Cozy Cabin With 165 Ft Beach and wood-fired hot tub! Center of FLX wine country!
The Green Duck is simply an easy house to be in. At the end of a private road, you'll find our charming 1 bedroom lake house- which includes a full kitchen and living room area with a bathroom (standup shower only). We have just added a luxurious cedar wood-fired hot tub for the 2025 rental season -we have tried it and it is divine! The house is equipped with washer and dryer! We like to keep all the screened windows open all summer and let the breeze keep the house cool, but if you need it, theres AC in the bedroom and the sun room that cools the whole place. There is working WIFI, DVD system, TV channels, but save that for a rainy day. You'll be spending most of your time outside on the deck or down on the beach and/or swimming dock. There are 2 kayaks for your use as well as some extra life jackets. Plenty of deck chairs for sitting or laying out in the sun. A great place for bird watching (bald eagles!) and fishing right off the dock! 2 fire raised metal fire pits (one on the beach and one in the yard) for those nighttime bonfires! This property is unique as we get both Sunrise on the lake and sunset over the hills of Fox Run Winery! One last thing - a charming and historic train runs next to the house. The train seems to have no set schedule, but seems to run very infrequently. Sometimes not coming for days on end and other times passing by up to 3 times in one day. We see this as part of the charm of the place- the train goes slow and the conductor will even sound the whistle for you if you wave at the train! All in all - this is the perfect house for a quiet, get-a-way - full of fishing, swimming, laying around, working on your new book, or a just a romantic rural experience! Oh, and if it gets too quiet - Historic Downtown Geneva is a 15 minute drive. There you can find gift shops, a cinema, The Smith Opera House, grocery stores, Linden Street, full of shops and great farm-to-table restaurants and a lakefront park.
*** This is a year round rental. We spent last winter here and made some great memories. I must say the place is stunning during all four seasons. We do ask the guests DO NOT use the wood stove (for safety reasons). The house is well insulated. There is electric heat (Thermostat), as well as some very advanced, high-end space heaters for the areas that don't heat up as well. If you would like to see some photos of the place in winter time, just ask and I will email them to you.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

The view from the cabin, hot tub and dock is outstanding! Hearing the water lapping up against the shore is so calming! Very private and quiet! We were actually hoping train would go by but one did not. We are already looking to return!

We had a fantastic stay at this Green Duck! The location is perfect with incredible views of Seneca Lake, and the space was just right for two adults. The cabin was cozy, comfortable, and well thought out—everything we needed was provided, with clear and easy-to-follow instructions. The hot tub was such a treat, especially at night when we could relax under the stars. The bed was very comfortable, and the whole place felt warm and welcoming. One day, we took a quick drive to Niagara Falls, which made the trip even more special. Highly recommend this cabin for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with amazing views! Thanks, Jonny, for sharing your slice of paradise!

UNIQUE is the word for the Green Duck cottage. Besides the backyard splendor of Seneca Lake (with multiple decks and seating from which to reflect), and a front yard that offers a gorgeous vineyard view, especially at sunset, this spacious cottage has personality! Primary colors punch out of a well-stocked full kitchen. Whimsical and vibrant paintings and an eclectic mix of artworks showcase, perhaps, host Jonny’s own hand. And a smoker grill and the hot tub allow for special DIY deliciousness and relaxation. Oh, and don’t let the occasional train deter your choice to stay here. It lumbered by twice during our 3-day stay and was more exhilarating and cool than a bother. Private, yet so close to Watkins Glen and local waterfalls, super amazing ice cream, and vineyards and farms in every direction. Our favorite moment: sitting on the dock from late afternoon to sunset on a day when the lake was totally calm, watching gulls darting and diving to catch bugs, and taking in the changing clouds and light reflecting on the lake until it shimmered like mercury. It was truly awesome.

Memorable First Visit to the Finger Lakes – Even Better Than Expected!We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this property! The location was perfect—close to everything we wanted to explore, including Seneca and Keuka Lakes, Watkins Glen, Geneva, and even an Amish Flea Market. We visited four wineries, went hiking, kayaking, and enjoyed so many other activities that made our trip unforgettable.The property itself was exactly as advertised. It offered total relaxation with a beautiful lake view, a hot tub, and a fire pit—perfect for unwinding after a day of adventure. We were even lucky enough to catch a full moon, which made the evenings even more magical.Jonny was a fantastic host—responsive, helpful, and full of great recommendations for food, drinks, and activities. His guidance really enhanced our experience.We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to explore the Finger Lakes. It was our first visit to the area, and it turned out to be more memorable and enjoyable than we ever imagined. Can’t wait to come back.

Wow, what a week! This was one of the most relaxing and peaceful vacations we’ve had in a while. The cabin is utterly adorable, clean, stylish and comfortable - definitely a place where you don’t mind staying in to enjoy all it has to offer. The lake views are gorgeous and the cabin itself is situated in such a private spot where you really feel like you’re in your own private world. When you do venture out, there are fantastic wineries that are so incredibly close by! I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the wood fired hot tub. It’s so amazing to unwind in it at the end of the day and take in the sunset over the vineyard or the shimmering lake on the other side. This property has been carefully cared for and curated and we loved everything about it. The host, Jonny is so helpful and friendly and offered great suggestions for the area. We truly hope to return one day to explore more of the finger lakes. A week long stay was wonderful but we can see returning for more. Highly recommend this property!

Hands down, this was one my favorite VRBO stays of all time. The property was immaculately clean, well appointed, and very comfortable. We loved hanging out lakeside and watching the eagles and ospreys fish. The location is quiet and feels secluded, and yet restaurants, shopping, waterfalls, hiking, and (of course) wineries are just a short drive away. If I could give it six stars, I would!
