1 bed/ba lakeside cottage, large deck, west side of Seneca Lake. Pet Friendly!

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!

A perfect get away
We absolutely loved the cottage on the lake! The view was beautiful! The host was amazing and the space was perfect!! We enjoyed sitting out back at the fire pit both nights we were there. We cooked on the grill and ate on the deck. I can not say one negative thing about our experience! Can’t wait to visit again!

Wonderful sunrise
This property was located in a perfect area of the finger lakes. We were able to go to Seneca wine trail and Keuka wine trail in short order. The city of Geneva was only a short 10 minute drive away. Geneva has several hip restaurants. We had the best fried chicken at FLX fry bird. The house was easy to access since there was only one short step to get into the house and no steps to sit on the spacious deck. There were steps down to the lake but not too many. If you know anything about the finger lakes some house have many steep steps. Not this house. Everything in the house was in good working order and very clean. We would definitely stay here again, and our dog gave it 4 paws up. The property manager was easy to work with and responded promptly. This property provided a wonderful Finger Lakes experience.

Another great weekend in the Finger Lakes
We enjoyed staying in Maryanne's comfortable home. The house is very spacious and clean and has everything you need for a fun weekend (including an iron and ironing board, which was lucky for us!) The house was available for us to check in early, which was very nice and communicating with Maryanne was easy and fast. The house is close to wineries, breweries, and restaurants. In fact, there is so much to do that we hardly got to use the house/lake! I'd recommend bringing water shoes and maybe pillows if you like them firm, as the ones in the house are very soft (of course it's impossible to stock for everyone's preference). Overall we were pleased with our stay and wouldn't hesitate to return.
