About this space
The Cottage on Waneta is a 3 season, newly remodeled home in the heart of the beautiful Finger Lakes and features 50' of lakefront with dock on a sloping lot. This quaint cottage has an open floor plan with new kitchen, living space and 2 bedrooms. The bath features a custom shower and independent sink area. An enclosed sun porch provides additional sitting and sleeping area, and leads out to a large deck featuring a custom stainless steel outdoor dining table and outdoor sectional sofa.
The space
This is the perfect place to enjoy the activity on the lake and stunning summertime sunsets. A set of stairs takes you to lake side where you can lounge by the lake or fish off the shared dock. There is a gradual sloping swim area to enter the lake. You can also enjoy an evening camp fire at the water's edge fire ring while relaxing in the surrounding Adirondack chairs. Lazy afternoons can be enjoyed under the shade trees or basking in the sun on the grassy lakeside area after a refreshing swim in the lake. Evenings can be enjoyed lake side around the camp fire.
If you enjoy fishing, Waneta Lake is known for large-mouth bass, pickerel, blue gill and more, but perhaps the most popular is the large Muskie fish, which you can enjoy listening to jumping at night. Bring your own boat or enjoy fishing from the 40 foot dock (Seasonally, End of May to October). If you are planning on bringing your own boat, there is a launch at the south end of Waneta Lake. There is room to dock at the lake house during your stay. Please let us know so we can make accommodations. There are 2 single person kayaks available for you to explore the lake. They are shared with the neighboring cottage.
Guest access
You will have the cottage to yourself.
Other things to note
We supply drinking water since the water has a slight sulfur smell. This is common for the area.
