Stowaway - A Private Lakefront Experience With Over 100ft Of Shoreline!

What's better than planning a wine tour along the Seneca Lake Wine Trail? Driving through a vineyard to get to your lakefront home, of course! That's exactly what you'll get when you choose Stowaway as your Finger Lakes vacation home.

Drive through Caywood Vineyards on Seneca Lake to reach Stowe Road and you'll find Stowaway tucked away in the woods. With 300 foot of natural lake front and a brand new permanent dock, this two bedroom (plus a loft) home will be the perfect retreat away from your everyday life.

Walk in through the side door and find an open floor plan. A beautiful stone fireplace greets you to your right and before you, you'll find the quaint kitchen and cozy living area.

A full bathroom with shower/tub combo can be found off the kitchen. Completing the lower level you'll find both bedrooms, each equipped with new flooring.

Upstairs, a loft overlooking the living area holds the third sleeping area with king size bed. Consider yourself lucky if you're able to have this area to rest your head at night!

Outside - enjoy your morning coffee from the balcony and watch for the eagles and variety of birds that frequent this area, or sit each night with your favorite Finger Lakes wine and watch the stars come out.

The large yard is perfect for games and outside activities. Walk the stairs to the lakefront and spend the day sunbathing on the dock, or jumping into the cool waters of Seneca Lake.

Popular wineries are abundant within a short drive, including Wagner Vineyards, Boundary Breaks Vineyards, and Bagley's Poplar Ridge Vineyards. Downtown Watkins Glen is within a 20 minute drive where you'll have a variety of area restaurants, local shops and the Watkins Glen State Park. Or, break up your day and take a cruise on Seneca Lake with Captain Bill! Your next trip to Seneca Lake will be unforgettable when you stay at Stowaway.

**4 WD or All Wheel Drive is recommended for the drive through the vineyard and to the property.

Great hidden spot
This was a great tucked away spot behind a vineyard. It was cozy and great access to the lake. It was smack in the middle of many wineries and 15 minutes to watkins glen. There is no air conditioning but fans were supplied. It is supplied with well water. Bring your basic cooking supplies oil, butter and seasonings.

Birthday Getaway
I booked this as a surprise for my mom’s 60th Birthday. We had so much fun swimming, hanging out by the fire and wine tasting. The property was secluded and quiet. Just what we wanted. We had a very enjoyable stay and wished we were there longer. I would rebook here again.

Great stay
Amazing house which is well kept and clean. The steps to the beach and the house are steep but it’s worth it to have the views and be lakeside.

Peaceful, away from all noise
Beautiful property with Seneca Lake as your back door view to watch the sunrise and sunset. I don't believe the ad was clear on the fact that there is no working washer and dryer, tho there was a dryer but not in good condition at all. However, that didn't stop us from enjoying the home and property, but it would have been a really nice convenience. Overall, it's a cute rustic home great for a family getaway away from all noise and bustle of the usual close to town getaways we've done in the past. We had a wonderful time!

Wonderful getaway for a long weekend.
We had a fantastic time here. Perfect location to everything. Hiking, kayaking, wineries, restaurants. The only negative is the steep steps to the dock. Perfect for our family and adult children. Probably not suitable for young children. So much privacy and beautiful yard for fires and games. Thank you so much for your beautiful home. We loved it!

Beautiful location
Beautiful location Great dock ( but there are lots of steep stairs to climb) Very clean New appliances with great selection of cooking utensils/ pots and pans Two kayaks and a paddle bird included. Tons of fire wood We spent four days here and it would have been perfect except that the WiFi is useless other then downloading a simple email. It was to slow to watch movies or stream music. Not the end of the world but if you don’t get cell reception and you are planning on doing any work from this location forget it. If you want to watch movies bring a DVD player. Other then that we had a fantastic time and would return in a heart beat.

Perfect getaway
My husband and I took a another couple with us for a long weekend here. We are in our 50's, they are in their 60's. The house was everything we had hoped it would be. Clean and bright and comfortable. It was easy to find with directions from the property manager, but like it recommends, you should have a 4 wheel drive vehicle. The steps down to the lake are sturdy, but people with mobility issues would definitely have a problem getting down to the lake. We fished off of the dock, made a fire in the fire pit, and sat of the deck and enjoyed the stars. I brought extra towels but they ended up having plenty there for the 4 of us. They even had a small stockpile of necessities in case you forget something. We would come back here again. We recommend!
