About this house rental
Our cottage is very spacious, it has 3 levels with 60 feet of private lakefront with a natural, rustic setting.
Top floor has full bath, and 2 very large loft style bedrooms queen beds each with private deck.
Main floor has queen size bedroom with full bath, fully equipped kitchen including washer and dryer, spacious living and dining room with TV and balcony lakefront deck; large side porch with adjoining 20 foot plus deck.
Bottom floor has large living room. This room has a sliding glass door that opens onto a lakefront deck that accesses a patio dock with bench seat End May through October 1.
In winter, when the lake freezes, our location is perfect for ice fishing and ice sailing as well as local winter activities and events.
Row boat, patio dock, central air & heat, cable TV and WIFI.
We chose to purchase this Waneta Lake property due to it’s 25-30 foot deep waters which make it ideal for water sports as well as year round fishing for bass and musky. The lake is very kayak friendly!
We enjoy all of the activities that the finger lakes offer us to include hiking, biking, kayaking, golfing, antiquing as well as visiting shops and museums to include the nearby “Glen Curtiss Aircraft Museum” and historic “Great Western Winery Tour”.
Most of all we enjoy the breathtaking sunsets and serene starlit evenings from our wrap around deck with family and friends!
***Rentals are weekly only during in season summer months. Sunday to Sunday Mid June through end August. All other times 2 night minimum.

The house was just as advertised. Nice accommodations right on a beatify lake. Exterior of house could use a bit of a power wash and updated gas grill but overall everything was great!

Enough room for all. Water was perfect.

The property was lovely and extremely clean, and there was a lot of attention paid to detail. It was a very comfortable place to stay. They also left a bottle of wine, which was very thoughtful and much appreciated. The owners were very responsive to any questions we had. This is a perfect place for those who are looking for sleeping arrangements suitable for adults. Three bedrooms with queen sized beds is not easy to find. Two full baths is also not easy to find. (Even a bath and a half is hard to find.) I notice that some have a problem with having to take your shoes off when you are inside. I would recommend that those who have a problem with that simply find another rental. This was a great rental for us, and having to remove our shoes when inside was certainly not a deal breaker.

Gave this a 3 rating because inside was clean but outside premise needs TLC. Outside steps was a challenge for bringing heavy coolers to lower level
Very nice view!

We would have given a 4.5 star rating if you can do ½ stars. Mark (owner) was a pleasure to work with, always prompt in his responses. There were some minor things that he was not aware of, but said he will remediate for his future guests (such as having his cleaning person clean the dock, coffee maker having a very slow drip, etc.).
Our family enjoyed our stay at this lakefront house, and particularly enjoyed the fishing right off the house’s dock and the lake views on the dock bench. There are a lot of seaweeds by the side of the dock, great for fish to hide in but not inviting for swimmers.
Having the use of 2 kayaks from the rental was wonderful to explore Waneta Lake. There is a small gravel area which made for easy entry onto the lake with the kayaks. The water in this lake is murky and not inviting to swim in – we were disappointed by this. The watersport activities on the lake are more active on the weekends; but the lake was very serene during the weekdays.
There are steep outside stairs to get to the main level entry, and another set of stairs to the dock. There are similar stairs inside which are less steep, and there is an access door from the parking area that leads into a bedroom. The house gets great afternoon sun; the built-in blinds on the slider doors really helped keep the house cooler. Don’t forget only bed linens are provided; so bring your own towels.

This was our third rental in this location over the last 5 summers. We just keep coming back to it. Mr. and Mrs. Noll are wonderful hosts and everything you see on the listing - especially the photos - is what you'll see when you rent this property. The location cannot be beat - it's silent at night, a great way to get away from it all. You're a 10 minute drive from Keuka Lake ... and close to some very good local farm stands for outstanding fresh produce along the way. Enjoy your time here. Thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Noll for sharing their property!

Peaceful and serine. This location is perfect for many fingerlake activities.
Interior was very clean.
There is a Dollar General up the block. They have everything and then some.
Communication with the owners was easy.
We enjoy this location very much.

The house was beautiful and clean. The only problem I had was that the property did not provide towels. It did list that in the check in rules but I missed it and had to go to the dollar general to buy some. Just not something I expect to have to bring with me when I travel so I wish it was highlighted a little more. Other than that, everything about our quick 2 night stay was great. The views from the back yard in the fall were just stunning.

This house was the perfect retreat and staging point for our mother-daughter trip! Comfortable furnishings, plenty of lake views and beautiful sunsets!

Property was clean, and bottle was appreciated!
You may wish to replace the stair to get onto the deck from water. I had a mishap! Also because of the missing step I was unable to use the kayak.
Overall, definitely recommend the property for those that can handle stairs. Thank you!

We had a wonderful stay at the lake house. My husband and I are from the area and brought our best friends home with us. We enjoyed this place, it had everything we needed, was clean and the owner was very nice! It’s a quiet lake and the husbands enjoyed fishing. Would definitely recommend! Thank you Mark! ☺️

Beautiful lake house, clean and well maintained. Very close to the lake and access for swimming and fishing is great. A/C works great but open the doors and windows and you get a great lake breeze. The 2 kayaks and rowboat are easy to get to and use and we all enjoyed using them. Kitchen was well stocked and a washer and dryer was a bonus. The berdrooms all had closets and the bathrooms were very accessible and very clean. Bring your own towels and food and you are set for a great week. Close to many wineries on Keuka and Seneca. This is a 3-story house so there are quite a few steps. Close to County Road 25 but not much traffic noise. Parking is limited and the motorists tend to drive too fast. Speed limit is 55 but should be 40 considering the Boy Scout camp is just down the road. Overall a very nice lake rental home.

