About this house rental
Welcome to Papa`s Paradise, a haven of peace and comfort as you vacation in the Finger Lakes! This lake home is located on the east side of Waneta Lake—a small lake within the Finger Lakes region—within 15 minutes of the village of Watkins Glen and 30 minutes from Corning. The quiet road to the house contributes to the tranquility of the setting, as well as the wildlife you may see from the house. Whether you have a group of two or ten, there`s plenty of room for you to vacation in comfort.
Inside the house you will find a roomy kitchen, with an eat-in island for four and a dining room that seats eight, there’s plenty of indoor seating at meals. If you still need more space, the attached, large deck provides great overflow space and allows you to enjoy the outdoors in comfort. The deck has outdoor dining furniture and chairs for seating/dining and is just feet away from the water. Sunsets are amazing from the deck and enjoying a glass of wine while sitting around the gas fire pit is a wonderful way to end the day.
If the weather doesn`t permit you to use the deck, take advantage of the great room in the middle of the house where you will find comfortable lounge space as well as a pool table. Also in the upstairs great room/bedroom, there is a flat-screen t.v. along with a DVD player which you can enjoy from the couch. So bring your favorite DVD`s for those rainy days--there is also a large collection of DVD`s at the house for you to enjoy as well.
Papa`s Paradise is a family home and has had many multi-generational memories made here. You`ll feel like you`ve taken a step back in time but with all the comforts you need.
The house has an open floor plan with the kitchen open to the dining area and living room. Several sets of patio doors lead to the deck from the dining room and living room and provide an amazing view of the lake. The living room has cathedral ceilings and an open stair case to the upstairs, as well as plenty of seating space and the pool table for a good game of pool--with a ping pong table top if you prefer. There is quite an extensive library of books throughout the house for reading on a rainy day, as well as many board games.
The main floor has an additional sitting room tucked away to one side of the house and just in back of this sitting area is a bedroom with a Queen bed and a full bath with shower and tub.
On the other end of the house, off of the main living room, is a large bedroom (the Primary bedroom) with a king-size bed and an attached full bath with walk-in shower.
Upstairs is a large bedroom/family room with a Queen-size bed and a King size bed. The large walk-in closet, which is connected to the bedroom, has been turned into a small bedroom of it's own and has a Double bed. There is an attached full bath with a shower off of the large upstairs bedroom. This bathroom can only be accessed by walking through the bedroom.
The clear view to the west, from the house and deck, gives you the perfect place to catch the sunset. Use the lawn chairs to relax and watch the lake as you prepare your supper on the deck grill. Two canoes and paddle boat are provided for you so that you can get around on this peaceful lake. You will have your own private dock for boating or swimming.
As a guest, you`ll find no lack of things to do around you. There are many places to hike in the nearby area, including Watkins Glen state park. There are many wineries/breweries around Keuka and Seneca Lake and Corning has a wonderful river walk and street of shops.

The house is spacious, many beds and space to hang out. The grandkids loved the ping pong/pool table. The rear is right on Lake Waneta. There are kayaks, canoe and paddle boat. The kitchen is very well stocked with utensils for all uses.

My husband, myself, and our four year old stayed for three nights in June. My parents and sister came to visit during the day. We enjoyed kayaking on the lake. Saw ospreys and beavers and water lilies. The lake house is perfect for a family gathering with plenty of space and a wonderful open family room with tv and ping ping table. Beautiful views of the lake from the family room and the deck.

This is a beautiful home on a lovely lakefront property. The pictures are exactly what you get. Though the house is easy more spacious than we were expecting. Would love to go back again.

We had 4 adults and 4 teenagers. The property was perfect for us! The teens loved having the upstairs area all for themselves.
The pool table that turns into a ping pong table got a lot of use. So fun to have something to do as a family.
The kitchen is well stocked. It had everything we needed.
Best part is the amazing deck and view of the lake. We spent the majority of our time there.
The paddle boat, canoe and kayaks got a lot of use.
Can’t wait to return

The house and location provided the prefect space for our family of 9 to celebration our mother/grandmother who passed away 6 months ago. House had everything we needed for cooking meals and enjoying the lake. We spent every night on the deck enjoying the sunsets. We would stay here again.

Great VRBO for 3 couples or families. Nice set up. 15-20 minutes from Watkins Glen and wineries Potable water does have a distinct odor make sure to bring bottled water

Papa’s Paradise was a wonderful get away!! Beautiful setting with the lake right there! Lots of light from the sliding glass doors and windows. The house had anything and everything you could need. My group definitely wants to come back!!!

