About the Owner

Welcome! We are Lauren and Jeff Smith, and with our two daughters - couldn't be more happy to share our home with you!

We live 30 minutes from the cottage, but our love for this lake came several years ago when we were kayaking with our girls. It was a hot day and we saw these adorable cottages along the shoreline and said "someday we would love to have one of those for our family!" The opportunity presented itself, and we haven't turned back, even spending weekends here ourselves. We knew we wanted to share this with other families, to help them make memories just as we have. We wanted to offer our guests a home-like experience, so we renovated, furnished, and equipped it with quality furnishings, bedding, and decor. We don't want our guests to feel like they are in an ordinary rental, we want you to feel at home during your stay. Our goal is that by always focusing on you, we will be able to build a legacy of beautiful memories.

Thank you for choosing to stay with us! Welcome to our home and we hope that you enjoy your stay at the Cottage at Poplar Cove. In this guide book you’ll find all the information for the house and our favorite local places to visit! If you have any questions or need anything at all during your stay please don’t hesitate to contact us!

Welcome to the Finger Lakes and enjoy your stay!

SO Cozy

The house was cozy, we felt right at home. Kitchen was easy to use, we were close to entertainment and local wineries. Lake access and lawn games made our trip so much more enjoyable. Would recommend and would stay here again.

Very peaceful

We gathered by the cottage, basking in the warmth of the fire, enveloped by the serene sounds of the lake. As evening fell, we watched the sunset dip below the horizon, the tranquility of the cottage replenishing our energy. We spent two nights away from the hustle and bustle of the city, a truly rejuvenating retreat!

Highly Recommend to Everyone

Large windows made the spectacular view of Owasco Lake available from the living room, dining room and kitchen. We were there only three days in March to enjoy seeing relatives who live in the area and the house made our visits easy. On our last full day the temperatures warmed up into the 60s and the sun shone brightly on the water which made a birthday dinner celebrating one of our beloved family members even more wonderful.

Because we are all a bit long in the tooth, that is to say elderly, the person sleeping on the second floor found it difficult to get up and down the circular stairway, especially when carrying things. Of course, a family younger than we should not have any issue with the stairs.

The place is beautiful, even in the off season. Summer there must be amazing.
Lauren took the initiative to text me when power was out in the area. We were not at the house at the time and were unaware of the situation. She informed me when power was restored to the area.

Lauren's lakeside home is a beautiful place for a family weekend getaway! Peaceful and serene, with lots to do both at the house and in the surrounding area. Lauren is a friendly and responsive host - and provides a full itinerary of fun activities. I recommend staying here and I would again!

We loved the history and kayaks!

We were there in the fall with a group of friends for the weekend and it was lovely to look out on the lake from the very comfy couches that easily fit all 5 of us. Next time we want to come back and use the kayaks! Hiking and cidery and Seneca Falls Women’s Right Museum highly recommended and nearby!
