Welcome to Knotty and Nice, a cozy and classic Finger Lakes cottage on the east side of Seneca Lake. North of Watkins Glen and surrounded by wineries and scenic beauty, this four-bedroom, two-bath retreat is perfect for families, couples, and small groups looking to relax and reconnect by the lake.
Step inside and you'll find a warm, open living space that feels instantly inviting. A decorative fireplace adds a touch of charm, while the comfortable seating and dining area provide plenty of room to unwind. The fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare meals, and with lake views in the distance, every gathering feels a little extra special.
With four bedrooms—two on the main floor and two upstairs—there's room for everyone to spread out. Each features a queen bed, and one also includes a twin, ideal for a child or extra guest.
Outside, you'll love spending time on the lakeside deck, enjoying your morning coffee or a glass of wine at sunset. The grassy lawn leads to the water's edge, where you can dip your toes in Seneca Lake or fish from the private dock. A boat lift is available for guests bringing their own boat, making it easy to explore the lake from your doorstep.
Knotty and Nice is located on a quiet dead-end road, offering a peaceful retreat with easy access to the area's best attractions. Spend the day touring local wineries like Wagner, Boundary Breaks, and Bagley's Poplar Ridge Vineyards, or head to Watkins Glen State Park to hike the famous gorge trail. Afterward, unwind with dinner on the deck or a lakeside sunset stroll.
Pet-friendly and full of Finger Lakes charm, Knotty and Nice offers the perfect blend of comfort, character, and convenience. Whether you're here for a wine weekend, a race at the track, or simply a few days of lakeside living, this classic Seneca Lake cottage has everything you need for a memorable stay.
