About this cottage rental

This lakeside cozy, 698 square feet of cottage has drive-up access and will put a smile on your face. A gorgeous two level deck will ensure you get panoramic lake view for a beautiful Seneca Lake sunrise and offers shade or sun for your afternoon relaxation. This cottage, originally built as officer barracks on Sampson Air Force Station, then upon base closure sold and relocated to its current location (currently the Sampson State Park is located directly east across the lake).

After descending 15 steps off the deck you can enjoy 105 feet of frontage choosing between natural-sloped shale beach or 60 linear feet of flat lawn created by a break wall. Enjoy time on the pile-driven, 100 ft trex dock with an enlarged platform for lounging at the end.

The Stowaway is less than two miles north of Fox Run Vineyards, in the heart of the Seneca Lake wine country. It is located seven miles south of Geneva, within two miles of Smokin' Pete's Barbeque, four miles south of Roy’s Marina, Port’s Restaurant, Vonnie’s Boathouse. It is 28 miles north of Watkins Glen. There are 3 short term rentals within walking distance of this property owned by different owners but may be available for different groups.

I’ve been the owner of this family property since 2002 and lived in this cottage for four years. I loved the sunrises from the dock and a quiet night on the deck over looking the sunset. In 2014, I had wonderful experiences with guests from all over the northeast through VRBO. I then was in a position to help a good friend who needed a place to stay year round. Fortunately for him he purchased a new home! That means he has moved out of the area and this cottage is back available. I am excited to get back into working with you on creating the best time during your visit to the Finger Lakes!

This property is alongside the Finger Lakes railway line. This is an active rail line with trains passing by up to several times a day sounding horns during the day and night - weekends are usually not active. This line runs the length of Seneca Lake on the west side so any property along this side of the lake will be affected. There is a 7 mph speed limit for vehicles driving on Locust Grove. This is not an ideal property for toddlers, please be aware of the large drop from the deck.

This property is not handicap accessible.

Well behaved pets allowed with a non-refundable deposit. The cleaning fee can be 100% refunded if the property is left as it was found.

I accept payment through this site, Paypal or check (if it's far enough in advance) or money order/cashier's check.

I look forward to working with you!

Right on the water. About 20 steps down to a new dock. The train does run close to the house, but very slowly and not very long. The resident neighbors were nice. Upon check in, I noticed there was no toaster. The owner brought over a new one in about an hour! Would stay again for sure.

Overall, the cottage was nice! The view of the lake is amazing and the communication with the property owner was great. My first night the grill was out of propane and Maryanne brought me a new tank within 20 minutes. My only comment for suggestions would be to bug proof the cottage. I don't mind some bugs and of course being on the water I expect it but there were so many bugs to the point that I thought maybe a window was left open. Other than that, everything was perfect!

Nice clean small house. 2 tier large deck, great for sunrise coffee, and eating outside. Entry road is really narrow, and parking spot is small. Don’t bring a large vehicle!

The place was very clean, all the comforts of home and then some. Location was very relaxing and quiet. The view was awesome and easy access to the lake for some swimming and floating. Owner was easy to get a hold of and would respond immediately. Left a lot of information about the area.

We needed to stay somewhere on the west side of Seneca lake for one night and this place was perfect. Dog friendly and right on the water. Close to great restaurants and wineries. The sunrise was beautiful! Highly recommend.

We had a cozy and wonderful getaway staying at this property. The view from the house/cabin was so nice that we ate each night on the deck just for the view of Seneca Lake. In the morning, I had coffee on the deck or on the couch watching the sunrise over the lake. It was the perfect size for 2 of us. It is close to a major grocery store, wineries, breweries, hiking, and museums. We were even treated to the most vibrant rainbow over the lake. We highly recommend this cabin. It was very clean.
