About this property

Sweetgrass Cottage, Ovid: Walk to Sheldrake Point Winery, Beach and Boat Launch

A private country cottage above Sheldrake Creek features open floor plan, 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths and a loft. Featuring vintage and "not-so-shabby chic" decor in 50 shades of green, the home sleeps a maximum of 5 guests with 2 queen size beds and a double futon. This an extremely private property with distant views of the lake and a field across the street. An 8 minute leisurely walk lands you at Sheldrake Point Winery or the local boat launch with Cayuga lake access. Enjoy a barbecue or dinner on the back deck and relax by the fire pit after dark. A fully furnished kitchen and nearby grocery, vegetable stand and farmers' markets offers you the option of preparing all your meals at home. Washer and dryer on site (some summer water restrictions may apply in case of drought as our water comes from a well.) Scenic walking, biking, boating and jogging locations abound in the immediate and nearby area, only a half hour's drive to Taughannock Falls and the Ithaca Gorges, Seneca Falls and the Women's Hall of Fame, local Amish Farm Stores, breweries and distilleries. Our location is convenient to both Cayuga and Seneca Lake Wine, Cheese, and Art Trails. Owner lives close by to assist with all your needs. NO CLEANING FEES makes this an economical choice for the savvy traveler!
