We used this cottage as a base to relax and explore the Finger Lakes during a family road trip. The cottage was welcoming and quite spacious. Cozy beds, well supplied kitchen, fantastic washer & dryer, and gorgeous lake views. The canoe and kayaks were great as the lake was calm and quiet. We didn’t find the area in front of the cottage to be swimming friendly though, as there were lots of plants just below the water’s surface. We headed to Watkins Glen (15-20 minutes away) to hike to the waterfalls and swim in the large pool. We also explored a couple wineries, Shtayburne Farm for cheese and ice cream tasting, along with the town of Corning and the Corning Museum of Glass (highly recommended, 30-35 minutes away). The cottage was always appreciated upon our return!
