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.

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!

Weekend Getaway

We had the best time at this adorable lake cottage. It was located near many restaurants and wineries and being on the lake was the star of the show. Only thing I would mention if you come here is to bring bug spray as the home is surrounded by trees so it was pretty buggy.

Cozy cottage in a fabulous location

We had a wonderful anniversary weekend at Jonny's lovely cottage. The location - right on Seneca Lake - was perfect for a glass of wine on the dock, bird watching, and relaxing with a book. The cottage was super clean, with everything we needed for the weekend. Jonny shared detailed info about the rental, which we really appreciated, and was fast to respond to emails. The hot tub, especially on a chilly night, is great fun. We'll be back!

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.

Wonderful Weekend Away

This is such an amazing place and the owner, Jonny, is absolutely wonderful. Well before our stay, he sent us detailed info on the cottage, along with recommended restaurants and things to do. We had one question during our stay and we received a prompt response. The cottage itself is nestled along a tree lined area that makes the whole property very private and quiet. Highly recommend and I hope we're able to visit again!
