About this property

Cozy Cabin With 165 Ft. Private Beach and wood-fired hot tub - ALL are welcome!

The Green Duck is simply an easy house to be in. At the end of a private road, you'll find our charming 1 bedroom lake house- which includes a full kitchen and living room area with a bathroom (standup shower only). We have just added a luxurious cedar wood-fired hot tub for the 2025 rental season -we have tried it and it is divine! The house is equipped with washer and dryer! We like to keep all the screened windows open all summer and let the breeze keep the house cool, but if you need it, theres AC in the bedroom and the sun room that cools the whole place. There is working WIFI, DVD system, TV channels, but save that for a rainy day. You'll be spending most of your time outside on the deck or down on the beach and/or swimming dock. There are 2 kayaks for your use as well as some extra life jackets. Plenty of deck chairs for sitting or laying out in the sun. A great place for bird watching (bald eagles!) and fishing right off the dock! 2 fire raised metal fire pits (one on the beach and one in the yard) for those nighttime bonfires! This property is unique as we get both Sunrise on the lake and sunset over the hills of Fox Run Winery! One last thing - a charming and historic train runs next to the house. The train seems to have no set schedule, but seems to run very infrequently. Sometimes not coming for days on end and other times passing by up to 3 times in one day. We see this as part of the charm of the place- the train goes slow and the conductor will even sound the whistle for you if you wave at the train! All in all - this is the perfect house for a quiet, get-a-way - full of fishing, swimming, laying around, working on your new book, or a just a romantic rural experience! Oh, and if it gets too quiet - Historic Downtown Geneva is a 15 minute drive. There you can find gift shops, a cinema, The Smith Opera House, grocery stores, Linden Street, full of shops and great farm-to-table restaurants and a lakefront park.

*** This is a year round rental. We spent last winter here and made some great memories. I must say the place is stunning during all four seasons. We do ask the guests DO NOT use the wood stove (for safety reasons). The house is well insulated. There is electric heat (Thermostat), as well as some very advanced, high-end space heaters for the areas that don't heat up as well. If you would like to see some photos of the place in winter time, just ask and I will email them to you.

Cozy cottage in a fabulous location

We had a wonderful anniversary weekend at Jonny's lovely cottage. The location - right on Seneca Lake - was perfect for a glass of wine on the dock, bird watching, and relaxing with a book. The cottage was super clean, with everything we needed for the weekend. Jonny shared detailed info about the rental, which we really appreciated, and was fast to respond to emails. The hot tub, especially on a chilly night, is great fun. We'll be back!

Fall weekend getaway

We stayed in the cabin Oct. 17-20 and everything was perfect! The area was beautiful, the cabin was at the end of a private drive with a beautiful lakefront view. We lucked out with an amazing 4 days of clear blue skies, mild temperatures and a full moon that we watched rise above the lake from the Adirondack chairs around the campfire. We loved sitting on the porch and watching the view of the lake. Every morning I went down to the dock to drink my coffee and watch the sunrise. It was absolutely gorgeous. Johnny was a wonderful host who gave us a lot of great suggestions. Our favorite was the winery across the street, Fox Run. We were lucky enough to book their last Food and Wine Event for the season that included a great tour of their vineyard where we got to meet their head winemaker who gave us an overview of how their grapes are harvested and made into their delicious wines- pro tip- look for Fox Run’s 2024 Reislings in 2025, they said that this harvest was the most perfect growing season they’ve ever had and it should be one of their best wines yet! This cabin was spectacular, it had everything we needed and was so close to everywhere we wanted to go! Thank you Johnny!

Serenity on Senaca

My husband and I were extremely thrilled with how perfect the cottage was. It was exactly what we hoped for when booking this property, from the location overlooking Lake Seneca; to the availability of a great fire pit but also an amazing charcoal grill; really sturdy outdoor furniture strategically placed so that the lake was always in view; to all the amenities inside the home, including very plush bath towels and a kitchen full of cooking supplies. There wasn't anything lacking to make our stay so welcoming and comfortable. We hope to return again and again.