Nice property! Only thing to mention is that parking at the house would be for two compact cars.
Enjoyed the property. Lots of space for our family. A short drive to many attractions. Thanks!

Great Family Getaway
Had a wonderful time, House was just as described. Having the games available made for a great family game night! Wonderful location- was able to get around the finger lakes area & see lots of wineries, museums & go hiking. Would definitely book again if head back to the area.

Beautiful home great location
This home is very nice. Wonderful views of the lake from several rooms. Great decks for outside enjoyment of the lake view while having a glass of wine after doing some wine tasting at local wineries.

Nice rental for adults
Very pretty sunsets. House was nicely decorated and comfortable. The house is right on a busy road with no driveway. It worked ok, but we didn't realize it ahead of time. Also, numerous admonishments to not wear shoes in the house plus a couple of other things (e.g., minimal kitchen staples, fire pit with no chairs that we were allowed to use around it) made us not feel especially welcome. I think the house would be fine for a bunch of adults, but it wasn't great for us as a family with kids.

lakeside beauty!
Relaxing few days on one of the smaller Finger Lakes. The cottage is a great central location for all of the local attractions, Watkins Glen, Corning Glass, and of course the wineries. The cottage is well supplied with kitchen utensils and the use of the kayaks and fire pit were a great addition to unwind in the evenings. We enjoyed our stay and will consider this location again for our next visit to the Finger Lakes Region.--The Welkers

Breathtaking sunsets and great home.
We had a great family vacation at Mark’s home. The home is very well appointed, we found absolutely everything we needed to feel at home. The kids loved swimming and kayaking in Waneta lake. The location is great, close to incredibly beautiful state parks and forests. We ended every day, sitting in the back deck, enjoying breathtaking sunsets by the lake. Highly recommendable!

Fabulous vacation
This trip exceeded my expectations, the house is beautiful and the location on the lake was perfect. Our girls trip was so relaxing, gorgeous sunsets, kayaking and drinking wine by the lake. What’s better than that! The house is beautifully maintained, it’s obvious they put a lot of work into the home. Don’t hesitate to book here, close enough to everything!

Great week on the lake!
We enjoyed another relaxing week at this house. We like that it is right on the lake with its own private dock -- perfect for early morning coffee! The kayaks and row boat were favorites, as well as the balconies that offered quiet reading space.
We cooked most meals at the house and found most everything we needed in the kitchen. Family game nights at the big table and hanging out on the comfy sofa watching the Olympics rounded out our stay!
When not on the water, we visited local wineries/breweries, Watkins Glen Park and the cute town of Hammondsport. We definitely want to come back!

Away from the race track
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Beautiful sunsets, fishing off the dock and great bird watching from the patio. Location is ideal, only twenty minutes from Watkins Glen. We will be back next year!

What a great house!
This is a great house. It was just as it was listed. It was clean, spacious and had everything we could possibly have needed. It was just outside of Watkins Glen so even though we had to drive to get there, the views were great so it was worth it. I hope anyone who gets to stay here enjoys it as much as I did.

Exactly what I think of when I see lakefront house
Beautiful home first and foremost. This is the first time I did a lakefront house rental and I couldn't be happier. You look out the windows and you see perfect sunset coming down on the hills just passed the lake from the dock or even the comforts of inside. The rooms are modern has great AC in each room. The rooms are large and spacious and comfortable. They provided two kayaks for us, propane tank for the grill and wood for the fire pit. It's only about 15 minutes for most everything you need or want, from the grocery store which has everything you need to jet skiing. I highly recommend

Inside the property was well maintained and stocked like is stated in the listing. The location on the water was very nice. Nice to listen to the birds and the lapping lake.We personally wouldn't visit this lake again due to all of the lake weed. Not a swimming friendly lake. The kayaks were very nice to have though. Also, maybe more upkeep to the outside to help with the plethora of spiders and bugs. Even access to a hose for guests to hose them down if needed.

Dreamy Relaxing Summer Getaway
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our week on Waneta Lake. We loved the home and the amenities. We spent most of our time on one of the many decks over looking the lake. We enjoyed swimming, floating and kayaking. The sunsets were stunning and the evenings at the fire pit gazing at the flames eating s’mores was the perfect way to end the day.
Our hosts were very easy to work with and helpful when needed.... not to mention the house was equipped with all the essentials. We would love to have stayed longer and are thinking about when we can return!!!
Thank you Mary and Mark

Perfect Lakefront house
Enjoyed our Thanksgiving vacation on Lake Waneta! There is so much room for everyone in this house. Great location on this lake & close to quaint towns. Hope to return in the summer to enjoy the outdoors!

Nice lake front home.
Nice comfortable home for 3 couples. Thoughtful touches such as a bottle of wine on arrival. Beautiful views and decks. Only disappointment was early checkout time of 1030, and with the required clean up, it makes for a rushed morning.
