Sweetgrass Cottage: Walk to Sheldrake Point Winery, Beach and Boat Launch

A private country cottage above Sheldrake Creek features open floor plan, 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths and a loft. Featuring vintage and "not-so-shabby chic" decor in 50 shades of green, the home sleeps a maximum of 5 guests with 2 queen size beds and a double futon. This an extremely private property with distant views of the lake and a field across the street. An 8 minute leisurely walk lands you at Sheldrake Point Winery or the local boat launch with Cayuga lake access. Enjoy a barbecue or dinner on the back deck and relax by the fire pit after dark. A fully furnished kitchen and nearby grocery, vegetable stand and farmers' markets offers you the option of preparing all your meals at home. Washer and dryer on site (some summer water restrictions may apply in case of drought as our water comes from a well.) Scenic walking, biking, boating and jogging locations abound in the immediate and nearby area, only a half hour's drive to Taughannock Falls and the Ithaca Gorges, Seneca Falls and the Women's Hall of Fame, local Amish Farm Stores, breweries and distilleries. Our location is convenient to both Cayuga and Seneca Lake Wine, Cheese, and Art Trails. Owner lives close by to assist with all your needs. NO CLEANING FEES makes this an economical choice for the savvy traveler!

Very good location; nice amount of space
Location to wineries and other attractions was convenient. Amount of interior space was sufficient for 2 people. Very comfortable bed. Picture of front of cottage is deceptive. Very small area in front and no space in the back or sides. Quite close to the road but not very much traffic. Property has morning sun but shady in afternoon

Sweet grass vacation
The cottage was perfect for our trip to enjoy the finger lakes region because it was centrally located. Roxanne is a terrific host, easily accessible to answer questions about the area. We enjoyed the fire pit and many nights star gazing. We would highly recommend the cottage and hope to travel to New York again and stay at Sweetgrass! Kim and Tom

Great Getaway
Sweetgrass Cottage was a great escape for us. Clean and comfortable it was in the perfect location for us to explore both Cayuga and Seneca Lake wine trails. Close to some very nice hikes we enjoyed our country getaway in the Finger Lakes.

So Far So Good
Thus far the experience has been great. The cottage is quaint, cozy, clean and has a kitchen that carries most of what is needed. Very quiet and a great getaway if you are looking just to slow down the pace. Downstairs bed is very comfortable. TV in living room is equipped with all the apps. The grocery store in Ovid is very meh but it is close; however, there are Wegmans stores in nearby Geneva and Auburn and they are PHENOMENAL (on par with or exceeding Heinen's in Ohio or Publix in Florida). Not alot of sit down food options nearby; again, you may need to travel to Geneva, Trumansburg, Ithaca, Watkins Glen etc for more dine-in options. Make sure to check out the Samich shop in Ovid on 96 across from the gas station. Phenomenal meat ball subs and lunch fare. Overall, I would rate this 5/5 thus far.

Beautiful serene cottage
This is an excellent place to spend a week, close enough to the lake and all the naturally beautiful places Seneca County has to offer! We spent one day at Taughannock State park and one at Lodi State park, both a short drive and spent the rest of the time at Sheldrake point. The cottage itself is gorgeous, rustic and stylish. Wonderful stay, can’t wait to come back!

Country Living near wineries and restaurants
This sweet cottage comes with everything you need and has many thoughtful, cozy touches. We enjoyed sitting on the covered porch and being in the country yet so close to wineries. The nearby farm stand had the best peaches and vegetables. The country road was quiet and we had a peaceful stay. We will be back again!

Wonderful place in a convenient location
We thoroughly enjoyed this place as our home base for exploring the Finger Lakes area. It's about 30 minutes to Ithaca, Watkins Glen, and Seneca Falls and is just up a hill from Cayuga Lake. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Quiet location was perfect for our stay. Highly recommended.

Clean, cozy and comfortable.
We enjoyed our stay at Sweetgrass Cottage. It was very clean, cozy and comfortable. While the cottage was closer to the roadway than we expected, it was typical for houses in the area and still private/woodsy. The cottage did have a bit of a "cabiny" aroma initially but that improved as the doors were opened and we went in and out. Be aware of the drought conditions as mentioned in the amenities portion of the description and check with Roxanne prior to renting if you must have a laundry option. Roxanne was friendly and very responsive to any communications. We would recommend Sweetgrass Cottage when visiting the Cayuga lake area.

Wonderful!
My wife and I had a great trip to the area. The cottage is well maintained, has a wonderful porch and fire pit. This was our first trip to the area and we found it to be fairly quiet in mid June. The Sheldrake Point winery has a wonderful view of the lake and O’malley’s restaurant is a short drive away. Roxanne is a wonderful host!

Lovely summer stay
Roxanne is a wonderful and responsive owner for the Sweetgrass Cottage. The cottage itself is a charming rustic cottage centrally located near Cayuga lake. We found the location ideal for our day-trips around the region from Seneca Falls to Watkins Glen. We stayed during the heat of summer and the A/C in the cottage was a welcome relief from our travels. Thank you, Roxanne.

We loved the property and the location, especially the deck. Our only comment would be to have a can of Raid for ants because we had a lot of ants in the downstairs bathroom. We would definitely recommend this cottage to others and hope to come back in the future.
