About this property

Stevens Lane Getaway- - On the Lake - Lamoka Lake

Our "tr-otttage" is steps to the water on a flat lawn - no hills to climb. We have a firepit with plenty of free firewood for your evenings by the fire, along with a row boat, paddle boat and four kayaks for your water enjoyment. If you would like to bring your own boat, we have a dock to tie it to. We are ideally located between Watkins Glen, Penn Yan, Corning and Hammondsport - "Coolest Small Town in America!'

Lamoka Lake is a smaller lake amongst New York's Finger Lakes, noted as "One of New York's Best Kept Secrets." We are nestled between Seneca Lake and Keuka Lake. Lamoka Lake is excellent for fishing, boating, tubing, water skiing, and kayaking, along with any other lake activity you enjoy. The Getaway is in an ideal location to watch the Osprey and Bald Eagles fish. Sometimes you may see a beaver or otter, but always an incredible view of the water.

We are within 15-20 minutes of Watkins Glen State park, Watkins Glen International Speedway, The Windmill Farm and Craft Market, Seneca Lake Wine Trail, Keuka Lake Wine Trail, Corning Glass Museum, among many other local attractions. There are many hiking and biking trails close by.

It is very peaceful as you relax on the deck. We have 2 bedrooms (1 queen bed/1 full size bed) both with new Biltmore® Hotel Collection Mattress Toppers and a new queen sleeper sofa in the living room. There is a full bathroom with a new shower, and the kitchen is equipped with a microwave, toaster, coffee maker, gas stove, refrigerator and a Keurig Coffee maker, along with dishes, pots and pans. We limit our guest number to 6 guests, additional guests require pre-approval.

Outside accommodations include a dock for your fishing activities or to tie your boat, a fire pit, picnic table, charcoal barbecue grill, small gas grill and a small deck with table and seating. For your water enjoyment, we have available a paddle boat, row boat and 4 kayaks. Firewood is available on site for free.

Bring your Fishing Gear!

***In order to keep our prices down, we do request that you bring your own sheets and towels. (This is a traditional lake rental feature.) If you prefer not to, or you forget them, we will have them available with a laundry fee attached.

Please contact us with any questions. We look forward to meeting you.

Away from it all

We had such a great stay here for a week. Being right on the lake brought the four of us the peace and quiet we were all hoping for. Two of us could get cell service and two of us couldn't. My husband and I never missed our phones once. It was just so nice to be steps away from the water. There were kayaks for us to use, paddle boat and a row boat. We used all of them. And that great country fresh air led to some great naps and sleeping. We only ventured out a few days. Lot's of things to do in the area. Our hosts were very gracious and so fun to talk to. We had a great time. So quaint and cozy. Thanks so much

Cozy place at the lake.

My family enjoyed staying at the Getaway for a week. The location a few steps from a dock made the stay fun. The boats that came with the rental kept my sons and I busy exploring the lake and fishing. We all enjoyed the view.

Peaceful, great views, not so good swimming

Owners George and Sally are fantastic hosts. We felt very welcome and they took care of all our needs/requests/inquiries. My grandchildren even found great friends with their grandchildren. The property is very peaceful with lots of great views of nature. Fishing off the dock was fun for the grandkids. Even though the online advertisement of the property does not provide details about swimming (other than swimming listed as "nearby activities" available) be warned that the water is very mucky, weeds/seaweed and lily pads and a swampy odor make it an unpleasant swimming area. We would stay at this location again if we plan on another visit to the area. Overall, the whole family had a wonderful, restful, friendly stay at the "Trottage". ~The Stevens Family

Perfect for nature lovers

Two friends and I stayed at Sally and George’s rustic camp “Getaway.” Our beds were comfortable, we enjoyed the openness of the kitchen/living room area as well as the many updates to it. We thoroughly enjoyed eating on the deck while we watched Herons, Eagles and Ospreys soar over the lake. One morning a Heron was sitting right on the front dock! The camp is so peaceful and serene. It was so nice to kayak directly on the lake using the provided kayaks. Watkins Glen and Hammondsport are a short drive…we hiked through the gorgeous WG State Park and loved the shops in Hammondsport, too. We truly enjoyed our time at Lake Lamoka. If you love nature, this spot will be perfect for you!

The perfect "Trottage"

George and Sally are great hosts! If you are looking for a little piece of happiness right on the lake, this is the place. We stayed for a week, kids had a blast catching bass/blue gill/pickrel right off the dock. Lots of memories were made.

Cute trottage!

We had a good time at the trottage as Sally and George call it. It was a small, cute little place that was clean, provided all the needed amenities, and was a nice place to stay in overall. The trottage is located off of Lamoka Lake on a place called mud creek. There was quite a bit of algae on the water and the weeds were pretty high. We didn’t swim in the water, but we enjoyed sitting out near the fire and enjoying the fresh air. Walkins Glen is nearby which allows for hiking, swimming at the pool, and good restaurants! Jerlando’s was great, awesome pizza! The Switzerland is the closet restaurant to the trottage and the food was amazing! I definitely think we’d come back for another trip. Thank you Sally and George!

Rest and relaxation

My family wanted to explore the different trails, waterfalls and parks in the area. I booked this place because it is right on a lake and offered kayaking, a row boat and paddleboat for the days we just wanted to lounge around. The place was 15-30 minutes from where we wanted to go. The place is quiet and so relaxing. We had a great time.

Everything was clean and very accessible - kayaks and boats are right there for use, and everything you need is there and easy to be comfortable - it's an instant vacation!

About the host

Hosted by Sally and George Walmsley

We are very excited to invite you to share our "Little Piece of Heaven."

Why they chose this property

George has been on Lamoka Lake since he was 12 years old. Once you get Lamoka in your system, it's impossible to get it out! He built his home here 15 years ago, and recently we were able to purchase this property that adjoins ours. We have renovated it to give you the opportunity to share our "Little Piece of Heaven!" This location is more private than the main part of the lake, giving you the chance to relax and see many beautiful forms of wildlife, along with enjoying the lake activities.

What makes this property unique

We were so excited to be able to purchase this property. It is so close to the lake, the views are absolutely incredible. Early mornings you may see misty fog rise from the lake, or anytime, a great blue heron fishing by the dock; all while enjoying the peaceful serenity of the location.
