Holiday rentals with a kayak in Schuyler County

Beautiful home and fantastic views!! Perfect for a few couples to get away and explore this wine region. The boathouse is a great addition if the weather holds (I plugged in a small heater and it was perfect). Great amenities, kayaks, fire pit, etc. We stay at the finger lakes twice a year at different homes and this was by far the best location, easy to access both sides of the lake, Watkins Glen, and all of the our favorite wineries and breweries within a few miles. Highly recommended!

Great house with amazing view to the lake and the mountain. Highly recommended.

Loved the place! The sunset view by the lake with a fire will remain in my heart. Russell was very kind with several sweet gifts. He is a great host!

Sofia’s place exceeded our expectations. Spotless, well equipped, and a stunning view of Lake Seneca. My family and I particularly enjoyed relaxing by the outdoor propane fire pit after an afternoon of visiting the nearby wineries and breweries. Would absolutely stay again.

Our initial place had a problem and we needed a new place fast. Dave had his place ready in 2 hours from time we contacted him, offered a place to hang out till it was ready. It was spotless when we got there. Bed and pillows were so comfortable. Beautiful view of the lake. We loved it so much we already book 4 days in the spring at Dave’s place to do some more things we didn’t have time to do. We look forward to returning! Dave - can’t thank you enough!

Loved our stag here. Guys racing weekend, close to the track. Nice grill, great dock and chairs. Wonderful views. Overall a great location, comfy beds, and a great place to unwind after the track. Will come back.

We enjoyed our stay, the house is right in front of the lake giving incredible views. Would stay here again!

Such a beautiful stay at Karen’s house! It’s clean and cozy, welcoming and spacious lt Haseverything you could possibly need. The hosts are friendly and responsive with plenty of recommendations for local activities. The fire pit and all stuff to make s’mores was an extra nice touch. Loved kayaking on the lake right in front of the house. The views are phenomenal. Watkins Glen with all the restaurants and wineries and breweries is 10 minutes away. Great location!

i booked this place very last minute and everything was perfect. the host was very friendly and responsive. the house had literally everything my boyfriend, dog and I could’ve needed from dog treats & toys to a bottle of wine for us! lots of towels, blankets and kitchen ware. the place was spotlessly clean and very roomy! the view was absolutely beautiful, my favorite part was sitting in the hot tub looking at the lake everyday!! 10/10 would definitely book again! highly recommend if you’re looking for a place to rewind and relax !!

We had a great time at this beautiful lake house. While there are close neighbors, they are quiet and the lakefront area feels very private thanks to the trees. The kayaking and rowboat were a lot of fun. The house has quality furnishings and newer appliances. When we had a concern arise (through no fault of the owners), Mary responded immediately even though it was nearly 10 pm. She made the situation right as soon as humanly possible (first thing in the morning) and her husband actually drove all the way from Pennsylvania to check in with us, though we didn't ask or expect this. While he was there he also installed a new lakefront ladder and chatted with us about area attractions. I highly recommend this home and especially these hosts, who truly care about their guests' experience.

Such a great cabin! Plenty of room for 2 people and 2 80lb dogs. The views are amazing-you couldn’t be any closer to the water. There are docks and cabins close by, but it does feel private. Being October, there wasn’t too much activity on the lake..even with temps in the 80s! It made for a really relaxing trip. We were lucky enough to see a loon and had eagles fly overhead daily..we even had a beaver swim right next to us on the dock!! The cabin has a cozy fireplace (heater) and was well equipped with everything you need. The linens were soft, the towels were thick and the bed was very comfortable! Kayaking was wonderful when the wind allowed. Fishing from the dock wasn’t great, but then again, I am more versed in creek/pond fishing rather than giant lake fishing. I did have a great day fishing at a nearby pond in Hector on the interlocken trail..called teeter pond. Our host (Gillian) was wonderful. It was evident that her guests experience was really important to her.

I didn’t want to leave!! 😂 This was an amazing stay! The cabin was cute and had everything you’d need for a retreat to the lake, and the surroundings were beautiful and peaceful. Kevin was friendly, and met us at the cabin to give us a tour. He was also very responsive. 10/10! I’d definitely stay here again.

Our stay was spectacular. You can't beat the view, the kitchen had everything you would need and more and the beds were SO comfortable! We had to draw straws to see who was staying in the boathouse room! Coffee on the dock in the morning and wine on the dock in the evening, how could anyone complain about that! We loved our stay and hope to come back again. Thanks Karen!

