Description
Nestled in the trees, overlooking Seneca Lake and next to a glen, you will love our beautiful lake and sunset views and falling asleep to the sound of trickling water. The large private beach and boat dock are a rarity in the area. There is lots of room to wade from the shore into the refreshing cool water – or jump from the dock, in unison, on the count of 3, like we do! Bring your boat or rent one from one of the several nearby marinas. There is also a company that will brings kayak, canoes or paddleboards right to the cottage with all the necessary gear. Enjoy a BBQ on the beach at the picnic table or sitting around the fire bowl, late into the evening. It’s easy to stay in, making meals in the well-stocked kitchen but also fun to explore the many restaurants, breweries and wineries nearby. The Seneca Lake wine trail starts just up the road and Watkins Glen is less than 10 minutes away. Ithaca or Corning are both around 30 minutes and offer a wide variety of additional things to do; hiking trails, waterfalls, Corning glass museum, and of course more wineries!

The oldest part, we now call the front living room, opens onto a covered porch overlooking the lake. The original bunks were made of logs like the porch railings and were replaced years ago. We just can’t bring ourselves to eliminate them altogether. The kitchen with its wrap around windows, and small upstairs bedroom were added in the 30’s. The larger living/dining room in the back, added in the 70’s, has a fireplace & baseboard heating. The primary bedroom & kitchen have baseboard heat, too.
