Burdett Cottage | Charming lakefront cottage with private beach and boat dock.

2 Bedroom Cottage in Burdett

Nestled in the trees overlooking Seneca Lake and next to a glen, you will love our beautiful lake and sunset views and falling asleep to the sound of trickling water. The large private beach and boat dock are a rarity in the area. There is lots of room to wade from the shore into the refreshing cool water – or jump from the dock, in unison, on the count of 3, like we do! Bring your boat or rent one from one of the several nearby marinas. There is also a company that will bring kayaks, canoes or paddleboards right to the cottage with all the necessary gear. Enjoy a BBQ on the beach at the picnic table or sitting around the fire bowl, late into the evening. It’s easy to stay in, making meals in the well-stocked kitchen but also fun to explore the many restaurants, breweries and wineries nearby. The Seneca Lake wine trail starts just up the road and Watkins Glen is less than 10 minutes away. Ithaca or Corning are both around 30 minutes and offer a wide variety of additional things to do; hiking trails, waterfalls, Corning glass museum, and of course, more wineries! Peak season occupancy is set for 7 nights minimum but ask about shorter trips. Especially Sun - Wed. I will try to accommodate you.
High speed wireless internet works well. Smart television and expanded cable provided. All Major cell phones carriers seem to work fine. No local land phone line.
MAX OCCUPANCY IS 4.
Spacious primary bedroom with a king-size bed, full bathroom & second bedroom upstairs (double bed). Queen size bed and additional full bath on first floor. We find the Upstairs/downstairs a nice split for couples.
I provide high quality sheets, plenty of pillows all encased in breathable allergen covers, blankets and decorative quilts & shams for all beds. 2 bath towels, 2 hand towels and 2 washcloths left for each guest. Please bring your own beach towels.
Shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, dish soap, paper towels, cleaning supplies, trash bags and toilet paper provided. Various spices, oil, vinegar, condiments left but not guaranteed.
History:
The cottage was originally built in 1910 as a bunk room for a larger family cottage next door and over the years several additions /improvements have been added, though the vintage charm remains. The oldest part, we now call the front living room, opens onto a covered porch overlooking the lake. The original bunks were made of logs like the porch railings and were replaced years ago. We just can’t bring ourselves to eliminate the bunk altogether. The kitchen with its wrap around windows, and small upstairs bedroom were added in the 30’s. The larger living/dining room in the back, added in the 70’s, has a fireplace & baseboard heating. The primary bedroom & kitchen have baseboard heat, too.

Summary: Situated on the steep banks of Seneca Lake and right next to small cascade of water, the cottage provides a very peaceful place to spend some time. The sound of running water was zen-like and made for great sleep! Because of the slope, the views from the front porch and lake-facing windows makes you feel as if you are in a tree house. Great sunsets and a nice beach area and dock on the water - we only wish it was a bit warmer to want to take advantage of it more. The space was fine for our family of four adults, but larger groups might feel a little tight. The place had everything we needed and enjoyed cooking some meals at the cottage.Adrian was an amazing owner! Clear, responsive communications and went above and beyond when we forgot something at the house.

Summary: We spent the Memorial Day long weekend at this property and were beyond thrilled with the stay. We cannot wait to return with better weather to enjoy the outdoors and dock!The home had a perfect cabin-feel, the sound of the waterfall flowing outside the windows and views were just exquisite. While this is far from modern construction, the house provided all of the amenities we needed for our lake-front stay with endless charm.The proximity to the lake and on-site waterfall were the highlights, and what will keep us coming back. The location relative to local landmarks was perfect, we were able to get to Watkins Glen quickly for shopping and hiking the State Park, and we were also near wineries and breweries for a quick stop in or bite to eat.

Summary: My Family and I loved our stay at this property! Great location only a few miles outside Watkins glen! My boys loved the dock and camp fires on the beach at night.

Summary: We had a lovely stay at Adrian’s cottage. As the description says, it’s an old fashioned lake cottage full of rustic charm- perfectly quaint and quirky-yet tastefully updated for everything you need to relax. Adrian was extremely attentive and checked in on us when we lost power due to some huge thunderstorms that went through the area. We had intentions of doing some excursions to nearby wineries or Ithaca but the call of the lakeside dock and shale beach were too enticing. We read in the Adirondack chairs and played games at the picnic table. At night, the area is softly lit with solar lights. Lots of windows open that allow lake cross breezes that keep the cottage comfortable even on warm days. We certainly felt recharged after our week.

Summary: We really enjoyed staying in this cottage. The property is gorgeous and the cottage has wonderful nooks for relaxing and enjoying the weather. Our first night was chilly and listening to the creek outside with the windows open was magical. Adrian was a wonderful host and the neighbors were very welcoming and kind.

Summary: What a wonderful place for a relaxing vacation. The house is quaint and very comfortable. It is very much like visiting your favorite grandmother’s house. The house has a grand view of the lake with a wonderful porch to relax on. While we were there, we had a nice rain shower that filled the creek that runs along the house and we were able to sleep to the sound of a babbling brook. The home is well-appointed, and everything you need is easy to find. Adrian is a wonderful host and is very fast to answer any questions. I will definitely stay here again as well as recommend this to any friend planning to stay in the area.

Summary: Perfect location for exploring the Finger Lakes! We had a wonderful stay at this quaint cottage right on the shore of beautiful Seneca Lake. Very secluded and peaceful but easy access to all that the Finger Lakes region has to offer. Just a few minutes drive from Watkins Glen State Park where we enjoyed a beautiful hike and the town of Watkins Glen where you can grab some groceries or enjoy one of the restaurants. The house is very comfortable and stocked with everything you’ll need for a relaxing getaway. Sipping coffee on the porch overlooking the lake and beautiful fall foliage was magical. The host was fantastic. They responded very quickly to any questions and all of the directions/instructions were accurate and helpful. The house was VERY clean when we arrived, which is important to us. We definitely hope to return!

Summary: Charming place for the four of us. Excellent nights spent on the beach with a fire and glass in hand.
Richard C. Jul 20, 2023 09:24:20 PM
Summary: We had a great stay at this cute cottage, ideally located ten minutes from Watkins Glen and within easy reach of dozens of wineries and breweries. The ktchen was well-stocked, the bed was very comfortable and the porch overlooking the lake delightful.

Summary: Great view, 24 steps to the lake, and nice dock. We enjoyed the quiet and private location with our dog
