1 bed/ba lakeside cottage, large deck, west side of Seneca Lake. Pet Friendly!

This lakeside cozy, 698 square feet of cottage has drive-up access and will put a smile on your face. A gorgeous two level deck will ensure you get panoramic lake view for a beautiful Seneca Lake sunrise and offers shade or sun for your afternoon relaxation. This cottage, originally built as officer barracks on Sampson Air Force Station, then upon base closure sold and relocated to its current location (currently the Sampson State Park is located directly east across the lake).

After descending 15 steps off the deck you can enjoy 105 feet of frontage choosing between natural-sloped shale beach or 60 linear feet of flat lawn created by a break wall. Enjoy time on the pile-driven, 100 ft trex dock with an enlarged platform for lounging at the end.

The Stowaway is less than two miles north of Fox Run Vineyards, in the heart of the Seneca Lake wine country. It is located seven miles south of Geneva, within two miles of Smokin' Pete's Barbeque, four miles south of Roy’s Marina, Port’s Restaurant, Vonnie’s Boathouse. It is 28 miles north of Watkins Glen. There are 3 short term rentals within walking distance of this property owned by different owners but may be available for different groups.

I’ve been the owner of this family property since 2002 and lived in this cottage for four years. I loved the sunrises from the dock and a quiet night on the deck over looking the sunset. In 2014, I had wonderful experiences with guests from all over the northeast through VRBO. I then was in a position to help a good friend who needed a place to stay year round. Fortunately for him he purchased a new home! That means he has moved out of the area and this cottage is back available. I am excited to get back into working with you on creating the best time during your visit to the Finger Lakes!

This property is alongside the Finger Lakes railway line. This is an active rail line with trains passing by up to several times a day sounding horns during the day and night - weekends are usually not active. This line runs the length of Seneca Lake on the west side so any property along this side of the lake will be affected. There is a 7 mph speed limit for vehicles driving on Locust Grove. This is not an ideal property for toddlers, please be aware of the large drop from the deck.

This property is not handicap accessible.

Well behaved pets allowed with a non-refundable deposit. The cleaning fee can be 100% refunded if the property is left as it was found.

I accept payment through this site, Paypal or check (if it's far enough in advance) or money order/cashier's check.

I look forward to working with you!

Sweet House-Perfect Location

We had a wonderful stay at this sweet house on Seneca Lake. The house was spotless and thoughtfully furnished—perfect for a relaxing getaway. Evenings on the deck enjoying the panoramic view of the lake quickly became our favorite ritual. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the bed was comfortable. Thank you for allowing us to bring our dog. We appreciated the doggie bags and many hooks by the door.The location was ideal—just a short drive to charming wineries, local restaurants, and hiking trails. Best of all, the private lake access made it easy to go for a peaceful paddle (Reagan's Kayaks delivered right to the house) or simply unwind by the water with a good book. The host was responsive and kind, and the neighbors were friendly and helpful.We left feeling refreshed and already talking about when we might return. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet, scenic stay in the Finger Lakes!

Wonderful stay

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The house was very clean, cozy, and comfortable inside, everything worked perfectly and felt thoughtfully arranged. The deck and grill were fantastic, and we spent a lot of time enjoying the beautiful views and peaceful surroundings. The firepit was a great touch for eveningsThis place is ideal for a small group (up to 4 people) or even better for a romantic getaway. It’s tucked away just enough to feel private, but it’s also super close to dozens of great wineries in the area.Highly recommended if you’re looking for a relaxed, scenic stay in the Finger Lakes region.

Gem on the Lake

Perfectly sitauted right on the East side of Seneca Lake, about 10 minutes South of Geneva. This small home is perfect for a couple or family of four to experience the full magic of the Finger Lakes! The yard is rather large leading out to a long dock. The deck is very big and accomodating. But the surprise of the weekend was the sunrise! Its also just minutes from two legendary restaurants Smokin Petes and Ports Cafe. Consider thos property for your next FLX experience!

Charmer on Seneca

Very nice location on Seneca Lake. Property was clean and well stocked. View across the lake was beautiful although weather prevented us from sitting out as much as possible. Driving down the single lane road was challenging as twice there were work trucks blocking the road that were challenging to squeeze by.

Perfect Fall Weekend

Came with my best friend and our 2 little dogs. The property was a fantastic location on the lake. Maryanne let us know all we needed to before arrival and made sure to leave a few little extras to make our stay comfortable. The neighbors were so nice and the dogs were friendly. Our dogs had fun playing with them and one showed up on the deck looking for more treats one morning. Such a sweetheart. We were so blessed with beautiful weather for the perfect fall experience at the wineries and the views are spectacular with the leaves changing. Would definitely love to come back again for a longer stay.

Right on the water. About 20 steps down to a new dock. The train does run close to the house, but very slowly and not very long. The resident neighbors were nice. Upon check in, I noticed there was no toaster. The owner brought over a new one in about an hour! Would stay again for sure.

Nice cottage in a great location

Overall, the cottage was nice! The view of the lake is amazing and the communication with the property owner was great. My first night the grill was out of propane and Maryanne brought me a new tank within 20 minutes. My only comment for suggestions would be to bug proof the cottage. I don't mind some bugs and of course being on the water I expect it but there were so many bugs to the point that I thought maybe a window was left open. Other than that, everything was perfect!
