About this property
A Cottage on the Bay: Adorable Lakeside Cottage Near Geneva
Enjoy breathtaking views of Glass Factory Bay on Seneca Lake from this charming lakeside cottage, perfect for couples, families, or small groups seeking a peaceful Finger Lakes retreat. Nestled on a quiet property with a shared circular driveway, the cottage is easily accessible, and a short walk down the manicured lawn and up a set of stairs brings you to the front door, where potted gardens and sparkling water greet you.
The upper-level studio features an open layout combining the kitchen, dining area, and bedroom. A large picture window offers unobstructed views of the lake, filling the space with natural light. The kitchen is fully equipped to prepare meals, whether it's a quick breakfast or a lakeside dinner, and the dining area provides the perfect spot to enjoy them while watching the sunlight dance across the water. The main sleeping area includes a comfortable queen bed, ensuring restful nights with the gentle sounds of the lake nearby.
A spiral staircase leads down to the lower level, which offers a second sleeping area with a queen bed and a twin-over-full bunk, ideal for families or small groups. This level also includes a functional bathroom with a standup shower, utility sink, and commode, and provides direct access to the lakefront lawn and expansive deck. The deck is the heart of the cottage, perfect for lakeside meals, relaxing in Adirondack chairs, playing games, or simply soaking up the sun. In the evenings, watch the stars appear over the water for unforgettable nights by the lake.
Water enthusiasts will love the easy lake access, with a dock and rowboat ready for use. Paddle along the shoreline, fish from the dock, or take a refreshing swim in the clear waters of Seneca Lake. The property's location offers convenient access to Seneca Lake wineries, public golf courses, restaurants, and shopping at the Waterloo Premium Outlets. Whether you plan to explore local attractions, enjoy outdoor adventures, or simply unwind by the water, this cottage provides the ideal base.
While the railroad tracks run behind the property, they have minimal impact on guests and add a touch of local character. Inside, the cottage is cozy, bright, and well-appointed, with open spaces and thoughtful amenities that make every stay comfortable. Whether you're enjoying morning coffee on the deck, preparing meals in the kitchen, or relaxing with loved ones watching the sunset, this lakeside cottage offers a tranquil and welcoming retreat.
This property is perfect for anyone seeking a blend of relaxation, lakefront fun, and easy access to the best of the Finger Lakes. From paddling along the shoreline to grilling on the deck or simply soaking in the serene surroundings, every moment spent here is an opportunity to make lasting memories.
RR Tracks run behind this property.
