The cottage was clean and comfortable and the view of the lake was super! We enjoyed the early evening view from the dock both nights we stayed. It was very peaceful! The kitchen was adequately supplied for meal prep. I would recommend this home.

We had a very relaxing week stay at this great house. Being right on the lake was amazing. The water was clear and refreshing on a hot day. We floated and fished, played games, skipped rocks, and made smores. Would definitely stay here again!

Lovely Setting

We very much enjoyed our time at the Willow Cove cottage. It was close to restaurants, shopping, wineries, and just far enough away from all of those things too. The house is very comfortable, with many of the amenities of home.

Quiet spot on the lake- many areas to sit and enjoy it

A nice little home on the lake in a quiet area. We visited several Museums and the house we grew up in. Hiked Watkins Glen and drank local wine.

Stayed here for a long weekend. Although the lake house is older, it was such a wonderful stay! House was cleans, wrap around porch and dock were perfect for early morning coffee and late night relaxation. Also loved the sunroom/addition. The street is quiet and safe. Close to some very good wineries and breweries. It is also close to the town of Geneva and restaurants. Can’t wait to return next year!

Saranac Getaway

Could not have asked for a nicer property for our vacation. We come down to the area for the Watkins Glen race and enjoy staying in the area. This property was incredible. The lake view from the house and the dock were awesome. The house had everything we could ask for and we would love to stay there again.
