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.

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!

Perfect get away

The cottage exceeded my expectations in every way. The pictures do not do it justice. Everything was immaculate, the amenities were top notch, and the setting was sublime. A pair of bald eagles flew past several times each day and sometimes caught fish as we watched. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this delightful lakeside cottage. Very clean, very comfortable. The location is perfect - right on the lake, close to several wineries and not far from the city of Geneva. No problems with check-in and quick responses from property manager. Would definitely visit again. Thank you, Jonathan!

A beautiful get away

Place looks exactly as advertised. Although the property owner came by EVERY day to cut grass and the train came by 3 times EVERY day, the interaction with the owner was pleasant and not really intrusive and the trains didn't detract from our enjoyment of the space. The grill was great,the water was cool and refreshing and the place was very enjoyable. It wasn't quite the get away "from it all" that I thought it would be, but my brother and I enjoyed our brief stay thoroughly.

Delightful Cabin...Excellent Setting

We are repeat visitors to his cute and cozy cabin right on Seneca Lake. We so enjoy sitting out on the deck watching the sun rise in the morning and ending the day around the fire pit. In between we visit some of the numerous wineries and hike at Watkins Glen State Park. The once or twice a day trains that roll right by the cabin are fun to watch and add a special uniqueness to this property. Property is super clean and communication with owner is excellent.

A delightful fall getaway!!

Our stay at the Green Duck was amazing. The sunrises are breathtaking, and the fire pit was perfect for admiring the evening stars! The sound of the water with the windows open was so relaxing and the weather was dreamy! The bed was super comfortable and the other amenities were all first class. We had everything we could’ve possibly needed and more. We felt like we were guests in a friend’s home, and Jonathan was wonderful to communicate with and answered any questions immediately. Thank you for sharing such a special place with us!!

Relaxing Getaway in the Heart of Everything

The Green Duck is conveniently located near many wineries (close enough to walk or bicycle to) as well as bustling Watkins Glen, Geneva, and Seneca Falls, but it is secluded and relaxing, set away from any other houses. Amenities include everything you would need to enjoy your stay, including bikes and kayaks! Plenty to do in the area or just stay home and enjoy the beautiful water and spectacular view! Very clean and comfortable cottage, we felt right at home. We hope to return again in the future! Thank you, Jonathan!

Cozy and absolutely delightful

The property was absolutely delightful, from sipping coffee on the pier in the mornings to relaxing around the fire pit at night. There were plenty of windows, where you can appreciate the natural beauty of the lake from every room in the house. The house was equipped with all necessary appliances and very cozy. The rental owner was extremely friendly and accommodating to our needs. I am looking forward to returning to this rental once the weather gets warmer so I can fully enjoy the full potential of this lake house.

The view is truly remarkable. Cute, cozy house with all you need. Loved the lake breeze and sounds of the shore. The water was great and my girlfriend and I used the kayaks often. Fires were perfect after a long day out on the water or exploring wineries and breweries. Everything surrounding you is just as wonderful as you'd imagine.

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!
