About this property

"Sunset Serenity" on Waneta Lake-Visit the FingerLakes, Wine Trails & upstate NY

On the east side of Waneta Lake, this 3 season Lakehouse is centrally located in the center of the beautiful Finger Lakes Region. 50 feet of private lakefront with dock on a gently sloping deep lot. This quaint cottage has 3 bedrooms, (1-Queen, 1-Full, a semi-private room with twin bunkbeds) and a pull out queen sleeper sofa on the enclosed sunroom. 1 1/2 baths (shower only) with a large dining room and a spacious enclosed sunroom to enjoy every moment the lake has to offer. A smaller kitchen with plenty of storage, which is equipped with many necessary appliances to make your stay more enjoyable and less worrisome. Our well is new with a UV filter in use so there is no sulfur odor and the water is safe for drinking right out of the tap. Dine at one of the two tables that can seat 6 guests each with space to spare. After dinner, view the serene sunsets from your choice of 2 outdoor decks or the stone patio at the waters edge. Light a crackling campfire in the fire ring on the lower patio or if you aren't up to building a fire, turn on the propane fire pit on the lower deck and relax in your wicker swivel chair as you watch the beautiful sunset. Sit under the shaded trees slowly swaying in the hammock or bask in the sun on the stone patio. A large level yard, front and back, perfect for horseshoes, badminton and other yard games. Enjoy your choice of shows on one of our 3 flat screen TV's with numerous cable channels and wireless internet for your convenience. Waneta Lake is known to be good fishing for large mouth bass, pickerel, blue gill and more, but perhaps the most popular is the large muskee fish, which we hear jumping at night, however, we generally are only lucky enough to catch the small sunfish and perch. :) Sunset Serenity has a 50 foot dock to fish from although the waters are still a bit shallow for the "big" fish from the dock. We do have a row boat, as well as a canoe for three with stabilizers, and a tandem kayak for two that you are welcome to use. If you have your own boat, there is a launch at the south end of Waneta Lake which connects to Lamoka Lake, as well. There is room to dock at the lakehouse during your stay. Plenty of opportunity for boating, swimming, fishing, touring wineries/breweries, or being a spectator at Watkins Glen International, which was recently voted the best NASCAR track for the 2nd consecutive year. You will be within 30 minutes from the Finger Lakes Wine Trails, Watkins Glen State Park, Watkins Glen International Race Track , Glenn H. Curtiss Museum in Hammondsport, the Corning Museum of Glass, Keuka Lake, Seneca Lake, Lamoka Lake and so much more upstate New York has to offer.

RELAXING
The camp was in a great / quiet location. Well equipped with everything you might need or have forgotten. To many weeds to fish or swim from dock but was supplied with 2 person open kayak, row boat and 3 seat canoe all suitable for fishing. Shower was small, shower head low but usable shower to tight for sister in law to use. A great restaurant within walking distance. We had a slight problem with cable connecting which owner quickly helped us by a couple phone texts. It was one of the more enjoyable rental experiances we’ve had.

Another great stay!
This is our second season here and just like the first stay, we had a great time and enjoyed the setting. The cottage was clean and fully equipped. We love Waneta since it's quiet with an easy connection to Lamoka - it's like a two-for-one. Sunset Serenity offered all we were looking for in a vaca! Thanks to the Hills.

About the host

Hosted by Bill & Tiffany Hill

Host profile image
My husband, Bill, and I grew up in nearby Watkins Glen. After attending college in Oneonta, we returned to the area and purchased the diner where it all began for us...Classic Chef's, located between Watkins Glen and Montour Falls. We have 2 daughters and 2 sons who are learning to love and appreciate the beauty that Waneta Lake has to offer, almost as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Growing up in Watkins Glen, I can remember the excitement of summer vacation and renting a cottage on Waneta Lake with my mother and cousins. Though many things have changed since then, and the lake community has grown, the two primary cottages we rented still remain. It had such an impact on me that I convinced my husband to adopt and carry on that Legacy with our own children and we began renting every summer, with the dream of someday owning a part of the serenity that Waneta Lake brings to our family. Our dream has finally come true and we want to share it with you, in hopes that you are able to find the beauty, peace and serenity that not only the sunsets provide, but also the friendliness and spirit that the Waneta Lake community has to offer.

What makes this property unique

"Sunset Serenity" has the beautiful view of the sun slowly descending below the horizon every evening. You have the luxury of choosing to relax on either of the two outdoor decks or the stone patio located closest to the lake. The property has plenty of yard to find the sun's rays. The propane firepit helps making smores easier without the task of building an actual campfire.
