Anniversary weekend

The blackbird cottage was the perfect place to stay to celebrate our 11th anniversary. The cottage is located right on the water for beautiful views of seneca lake. I recommend this house for any couple or small group of friends that want to get away for a few days.

Great Getaway

This house was clean, cute, comfortable, and a great location. We spent our time there during the week. The lake was very quiet and peaceful. One recommendation would be to add two more chairs down by the dock, near the fire pit.

Relaxing, quaint, quiet!

We celebrated a kids-free weekend away, and it was everything I’d hoped for: peace and quiet, calming lake views, and a serene setting for reading. We took the canoe out for a bit but mostly enjoyed sitting on the dock! Wonderful!

Long weekend getaway

We stayed Thursday thru Monday. We did some hiking to see some local waterfalls along the Keuka Outlet trail. As non wine drinkers we visited some cool breweries around Seneca and Penn Yan. We had dinner at Beef and Brew and Parker’s Grille which were both great. We spent Saturday at The Windmill Farm and Craft market. It was great watching the sunrise over Seneca Lake sitting in the dock

Girls trip, peaceful, had everything we needed.

We had a great time. The house is great for a small getaway and has everything you need. This was my second stay on the property. The lake itself was pretty disappointing this time as it was filled with grass and there were a TON (at least five, two of which were massive) water snakes living near the dock/shore line that made themselves known. Otherwise the property is clean, well maintained, and charming.

The Good the Bad and the Ugly

The Good: The inside of the cottage was clean. The bathroom was roomy. The beds and furniture were comfortable. We loved the Adirondack rocking bench at the end of the dock. We had coffee there every morning. Very peaceful. The canoe was also nice to have. There was very little boat traffic in the area, so it was very quiet. Some suggestions: Towel racks in the bathroom, a salad bowl, beach towels, Plastic cups (The rules stated that no glass containers are allowed near the water, but there are no plastic cups.) Clean flotation tube and mattress. (The flotation tube and mattress were stored with the canoe and were covered in dirt and mold.) A cork screw that works. The Bad: We tried to go for a swim, however the grass was so thick in the 3 feet of water that one could not swim. My arms would literally become entangled in the weeds, whick extended from the bottom of the lake to the water's surface. The water is so shallow that I had to wade out to about 100 feet from shore before I was able to swim freely. The canoe allowed us to paddle out to the local public beach. During our paddle we noted that no other cottage had a significant weed problem. The manager said there was nothing that one could do about it and that it was a microclimate issue. However, a neighbor said that the grass simply needs to be physically romoved. The tables and chairs by the bungalo need cleaning, and the picnic table needs leveling. Bees are entering a hive via a hole on the side of house.

Underwhelming...

I stayed at the cottage over Labor Day weekend for four nights with my sister to do some wine tasting in the Finger Lakes. I have done this a number of times and stayed at a lot of properties. Originally, another person was supposed to join us - the cottage boasts sleeping up to 4 people. Unless they are in sleeping bags on the floor, I'm not quite sure where they would go! I wanted to love this place from the photos, but it fell short and I wouldn't stay again. Pros: The cottage is in a great location with wonderful views. It is nicely decorated and some areas have been updated. The patio and lower level fire pit directly on the lake were very enjoyable. Cons: The cottage is not really functional if you're staying for more than a night or two. The kitchen has no dishwasher (even though the welcome book from management mentions one) and very few dishes are provided so you'll do dishes after every single meal. If you plan to cook several meals there, you may want to bring your own dishes. The dishes, utensils, pots, and pans are very old and need to be replaced - and there just needs to be more of them! The bathroom was pretty disgusting. It was not even close to being cleaned and when we called the management company they asked us to take photos to prove that the shower curtain was covered in mold and someone had left hair in the drain and all over the floor; they made excuses instead of apologizing. We ended up going to pick up cleaning supplies and take care of it ourselves, which was not exactly fun following our 6 hour drive to the cottage. They eventually dropped off a cheap shower curtain late at night. There is no medicine cabinet or counter space in the bathroom, so you'll have to put all your stuff in the small drawers under the sink. The bedrooms do NOT have closets, FYI. Also the chest of drawers provided are either blocked by other furniture or don't open and close except by force. It's not a good used of space. Do away with extra furniture and put a wardrobe in each room; something functional for folded and hanging clothes. The mattresses are in desperate need of being replaced. The springs are poking through the sides and top and my sister and I did not get a full night of rest for the duration of the stay. I actually could not wait to sleep in ANY other bed by the time the trip was over. I'm in my 30s and went home with back pain. All in all, save some money and stay in a hotel with a comfortable bed!

Would have liked a place to hang clothes in the rooms and a night stand.
