Phenomenal!!

We decided to go to the Finger Lakes at the last minute and found this charming cottage right on Seneca Lake through VRBO. The communication from the host was exceptional. Kathy was prompt, friendly, and incredibly helpful. The moment we walked in the door we felt at home. The cottage is cute, cozy, clean and comfortable! Property is in a fantastic location. The views and sunrises at the cottage are spectacular! The fire pit was one of our favorite places to hang out at night. We cannot say enough good things about the host, property, and location. Thank you for sharing your extraordinary cottage with us and for making our first visit to the Finger Lakes so memorable. We hope to stay again! Oh, and we had absolutely no issues with the heat in the cottage the three nights we stayed here, and the nighttime temps were around 35-40 degrees (Fahrenheit). Thanks again! Warmest regards...Barbara, Bill and Zach

Perfect Location on the Lake

This cottage is the perfect location on the lake and we have enjoyed a relaxing stay here several times. The cottage has everything we could need and wonderful lake views as well as access to the lake on the private dock. It's also a great location close to many of the area's wineries.

Classic Cozy Lake Cottage!!

Great place and has everything you need. If there was rain we just enjoyed the screened porch or hung out under the gazebo. Beds were comfortable and this place is just right for a couple looking for a getaway. The bald eagles nest behind the cottage was a bonus and south Plum Point Road offered amazing views of the lake, flowers birds and wildlife. We would definitely stay again. ❤️

We REALLY enjoyed our stay here, especially the screened-in porch!! Loved the lighthouse too!! The only thing concerning was the “funky-smelling” water from the faucets and shower.

Charming cottage with beautiful views!

The purrfect place to relax and explore the area. Greatly appreciated host allowing our beloved cat to join the trip! The cottage was very clean and fully equipped with anything you needed, cooking or playing games. The screened porch kept the bugs out and fresh air flowing - we all enjoyed the porch, w/lake views, and watched sunrise one morning. Although it rained during our trip, the outdoor area is something we would have used, with firepit and comfortable seating with spectacular views. Nice garden areas to explore which felt very private. Wonderful and communicative host answered all our questions. She made us feel at home and we respected the history and love found in this charming family cottage. Well water tasted very good. Nice hot showers. Full size washer/dryer. Everything (and more) that you will find in other rentals. Couldn't have asked for a better vacation. We hope to return again! Thank you for hosting us!!
