1 bed/ba lakeside cottage, large deck, west side of Seneca Lake. Pet Friendly!

This lakeside cozy, 698 square feet of cottage has drive-up access and will put a smile on your face. A gorgeous two level deck will ensure you get panoramic lake view for a beautiful Seneca Lake sunrise and offers shade or sun for your afternoon relaxation. This cottage, originally built as officer barracks on Sampson Air Force Station, then upon base closure sold and relocated to its current location (currently the Sampson State Park is located directly east across the lake).

After descending 15 steps off the deck you can enjoy 105 feet of frontage choosing between natural-sloped shale beach or 60 linear feet of flat lawn created by a break wall. Enjoy time on the pile-driven, 100 ft trex dock with an enlarged platform for lounging at the end.

The Stowaway is less than two miles north of Fox Run Vineyards, in the heart of the Seneca Lake wine country. It is located seven miles south of Geneva, within two miles of Smokin' Pete's Barbeque, four miles south of Roy’s Marina, Port’s Restaurant, Vonnie’s Boathouse. It is 28 miles north of Watkins Glen. There are 3 short term rentals within walking distance of this property owned by different owners but may be available for different groups.

I’ve been the owner of this family property since 2002. This is my primary winter residence and am happy to share the summer with you! I've installed new water resistant flooring (2026) and have a new pull out couch (2025). I can assure you there is nothing better than a quiet morning on the deck over looking the sunrise.

Please Note***This property is alongside the Finger Lakes railway line. This is an active rail line with trains passing by up to several times a day sounding horns during the day and night - weekends are usually not active. This line runs the length of Seneca Lake on the west side so any property along this side of the lake will be affected. There is a 7 mph speed limit for vehicles driving on Locust Grove. This is not an ideal property for toddlers, please be aware of the large drop from the deck.

This property is not handicap accessible.

Well behaved pets allowed with a non-refundable deposit.

I accept payment through this site.

I look forward to working with you!