This was the 3rd year that Dina and her family graciously shared their property with us. My friends and I enjoy the coziness and family friendly atmosphere that is depicted in the photos. This is definitely a place where you can loose yourself in the vastness of the trees, the lake, and lastly the quiet. Makes for true retreat for the soul.

Great property on Lamoka Lake. Good information was provided before the visit. On arrival, the code for the front door did not work. I had to call Evolve's customer service desk. It was a little slower to get the door code fixed from them than it would have been communicating directly with a private owner as they had to contact the local people. In about 15 minutes they had been able to reach the local property manager who remotely reprogrammed the code and we were good for the rest of the stay. The second time I contacted them was when I found a small thing broken. Something that didn't matter to our stay but I just wanted to give them a heads up about and they replied to text messaging within 2 minutes. My only recommendation would be to provide the local contact's text number before we got there, rather than just in the welcome book, so I could have reached out to Paul directly when we were initially locked out. Overall it was a great stay.

We had a wonderful vacation at the cottage. It had everything we needed and being right on the lake was so peaceful. Great proximity to a lot of beautiful waterfalls, hiking, and restaurants. Will absolutely book again!

This place was perfect for what we were looking for. Very peaceful, clean home, pond was great. The communication was great and there were plenty of instructions throughout the home to make our stay very easy and comfortable.

The cottage is small but has everything needed for a great getaway. It was close to wineries and breweries. We had an awesome stay during an off season time and I'm sure it's even more enjoyable during warmer months to take advantage of the outdoor space. It really feels like the hosts are sharing a well loved home!

This modernized cabin was wonderful for our wedding weekend with family. The interior design is rustic yet modern, the location right on the lake was spectacular. We grilled and ate on the huge deck, enjoyed sitting on the dock and using the paddle boat. The hosts had a firepit all ready to go and we took advantage one evening, making smores with the thoughtful fixins in their welcome basket. We walked into Branchport to buy souvenirs and Penn Yann is a short drive away for essentials or dinner out. Warning: your GPS may take you to a nearby marina instead of the property, which is nearby. I was also surprised to get a separate contract from the host the night before, which I was expected to sign. I also didn't get the host's "Welcome Packet" until the night before with the checkin details. These things should have been sent weeks in advance. Other than that, highly recommend!

An absolutely incredible stay! I will say, the pictures were gorgeous but boy was it even better when we got there. It exceeded expectations. Sarah was so responsive and helpful. It was a dream to wake up and look out the window to see the lake. Would definitely come back here again. If I could give 6 stars, I would

Cleo’s Cabin exceeded all expectations. Five stars is not enough to describe this place. Cozy, quaint, and private, we cannot wait to come back again!

Beautiful property in a stunning location! Cabins are small but very efficient. Beautiful sunsets at the dock. A great landing pad to explore the area.

Little Cabin in the Big Woods was a dream! Very quiet, peaceful, and private. We loved taking the canoe on the pond when the sun peeked out. It rained and was quite chilly most of the time, but the large wood fire stove inside and the covered porch made it fun and very cozy. The cabin is spacious, and the natural light made it easy to see during the day, including a bathroom skylight which was a nice touch. The bed was very comfortable and we used the kitchenette as well. We enjoyed the simplicity of the off-grid cabin, and the hosts were always responsive to our questions. We found the guide book as we were checking out, so grab that when you arrive and you'll be good to go. The walk from the car was less intimidating than we imagined, just a quick path that we could see from the clearing. This spot was exactly what we needed to get away for the weekend, and enjoy Watkins Glen and the Finger Lakes' scenery and wine nearby. We wish we could have stayed longer, it's absolutely beautiful

Our stay at this cabin was the perfect getaway! From the moment we arrived, Ken, the host, made us feel at home by giving us a tour of the stunning property and showing us all the wonderful amenities. The cabin itself was incredibly cozy, spotlessly clean, and had such a warm, inviting atmosphere. We loved that there was both a cabin and a bungalow on the property—it gave us so much space to enjoy. One of the highlights was the firepit that Ken had already set up for us, along with a delightful s'more bar. It was such a thoughtful touch that made our nights by the fire extra special. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and can’t wait to return!"
