Exactly as outlined.
Rosemary and Jim have lovingly cared for this family cottage and demonstrate great pride of ownership. The cottage is clean, very well provisioned and in a great location. Everything about it is comfortable and cozy. Our hosts were friendly and available when we needed them and provided privacy when we wanted that. Wonderful spot.

Retirement get away
My husband just retired so we chose our favorite vacation spot to celebrate the next chapter in his life. We had a wonderful time. We were so glad to see Rosemary and Jim and have the opportunity to spend time with them. The cottage is so quiet and peaceful. The book selection is so good that every trip here my husband explores a new book. We love all the Amish and Mennonite markets. We visited some wineries new to us. It was a wonderful time!

Seneca Trip
The cottage was very quant. It very quiet which was wonderful. It was stocked with necessities with the exception of towels and sheets. This was an inconvenience. The beds were uncomfortable and hard. Just a side note the book selections were quite strange and creepy. Certainly glad I didn’t bring my sports car it would have never made the driveway.

About the host

Hosted by Rosemary Covert

Host profile image
Jim and I spend our summers here at our cottage on Seneca Lake, and we rent the out the family cottage next door until the kids are ready to take it over. Jim grew up here in Lodi, and we've lived in various places in the US and Canada, including 20 years spent in St. John's, Newfoundland, before ending up in Lodi for the summers and in Ottawa in the winter. Best of both worlds!

Why they chose this property

Jim's parents built this place after WWII, and it's been in the family ever since. It's a beautiful spot overlooking the lake. We were lucky enough to buy the cottage next door 30 years ago, ensuring that everything up here on the bank from one gully to the next belongs to us.

What makes this property unique

We've tried to maintain the cottage's 50s character while bringing the amenities up to date. It’s full of books, artwork and amusing tchotkes. It’s also very well furnished. The large living room looks out through the trees over the lake, and windows on both sides allow in the lake breezes during the day and the cool air coming down from the woods during the night. There is a big screened-in porch that lets you feel like you're still outside even when it's raining.
