Sunset Shores for a Reason

This lake home sits on the eastern shores of Seneca lake. There is a boat house on the beach that holds fun water toys including 2 paddle boards, 3 kayaks, a paddle boat and many different floats. There are 6 life jackets. The dock area has plenty of seating. For someone wanting to dock their motor boat we have two boat lifts and mooring whips that can hold a boat temporarily for a visitor. On the beach we have a fire ring for our guests and cut fire wood is on the property.
There is a separate bedroom which feels like a little apartment with a king sized bed, 1/2 bath, TV and coffee nook. This is accessed by going outside under one of the porches to the lower level. There are many different seating areas with tables on each level.
The lower level porch also has a hot tub, hammock, porch swing and has its own beverage refrigerator. Enjoy the hot tub which feels wonderful anytime of the day. There is a washer /dryer in the full bathroom, on the main level of the house with laundry soap and drier sheets provided. Wash clothes, hand and bath towels provided. Hot tub/ beach towels also provided. There is an outdoor grill and a full kitchen with utensils, pots and pans, oil, vinegar, seasonings, coffee (ground and Keurig), teas, sugar, non-dairy creamers and condiments. Aside from the full refrigerator/freezer in the kitchen there is also a separate beverage refrigerator. Upgraded radiant heat flooring is available in the living room and bedroom facing the lake, on the main level. AC units are in windows of all bedrooms, in warmer months. High speed internet and 3 Smart televisions are provided. There is a large screen TV in the living room that has Netflix, Pandora and Prime. There is a new couch which has three electric recliners, USB ports and seats 6. Upon request a high chair and pack-n-play are available. The water is drinkable from any sink due to a UV light/ filtration system. The neighbors are wonderful if ever needed but not intrusive. This area has many wonderful restaurants, wineries, breweries, unique shops, hiking/ biking trails and many summer activities in Watkins Glen, which is 5 mins away. The views here are so beautiful it feels like the sun is setting just for you. Come see this wonderful lake getaway. We call this sunset shores for a reason!
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.
