My husband and I enjoyed staying at this charming little retreat after a 1.5-week trip, and the experience was exactly what we needed. While the house is ideal for couples, we spent 90% of our time sitting outside, captivated by the lake views. What a delightful hidden gem! It's perfect when you need to escape with a special person or simply spend time alone in tranquil surroundings.
This was our third consecutive year staying at Bob's property. We are completely satisfied. This year was even better with the addition of a nice Roku television! We love the privacy and the quiet!
We had a wonderful stay at this lake cottage. The lake views are a step outside of the door and visible from inside. It was lovely to hear the waves as we slept at night. We stayed for the 4th of July and there were a lot of close fireworks displays provided by the neighbors throughout the weekend. The property was nice and clean and we had everything we needed. The owner was very polite and helpful with checking in.
My daughter and i were hoping for a very peaceful and quiet stay. This cottage more than delivered. The sound of the lake coming onto shore was so relaxing. The views were fabulous. We both got rested and rejuvenated. Would definitely stay there again. (For a 3rd time)
We definitely enjoyed our stay on Seneca Lake. It was quiet and cozy, just what we needed for a relaxing get-away. The cottage was neat and exactly as shown in the photos; and the owner was very helpful and attentive. The local fireworks were a plus for celebrating the 4th!
We had a lovely time. The location is perfect - right on the water with kayaks, a row boat and a paddle boat to use. It's also close of tons of fun things to do in the fingerlakes. The host is very nice and check-in was easy.
We absolutely loved our stay here! The cottage was perfect for two, very clean and comfortable. Check in was great and Bob was a wonderful host. We were looking for a quiet place to disconnect from the world and this was a great place to do just that. We hope to have the opportunity to stay again soon.
Absolutely perfect spot for a quiet lake front getaway! Steps from shore, beautiful sunsets and view. Very clean & well maintained property. Will 100% book this place in the future! Perfectly located to restaurants & wineries on the East side of the lake.
The cottage is a sweet little place, perfectly situated so anything you may want to do around the lake is only a short drive away. It was clean, had all the essentials, and Bob was only a text message away if we needed anything.
This place is in such a great location- tons of great wineries and breweries minutes away! And the views are absolutely amazing. The cabin itself was very no frills, bathroom is tiny and not sure more than 2 people would have been comfortable. But we had excellent weather so spent most of the time outside, and there's a grill which was a nice bonus.
This is a very nice place to stay. Owners are great. Didn't have any issues with anything at the property. Very cozy, quiet, wildlife, wifi is available, easy access, close to lots of vineyards, shade tree with lawn furniture and everything you need in the retreat. Was nice there wasn't a tv. You have a perfect view of the lake from the cozy couch. Lots of mirrors so getting ready was a breeze and quick. Definitely would love to stay again.
I did enjoy my stay. A few hiccups with parking and could have used more towels for 5 nights. But overall very clean and enjoyed the boats that were available.
My wife and I spent a long weekend at this place and enjoyed every minute of it. We especially liked sitting by the fire along the shoreline. The host had a variety of watercraft available to take out. The views from the shore were very pretty.
It should be noted that there is no TV. It wasn't missed, but we were surprised at it's absence.
Another amazing experience (despite a power outage)
This was our third consecutive year staying here. It is so peaceful. There was a huge storm the first evening that knocked out the power for a day. We still had an amazing time. Bob compensated us one day which was super kind. We will be back in 2025.
We really enjoyed our Finger Lakes stay at this property. There are many great places to visit nearby and we were also able to get into Watkins Glen, Geneva, and over to Keuka Lake without much trouble. The waterfront aspect was the real winning element. We felt very private, we used the kayaks, and we built fires in the fire pit two of the nights. We did have a maintenance issue during our stay, but Bob came over immediately and made things right.
A hidden gem, quaint, cozy with lake waterfront views
We love Seneca lake and never really get to this side of lake and usually do aB&B. This weekend we wanted something different, something of our own, relaxing-at our pace and we definitely got that!
We were greeted by Bob w a bottle of đ·as a thank you and very impressed w the cottage, spacious enough for 2 with all up to date amenities/furnishings. From the breathtaking view, coziness, soft towels, dual coffeemaker for pot or kcups, very clean, heat/ac, roomy shower, outdoor seating to have a morning coffee or đ·sunset... and no TV was awesome to unplug close to many winieries,breweries,places to eat.
This was an awesome time and will definitely be back -hopefully annually đđ·đ đ¶ to use more of whatâs offered
Thank you !!!
The location was very nice and the area was very peaceful with easy access to wine trails and state parks. However, we were disappointed and shocked in the fact that the owners took away part of our security deposit for leaving a mess on the oven which was absolutely not true because we cleaned up after ourselves. The property could have used more essentials like sugar, spices, cutting board, a bigger fridge so we can easily prepare our own meals there and maybe heavy duty cleaniing supplies if that's what they wanted us to do when departing.
We booked Bob's place very last minute. (We had to cancel another vacation due to illness)Our primary objective was to stay on the water. This place was perfect for that! You can look out of the bedroom or living room windows and there it is! Beautiful Seneca Lake! And we loved having access to the kayaks. Easy to put in and out of the water. We took them out multiple times a day, my favorite time being sunset. It was so peaceful and secluded. After kayaking at sunset, we came back and watched the glow set behind the hills in the Adirondack chairs while sipping some local bourbon. This was exactly what we needed to completely relax. The place itself is very basic, but, it provided what we needed. We needed a couple of extra items (an extra blanket and towel), but a quick text to Bob and he ran them down to us. The only drawback are the stairs. Others have mentioned them and they are for real, 42 of them. Most difficult was packing up to leave and taking everything up. Pace yourself. We would stop 2/3 of the way up and admire the view ;) Having said that, the stairs are very well maintained and safe. The location on Seneca Lake is awesome! Super close to several wineries and a great distillery, as well as a few restaurants (Stonecat and Elf in the Oak were our favs). And not too far from Watkins Glen as well. We were very pleased with our vacation and we were relaxed when we left. :)
This property accommodated me and my husband well. Really enjoyed the fire ring and cooking outside on the grill, along with direct lake access. The owner Bob was great. We had a slight problem with the bathroom, but Bob was on it, correcting it immediately. Great location, and owner will take care of your needs, should anything arise.
