Private lakefront on Seneca Lake
Private dock
Lakefront firepit
Outdoor living spaces
Located on a quiet dead end street
This quaint cottage offers 2 bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the second bedroom with a Double bed. The bathroom has heated floors and a walk in shower.
You can cook in the fully outfitted kitchen, enjoy a meal at the dining table or sit in the living room and take in the lake view through the large window overlooking the patio and the lake.

The outdoor space has a great patio for dining, just outside the back door of the cottage, and enjoying the view of the lake below. The small cabana-style building down by the water is a great place to relax out of the heat of the sun. The cabana has a small beverage fridge, a seating area, heat/ac, and is the perfect spot to observe the water if you'd prefer to stay out of the weather. There is also a secondary deck attached to the cabana with outdoor seating areas and a firepit right on the shore that you can use for a cozy evening fire.

Whether visiting the area for our wonderful wineries, getaway, romantic weekend, or fishing our world-famous lake trout, you will love Blackbird Cottage on Seneca Lake!

This was part of a Daddy-Daughter trip and a perfect place to unwind after six days in NYC. We found it a peaceful location at the end of a long road in a quiet village. Our goal for this stay was to see amazing waterfalls and eat a lot of ice cream. Recommend the nearby Keuka outlet trail for a pleasant hike. Also don’t skip visiting the Spotted Duck Creamery.

The trailhead is just on the other side of the village and great for a hike or trail running

This house was clean, cute, comfortable, and a great location. We spent our time there during the week. The lake was very quiet and peaceful. One recommendation would be to add two more chairs down by the dock, near the fire pit.

Long weekend getaway

We stayed Thursday thru Monday. We did some hiking to see some local waterfalls along the Keuka Outlet trail. As non wine drinkers we visited some cool breweries around Seneca and Penn Yan. We had dinner at Beef and Brew and Parker’s Grille which were both great. We spent Saturday at The Windmill Farm and Craft market. It was great watching the sunrise over Seneca Lake sitting in the dock

Girls trip, peaceful, had everything we needed.

We had a great time. The house is great for a small getaway and has everything you need. This was my second stay on the property. The lake itself was pretty disappointing this time as it was filled with grass and there were a TON (at least five, two of which were massive) water snakes living near the dock/shore line that made themselves known. Otherwise the property is clean, well maintained, and charming.
