Holiday Rental House
Our cozy cottage is right in the heart of wine country and overlooks Seneca Lake from the east side, so the sunsets are amazing and filled with spectacular colors. Set among summer cottages and homes in a rustic/country-style neighborhood, our property has 45 feet of lake frontage with a dock. Depending on the weather and day of the week, the atmosphere on this uncongested lake ranges from calm and peaceful to joyful and fun.
Our newly renovated cottage features a luxurious bathroom with a whirlpool tub, an open floor plan between the kitchen and living room, and a deck with a comfortable patio set and gas grill. There are two sliding glass doors that lead from the living room to the deck, which allow for nice lake views through the surrounding trees.

The lakefront has a shaded area with a bonfire ring and picnic table, as well as a sunny dock. You can borrow the owner's 2 kayaks, peddle boat, and row boat, and use camp chairs that are kept in the boat shed. There's something for everyone, including swimming, boating, kayaking, long walks along a dirt road through vineyards, fishing, and romantic evenings watching the sunset and drinking local wine.

Interaction with guests:Â At first, I usually interact with guests mostly via email, as they're deciding whether to book our lake house, and when they have a lot of questions or want to book it. Then, at least about a week before their arrival date, I email them with directions to the house and some pre-arrival information such as how to get into the house when they arrive, what to bring, etc. My husband and I also live in the same neighborhood as the house, so it's very convenient for us to drop by to help out if something is needed. Once or twice a day, guests might also see me walking our dog, Seneca, along the gravel road that leads down to the house, and they usually recognize me or our dog from the website pictures and stop to say hello. I really enjoy meeting
This cozy cute cottage is just steps away from a lovely lake front with kayaks and a campfire ring. The cottage is a perfect size for a family of four or five. There is a fenced in yard for your pup and a tree shaded deck that looks out on the lake. Loved the large bathroom with the whirlpool tub! We had a wonderful time visiting nearby wineries and enjoyed delicious food at several local restaurants. Watkins Glen State Park is 20 minutes away. The owners are nearby and available as needed. You can't go wrong with this rental!

Amazing place on a beautiful lake
The cottage was great, an amazing view of the lake from the deck. The lake front was right down a set of stairs in the back yard. We really enjoyed the kayaks, and the bonfire on the lake shore. We had dinner at Dano's. If you like Austrian style cusine, you must try it. If we had to do it all over again, we would stay longer.

Beautiful Cottage on Seneca Lake!
We really enjoyed our stay at this little cottage on Seneca Lake. It was clean and well-maintained. There are so many wineries nearby, and visiting them was the highlight of our stay. Mary was very helpful when we were making plans for our trip, by suggesting we go to certain wineries and restaurants. I would recommend this cottage for sure.

About the neighbourhood
The surrounding area is incredibly dense with wineries overlooking the lake. You can have a great time touring the area and tasting wines. THERE ARE 10 WINERIES AND A BREWERY WITHIN A 10 MINUTE DRIVE, AND ONE WINERY WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE. The property is 15 minutes north of Watkins Glen, home of the WG International Race Track and WG Gorge. It's also surrounded by the Finger Lakes National Forest, with many nice hiking trails. You-pick fruit orchards and honor-system fruit and vegetable stands are available frequently during the summer and fall. Skyland Farm, a fine-craft gallery with items from over 500 artists and a feeding farm, is a must-see. The cuisine in the area is delicious with dining atmospheres ranging from casual to elegant.
