Property's Favorite Review
First time staying at Single Island Shores and we will certainly return! Stayed in a one bedroom Lakeview Cottage which was everything we hoped for and more. The covered front porch was comfortable with a small table and two chairs. Inside it was one of the cleanest places we have ever stayed. Both the lving area and bedroom were relaxing with everything we needed, Many windows adding light and fresh air, really enjoyed it. Ashley was super polite and accommodating letting us check in early. She was full of suggestions for area businesses that were spot on - thank you. The location is excellent with some of the nicest Seneca Lake wineries and breweries in close proximity. We have tried many places on Seneca Lake but think a favorite has been decided and we can't wait to return!…

Sayed with my wife for a weekend in October and loved it. Cottages were clean and cozy. Near a lot of stores, restaurants and some good wineries. awesome view of the lake and the fire pit outside the cottage was the best thing for the season, where after a long day of drinking wine I could smoke my cigar in peace and quiet. Definitely recommend and will re visit. Ashley the manager was awesome

We stayed here the 2nd week of September - not quite time for Fall leaves, but a beautiful time to be at the lake. The location is wonderful for day trips to wineries / distilleries. Restaurants are nearby. Watkins Glen and Corning Glass were part of our itinerary. If you plan to prepare any meals in your place, check the kitchen facilities – there are some differences. Just like the pictures show, front porches face the water and the western afternoon sky! My reason for a 4-star review is to bring awareness to the fact that the property has a steep slope. Even the 1st “tier” is a bit of a hike back up from the water’s edge. The distance between the first few tiers and the upper ones is more than it looks on the map, and the road is steep. We would return if and when a drive from Georgia is on the agenda again!!…

My husband and I stayed here two nights and had a fantastic experience. The cabin was spotless, comfortable and well/located. We enjoyed a private fire with views of the lake our first night. (The management delivered the firewood and supplies to our cabin for a small charge). We would definitely stay here again!

We stayed in a single bedroom lakeside cottage for a week checking in September 18. The cottage was clean, comfy and so tastefully furnished and decorated. We loved all the windows. The bed was comfortable and we found it so easy to kick back and relax with all that was available to us. We really enjoyed the front porch for our morning coffee and our late afternoon happy hour. We walked down and enjoyed the lake several times. We could watch the sunset from our porch. We had a great fire one cold evening. We spend a lot of time researching outdoor space when booking a vacation and this was exceptional both inside and out. The location was great for visiting the wineries and for some great hikes.

Stayed as a group of 4 families in 4 different cabins. Wonderful place. Communication with manager was easy and quick. Wonderful location, so close to so many wineries and to Watkins Glen. Loved hanging by the firepit at night. Do wish there were some outdoor picnic tables but that being said, we didn't have great weather so would not have used them much anyway

We visited this property for a wedding and I can't say enough good things about it. Our cabin was newly renovated, well appointed, spotless and so comfy! The property manager, Ashley was always quick to reply with local restaurant suggestions or more coffee pods. And the view of the lake is spectacular. I sat on the dock with my coffee- pure bliss. This is a gem of a spot!!
