About this property

Shore Thing Waneta Lakefront Cottage

  • Your family will be close to everything when you stay at this centrally-located cottage on the west side of Waneta Lake. Just steps away from the water and only minutes from wineries, restaurants, hiking, and more, this is the perfect location for a Finger Lakes getaway.

    This property promises cottage vibes and lake views with a large porch overlooking Waneta Lake just steps away. With the house located on Waneta’s west side, morning light streams into the open living and dining area through the large glass doors. Guests will enjoy the recently remodeled kitchen and coffee bar. The house has two bedrooms and additional sleeping on a couch that converts to a Full bed (best for kids - it's not soft!). It’s a great size for families or couples. You can even bring your furry friend!

    In summer, guests can enjoy outdoor dining on the deck, a large fire pit, easy access to a private lakefront and dock, and a yard for games like cornhole. In cooler weather, the house stays cozy with baseboard heat and a propane stove.

    The house sits on a quiet road with very little traffic. It is nice for walking or running. Parking is easy with a large driveway. The house is about 2 miles from a public boat launch, and the lake is great for fishing, kayaking, boating, and more!

    If you are bringing your own boat, please note that the property does not have a boat lift, so you will need to be prepared to anchor to the shore. The dock is not sturdy enough to tie a boat up for an extended period of time.

    This property is a great central location between Keuka and Seneca Lakes. It’s an easy drive to Watkins Glen and Hammondsport. Just a short drive away, you’ll find charming towns with a variety of shops and restaurants; wineries, distilleries, and breweries; amazing hiking trails and waterfalls; farm markets; Horseback Riding and activities for all ages.

Nice small cabin on the lake. Really good lake access with a nice dock. We only had paddleboards and were on the water every day. Cabin is on the smaller side but fit our family of 4 and dog just fine. The cabin is older, but comfortable and in a great location. We were able to get to some nice regional wineries and ice cream as well as a cool hike at Watkins Glenn. Was a short stay unfortunately and got some rain but a good time. Had a small issue with the lock upon arrival, but communication with the owner was on point and was resolved almost immediately.

This was a wonderful little cottage for my husband, our two small dogs, and me. Although it’s on a smaller lake, it was still conveniently located for day trips throughout the Finger Lakes. Our host was very responsive and helpful with a few small quirks we encountered during our stay. The cottage has more of a traditional cabin feel rather than a modern rental, and we absolutely loved that cozy charm!

The property was nice, however the photo of the outside property was not as it really depicted in the photo. It was not flat all the way to the lake as there was a slight hill going down to it. The deck was fine but the table on the deck was really dirty and we had to clean it a lot to get it presentable. The property inside was very nice and comfortable and the kitchen was great. The kitchen could use more coffee mugs, and a few more oven casserole ware. There was also a plumbing issue in the bathroom which didn’t get resolved within one work day so we decided to cut our vacation stay short. We were refunded the money for the days we weren’t there with no issues at all.

Perfect little cottage on the lake! Walk out to swimmable lake. Mesh pad on lake bottom made it easy to walk out to swim! We rented kayaks, they delivered to the house! Watkins Glen and Seneca Mills hikes were close by! Also short drive to Weis Vineyards!Hosts Tim and Shea we very accommodating, answering all my questions before I rented! The house had everything we needed for a family of 4 (plus our pup) vacation!
