About this property

Croft Cove: laid back home on Lamoka Lake with private lakefront

Welcome to Croft Cove on Lamoka Lake!  This comfortable 3 bedroom, 2 bath home sleeps 8 people and is just the right size for that perfect week or weekend on the lake.

This home has rich family history for multiple generations and has been updated to be a quaint and cozy lake house.  Located along a laid back lake road and in a small lakeside neighborhood, this spot is exactly what you would think of when you imagine a lakefront community.

The house has a deck that wraps around the house and overlooks the lake.  Walking in from the main entry on the side of the house, you'll enter the large living room area with windows that overlook the lake, comfortable couches, and plenty of space to play games or watch tv.

The Kitchen and Dining area are tucked behind the living room and the kitchen is fully stocked with cookware, dishes, appliances, etc.  The Kitchen has the cutest little coffee nook where you can brew your favorites.  The Dining area is part of the kitchen and has sliding doors out onto the deck where you can enjoy your meals al fresco at the outdoor dining table or grill your favorite meat on the gas grill.  The deck has a seating area as well and is that perfect spot for that cup of coffee.

There is a full bath on the main floor, just off of the kitchen with a tub/shower.

Upstairs you'll find the massive Master suite.  This bedroom has cathedral ceilings, large closets, huge windows looking out over the lake, a small office area, a King size bed and an additional queen bed to the side of the room.  This will be the room of choice for guests!   There is a large master bath attached to the suite, with a big walk-in shower and a double sink.  The Master suite also has it's own balcony with a set of french doors that opens out onto the balcony....the chosen spot for sunbathing or stargazing after the sun goes down.

Bedroom 2 has a Queen size bed and is just outside the hallway to the Master suite.  Bedroom 3 is located next to Bedroom 2 (at the top of the stairs) and has a King size bed.

Croft Cove has about 50 feet of it's own private lake frontage with a dock that you are welcome to use during your stay.  There is a firepit at the water's edge with a patio....a great spot for roasting some hot dogs or a few marshmallows with the kids.

Croft Cove is the perfect home for your weeklong vacation on the lake with family or friends, or that extended weekend getaway that you need in your life.  We look forward to having you stay!

Lakefront Getaway
Great lakefront home near lots of wineries, distilleries and breweries. Many local outdoor activities nearby not to mention the dock available right out the back door of this cute and comfortable lake house. We enjoyed the outside deck, fire pit and beautiful sunsets. We would definitely book again in the future. Just wish dogs were allowed we would utilize it more often.

Wonderful vacation getaway
Our blended family had a great time in this lovely lake cabin! Plenty of room for all 7 of us, with lots to do in the surrounding areas. The hosts clearly care a lot about this property, everything was clean and well maintained. They provided many ideas for nearby attractions (including wineries, of course). We would absolutely visit again!

Lake life
The description on the site does not do this cabin justice. The lake is absolutely beautiful and quiet. Even though our weather turned on us, it did not deter the enjoyment one minute. The deck views are gorgeous and we sat out there every moment that we could. The house is spotless, comfortable, and it’s obviously loved. I have nothing bad to say about this vacation experience at all. It was absolutely perfect for what we needed right now.

Wonderful First Time Experience
We had never been to the Finger Lakes before, but because of this home, we will be certain to visit again in the future. Our only “real” issue was the smoke detector going off at random times; once late at night, and once early in the morning. However, the communication during these occurrences was spectacular. We are extremely grateful for the hospitality.

Waterfall Whirlwind
The original plan for this trip was to see Niagara Falls, but I saw some photos a friend took at Watkins Glen, and decided I had to go there too 😊 Croft Cove was a great location! Near to Watkins Glen and Watkins Glen State Park, Buttermilk Falls SP, Taughannock Falls SP, and all the Ithaca waterfalls. All were beautiful as were the sunsets over Lamoka Lake after we returned from our adventures each evening. Everyone needs to visit Glen Dairy Barn for ice cream! Our only complaint is we wish we had stayed an extra day just to chill at the lake!

very nice
the house is nice. The master bedroom and bath is beautiful, with a fantastic view of the lake. We had bad weather, a lot of rain. We like to swim and spend most of our time in the water on this annual girls' vacation. We weren't able to do that here because of the weather. Also, there is a lot of green growth at the waters' edge, which made the swimming a little creepy. Still we enjoyed our time together in this house.

