Full of old-world charm, this lakefront property is tucked into the hillside on the southwestern shores of Seneca Lake, mere minutes from Watkins Glen. Enjoy 150 feet of shale waterfront, a dock with a motorized boat lift, a new kayak, two canoes, and a rowboat to take out on the water. Admire the view on covered porches and take soothing soaks in the private hot tub. An outdoor firepit and indoor fireplaces to add warmth, while a window air-conditioning unit adds comfort to your next Finger Lakes escape.

This hillside home sits on the southwestern shores of Seneca Lake, close to excellent wine tasting and wine tours along the Seneca Lake Wine Trail. Launch your personal watercraft at the public boat launch at Severne Point (eight miles north), hit the local hiking trails, and view the spectacular waterfalls in the area. Book a sailing trip with Schooner Excursions (nine miles south), and spend an afternoon at Tabora Farm and Winery (two miles north).

Beautiful cabin with so much space

My wife and I enjoyed our stay. This cabin has everything, multiple rooms, view and access to lake Seneca, and accessible to many wineries. I wish we spent more time at the cabin to enjoy it to the fullest. We would highly recommend this location to our friends and family.

Hidden oasis

We had a wonderful time. Very peaceful retreat tucked into scenic nature and surrounded by waterfalls. Kitchen and bathrooms were updated thoughtfully and we greatly appreciated the dog friendly amenities. The hot tub was a killer bonus! Highly recommended for nature lovers who appreciate a quiet and lovely experience.

Buttercup house on the lake

Rustic home on Lake Seneca. Was just wife and I but plenty of room for larger families or groups. Close to all the vineyards. In warmer months the house has its own boats/kayaks that can be used. Nice hot tub to relax in at the end of the day with great view of the lake!

Beautiful location, but overpriced

The cottage is just that - a cottage. Nothing fancy, a throw back to a simpler time. After owning an old cottage on a lake we thought we knew what to expect. While the location and views from the porch are lovely, the amenities leave a lot to be desired. I would have a hard time recommending Belle’s Buttercup to anyone else and feel we paid way more than we should have.

Rustic home on Seneca Lake

Nice views and lots of space for a large group to enjoy time at the lake. Many beds to choose from on two different levels and modern appliances. The interior of the cottage is rustic but clean and feels like your stepping back in time.

Beautiful scenic views from porch, but a ton of spiders inside House and outside house

Beautiful property to stay at, nice location, not happy about all of the spiders that were all over the beds and hanging from the ceilings coming down at night and jumping out running across the floors when you’re trying to get ready for bed couldn’t go in the hot tub at night, cause it was loaded with spiders all around the hot tub given when you cleared them off of the room, they came right back, definite problem.

Beautiful spot, poor bathrooms

Great spot, nice old cottage but the bathrooms could use some work. Doors that work properly would be a nice addition. There were many other minor issues with either AC units, noisy dehumidifiers, rock hard king bed.. it was still a nice get away but we won’t be back to this one.

Wonderful lakeside getaway.

We were greeted by a cascading waterfall just outside the door! The wraparound porches and cozy tucked away nooks offered perfect places to talk, play a little music, read, nap, and enjoy the dazzling lake view. The quaint old fashioned decor spoke of a long history of happy family times. Modern conveniences including a jacuzzi kept us comfortable and relaxed.

What a Lake

This property is in a perfect location. The house was clean and had all the stuff you could need to enjoy your stay. Silverware, cups, plates towels, blankets, bedding ect. Just beware the low ceilings down stairs, they got my husband a few times. The lake and docks are stunning. The hot tub was very clean. All around a great stay.

Nice Cozy Place

Nice place on the lake, very quiet and private, everything is included in the rental, nothing really to bring (except keurig coffee pods) Plenty of room we had a family of 8 including small children. The kitchen was a bit crowded, the furniture the house is on the older side. But overall nice place to rent. We would recommend. Thank you for your hospitality.

I stayed here with two girlfriends for a weekend trip. We had such a blast and the house was way bigger than we expected! Three separate porches to hang out on, 3 bedrooms upstairs, 1 bedroom downstairs with an additional living room that can function as a 5th bedroom because of the trundle daybed. Multiple families could stay here and have plenty of space. The kitchen had everything we needed and there were tons of extra blankets. We had one issue where we couldn't locate a hairdryer, and someone brought us one right away. I was a bit nervous about the reviews mentioning spiders, but we literally saw one and it was in a sink - totally normal for a lake house. My only minor issue was the road/driveway leading to the property - my car is a bit low profile and would scrape when going from the road leading up to the driveway pointing down (a bit of a blind move and made me anxious each time!). But the whole thing felt like an adventure and it was awesome!

A very special location

While I agree that some of the furniture could stand to be replaced with more comfortable furniture, the location is really magical, imo. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes and implements for cooking. The majority of the beds were comfortable. What really makes the place special is all of the outdoor seating, the views, and the sense of a long history of enjoyment of the place over many years. I enjoyed the sense of being tucked away there, with little need to worry about any interference with our enjoyment of the location. The hot tub was delightful, as was the fire pit. We didn't use the boats, but it was out of season for them. Overall, I really loved how unique and personal the place was, making it feel like home.

Great location, poor amenities

The location of this property cannot be beat. It's a quiet and gorgeous setting and cannot be beat. The amenities however were not great. The internet didn't work the entire time we were there and the two TVs downstairs did not have working cable boxes. Also note this house does not have anything provided - no paper towels or even salt and pepper. Be prepared to bring everything with you except towels, shampoo/condition and soap.
