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. We have a RokuTV that allows guests to sign into their streaming services. 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. Relax by the outdoor fire-pit at night. 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 cameras 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.

The owner is amazing with great communication. The place has an inviting cottage feel with a beautiful view of the lake. It is not difficult to walk down to the dock where we saw carp.. It had everything we needed. I loved that our dog was welcome to join us.

Very clean with everything you'd need at home away from home. Host is very attentive! Wasn't the best location for us, however this was my first trip to the area. I would have chosen a place closer to one of the cities. The bedrooms and bathroom are quite small. Front porch is nice and large.

Trout Derby weekend
Enjoyed the cottage and time with the family. Grilled steaks, hotdogs and hamburgs on the gas grill provided on the back deck. Fenced in back yard worked out well with the dogs. Fishing started out slow with high winds and rain but the last day was gorgeous and we ended up catching 4 lakers.

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.

This property was a perfect get away for me, my mom, and my dog! Beds were very comfortable and the fenced in yard was great to take my dog outside. Great view of the lake from inside and outside. Deck was nice and big. Wineries close by to do tastings. Geneva and Watkins Glen also close. Highly recommend Spotted Duck for ice cream.

Sooooo much relaxation!
We love our vacations at this house on the lake, with our dog (who also loves it!!). The sunrises are incredible. With the porch swing, the covered and open decks, there is always a spot to sit and enjoy. The layout of the house is ideal, simple and easy to move around in.
I highly recommend a stay here if you would love a truly relaxing, enjoyable vacation, local to many wineries, breweries and shops. I can't wait to return next year!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
