The Heart Of The Wine Country! Sip wine, take a dip, relax and enjoy

Dalton Lakeside Cottage is the perfect place for a peaceful getaway with family, friends and good neighbors. Located on a quiet private road, you will pass through a narrow but short underpass that is not an issue for a full size pickup or SUV. The cottage features 3 bedrooms, 1 bath with a kitchen and living room. We prefer you to use the screened windows to keep cool, but there is an option for A/C if needed $8.00 day, (please leave on counter if used). We have a RokuTV that allows guests to sign into their streaming services and outside antenna that has about 23 clear channels with some HD channels. High speed internet is also available provided by Spectrum. You will be spending most of your days outside grilling on the covered Front deck while your kids playing in the secured back yard or enjoying your time relaxing on Dalton Landing watching the sunrise and sunset as you enjoy your morning coffee or your evening glass of wine, at night relax by the outdoor fire-pit. There is a charming and historic train that runs by the house. The train has no set schedule but does go slow and the conductor will even blow the whistle for you if you wave to them. There is also a long dock for your convenience, whether you choose to fish from the dock, rent a boat at Roy's Marina or bring your own boat. The cottage is a short drive from a local farmers market called "The Windmill" and about 30 min drive from the waterloo shopping outlets. This is a wonderful cottage that is perfect for that quiet weekend we all need with family and friends. If this sounds like the place for you, please submit your booking request to lock in your dates. Ask about boat docking and trailer storage. We do not supply a washer & dryer but list of laundromats will be available at the cottage. There are also 2 security camera located on each corner of the front of the house, these are used for security purposes only, there are no other cameras in any guest areas of the cottage.

An Enjoyable Week
Our multi-night stay was very enjoyable. The home was well appointed and very accommodating for us and our pups. The location is ideal for visiting the local attractions, and a short drive to hiking and outdoor areas. Gary is very responsive host and was helpful both before our trip and prior to our departure. We look forward to visiting the area again.

Great get away
What a lovely cottage and an incredible view over the water right in the heart of wine country. The house is very cleanly and spacious. The yard is fenced and our dog quickly learned how to use the doggie door to go outside and come back in when she wanted. We will definitely be requesting to stay here again!

Perfect lake cottage
5 of us comfortably stayed, we had a great time and a beautiful view of the lake. It felt very homey and relaxing. The only minor issue was that the water smelled very potent of eggs, but we powered through. We would all book again in the future and would love to check the place out in the summer time! Thanks Gary for a smooth stay.

Fall foliage
Perfect weekend getaway for fall foliage, hikes, and wineries. We picked the perfect time to admire the colors of the fall. View was great of the water from inside or outside of the home. Tucked away just like we enjoy. Very quiet spot. Thank you for allowing our pet as part of our getaway!

Lovely lakeside spot
Gary’s place was just what the doctor ordered. Cozy and clean, well-stocked, and secure. Gary’s communication was fantastic - he gave a heads-up on the sneaky railroad underpass to get to the house (which was totally fine for my sedan), and checked in at the beginning and ending of my stay. Very dog friendly! My pup absolutely loved the backyard and dock, and at 11 years old, she had her first experience with using a doggie door. Great location for quiet R&R, small town exploring (Geneva and Penn Yan are close), hiking (check the Keuka Outlet trail between Seneca and Cascade Falls), and wine tasting (Fox Run was great and very close). Thanks for a lovely stay!

Breathtaking View
The house was great and very well maintained. There were three spacious bedrooms and the home had everything you would need for your stay. The view was absolutely amazing. Sitting on the deck taking in the view was so relaxing. Mr. Reeves was an excellent host who was always available for any questions. The home was close to many wineries and places to eat. I would recommend staying here and I will definitely be back.

Great View and Location
Lovely location with a wonderful view. You have everything you need for the stay in a relaxing location. However, the AC is a small single window unit in the main area of the house, not any bedrooms. We were lucky that the wind moved across the lake and kept us cool enough at night. However if it was really hot, it would have been less comfortable.

Outstanding!
We had a fabulous stay! The lake house was clean, well maintained and had everything we needed. I loved that pets were allowed. Our dog had the best time and so did we. Top favorites were-the view, access to the lake, porch swing, landing with table and chairs, fenced in yard, fire pit and the sounds of the birds. I didn't want to leave and definitely want to go back. The communication with the owner was excellent!

4th of July 2020 on Seneca lake
What a wonderful place to unwind! Coffee each morning watching the sunrise over the lake makes for a perfect start of the day. Watching the moon reflecting on the water calmed the soul each night. The home was clean and Mr. Reeves provided everything we could think of and more. We would love to come back and will send our friends your way. Thank you Chuck & Nicolette 2-6 July 2020

The view!
My husband and I stayed for the week and enjoyed ourselves immensely! Beautiful waterfront view of Seneca Lake with a fenced in yard for our dog and a fully equipped kitchen. We spent our days hiking the Keuka Outlet Trail, Watkins Glen (gorge trail is a must see) and Taughannock Falls trail. We enjoyed numerous breweries, wineries and the Fingerlakes distillery. Two fun spots to eat were the Village Tavern in Hammondsport (great crab bisque!) and Parker’s in Penn Yan. We also obtained some firewood locally and enjoyed a nice evening at the fire pit. The hosts were very accommodating and called prior to our arrival to answer any questions.

Perfect Girls Weekend location!
This cottage was perfect for 5 friends! We loved having coffee on the lakefront covered porch and the large stair landing going down to the dock. The lake water was so clear and was perfect for swimming and floating. The kitchen was nicely equipped with all pans, utensils, plates, etc, and also had many basic staples for cooking. The beds were comfy and even though the daytime temps were in the 80s, there was almost always a breeze at night, so sleeping was very comfortable. The Wi-Fi worked well, and checkin was a breeze. The cottage is located so although there are other cottages on both sides, the lawn and dock areas provide nice privacy. So glad I found Dalton’s Lakeside, I look forward to returning!

Girls Weekend Away
Had a great time on our girls weekend away for my birthday. Don’t let the drive down the driveway to the property scare you. I drive a truck and fit without an issue. Relaxing lake views. There is many stairs to get down to the lake for anyone with disabilities. That did not stop us from walking down and enjoying a drink on the dock. There is sulfur water just an FYI for people who may just not be use to it. Otherwise all three of us had a great time. Prime location for wine tours around Seneca lake. The host was great and called a few days before to just check in before our stay. Recommend this great little getaway for anyone who is looking for a weekend away.

Won’t Return
Pros--Very dog friendly, clean, wonderful views, great location. Host flexible on early checkin. Cons - neighbor in double wide directly next door burning leaves and trash which made being outside that day unpleasant, train as advertised in listing but it came by at 7:30 in the morning and woke us up on 2 of our 3 day stay. Had an issue w hot water smelling like sulfur (rotten eggs). Host responsive in offering to get it addressed but he’s not in the area so it would have been inconvenient to our vacation plans for us to wait for repair. Strong smell made it very unpleasant to shower and wash dishes. Would not want to go down dirt road or through tunnel to trailer in bad weather.

Family Weekend
Located at the end of a dirt road along the lake, this cozy home leaves little to be desired. It’s off the beaten path and provides seclusion as well close proximity to the wide variety of wineries and towns in the area. The host was wonderful; calling before our arrival to ensure there were no questions, and informing us of a temporary power outage the day we were to arrive. The home was well kept, fully stocked, and clean upon our arrival. The Finger Lakes is one of my favorite vacation destinations and I would happily stay at this location again.
