Vacation rentals in Lakemont

What a wonderful 4-day stay in a perfect cottage for my 3 middle aged daughters and me on our “girls’ trip!” The house had everything we needed and was perfectly located for our visits to wineries, breweries, Watkins Glen State Park, Ithaca, and many other places in the Finger Lakes region. We loved our evenings by the fire pit with the stunning lake view and beautiful sunsets. The comfortable seating on the covered porch made our one rainy evening enjoyable, and we continued to have fun in the sturdily built game room which became our “safe place” during an unexpected tornado warning! Jaci’s communication was great, and we highly recommend staying at this lovely cottage!

Do not hesitate to book this little piece of heaven! We stayed a full week and I didn’t want to leave. The deck and pier provide gorgeous views right on the lake. We spent many, many hours outside enjoying the beauty and peacefulness. Tips: As described, be sure to bring in plenty of drinking water. We drank lots of coffee in the mornings, just sitting on that gorgeous deck. If the stairs make you nervous, try the futon. It was quite comfortable, especially turned 90 degrees. Try to use the back door sparingly (unless you have to lock up). Lots of mosquitoes back there! We mostly used the door that faces the lake. We were relieved to find sunblock and bug spray there. We had forgotten those. You’ll definitely need them. Check out The Windmill (15 min) shops. Also highly recommend Hermann J Wiemer winery just 5 min up the road. Great tasting experience. Make a reservation first on their website.

The perfect place for a family of 5 (including my 2 year old). The hosts were very responsive and knowledgeable about the area. They provided great tips on the area. Location is ideal for wine/beer tasting, Watkins Glen and Seneca and Keuke Lake. Buttermilk Falls was an easy 40 minute drive. Right around the corner from Shtayburn Farm for home made ice cream. The house was spotless and well equipped. The appliances were top notch for a home cook like me. All Clad waffle maker and Lavazza espresso machine!!! I miss the high end oven already. Bonus bottle of wine at arrival and complementary wine tasting at their vineyard across the street. definitely coming back!

This was a dreamy peaceful little place. It was a welcomed relaxing space as I just finished a year of teaching. It looked just like the photos. Had many things that one would need to enjoy your stay. I loved the updated touches and bathroom while still being a rustic cabin. The fire place is so cozy. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Lovely house right on Lake Seneca and close to many wineries…host was wonderful and offered many recommendations for the area. There was plenty of space to hang out in different areas. Only thing to be aware of is there is only one shower so if you have a larger group, it’s a bit of a challenge to all get showered and ready to go quickly. Also the upstairs space where there are two of the three bedrooms passes right over the living area so there is no real privacy or quiet up there. Altho the bedrooms up there are beautifully decorated. Again, with kids it’s no big deal but if you have multiple couples or adults staying it is something to note. Overall it was beautiful and well appointed! We had a wonderful time enjoying time with our family!

The cottage is exactly as described and looked just like the pictures which is not always the case. We loved having coffee while listening to the birds and enjoying the view of the lake. On the days it rained it was a peaceful and quiet retreat to relax and read or watch a movie. Kevin gave us lots of great recommendations for restaurants, hiking, breweries, and wineries. We recommend Watkins Glen State Park for hiking and Grist Iron Brewing for food, music, and beer. Both Kevin and Stephanie were friendly and responsive to our needs. Our time on the lake was really special and we would stay at the cottage again.

We had such a great time here! Heidi’s place was clean and in a great location. We loved utilizing the dock and really appreciated all the personal touches that Heidi left for us!

We had an amazing time at this house with our 2 year old. The house was extremely clean and had everything we needed including crib, high chair, etc. Our child especially loved the "hobbit" room underneath the staircase with lots of toys and a chalk wall for her to draw on. It was truly a blast. The kitchen was fully stocked so we were able to cook our own meals which was nice, and watched Netflix on the TV. The area is very convenient to wineries, Watkins Glen with food/shopping and other local attractions like Farm Sanctuary. The host was super responsive and helpful!
