning for another visit. Thank you Johnny for sharing your cottage!
The property location is right on the water and the view is wonderful. There are steps to go down to the dock. The cottage is just right for 2 people. The railroad tracks in the back of the property is of no concern. The train passed through once a day, in the morning. I would recommend this place if you want a quiet few days on the lake.
Kitchen well stocked per items needed for cooking. Very clean through out all areas. Fun / unique decorations. Did not use hot tub so no update on that. Beautiful area to use the available kayaks. Glad I had brought inflatable seat pad for extra cushioning on kayaks. Host gave a great deal of local information to us that was very helpful. Host upbeat per communications and quickly took care of one issue (exterior ant nest) we had during our stay. Beautiful flowers greeted us. Overall, wonderful stay and we would return.
The Green Duck is a delightful cottage with everything we could want for a getaway, and we highly recommend it!The house is cheerful and clean. It has A/C window units, but we mostly just opened the windows and set up some fans, and got a wonderful lake breeze to keep it comfortable.The location is perfect! Right above the water, very private compared to most waterfront properties, and yet close to shopping, some of our favorite wineries, and some really good restaurants. The hot tub is amazing and once you get it up to temperature it's pretty easy to keep it there for successive uses. Go for a quick dip with your morning coffee and fantastic views of the lake!Jonny is a gracious host, provides just about everything you might need, and is very responsive. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay at the Green Duck again!
We had a great stay. Neat little house right on the Lake. Johnny knew it was our anniversary and the roses when we entered the house was very nice. Nothing but positive things to say.
What a cute little hideaway cottage right on Seneca Lake! We loved how cozy the vibe was and that we felt like we were completely isolated while being walking distance to two great wineries and able to hop in the car and be to other amazing wineries and towns within minutes. The host will provide you with a list of recommendations- listen to them all! We lived by these recommendations our entire stay.
We had a fantastic winter getaway at this cozy cabin! We traveled here from Connecticut on New Years for my girlfriend’s birthday and enjoyed the hot tub, outdoor amenities, and the easy access to great local restaurants/wineries. The cabin has everything you could need and the scenery is incredible. Jonny was a fantastic host - he went above and beyond to make sure we had a comfortable stay. We’re hoping to make a return visit in the summer!
A quaint, quiet cottage just as seen on the listing. It was very clean and has all amentities you need for a stay. We enjoyed amazing sunrises over the water and sunsets over the vineyard. The decor is so comfy and fun, very refreshing for the area.
Jonny was a terrific host and the Green Duck was a fantastic winter getaway. Jonny was quick to respond to a small issue and made sure our stay was perfect. We will be back!!
The host was incredibly welcoming and anticipated our needs. We received a sizeable amount of snow, and the driveway was cleared before lunch! We enjoyed walking on the beach, relaxing in the hot tub, and watching the sunrise over the water.

One of my all time favorite guests! Such a pleasure!
Terrific stay at The Green Duck! Beautiful views, fall colors--nice and secluded, away from it all! Much to do in the surrounding area--hiking, waterfalls, museums. We highly recommend and would love to return! Jonny was an excellent host, super responsive!
I grew up in the finger lakes district and spent many memorable summers on Seneca Lake at my Grandfather's cabin. I moved away for work to Manhattan and after years of hard work, I was able to purchase my own cabin on the same lake as my grandfather - my own dream come true.. Sadly, my work requires me to travel almost constantly, so I am excited to share this slice of heaven with you!
Why they chose this property
I wanted to have a home on Seneca Lake, simply for nostalgic reasons. I missed those perfect quiet summers I spent up here as a kid - and when I am here - I do feel like a kid again. You have to stay here to really grasp what I'm saying! Also, living in Manhattan has really made me crave serenity. Here, you are literally surrounded by nature.
What makes this property unique
Incredible lake views, private 165 ft. beach, private road to house (shared with only two neighbors), the house is on the Finger Lakes Wine Trail. The backyard is flush with Fox Run's Riesling grape vines (pictured)!