Very cozy, but needs a few updates
Just about everything about the property is as advertised, but there were a few things that could use replacement/fixing/updating. On the excellent front - it’s a very comfortable home and the views/location are astounding. We had a great time lounging, playing games, and enjoying the views. The kitchen is also well-stocked, and had everything we needed. On the not-so-good side, I’d start with the water. Be prepared for a strong metallic odor. Not uncommon for well water, but it’s not something that’s very clear upfront. It would be great if the bottled water dispenser had a bottle provided. The couch in the living room also needs replacing. It sinks significantly when you sit on it and seems to have a broken support from what I can tell. The king bed in the second bedroom is also turned the wrong way so that it will fit in the room. It makes it difficult to sleep on it for someone that’s six feet or taller, as your feet hang off of the end. Another downside of the iron in the water is that the shower in the master suite just doesn’t put out enough pressure. The shower heads could use a good soaking in a CLR solution, as maybe half of the holes were clogged and wouldn’t put out water. Lastly, don’t rely on the futon in the master suite for an additional bed unless you move the cushion to the floor. It will tip over if you pull it out and try to sleep on it (we tried to put our teenager on it and had to move it to the floor). Ultimately, this would be the perfect vacation home if a few things were updated and the situation with the water was made clearer upfront.

Laughs and Memories at Lamoka
This is the second time my family and I have stayed at Croft Cove and we hope it’s not our last. We’ve decided it’s one of our favorite places to stay. Swimming, hiking, fishing, boating, wineries, breweries and campfires filled our week with memories we will never forget. Linger Hospitality is top notch!!

the standard to follow
This home was great right on the lake and a beautiful house, I was very glad we went with this house because during our stay we had 3 rainy days. This made for a great time even indoors. On our nice days, we went swimming, taught our son how to fish, and grilled on the deck it was a perfect spot for a family. The swimming is great, easy concrete steps into the water and it is about 4 feet deep at the end of the dock, after that it was over my head at 6'3" in no time. So it was a very gentle slope into the deep water and a perfect spot by the steps for young children learning how to swim to practice. Don't hesitate to spend time at croft it is amazing.

Casual lake trip with friends
We had a wonderful time visiting the finger lakes with our 2 young boys and close friends and their young kids. The view off the deck was beautiful, house was clean, host was helpful, and check in/out was a breeze. We wish there was a paddle board/kayak so we could get out on the water but we had so much fun grilling and fishing off the dock. Overall a wonderful stay and can’t wait to go back!

We enjoyed the property very much. The rooms were clean. The kitchen was well stocked. The rain shower in the main bathroom was awesome. We had a lovely campfire on the lakefront patio. The fish were jumping and the critters were lively. And there were many wineries within an easy drive. I was sorry to leave.

Perfect Lake Getaway
Croft Cove is the perfect place for a long weekend getaway in the early spring and I can easily imagine staying a week or more in the summer. The interior of the house is beautiful and warmly inviting with fantastic views of Lake Lamoka. The big picture windows allow you to view a sunset over the water even when it's still too chilly to sit outside. It was exactly as advertised and allowed three friends to completely relax and laugh a lot. The smaller lake proved to have a homey feel while being situated equally between the bigger lakes Seneca and Keuka to explore, making it an ideal location. Our party of guests are eager to return to explore more of the FInger Lakes, to kayak around Lamoka in the summer, and view the leaves in the fall!

Family Getaway for Vintage car festival
Great property, excellent location w/ fabulous views. The home is well stocked & very comfortable. A few minor recommendations: Additional curtains in master bedroom & screens on the French doors would be great. Some of the other screens need some repairs also. Clorox tablets would work well on the hard water stains in the bathrooms. However, this isn't meant to be critical. We appreciate the owner's sharing their home with us and would definitely return. Thank You
