About this property

Snow is Coming! Only 10 minutes from Song Mountain! And 15 minutes to SUNY Cortland and 30 min to Syracuse University with easy access to I81! Song Mountain is 10 minutes up the road and Greek Peak is only 25 minutes away! The cottage sleeps 4 with a king bed and a queen sleeper sofa. Whether you are looking for a quiet getaway or need a place to rest while visiting the area, Lily Pad offers it all!

The space is perfect for a romantic getaway or a family vacation for a small family. There are a variety of books and games to pass the time on a rainy day as well as a 75" smart TV where you can access Netflix as well as other apps.

The kitchen is fully equipped with pots and pans and utensils as well as an extensive spice rack. There is also an instant pot, toaster, microwave, coffee maker air fryer and food processor. There is an island with two stools and a large picture window overlooking the lake.

There is a king bed in the bedroom with a large dresser and closet. The living room couch folds out into a queen bed.

Tie up your boat to the private dock. Enjoy BBQ'ing lakeside on the gas grill and take in the evening sunsets on the large, shaded deck! Explore the lake with the two kayaks provided. Unwind in front of the lakeside fire pit. In the winter, cozy up in front of the gas fireplace.

Although a lake front home is thought of as a summer destination, this cottage is the perfect getaway year-round. Enjoy the fall foliage, apple orchards, local wine tours, great hiking or downhill skiing. Just minutes from SUNY Cortland, this the perfect spot for parents weekend or orientation or move-in weekend!

Lovely little cottage

We chose Lily Pad cottage as our base for the eclipse weekend. It had everything we needed plus some. Had it been warmer, I’m sure we would have enjoyed kayaking on Little York Lake with the kayaks provided. All in all, 10 out of 10!

Cute little Cottage

We loved our cute little cottage. My husband and I stayed overnight but we did enjoy inviting my twin sister and her family for a dinner on our birthday. The cottage had enough room for 3 cars and seated 6 so it was a perfect fit for us. It was close to the water and would have enjoyed the patio porch and kayaks if the weather would have been better. The owner was very cooperative and helpful.

Idyllic

This idyllic setting offered me the quiet space to think after busy days spent at a conference in Syracuse. My favorite was when I was sitting in the living space, with the fireplace burning as a blue heron flew past.

Vacation

Overall very pleasant .. only a couple of things that need attention. The shower needs all tile to be renewed and caulked .. tub was slippery .. could have fallen.. install grab bars and non slip bath mat would solve this potential accident issue. The host was pleasant and accommodating! The internet was on and off.. this was not the fault of the host. The host sympathized and made calls into Comcast in hopes of fixing.

I am a mother 5 children. Our two oldest are in college at NYU Stern and the University of Albany. Our middle daughter is a senior in high school and our two little guys are 10 and 6. My husband and I love to travel and explore new areas. The short-term rental community has been a great way to get to know new areas on a local level and I hope to bring the same feeling to my guests.
