The bonus with renting this property is it's not just a cottage, it's a home with a small yard, dock, 2 decks, 2 kayaks, full working kitchen, grill, firepit, 3 private bedrooms, and soooo many spaces to enjoy friends and family. The lake frontage you will enjoy in several ways starting with the incredible views from being right on Lake Cayuga. My favorite are the sunrises as we look almost directly east. But, sunsets with the clouds and the reflection off the water are also awesome, plus the upper decks get comfortable afternoon shade. Perhaps enjoy a refreshing dip all summer long off your dock. We provide kayaks, paddles, lifejackets, and fishing poles. You might want to take a moment and enjoy a few casts with a chance to catch a big one. Or maybe bring your boat (or rent one) and take your friends out and enjoy some water skiing, it’s a true all sports lake after all. There’s even a fire pit in the yard or upper deck for bonfires on cold evenings. My wife loves sitting on the deck with friends and playing cards while I grill and everyone gets to take in the feels and some amazing local wines. Speaking of wines, there are over 20+ wineries within 20 minutes of the house, and 100+ within an hr. Plus, there’s breweries, distilleries, dispensaries, and even a cheese farm nearby and all this is open all year round. Not to mention the small-town, Seneca Falls, famous for being the backdrop to the Hollywood classic “It’s A Wonderful Life” is just a few minutes’ drive away. It has over 15 bars and restaurants plus numerous shops, it’s a great outing while you are here. Or if you want other small-town options, there are several small towns nearby that are all awesome in their own right: Geneva, Auburn, Watkins Glen, Ithaca just to name a few. If gabling is your thing, there are also a few casinos nearby. The del Largo Resort & Casino is 12 minutes away, has a full-service casino: all the table games, slots, sportsbook, spa, bars, nightclub, and music hall featuring great performers with household names. If you want something a little smaller, we are walking distance to Lakeside Entertainment (slots only). On the other side of things, there are sooo many options to enjoy the outdoors besides the lake. We are just a few houses down from the state park which has a boat launch, sandy beach, & awesome pirate ship playground for the kids. We are a 3 min drive to the Seneca Falls Country Club with renown golf and amazing lake views and it's open to the public. Want world class waterfalls and hiking, look no further than the south ends of the lake. Watkins Glen and Taughannock Falls (largest waterfall this side of the Mississippi) are incredible to see, hike and even swim. Plus, Finger Lakes National Forest about 30 min south has more hiking than anyone could do on a weekend. Back at the Cottage: Once you step inside our home you will notice the entire east side is a sliding glass door bringing in tons of natural light illuminating the complete open layout and showing off the lake views all day every day. Honestly, it’s why we bought the house. And, with several areas to sit, relax, mingle, cook, eat, play cards, whatever you fancy, it’s a great spot to enjoy some time away from home. The new kitchen with quartz counter has an island for entertaining, full oven, full fridge, and even a wine and coffee station. This open room leads right to the upper deck and the views continue. Back inside, there is an updated full bath with stand-up shower. The sleeping arrangement in the house consists of 3 private bedrooms each with one bed (queen, double, double), nightstands, luggage rack, mirror, hangers, and windows. Plus, back in the great room the couch pulls out to a queen bed too. We even have a pack and play for a little one. The majority of the house was just rebuilt 5 years ago so it doesn’t feel like an old cottage, it feels like a new home with all the amenities like air that come with it. Outside, there is also a nice deck right outside the door of the cottage with several sitting areas and a grill so you can relax in a variety of ways. It's a perfect birds eye view of Cayuga Lake looking east. And there is a lower deck right before you get to the dock down by the water which is a great spot for coffees or an afternoon cocktail:) Or take the steps down and cool off in the pristine waters of the lake. Just bring yourself and your clothes and enjoy...We provide all the essentials. We have cork screws, bottle openers, pots, pans, grills with propane, and even coffee. Plus, we have basic toiletries too: Towels, TP, paper towels, soap, shampoo, conditioner, dish soap & hairdryer are all provided. We provide clean sheets, blankets and pillows. There's even smart tv so you can login to your favorite streaming service to watch a movie or a big game. We tried to think of everything, and are always trying to improve for our guests. FYI- Docks at this end of the lake are seasonal. If you have any other questions on our little home away from home or the area, please just reach out, I won’t bite:) Look forward to hosting you, your family and friends soon! Guest access The entire cottage and grounds from the lake to the road is yours to enjoy. Other things to note FYI- Docks at this end of the lake are seasonal.
