Holiday rentals with a kayak in Finger Lakes

What a wonderful 4-day stay in a perfect cottage for my 3 middle aged daughters and me on our “girls’ trip!” The house had everything we needed and was perfectly located for our visits to wineries, breweries, Watkins Glen State Park, Ithaca, and many other places in the Finger Lakes region. We loved our evenings by the fire pit with the stunning lake view and beautiful sunsets. The comfortable seating on the covered porch made our one rainy evening enjoyable, and we continued to have fun in the sturdily built game room which became our “safe place” during an unexpected tornado warning! Jaci’s communication was great, and we highly recommend staying at this lovely cottage!

Jill's place was perfect for celebrating a special occaison! The location is picture perfect and there is everything you could ask for! Great communication and very clean and organized! We highly recommend for anyone travelling to Seneca Lake!

We had a lovely stay at the cottage. Perfect location - just a short drive to Geneva, Watkins Glen, Penn Yan and Seneca Falls. Lots of breweries and wineries and great restaurants! The cottage was well furnished and spacious. Large refrigerator and brand new stove. We loved the bed! I am a soft bed fan and most places have hard mattresses. Our grand daughter loved the kayak. We enjoyed cooking dinners on the gas grill and relaxing by the fire after dark. There was almost no other neighbors there for our stay so it was quiet and peaceful most of the time. We DID hear the Naval Research station down the road early in the morning but that didn’t last long. Very nice dock. I enjoyed sitting out there in the mornings with a cup of tea/coffee. Bathroom/shower is tiny and a bit cramped but I understand you have to deal with the architecture of what you have All in all we loved it would stay here again!

The house was just as described! Comfortable with lots of space. There were two bedrooms and two living room areas with pull out couches. We went to a few of the wineries around; there was a lot to choose from! We loved sitting on the dock. Only things worth noting are the parking situation, where 5 cars are all that is allowed to be parked in the driveway. This wasn’t mentioned in the listing, but the owner messaged a few days ahead of time to let us know. This could be difficult if you’re having 12 people. There is an additional spot across the street where we were able to fit one more car, but it may not be enough space. Consider carpooling! My party didn’t care, but there were a LOT of dead bugs in the doorways, which could be hard to avoid at a lake house but felt like it was missed during cleaning. There were some dishes left in the sink and the dishwasher & the grill was pretty dirty, so it was also just missed during cleaning. Otherwise, our stay was great & we’d stay again!

This Airbnb was the perfect fall getaway! We visited the lake to soak in the autumn vibes, and this spot exceeded our expectations. There was plenty of room for our group of five, and the host’s recommendations made our trip even better. While the area is known for summer fun, I think fall might be the best time to visit. We had an amazing time exploring the charming shops, cozy restaurants, and stunning waterfront spots, plus the nearby vineyards are a must-see. Can’t wait to return next year when the leaves are changing again—absolutely loved our stay!

The house is small and cozy, perfect for a couple. We loved it. The sunrise looking out the living room windows is phenomenal. The views of the lake are great. Non-stop fish jumping in the lake. Fishing from the dock was good. Caught a bass by the dock.

Several families members and I decided to take a long weekend on Seneca Lake and this house was perfect! It is bright and spacious with gorgeous views and plenty of outdoor seating. There are also restaurants and wineries/breweries close by. We would definitely rent this house again.

Sean’s property was beautifully maintained and exceeded our expectations. We chose this location for its accessibility, particularly for my elderly mother, and it proved to be an ideal choice. The walk to the lake was easy and convenient, making it even more enjoyable. Sean was highly responsive and communicative, promptly addressing any questions we had. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-located stay.

Highly recommend. The house was clean, exactly as described, comfortable for family of 5. Amazing lake view from house and only few steps to lake. Perfect place for sunset view over the lake.

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.

Our stay at Kate’s was perfect for my graduation weekend. The house had everything we needed, and the views were absolutely stunning. Kate was super responsive and really accommodating, which made everything easy. I’d definitely love to come back when the weather’s nicer and try out the kayaks and paddleboards. Highly recommend!

