About this property

Cozy cottage in the Heart of the Finger Lakes with hot tub - dog friendly

Small cottage in the quaint village of Interlaken with modern country finishes, located on a beautiful babbling brook in the heart of the Finger Lakes. If you stay in we have a hot tub and if you want to go out, it's a ten minute drive to both the Seneca and Cayuga wine trails!

Location:
The Interlaken Cottage is merely 10 minutes from both the Seneca and Cayuga wine trails, so you don't have to choose! It is located in a quaint village with a convenience store in walking distance. What makes the cottage most special is the precious brook running through the property.

The House:
The house is quiet and comfortable. It is furnished to be cozy, yet modern, with every detail thought through.

We love sharing our vacation home with family, so we have plenty of places to sleep. There are two queen beds upstairs, the couch folds out to a full sized bed, a queen sized air mattress, and a fun futon for a child.

Dog Friendly:
The best part about the Finger Lakes is that almost every winery is dog-friendly! So you get to bring your dog just about everywhere. There are dog bowls provided. We don't currently have a fence on the property. Sorry, no cats.

The Creek:
The creek is very charming and not very deep in most parts. However, it's quite rocky, so we urge you to be very cautious with children and pets - never leave them alone in or near the creek. It's also very dangerous after a rainfall.

A note on cleaning fees:

* We charge a $50 cleaning fee. This fee offsets our costs for turning over the cottage in between stays. We do not enter the house once you have checked in (unless there is an emergency or you ask us to).
* It does not fully cover the cost of cleaning the cottage - our cleaners are paid above the living wage rates for our county.
* Charging this fee allows us to be flexible in stay length. Having a one-time fee incentivizes longer stays, and makes a one-night stay worth the extra effort!
* We only have ONE chore - we ask that you take the trash to the curb if you're staying there on trash day! Otherwise NO CHORES - no need to vacuum, do laundry, strip beds. We provide light cleaning materials in case there's a spill.

Would stay again

Only 2 complaints, backyard really needed to be mow was pretty high and listed gas grill we brought food for grilling and there was only charcoal grill with no charcoal. House was in a very quiet neighborhood. It was very clean inside and very nice. Would definitely stay again.

Stay

Cleanest place I have stayed at so far. Only downside (and this may have been my fault not reading everything) not a fully fenced in yard so dogs still had to be on leashes. Otherwise, location and spot was perfect!

Bachelorette Success!

We stayed here as a small group of 4 for a bachelorette weekend. The house was beautiful and perfect for us. They had enough towels and robes for us to use. The hot tub was so nice and relaxing in the cool evening. The house is located a quick and easy drive from the vineyards. Lots of fun!

Cute cottage

My wife and I stayed here while visiting some friends. It is a cute little cottage. We didn't cook much other than breakfast so did not find the lack of a dishwasher a problem. I would have preferred access to the washer/dryer on location, but it is limited to the owners and staff. The finishes and furniture were in great shape and many of the minor necessities were available on site.

Good location, missing niceties

My family of 4 plus our dog stayed here for 3 nights to do some hiking in the area. It is in a quiet neighborhood located within minutes of multiple state parks and tons of wineries. They even provided dog dishes for our use. Pros: - Location is excellent for exploring the nearby state parks and wineries, plus it's reasonably close to Ithaca and Watkins Glen - Spacious kitchen - Comfortable beds - Clean - Window A/C units kept the bedrooms comfortable on hot days Cons: - There is NO storage available for renters. Every single closet, drawer, cupboard, and cabinet is filled with the owner's belongings. There was even half a freezer full of food. - Outdoor seating beyond the picnic table would have been nice (we don't travel with outdoor chairs since it's always been provided wherever we go). It's a decent, quiet yard, but there is nowhere to relax. - Very little soft seating in the living room for a family to use (one old couch and one upright chair) - No washer & dryer available (they're there, but labeled for owner's use only) - Kitchen isn't very well stocked if you plan to do anything beyond the very basics (e.g., only 2 dinner plates, no cutting boards for meats, no grill utensils, only one very old cookie sheet, etc. We made a July 4th BBQ dinner and struggled to find things to use. But if you need a couple dozen wine glasses, you'll be all set. Overall, the location is good and it's reasonably comfortable for short stays if you don't mind living out of your suitcases and not making many meals. For anything beyond a weekend, I'd probably reconsider.

Quaint Cottage

This is a quaint cottage nestled between Senica and Cayuga lakes. It is the perfect spot if you're enjoying time yeah it's going time in New York's wine country, or if you're just looking for a wonderfully relaxing area to do a small getaway.

Great Stay

I stayed here last October with a friend. When my spouse and I were planning our own trip to the Finger Lakes a few months later we decided to stay here because I had such a great experience last time. The house is very clean and easy to get to. It's also located very close to Cayuga and a short drive to wineries and breweries on Seneca. The area is also very quiet which is nice to come back to after being out all day exploring. I would definitely stay here again.

Perfect girls trip!

Perfect cottage in interlaken, close to many of the areas local wineries. The host was super accommodating and kind throughout the check in process. The cottage is beautifully done with comfy beds and an updated bathroom. We hand wonderful time and would book again for our next trip to the finger lakes. The cabin was very dog friendly too-but so clean that you’d have no idea aside from the dog bowls and treats they have available. Highly recommended!

Birthday Celebration

If you’re looking for a nice, clean, small, safe homey cottage with up-to-date amenities inside, this is perfect for a small group or family. The town itself isn’t exactly hopping, but it’s location is central to everything we could have asked for. We squeezed wine-tasting, cheese-tasting, fine dining, historical visits, shopping, evening games, and waterfall hikes into an extended birthday celebration weekend. It was our first visit to the FLX, and we had a blast!

About the host

Hosted by Sara Abernethy

Host profile image
I bought this property on a whim - I was vacationing in the Finger Lakes for the second time and realized how much I loved the area. I put an offer in on Brookside on the last day of my long weekend. Since that time, I've purchased several more properties in the Finger Lakes, and during the pandemic, I accelerated my long-term plan and actually moved to the Finger Lakes permanently. Brookside holds a special place in my heart, but with Mill Creek Cabins, New Park Event Venue, and one more coming soon...I truly do have roots here now.

Why they chose this property

This property was falling apart when a local investor decided to bring it back to life. He spent three years painstakingly re-building every part of this old 1800s house by hand, and the result is outstanding. Not only was the home delivered to us in perfect condition, but there was love and care put into every decision. The babbling brook only adds to the romance of this cottage.
