Escape to "HERON HIDEAWAY," nestled on the scenic west side of Lamoka Lake on an over-sized, private lot with over 135' of LEVEL LAKEFRONT. At this secluded, cozy, & economical 2BR getaway, you'll enjoy the enclosed porch, outdoor furniture, fire pit, and PRIVATE DOCK. A canoe and tandem kayak are provided for your use.
Inside, you'll find a fully equipped kitchen with everything you need for preparing meals at the lake, plus a toaster, microwave, coffee pot and Keurig, as well as dining table and chairs.
The NEWLY UPDATED living room area has a brand new sleeper sofa that pulls out into QUEEN size bed, chair, & rocker. Indoor entertainment with flat screen TV, DVD/BLU-RAY player, and plenty of movies, board games, cards & puzzles.

The enclosed porch comes with a rocker, additional seating, & coffee table, that give you a great view of the yard and lake.

Comes with a picnic table, outdoor grill, outdoor furniture, hammock, and fire-pit. The DOCK is perfect for your boat, or you can use the kayak and canoe provided (life vests also provided).

About the host
Hosted by Kelli Hoffman
NEW OWNERS! The Hoffmans live in Lancaster County, PA but fell in love with the Finger Lakes when they visited for the first time back in 2013. They are outdoor enthusiasts and enjoy hiking, fishing and paddling along with their two American Alsatians, Windy & Odin.
Why they chose this property
We chanced upon Heron Hideaway on our first ever vacation to the Finger Lakes, and enjoyed the cottage as renters. While the whole area is beautiful, we loved Lamoka Lake right away, because it's perfect for fishing and paddling our canoes and kayaks. When we returned years later and had the opportunity to purchase the cottage, it was a no-brainer.
What makes this property unique
We've never stayed in a place that was so peaceful and relaxing. Who doesn't love a cozy little cottage where you can wake up and enjoy a beautiful view of the lake from the porch with your morning coffee? Sure we're biased, but we believe it's one of the best lots on the entire lake - beautiful views, private, a great dock and excellent fishing. We hope you'll love it as much as we do!
