About this property

Beautiful Views, Sunrises, Pet Friendly, Comfortable!

Welcome to "Peace of Haven" ~ This cozy cottage offers you peace and serenity! Sit back and enjoy the view of the lake while having a cup of coffee or glass of wine, read a book and lounge in one of our cushioned loungers. The coziness of the home can't be expressed through the pictures - it truly is a little piece of heaven as soon as you enter the home and you feel the tension of life fade away.

Mesmerizing sunrise pours into your bedroom window with the gift of a new day. Spend your day relaxing with a book, kayaking, fishing, exploring the many amenities of the area including winery, brewery & cheese tours, shopping, walking the Glen, hiking & biking trails, skiing, golfing, enjoy the newly built casino, Watkins Glen Raceway and a variety of restaurants.

Wind back down from the day to enjoy dinner from the grill and dining on the deck overlooking the lake. Head down to the beach by the lake for a crackling fire in the pit to wrap up the day. As the sun sets, experience the moon dancing on the lake and the serene feel of the lake lightly crashing along the shore.

As soon as you turn down our private lane, you'll transition to the feeling of peacefulness. The cottage is on a dead end street limiting traffic to the locals. There is plenty of parking that can accommodate up to six cars. Easy access to the cottage with a level lot makes unpacking a breeze. Upon entering the cottage, you'll feel the warmth and coziness of the home with lake views and a bright open floor plan.

Our home offers 2 bedrooms with queen sized beds and pillow top mattresses, pull out couch with queen memory foam mattress, 2 full bathrooms, and a separate laundry room. A fully stocked kitchen will provide you with everything you need to cook an amazing meal for your family. The kitchen has plenty of cupboard and counter space for easy meal preparation. A full pantry is available for your personal food. Dining area includes room for 6 or serve dinner on the deck while enjoying the amazing lake view. The living room is spacious and has comfortable seating. On a cold winter's night, cozy up in the rocker, turn on the fireplace and watch the snow gently falling over the lake offering an entirely new experience!

Head down to the beach and enjoy some fishing off the dock, take a swim to cool off, sit around the fire pit, play a few yard games or just grab a lounger and soak up the sun.

Our home offers high speed internet, satellite TV, television in the master bedroom & streaming TV in the living room, fully stocked kitchen, grill, yard games, corn hole, board games, puzzles, a small library of books, DVD's & VHS's, 2 kayaks w/life vests, small variety of swimming floats, fishing poles.

We are conveniently located half way on the west side of the lake so a drive in either direction to Geneva or Watkins Glen is convenient. Penn Yan is about 8 miles away and offers shopping, restaurants, grocery store & gas. Variety of restaurants, wineries and breweries to choose from.

You will absolutely love enjoying some down time at our cottage ~

Couldn’t dreamed of anything better

We had an absolutely incredible stay at this fantastic cottage and can’t recommend it highly enough! From start to finish, the communication with the host was exceptional—she was so gracious, welcoming, and went out of her way to accommodate even our smaller, special needs. Her thoughtfulness shone through in every detail, with special touches throughout the house that truly made our stay unforgettable. The location is unbeatable, nestled right in the middle of Seneca Lake, making it the perfect home base for exploring the area. And when we came back in the evenings, the quiet neighborhood felt like a tranquil sanctuary—a perfect retreat to recharge. The house itself is stunning, with breathtaking views that can’t be overstated. Waking up to those sunrises from the huge windows in the living room and primary bedroom was a daily highlight. The heated bathroom floors were another unexpected luxury, making mornings so much cozier. We also appreciated the clear and helpful instructions throughout the house—they made everything easy and stress-free. It’s clear the host has thought of everything to make guests feel welcome and comfortable. If you’re looking for a stay that combines thoughtful hospitality, stunning views, and a peaceful location, this is the place to book!

Very picturesque, quant and romantic

The property is a nice cabin on Seneca Lake. It is comfortable for four but would be suitable for six. We went in the wintertime so we could only imagine how much fun it would be in the summer! The cabin was clean and kitchen was well-stocked with basic cooking supplies. It also other amenities such as has a washer & dryer, and pet beds. We're thinking of going back in the summer.

A lovely stay on Seneca Lake

An absolutely wonderful property on Seneca. The location is perfect. We were treated to a beautiful sunrise every morning across the lake. It was well appointed, updated, and everything worked well. I especially enjoyed feeding the birds with the included bird seed! If you are look for a small cottage in the Finger Lakes, I highly recommend this stay.

One of the best places we stayed!

My husband, myself, and our dog stayed for a long weekend. Beautiful, lakeside cottage in a great location on Seneca. Close to everything and far enough from the main road that there was no traffic noise. Very peaceful. Very clean!! We will rent there again.

This house was a great place to stay for the week. Plus we could take our pups along. They were so good. Very clean and had everything we needed. Located right in Seneca Lake. Convenient to all wineries. Close to Watkins Glen but due to the rain we weren't and to go. We still had a wonderful time.

About the host

Hosted by Nancy Kreider

Host profile image
As a native Finger Lakes girl, my husband Troy and I decided to purchase a lake home that we can enjoy when visiting family and friends and share with others. Troy and I have two girls who are both married and we reside in Lancaster PA. We love dogs and know how important your fur child is for traveling and have made our cottage pet friendly. We ourselves have a Golden Retriever and two Cavalier King Charles who are our empty nester babies. Troy is a Senior Project Manager for a construction company and I am a Realtor for Coldwell Banker. We truly hope you love our little heaven on earth as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this property the first time we saw it! Looking at the pictures didn't do the home justice until we physically walked in and felt the cozy atmosphere of the cottage, the serene surroundings and the peacefulness outside and the views are to die for! We absolutely loved the view, the easy access to the property, dead end street, plenty of parking, the open floor plan of the inside and the many amenities it offered overall. We love the kitchen and the amount of counter space and cabinets it offered and everything was very updated. The gas fireplace is our dream come true as we enjoy the warm fire while watching the snow fall on the lake. The morning sunrises are absolutely gorgeous and when the moon is above it dances on the lake & creates its own magical experience. In the warm months the deck is so relaxing and we've tried very hard to make the furniture comfortable for our guests.

We recommend stopping into the Spotted Duck for some ice cream - it's DELICIOUS! Also check out the Keuka Lake Outlet Trail which you can ride your bike to Dresden and pick it up there! Check out some local wineries and their wine and food tastings.

What makes this property unique

The view itself is amazing! The beautiful dock, beach front area, boat house and fire pit are just a few of the amenities this home has to offer. The outside is spacious and you don't feel like you're on top of the neighbors and offers privacy. The deck offers space & views as well as a gate to confine your pet or children without worry. The inside is spacious, bright and open and the bedrooms are roomy enough with plenty of closet space. The kitchen has plenty of cabinets and counters and pantry to store your food for your stay. The bathrooms are updated and the laundry room is wonderful to keep the dogs or store your things. Our location is truly the best! We are just a little over half way up the lake so you can go in either direction and be there pretty quick! We are also right in the heart of wine country so take your pick of wineries or breweries to visit as well as cheese tours! Our road is fully paved until you reach our lane, which makes going in and out easy. We live on a dead end street so there is no traffic other than local traffic and we have more than enough parking. Our home has a flat yard so going from the car to the house is easy! Steps down to the lake are solid and we had steel stairs made to lead into the lake for easy in and out for you and your pets.