Finger Lakes

Cozy lake cabin, with a great view and access to Seneca Lake. Perfect location to visit the Finger Lake region. This is a cabin, not a house, cozy but small. Perfect size for a couple or a family of 3-4 (easily fit two small children or 1 teenager). We did not cook this time around, but the kitchen was well equipped and there was an outdoor grill. The back deck, fire pit and dock were awesome. Plenty of comfortable outdoor furniture. Perfect location close to great wineries/vineyards and restaurants. Jonny's recommendations were spot on. Loved Smokin Pete's BBQ and Ports Cafe. Will be staying here again. Would highly recommend this location and property.

Great property, location, and host too!

My husband and I rented the cabin for our first visit to the Finger Lakes area had a great time. The cabin was nice and clean and exactly as described. The lakefront access is wonderful and we enjoyed watching the water and the eagles. We debated on the the West versus the East side of the lake and were very happy with the choice. The sun was so bright that I think facing the West would be tough until the sun actually sets. The owner has obviously put a lot of love into the cabin and we very much appreciated getting to experience their home. There is a train very near to the property and it was not a problem. It came by a few times. It went pretty slow and was short, so was not loud or disruptive at all. I wouldn't let the train deter you as most homes on the East side of Seneca Lake will be near this train. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would rent this cabin again.

What a lovely cottage. Thanks, Jonny!

We had a great time at the property (even with a lot of rain from the remnants of Tropical Storm Debby keeping us from the lake more than we'd have liked). The cottage was clean, cozy, and well equipped. The outdoor areas and lakefront perfect for relaxation. Plenty of options for everyone in the local area. Jonny was a friendly and responsive host. We loved our time there and would recommend it to others!

Wonderful Weekend Away

This is such an amazing place and the owner, Jonny, is absolutely wonderful. Well before our stay, he sent us detailed info on the cottage, along with recommended restaurants and things to do. We had one question during our stay and we received a prompt response. The cottage itself is nestled along a tree lined area that makes the whole property very private and quiet. Highly recommend and I hope we're able to visit again!

I wish I was sitting on the dock sipping wine right now

Loved our getaway to Seneca Lake. Johnny's cottage was just the vibe we were looking for. Like can not say enough good things about the outdoor space. So, so chill but also a close drive to everything we might have needed. The train & tracks were not an issue and found it to be a charming addition, though we only saw a train once. Johnny was super at communication. All in all, can't wait to return to Seneca Lake sometime and if we do I would definitely rent this cottage again.

Wonderful!

We spent four nights at the “Green Duck” cabin and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was comfortable and clean, the location was peaceful and private, and the view of Seneca Lake was stunning. The freight train rumbled by a few times, and there was a certain charm to watching it pass. The house was well-stocked with everything you could need. Jonny was easy to communicate with as needed. We would definitely recommend a stay here!

About the host

Hosted by jonathan pierce

Host profile image
I grew up in the finger lakes district and spent many memorable summers on Seneca Lake at my Grandfather's cabin. I moved away for work to Manhattan and after years of hard work, I was able to purchase my own cabin on the same lake as my grandfather - my own dream come true.. Sadly, my work requires me to travel almost constantly, so I am excited to share this slice of heaven with you!

Why they chose this property

I wanted to have a home on Seneca Lake, simply for nostalgic reasons. I missed those perfect quiet summers I spent up here as a kid - and when I am here - I do feel like a kid again. You have to stay here to really grasp what I'm saying! Also, living in Manhattan has really made me crave serenity. Here, you are literally surrounded by nature.

What makes this property unique

Incredible lake views, private 165 ft. beach, private road to house (shared with only two neighbors), the house is on the Finger Lakes Wine Trail. The backyard is flush with Fox Run's Riesling grape vines (pictured)!
