Spend your afternoons tasting local vintages at Ventosa Vineyards or Three Brothers Winery, or stop by Bottomless Brewing for a craft pint.

We just loved it here, the location was superb with a deck on the lake to enjoy. The house was very comfortable and spotlessly clean and plenty of space to move around. Its somewhere we would love to live let alone visit again!
We very much enjoyed our time at the Willow Cove cottage. It was close to restaurants, shopping, wineries, and just far enough away from all of those things too. The house is very comfortable, with many of the amenities of home.
Loved this property!! Perfect for a small family. Great location, and amenities. Only AC units but the lake breeze at night keeps it all cool. We will definitely be back!
Could not have asked for a nicer property for our vacation. We come down to the area for the Watkins Glen race and enjoy staying in the area. This property was incredible. The lake view from the house and the dock were awesome. The house had everything we could ask for and we would love to stay there again.
The property location is wonderful, and the house is very comfortable. We had a great time using the kayaks and canoe for the weekend and especially enjoyed the sunset on the lake! Thank you for providing life jackets, and you should really advertise the fire pit! We had a nice fire Friday night and made s'mores. The property management was very responsive and helpful. 5/5 stars!!!

The property is quite outdated; interior and exterior. And the carpet in the house does not give a real clean and fresh overall feeling. Especially if one of your kids is allergic. Outside it needs more TLC, gardening and furniture is not really comfortable. As we arrived they could have taken the effort to sweep the terrace, cleaned the furniture etc.. Though we loved the location, the sunset, the kajaks which were available, very quite location and neighborhood.
Stayed here for a long weekend. Although the lake house is older, it was such a wonderful stay! House was cleans, wrap around porch and dock were perfect for early morning coffee and late night relaxation. Also loved the sunroom/addition. The street is quiet and safe. Close to some very good wineries and breweries. It is also close to the town of Geneva and restaurants. Can’t wait to return next year!
The house was located on a private road, quiet neighbors, beautiful view. The house was spacious, the deck was large, the kitchen was well appointed! Definitely plan on a return visit!!
This is a spacious, clean, nicely appointed home with everything you need to enjoy your stay. We loved the long dock with the two sturdy Adirondack chairs to watch the beautiful sunsets. The kayaks and canoe were in good condition and we enjoyed using them on the water. Overall, we would stay here again.
