About this property

We have 50' frontage on the northeast side of Lamoka lake. Great sunsets and sun all day long.

The lake house is interestingly furnished with collectables and art work. Soft pastel key west paint colors. Lots of large windows with lake views.

We have 4 bdrms now...... one with a king,
one with a queen, and one with a full.
There is a futon and couch in the living room.

The bathroom has a newly refinished claw tub and a shower. A 2nd bathroom will be ready soon.

We are 12 miles from Watkins Glen, and there are at least 70 to 80 wineries within a 50 mile radius.

We are newly listed so let yours be some of our first reviews.

We are pet friendly and there is an additional one time pet fee not included in booking fee. ($75 per pet).

We are on a private road with very friendly neighbors...... a great spot for lakeside walks, kayaking, canoeing, swimming, boating, ...etc.

Check us out and your return will be very likely.

Thanks, Ron.

Ron Golden Pond

Our family loved staying here for a week. We. hated leaving. It was clean, quiet and well equipped for a family. The kids loved the blue gills around the dock and I enjoyed the deck. I could watch the lake all day!

Great Location!

We really enjoyed the privacy of this property! Everything was just as expected. Plenty of room for the 6 of us! Dock was excellent, water was clear with no weeds, and Ron, the host, was readily available if anything was needed.

Yearly family vacation

It was wonderful. My grandsons can now jump off dock. We were lucky and weather was great. Ron stopped by to see if all was good. He is a good host and told us about the swamp with turtles and a good restaurant.Will rent again.

Fantastic lake access

This property is a "work in progress" as described by other reviews. A second bathroom is being completed, and various small details around the house are incomplete, but we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The house was well stocked with everything you could need. The eclectic decorating style was interesting . And there's a Dollar General only a mile or two away for anything you have forgotten to bring. Ron was nearby and available if needed. The best part of this property is the outside space. The house is on a dead end road, so little traffic. There is a generous amount of lake front, with a fire ring that we used every day. There's plenty of firewood available for purchase nearby if you need to. And a sturdy dock made it easy to launch the canoe and kayaks. The lake is beautiful and we spent many hours on it. The sunsets were lovely. There is an air conditioner in the house that cools the main area but we only used it for a couple days and one evening because the newer bedroom did not have window screens. Other than that, there is a lovely breeze that flows through the house and the nights usually got down into the 60's, making it very comfortable. This area has so much to offer within a short driving distance and we didn't begin to cover it in our one week visit. Ron's place will certainly be memorable as the centerpiece to a wonderful vacation.

Perfect Location

Our stay at Ron’s cottage was lovely. Everything we needed was there for us. The location is beautiful and was very convenient to museums in Corning, Watkins Glen and finger lake wineries. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Fabulous getaway!

We rented this lake house for a full week and loved every minute of it. It was about 15 min from Watkins Glen/Seneca area. There were lots of things to do for day trips that did not require alot of travel time. The house was a great location, on Lamoka Lake. I gave the cleanliness 3 stars because that was the only part that was a little disappointing. The host had called early and said the cleaning lady was done early and we could go in if arrived early - that was super nice and considerate of him. When we arrived, first appearance was house was fairly clean. However, the floors felt gritty and one place was slippery (outside the bathroom) and appeared almost oily. The fridge had stuck on debris on most of the shelving so we cleaned it before placing anything in it. The kitchen towels looked very well used, as well as the bathroom towels. We went to Walmart and bought new kitchen towels and bath towels. The bedrooms and beds were very clean. The house was very homey and comfortable. The property around the house was nice - nice small patio to sit and look out on lake. Steps were nice to the small dock. There were two kayaks, a canoe, and a paddleboard available for use. There was a nice fire pit and there are many roadside firewood stands to purchase wood. I will say, the house appears to be a house in remodeling process...there is a second bath construction, some door molding rot, most windows have been replaced but older ones exist, and there are just minor cosmetic things that would enhance the look of the house if were completed. The property around the house is small with little yard area if children staying. One side of the property is cluttered with stuff. There were two old masks laying in the driveway that we picked up and threw away. The shower is very small if a larger person using it. Bathroom has a nice large clawfoot tub. There are ceiling fans in the bedrooms and kitchen and living room. Area was quiet. Overall, house was nice, location and views were great, and would definitely stay again!

Lovely winter getaway

Ron is a great host! The property is just as he described. It's so homey with interesting art and collectibles throughout. My boyfriend and I were looking for a little winter getaway and we couldn't be happier with our trip. The lake is beautiful (even covered in snow). We enjoyed a quiet long weekend with our dogs. We both hope that we get a chance to visit again so we can enjoy all the property has to offer during lake season.

Great lakefront property

We enjoyed renting this property. The lakefront views from both the back patio and dock were amazing. We used the included kayaks and canoes, and fishing from the dock was pretty good also. The location is also within a 15 drive to the larger Keuka Lakeside activities and restaurants and also within 20-25 mins of Watkins Glen gorge trail and the Seneca Lake vineyards. It is a great property for kids. Note the house is 4 bedrooms and the owner is working on adding a second bathroom.

Summertime Dreams Come True!

My husband and I are so happy we were able to stay at Ron's Golden Pond for our anniversary weekend. Being able to check in by ourselves with the key code and start our stay without any hesitation was great. The property is right on the lake which was very inviting. We took full advantage of kayaks, canoe and huge floating devises to enjoy the entire lake which is gorgeous. Caught lots of little fish right off the dock including one 2lb small mouth bass! The cottage was super homey and had everything we needed and when we told Ron that we forgot our sound system he promptly came by to the rescue with a portable speaker for us. The bonfire pit gave us many nights of glowing entertainment that could only be matched by the star lit sky. We are looking forward to our next visit to Ron's Golden Pond all ready! Thank you for having us!

Beautiful and Peaceful Vacation Rental

We really enjoyed our week at this beautiful house on the Lamoka Lake. The lake provided the perfect playground for kids and a tranquil, relaxing setting for the adults. The sunset was magical. There were plenty of parks & waterfalls for day hikes. The evening barbecue & camp fire, along with some beers, made for great evenings. The owner, Ron, was very attentive, helpful and kind. The house are also equipped with kayaks, canoe which are definitely a plus for us to enjoy the lake. Overall, this was a perfect vacation loved by all.
