Cottage holiday rentals in Erie Canal

Nice setting easy to get to all activities we were looking to do like Watkins glen and wineries. Tony provided detailed instructions and gave good recommendations!

Peppermint Cottage was everything we hoped it would be! The scent of peppermint welcomed us upon our arrival. The fireplace and wide-plank floors created a perfect ambiance as we enjoyed the comfortable, cozy living room. The beds were comfy and the sheets crisp and clean. We enjoyed our stay so much that we hope to visit again someday.

We had the best family get away!! Great views from the house, kitchen has everything you need, the hot tub and fire pit were awesome bonuses and overall the place was excellent! We rent a lakefront getaway at least twice and year and this one was one of if not the best places we’ve stayed! Hosts are super nice, quick to answer any questions you have, and check in/out were super easy. And if you’re bass fishing, this is the perfect spot. 11/10!!

We had a great time! Everything was thought of in this space. We especially enjoyed the opportunity to be outdoors and the proximity to the park. I'm not sure if this jumped out in the listing, but the place is walking distance to the Children's Museum which was perfect for us, as I had take the car for a work event and left my husband and 3 year old to explore the museum, and they could easily walk home to the cottage. Thanks for sharing your place with us!

Thank you for our wonderful stay this weekend. Your place is the quintessential lake cottage. Everything we needed was supplied and at our fingertips, without being overrun with “stuff.” Well-maintained, clean, and comfortable. It was a cool, rainy weekend and we took full advantage of the bedroom fireplaces and extra blankets! Would love to come back to enjoy summer-time at your place. Thank you!

The host was extremely friendly and informative. Their website includes so much info that you literally find everything you need for your stay. Location was amazing and can only recommend.

We stayed at Cora’s property for 1 month and had the best time! Her house felt so cozy and Cora and Paul were very responsive and always helped out when needed. The location is perfect - close to downtown and there are cute cafes and restaurants nearby. We will absolutely be back!

Our stay was great! The house comfortably accommodated three families and a dog. The location was convenient - close enough to grocery stores and letchworth park. Thank you for having us!

Mary was an incredibly gracious and accommodating host. She has a lovely cottage amidst a very private section of the lake and we felt we had all we needed to enjoy our peaceful retreat.

Great peaceful space. The views were beautiful. The house had very cute touches and the beds were very comfortable!

we had a great vacation - my husband and 2 kids. we enjoyed the space and had everything we needed. we enjoyed being able to walk down to the lake. we sat on the deck, played games at the kitchen eat in counter. watched TV and relaxed/slept on extremely comfortable beds. it was a very quiet location even surrounded by other houses. it was close by to many of our trip highlights including the sandy bottom park, Naples pizza, red cat winery, lynnie lous ice cream and the Corning museum. would recommend this place to future families looking for a place to stay.

We absolutely loved staying at this cute cottage! It was peaceful and relaxing. Excited to book our next stay!

We came up for the weekend to escape life for the weekend and this was an amazing choice. You can literally walk out the back door and look at the water from the deck. The house has all the amenities you could need and plenty of extras. Host was very responsive and gave us some recommendations while in the area. Only an hour from Niagara Falls. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely return.

We loved our little stay here. It's great for a relaxing long weekend. Lots of great places to eat and drink within driving distance. The views were amazing! Gorgeous water and was fun to see Toronto in the distance. We definitely underestimated the presence of the bugs. Krista does warn that they come out in the summer, but they were everywhere by the water. Definitely hampered our time spent outside but if you can ignore the bugs you'll be fine. Krista was a wonderful communicator and the place was spotless.

Beautiful view of the lake from the living room. Cozy and clean cottage vibes. Jennifer was immediate in responsive and very informative. Would absolute stay again!

Thank you for letting us stay at your lovely house! We had the best time. The location is perfect, the house was so clean and the view was stunning. We highly recommend this lovely lake house!

It was a very relaxing stay. The place was well stocked with appliances (tea kettle, instapot, full-sized coffee maker, etc). The lake was beautiful and we were visited by two different families of geese at daybreak and dusk.

Lisa’s cottage by the river is an amazing getaway for anyone who’s looking for peaceful surroundings! This wasn’t our first stay, and we always look forward to fishing, kayaking, and birdwatching. Thanks Lisa again for a great MDW stay!

We loved our stay. Everything was just as described. We would definitely stay here again! David and Betsy were extremely accommodating and the bottle of local wine was a really nice touch! Thank you!

Our stay at the cottage was everything we could have asked for. The location on the south side of Oneida Lake was convenient to the areas we wanted to fish and a short trip to a Wegman’s grocery store for any supplies we needed. The beds are comfortable, and the kitchen is well appointed. The cottage provided for a warm and comfortable stay. Will definitely be going back.

“Ventura Lake House “ is nothing short of magical. The cottage is so comfortable and eclectic, furniture with fascinating pieces of art made by the hosts. The living room and bedrooms were extremely comfortable as was every space on the property, inside and outdoors. The kitchen was perfectly outfitted with anything a person might need. Christine even left a special birthday treat for our son and croissants as well as many staples in the fridge. Our favorite part was sitting on an Adirondack chair just watching and listening to Lake Ontario. We will definitely be back again and again. So grateful that Christine and Paul offer this beautiful place — and their many creative talents — for others to enjoy! Thank you!

We stayed at this cabin in the Finger Lakes for two nights and overall had a good time. The location is beautiful, with lovely views of the lake (especially at sunset) which we really enjoyed. It was a peaceful spot, and our family appreciated the chance to unwind. The cabin itself was cozy and had the basic amenities we needed. It was clean, and the check-in/check-out process was straightforward. It worked well for the couple of nights we needed. The proximity to Ithaca and other small towns was definitely a plus and gave us a few nice options for exploring the area.

If you are looking for a local sweet spot with an amazing view and private beach, look no further. This cottage is the sweetest piece of local history made into a cozy respite with friendly neighbors. Breakfast on the deck overlooking the lake was incredible ! The cottage has everything you need and is in a great location to be on the lake and also visit Rochester and the surrounding areas. The bed, pillows, throw blankets are so comfortable and the electric fire on the wall for ambient light is a great touch! My daughter and I came for a girls getaway and next time we are in town, I hope this cottage is available so we can stay again!

We had an absolute wonderful stay at James' lake cottage. Check in was easy and the cottage was clean and nicely decorated. We instantly felt welcomed and at home in the sweet space. The outdoor space was so lovely and peaceful. We enjoyed using the grill and kayaks. James had great local recommendations for us- we loved hiking at the nearby Lime Hollow Preservation and embarked on multiple hikes around to see spectacular waterfalls. Homer was a fun small town where we enjoyed lunch, some shopping and even a parade one evening! Our long weekend at the cottage was memorable, fun and relaxing. We would definitely love to come back!
