Blackbird Cottage | 2 Bed, 1 Bath

Welcome to Blackbird Cottage! On a quiet dead-end street, Blackbird Cottage is a perfect cottage for a couple or a group of up to four looking to relax on Seneca Lake.

The main cottage offers 2 bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the second bedroom with a Double bed.  The bathroom has heated floors and a walk in shower.  You can cook in the fully outfitted kitchen, enjoy a meal at the dining table or sit in the living room and take in the lake view through the large window overlooking the patio and the lake.

At beach level, our lakeside cabana, for relaxing or "working from home" by the lake,  is surrounded by a deck and outdoor chairs, just a few steps from your own lakefront, and is outfitted with mini-fridge and comfy furniture giving you a wonderful place to relax at the end of a day on the lake.  The cabana can be heated in the winter months and has a wall unit AC for the hotter months.  There is a small fire pit on the lake front as well for evening fires. Between the two buildings is a patio with an outdoor dining set, grill and of course, the beautiful lake view. It doesn't get better than than this!

The cottage ceilings are fairly low due to the fact it was originally built in the 1950's. We are also on a quiet dead-end street with close neighbors along the lake who also enjoy the relaxing nature of the area.

Whether visiting the area for our wonderful wineries, getaway, romantic weekend, or fishing our world-famous lake trout, you will love Blackbird Cottage on Seneca Lake!

There is a canoe for getting out onto the lake, which is located under the lower deck. Please use at your own risk and use responsibly. Great for fishing and sunsets!

Long weekend getaway
We stayed Thursday thru Monday. We did some hiking to see some local waterfalls along the Keuka Outlet trail. As non wine drinkers we visited some cool breweries around Seneca and Penn Yan. We had dinner at Beef and Brew and Parker’s Grille which were both great. We spent Saturday at The Windmill Farm and Craft market. It was great watching the sunrise over Seneca Lake sitting in the dock

Girls trip, peaceful, had everything we needed.
We had a great time. The house is great for a small getaway and has everything you need. This was my second stay on the property. The lake itself was pretty disappointing this time as it was filled with grass and there were a TON (at least five, two of which were massive) water snakes living near the dock/shore line that made themselves known. Otherwise the property is clean, well maintained, and charming.

Great Getaway
This house was clean, cute, comfortable, and a great location. We spent our time there during the week. The lake was very quiet and peaceful. One recommendation would be to add two more chairs down by the dock, near the fire pit.
