1 bed/ba lakeside cottage, large deck, west side of Seneca Lake. Pet Friendly!

This lakeside cozy, 698 square feet of cottage has drive-up access and will put a smile on your face. A gorgeous two level deck will ensure you get panoramic lake view for a beautiful Seneca Lake sunrise and offers shade or sun for your afternoon relaxation. This cottage, originally built as officer barracks on Sampson Air Force Station, then upon base closure sold and relocated to its current location (currently the Sampson State Park is located directly east across the lake).

After descending 15 steps off the deck you can enjoy 105 feet of frontage choosing between natural-sloped shale beach or 60 linear feet of flat lawn created by a break wall. Enjoy time on the pile-driven, 100 ft trex dock with an enlarged platform for lounging at the end.

The Stowaway is less than two miles north of Fox Run Vineyards, in the heart of the Seneca Lake wine country. It is located seven miles south of Geneva, within two miles of Smokin' Pete's Barbeque, four miles south of Roy’s Marina, Port’s Restaurant, Vonnie’s Boathouse. It is 28 miles north of Watkins Glen. There are 3 short term rentals within walking distance of this property owned by different owners but may be available for different groups.

I’ve been the owner of this family property since 2002 and lived in this cottage for four years. I loved the sunrises from the dock and a quiet night on the deck over looking the sunset. In 2014, I had wonderful experiences with guests from all over the northeast through VRBO. I then was in a position to help a good friend who needed a place to stay year round. Fortunately for him he purchased a new home! That means he has moved out of the area and this cottage is back available. I am excited to get back into working with you on creating the best time during your visit to the Finger Lakes!

This property is alongside the Finger Lakes railway line. This is an active rail line with trains passing by up to several times a day sounding horns during the day and night - weekends are usually not active. This line runs the length of Seneca Lake on the west side so any property along this side of the lake will be affected. There is a 7 mph speed limit for vehicles driving on Locust Grove. This is not an ideal property for toddlers, please be aware of the large drop from the deck.

This property is not handicap accessible.

Well behaved pets allowed with a non-refundable deposit. The cleaning fee can be 100% refunded if the property is left as it was found.

I accept payment through this site, Paypal or check (if it's far enough in advance) or money order/cashier's check.

I look forward to working with you!

Fall Getaway
We had a nice time at Maryann's property last week. The location was great and was in the middle of many great wineries, restaurants, and towns. The cottage was clean and it was beautiful to wake up on the lake! The sunrises were incredible!

Perfect Fall Weekend
Came with my best friend and our 2 little dogs. The property was a fantastic location on the lake. Maryanne let us know all we needed to before arrival and made sure to leave a few little extras to make our stay comfortable. The neighbors were so nice and the dogs were friendly. Our dogs had fun playing with them and one showed up on the deck looking for more treats one morning. Such a sweetheart. We were so blessed with beautiful weather for the perfect fall experience at the wineries and the views are spectacular with the leaves changing. Would definitely love to come back again for a longer stay.

Great location
Right on the water. About 20 steps down to a new dock. The train does run close to the house, but very slowly and not very long. The resident neighbors were nice. Upon check in, I noticed there was no toaster. The owner brought over a new one in about an hour! Would stay again for sure.

Nice cottage in a great location
Overall, the cottage was nice! The view of the lake is amazing and the communication with the property owner was great. My first night the grill was out of propane and Maryanne brought me a new tank within 20 minutes. My only comment for suggestions would be to bug proof the cottage. I don't mind some bugs and of course being on the water I expect it but there were so many bugs to the point that I thought maybe a window was left open. Other than that, everything was perfect!

Cozy get away, beautiful sunrises, close to activities
We had a cozy and wonderful getaway staying at this property. The view from the house/cabin was so nice that we ate each night on the deck just for the view of Seneca Lake. In the morning, I had coffee on the deck or on the couch watching the sunrise over the lake. It was the perfect size for 2 of us. It is close to a major grocery store, wineries, breweries, hiking, and museums. We were even treated to the most vibrant rainbow over the lake. We highly recommend this cabin. It was very clean.

Excellent!
This was a wonderful house for our Seneca Lake vacation. The house and neighborhood were clean and quiet, bed was comfortable and patio lake view and sunrise were perfect. And lake access was easy for us to get in our kayaks and paddle boards. The location of the house is great, we never drove more than 20 minutes and visited great wineries, downtown, Finger Lakes Rail Riders (train track bike ride through the area!) great restaurants (Ports Cafe!), maybe the best ice cream I've ever had at Spotted Duck, Seneca falls waterfall and more. Maryanne had great communication with us before and during our stay. We'd certainly be happy to stay again. Thank you Maryanne.

Great location and basic amenities
Maryanne was a great host, easy to get a hold of and helpful work with. The location of the cottage is perfect for wine trail access, and the lakefront location is a plus. The cottage has the basic amenities, however the pullout couch left a bit to be desired when staying as a group of 3. I believe Maryanne is working on a replacement which would be fantastic! The cottage could use new French doors to the deck as they’re shaky and not the most secure, and the dock was not as usable as we’d hoped due to mess left from the seagulls (it seemed to mainly be our dock as it wasn’t covered). The neighbors were very friendly, and overall we had a pleasant stay!

Will be visiting again and for longer. Maryanne was a great host. This location is perfect for a couple romantic getaway. The views are amazing. Almost all the amenities you need (no on-site laundry). Grill, fire pit, and the living room with an amazing view! Even the train, which only goes by during the day, added a quaint touch.
