The cabin was adorable and close to all the hiking we wanted to do in the area. Although I wish the cabin was a bit more secluded, we had everything we needed during our stay and would absolutely recommend it.

The little cabin by the lake was just what we needed. It was very clean, and everything worked properly. We have family nearby, so the location was excellent. Don't miss the Smith Memorial Park, which has public access to the lake. We plan to return soon!

This property is as listed on VRBO. Its located near many wineries on the Seneca Trail. Only downside for us we would have liked to been able to walk to the lake. You can see it from the deck. We enjoyed our visit there and hope to be back.

Peaceful, Perfect, and Even Better in Person!We had such a relaxing and memorable weekend at this beautiful lakeside cottage. It’s even prettier in person. Cozy, spotless, and stocked with essentials. The location was ideal for both adventure and downtime, and the price was just right!We kicked off our stay with a lovely evening at the nearby Stonecat Café with great food and live music in a relaxed setting. The next day, we hiked through Watkins Glen, enjoyed a laid-back lunch at The Oar House (Ruben was amazing!), and ended the day with a stunning sunset at Smith Park. We spent the following day at Smith Park again, relaxing by the lake and cruising around on our jetski. We wrapped it all up with a stop at the Ithaca Farmers Market on our way home.The hosts were amazing and quick to respond.A peaceful, picture-perfect getaway. Highly recommend!

Charming and perfect

Our son and fiancée stayed at this little cabin and were very happy with this option. Their faces lit up when we drove up. The setting is beautiful and the accommodations were comfortable. The owners were communicative and very helpful. We will be renting this place again for family if it is available. Thank you.

Perfect 5 year anniversary Getaway

This property was beautiful, located just a stone throw from the lakes edge. The owners were extremely friendly, the type of friendly you can only find in a small town. They gave excellent recommendations, we ate at both the Scale House and Babes Burgers during our visit. We enjoyed smores and coffee by the fire pit. All we could hear was the hundreds of birds, perfect place to get away. I feel like the photos on the listing dont capture the charm of the cabin so i took some myself. Thanks again Susan & Henry