Our stay was great! The neighborhood was beautiful, and the cottage was very nice.

This was a great place to stay for our weekend trip! The location was absolutely amazing, and we loved being able to fall asleep listening to the waves of the lake. We had more than enough room for the 4 of us!

We loved the cabin spent Mothers Day weekend with my family and Grandkids...we definitely would stay again the view is beautiful and the sunset everything meant all our needs

We loved our stay! The house itself is nice, but we spent most of our time outside on the deck, in the hot tub, or on the lake. It was a little cold when we visited, but it was still nice to be able to use the paddle board/kayaks and explore the lake & I imagine it would be much better in the warmer months. There isn’t much of a town, which means limited options for food nearby, but it was definitely worth the limited options for the peace we felt there!

One of my top two favorite rental spaces to date! Dan has created a space that met any need we had. Every last detail and inch of the space has been so well thought out. A bottle of wine was generously waiting for us upon our arrival. Dan is very thorough in his instructions and communication. He reached out during our stay to make sure we were doing well and didn’t have any issues. The setting is so peaceful whether you are up around the cottage or down by the lake. Our weather wasn’t great, so unfortunately time on the lake itself didn’t happen. We hope to visit again and be able to make use of the kayaks. Fantastic find if you’re looking to get away! Thanks again

Our stay at Bear Camp was amazing. The view was fantastic, good fishing, easy to get into the lake with our kayaks, lovely porch to sit and relax and a clean, adorable cabin to stay in. What a gem. highly recommend this place and Honeoye Lake

I can’t say enough about Kathi & this cabin! She’s everything you’d want from a host - lovely, knowledgeable & gave the best tips! She was extremely accommodating, responsive & just an excellent host. The “cozy cabin” on Wells is just that & such a special place. The property is beautiful, peaceful & so inviting. We thoroughly enjoyed having breakfast on the pergola overlooking the pond in the morning & relaxing by the fire at night. You could do nothing else & have the time of your life but you’re also close to lots of lakes, waterfalls, wineries & quaint towns with cute shops so there is plenty to keep you occupied should you want to keep busy. Besides being picturesque, the cabin was spotless & had all the amenities you could ever need. In fact, they even supply extra toiletries in case you forgot something & wine if you’d like to partake. Such thoughtful touches! This was a bucket list trip for us & a much needed recharge. We were sad to leave but can’t wait to go back!

Great little spot by beautiful Lake Conesus. Convenient location, the space was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed for a few day stay! Donald was great with communication and quick to respond when we needed the heat turned on. Recommended!

This was a dreamy peaceful little place. It was a welcomed relaxing space as I just finished a year of teaching. It looked just like the photos. Had many things that one would need to enjoy your stay. I loved the updated touches and bathroom while still being a rustic cabin. The fire place is so cozy. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Our stay was great! So so quiet you can hear a pin drop. Being by the river was great, we got to see new baby goslings and watch people go by on kayaks. The place is very peaceful, and right down the road from a few different winery’s! The neighborhood wasn’t the most vibrant part of town, but it had its own atmosphere and views on the drive were breathtaking. Also good thing to note—the next door neighbor has a beautiful Great Dane who likes to pace the dividing fence and sometimes barks pretty loud and gets excited. Great dog, on an electric fence, but just for anyone who has reactive dogs or sensitive dogs, definitely something to consider.

It was a very beautiful place to stay and great for the price, the weather wasn’t cooperating fully but because of how cozy it was we didn’t really notice!

This was our second time now staying at Sherrys beautiful cabin. We love it here and we can’t wait to come back again soon. We are making this a tradition in our family coming to this amazing property. We had the most peaceful and wonderful weekend here and our dogs absolutely loved being off leash, exploring 200 private acres of land and swimming in the gorgeous pond. Thank you for having us and we can’t wait to come back.

We had such a great time here! Heidi’s place was clean and in a great location. We loved utilizing the dock and really appreciated all the personal touches that Heidi left for us!
