Description

Available Spring, Summer & Fall, Red Creek Cottage sits at the base of a heavily-wooded hill just 50 feet from the lake's edge. With 210 feet of unobstructed lake views in front of you, the picturesque Red Creek to your left & a natural shale beach to your right, you will find true relaxation at our secluded three-bedroom cottage with full unobstructed view of the lake from the living room, kitchen & dining area.

Parking is available on the side yard. Quiet and private on a heavily wooded lot, this lake house with a boathouse is a classic three-bedroom cottage level with the shore of Seneca Lake, set back less than 50 feet from the shore.

The cottage offers a full unobstructed view of the lake from the living room, kitchen and dining area. This lake house has a natural shale beach, a large parking area, both shallow and deep water for swimming, and a break wall. With the lake in front, the woods behind the cottage and the stream that extends back 300 feet along a gully, you will enjoy the peace and quiet and the feeling of being surrounded by nature. Facing east, the front yard stays sunny through the late afternoon, but you can also sit in the shade of our many mature trees (a large willow, maples, firs, birches, a red bud and others). From noon onward the cottage is cooled by the shade of the woods and cliffs, and all-day by the steady breeze off the lake.

•Bed linens, blankets, towels, washcloths, toilet paper, paper towels, tissues, napkins, sponges, kitchen towels, dishwashing liquid are provided.

•The cottage has one bathroom downstairs with a shower.

•WiFi, recreational equipment

•A large picnic table seating 8, a patio dining table and chairs seating 6 with umbrella, and several lounge chairs

•Gas barbeque grill with fuel, and grill for cooking over the fire circle

•Two kayaks and two canoes with life preservers in all sizes

•We request that guests separate recyclables (paper, cans, and bottles). The trash and recycling will be removed after you leave.

Unfortunately the cottage is not accessible for people in wheelchairs, or for people with limited mobility. There is a bridge to negotiate over the creek as well as stairs leading to the front door.

A pack-n-play is available for young children.

It’s private and the beach is perfect for relaxing and swimming.

Great place to stay. It’s private and the beach is perfect for relaxing and swimming. The house fit four adults and three kids comfortably. The house was clean and came with lots of toys and games for the kids to play with. Perfect vacation with zero stress. Can’t wait to stay again.

The beach was wonderful for families with a nice, shallow entry. You will not regret staying here!

Red Creek Cottage is the perfect getaway spot in the Finger Lakes. My two elementary-aged boys were in heaven exploring the lake and the creek. The house was the best-stocked Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in, including kitchen supplies, all sorts of lake toys and even firewood. It’s a perfect location to be able to enjoy lots of the beautiful areas the Finger Lakes have to offer. The beach was wonderful for families with a nice, shallow entry. You will not regret staying here!

Becky’s cottage was a perfect fit for our family.

Becky’s cottage was a perfect fit for our family. We have four young children who enjoyed playing on the beach, fishing off the break wall, and using the various water equipment. The cottage property is very private with a lovely lawn area. We hope to be back!

The cottage is in a LOVELY secluded location

The cottage is in a LOVELY secluded location - you can expect to see herons, mergansers, frogs, muskrats, songbirds and more right from the front porch! My daughter and I enjoyed hunting for fossils in the shale creekbed. The owners provided access to a canoe and kayaks, firewood - they were generous with amenities which was SO nice for our family vacation. If you're looking for a peaceful, somewhat rustic, cozy vacation - this is it!

Red Creek Cottage is an absolutely wonderful hidden gem on Seneca Lake.

Red Creek Cottage is an absolutely wonderful hidden gem on Seneca Lake. We very much enjoyed the peace and quiet it offers with direct lake access and easy access (by car) to wonderful hiking trails and wineries in the area.

Becky was fantastic in terms of communication/questions and we'd definitely go back in a heartbeat.

The cottage is adorable and the location is amazing.

The cottage is adorable and the location is amazing. Our kids loved the little rocky beach and went right in the water as soon as we got there. The view is unbelievable and the cottage was homey and comfortable.

Great property and wonderful host!

Rustic and adorable. Lake access is wonderful and private which is hard to come by in the Finger lakes. Communication with Becky is easy and fast. Just a heads up. The access road is steep and, at first, overwhelming. Don’t let it dissuade you though. Once you conquer it, it’s not so bad. Great property and wonderful host!
