Peaceful and relaxing
A bit out of the way from "all the action", but that is what a lake cabin is for, right? It had everything we needed (except I didn't notice "bring your own linens and towels" in the listing, and had to hit Walmart since we flew in, but that worked out okay. ) Would stay again if we are in the area.

Just keeps getting better
This is our third stay at Heron Hideaway, and certainly the best. Everything was great - the sleep (I got ten hours a night), the kitchen, the grill, the sleeping porch, the fire pit and that whole property. A huge waterfront yard where the dogs played endlessly and the northern pike were hitting my lures with gusto. The great weather was a bonus, but even when the weather wasn’t great in years past, we always had a blast. Perfectly located between Watkins Glen and Hammondsport means you always have options for dining, walking and just living. Kelli’s a wonderful host.

Nice waterfront property
We enjoyed our stay. We were hoping to be able to at least put our feet in the water from the dock, but the algae made that impossible. If you are capable of kayaking or canoeing, this is a perfect spot. The fire pit was our favorite area, and the heron that came to the dock every day was fun to watch. We were able to go into Hammondsport to the Glen Curtis museum. I would recommend this to everyone. It is also close to Watkins Glenn and Keuka Lake.The camp was adequate for four people. It was clean and comfortable though the kitchen was a bit dated. Overall well worth the cost!

About the host

Hosted by Kelli Hoffman

Host profile image
NEW OWNERS! The Hoffmans live in Lancaster County, PA but fell in love with the Finger Lakes when they visited for the first time back in 2013. They are outdoor enthusiasts and enjoy hiking, fishing and paddling along with their two American Alsatians, Windy & Odin.

Why they chose this property

We chanced upon Heron Hideaway on our first ever vacation to the Finger Lakes, and enjoyed the cottage as renters. While the whole area is beautiful, we loved Lamoka Lake right away, because it's perfect for fishing and paddling our canoes and kayaks. When we returned years later and had the opportunity to purchase the cottage, it was a no-brainer.

What makes this property unique

We've never stayed in a place that was so peaceful and relaxing. Who doesn't love a cozy little cottage where you can wake up and enjoy a beautiful view of the lake from the porch with your morning coffee? Sure we're biased, but we believe it's one of the best lots on the entire lake - beautiful views, private, a great dock and excellent fishing. We hope you'll love it as much as we do!
