OUTA Lakehouse Cottage

The FLX Lakehouse Cottage sits in a quiet hamlet near the lake, offering guests a peaceful Finger Lakes experience without being directly on the shoreline. It’s a comfortable, thoughtfully kept cottage designed for travelers who appreciate calm surroundings, easy access to nature, and a space that feels genuinely lived‑in rather than overly polished.

Inside, the cottage is bright, clean, and intentionally simple — a functional kitchen, cozy living areas, comfortable bedrooms, and a bathroom stocked with essentials. It’s the kind of place where you can slow down, settle in, and enjoy a relaxed stay.

The location is one of its best features. Guests are close to the lake and just a short drive from a state park that offers a public boat launch, hiking trails, mini golf, and family‑friendly activities. It’s easy to spend the day outdoors and return to a quiet, restful home base in the hamlet.

This cottage is ideal for guests who value authenticity, comfort, and a peaceful setting with convenient access to the best parts of the region. If you’re looking for a Finger Lakes stay that’s close to the water, close to adventure, and grounded in a small community atmosphere, this is your spot

Guests can use entire house. Secondary refrigerator in the office area is off limits.