This was a wonderful home to celebrate my mom's 80th birthday. The house was beautiful and plenty of room for 5 adults and a 4 year old. The beds were all comfortable. Even though the 1 bedroom says it was a closet, it has a window and is comfortable, I was happy with it. The house is well equipped and didn't want for anything. The water is potable, but we were happier with bottled water. The view was spectacular from the deck. We used both the paddle boat and kayaks. Thank you for helping us create wonderful memories during our week.

Our family had a blast! Small boats with paddles and life jackets was wonderful. The big open room with kitchen was great for our family. Kitchen was well stocked with appliances. We enjoyed the master bedroom - mattress was great. We are actually looking to get one like it.
No one liked entering the water from the shore but they figured it out with the boats and our paddle boards.
We will probably be back!
PS - loved the big picture of the family!

Great property with plenty of space inside and outside to enjoy quality time together. The home is well equipped with spacious bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, a well-stocked kitchen, and indoor activities including a ping-pong table, large selection of boardgames, and 2 wonderful livingrooms to kick-back and relax. The peddle-boat, canoes and kyaks along with the outdoor grill, and backyard patio overlooking the lake provided the perfect setting. The one drawback, which we resolved by visiting nearby (13 minute ride) Champlin Park, was that you can’t swim comfortably in the lake. The plant growth in the water, which begins at the shore and extends past the dock, is abundant, and while my son swam out to the middle of the lake surrounded by other family members on the peddleboat and kayak he still found himself swimming up against the plants. Champlin Park in Hammondsport added an extra delight for us ,and the town has great shops, icecream and The Aroma Bakery & Art Cafe, with amazing mediterannean cuisine. If we ever wanted to stay in a home again in the Finger Lakes this will be our go-to!

Remembering Dad
Our stay at Papa’s Paradise followed a memorial service for my 95 year old father on his land in Mansfield. Our grown children and their children stayed with us afterwards on Lake Waneta. The lake views were spectacular. We thoroughly enjoyed our time outside on the lakeside deck and traversing the lake in kayaks, canoe and paddle boat. The house was spacious however cleaning was not thorough. Refrigerator water dispenser and ice dispenser were not operational. Water pressure in first floor bathroom was extremely weak.

Family Time
Nothing fancy. Listing said “Laid Back Home”, and that’s what it was for sure! It was comfortable, well stocked, lots of room in the main house for a wheelchair. Great outside atmosphere, deck and so forth. We had an awesome time and there were 7 of us.

This was our second time at Papas, and we’d do it again in a heartbeat. It is the perfect low-key location, so many wonderful accommodations, lake front, and much more!

We enjoyed our retired girls getaway. The cottage was comfortable and quite large. Would be great for families. The ping pong table provided some evening entertainment. It is very convenient and close to Penn Yan, Hammondsport, and Watkins Glen. Wineries everywhere. Since we were visiting on weekdays, some restaurants were closed so good to check ahead.
A memorable few days.

The house and grounds were very nice. The master bath has recently been updated - it’s very nice. The other full bath on the first floor could use an update (particularly the bathtub) but was fine, same for the full bath on the second floor. The private bedroom on the second floor was better than expected (the listing says it was formerly a closet) with a window and space for a dresser. The boat launch was just a couple minutes drive away. The kitchen had everything we needed from coffee maker to lots of pans, dishes, utensils, etc. We truly enjoyed our week. Watkins Glen State Park is a must-see as well as other, closer hikes and creeks.

We all fell in love with this property! This was our third year vacationing in the Finger Lakes with our extended family and until this year we had yet to find our perfect house. Thankfully, we no longer have to keep searching. Everything about this house was perfect. It was airy and spacious but had plenty of private areas as well. The large kitchen had more appliances than I have at home which was a huge surprise. The property is beautiful and the sunsets on the lake did not disappoint. The only thing that we did not like (and is NO reflection on the property or homeowners) was the occasional water snake that would get a little too close to my children who are aged 6, 5 and 3 and freak them out.

The house had plenty of space (3 private bedrooms with extra bonus room bed space plus 3 bathrooms were key for our rental). The view from the back deck was delightful for the morning coffee! Very easy rental and check in process. The rental had everything needed for the stay. Our young adult kids loved the rope swing, access to the canoe, and the ping pong table. A few repairs needed for better functionality but I trust they will be addressed as we move through post-pandemic and get back to “normal”.
