Photos and Description of the Dresden vacation cottage rental
Lovely 3BR/2BA Traditional

'Journey's End' is truly a one of kind cottage/bungalow that offers a traditional/quaint vacation experience while providing 'state of the art' conveniences to the guests.

It is located at the very end of a well maintained access road in a very secluded and private section of Hansen Harbor. 'Journey's End' is also conveniently situated smack in the heart of the NYS Wine Belt. Upon your arrival, you will immediately be struck by the the magnificent panoramic view of Seneca Lake at it's widest point.

The cottage has three bedrooms and two full baths, a full kitchen with breakfast bar and a combined living and dining area all of which were constructed to take full advantage of the spectacular lake view. Each of the front bedrooms provide spectacular views of the lake while the rear bedroom looks out into a raised flower garden and wooded ravine.

Just a mere four steps down to the beach and your ready to swim, sunbathe, fish, kayak, you name it! This property boasts 90 feet of some of the most level and pristine beach frontage in the area. Perfect for launching one of the properties kayaks, rowboat or paddle boat. Ideal for family's with small children.

At night... bonfires on the beach! A traditional beach fire pit at waters edge, great for roasting marshmallows, telling ghost stories or just enjoying a romantic evening by the water.

Perhaps beach activities aren't your cup of tea. Well then... you can pack up your radio and suntan lotion and take a stroll out to the end of the 100 foot aluminum dock. Now here... you will truly experience a breathtaking view and be able to totally relax surrounded by the serenity and calm of the wind, sun and water.

Is that glorious sunshine making things a little warm? Take a dive off the dock (purposely constructed low to the water) for a refreshing dip in the crystal clear water, where the water depth is a comfortable five foot (average seasonal depth at the end of the dock is approximately five feet, but can vary depending on amount of rainfall during the rental season).

Or Maybe you just wanna kickback in one of the eucalyptus Adirondack chairs under the shade of the covered deck for an afternoon snooze. Or catch up on a good book, while enjoying a glass of one of the area's world famous wines produced, literally, just down the road.

Whatever your preference, we are confident that 'Journey's End' will provide you with a most enjoyable and memorable vacation experience!

Dear Bud and Roseann,

Thank You for a great new vacation spot! We absolutely ejoyed our stay at the cottage, especially with all the comforts of home! You have the perfect combination of beauty between the lake and the cottage. The woodwork was very impressive and I loved the modern appliances. All of your hard work really shows in both the appearance and presentation. The weather was alot nicer than we imagined it would be. Also, as the forcast originally called for rain thoughout our entire stay, I actually got a sunburn! I picked up some wine from one of the many local wineries in the area to share with my friends. By the way, your property description on "VRBO".....everything was just as you advertised and that I think was pretty impressive!

Thanks Again!

Great Family Vacation

5 of 5
Submitted: September 27, 2011 Stayed: July 2011
The cottage was perfect for our family. It was very clean and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed (loved the bottled water dispenser for fresh cold water). We loved that there were a variety of boats at the cottage to use and we used all of them. The dock was awesome and we spent a lot of time there sitting in the Adirondack chairs fishing and watching the boats go by. Our boys spent hours jumping off the dock to swim in the lake. We used the fire pit by the water to cook hotdogs and smores and enjoyed sitting on the swing by the water. The decks were great and the rock walkways were beautifully accented with lighting at night. The owner was wonderful and called shortly after we arrived and also stopped by during our stay to make sure everything was fine. While we were there we hiked Watkins Glen and also visited the Windmill in Penn Yan but other than that we just enjoyed our time at the cottage and all it had to offer.

Excellent Family Cottage

5 of 5
Submitted: September 23, 2011 Stayed: July 2011
We (2 parents, 2 kids ages 11 and 8) stayed for a week and had a great time.

The location is great - it certainly feels like you are way off the beaten path, but it isn't far from the wineries and town. The cottage is nice and small (we like that) but has a massive deck and a long dock. The kayaks are great and the lake is quite stunning overall.

Facilities - the place has pretty much everything you need. Lots of plates, glasses, etc.. Great BBQ - same as mine at home (well, until I replaced it a month ago) - solid Weber.

Trips - head to the Watkins Glen State Park is a must-see. We also enjoyed the Corning Glass Museum. Wineries - hit the Heron Hill (original location on Keuka Lake - it's way nicer than the one that is right by the cottage), and Fox Run

Food - we didn't head out much but a definite hit is R.E.D.S Hot - a Finger Lakes Wienery - awesome hot dogs. Just south on the highway.

There was a minor issue with a lot of seaweed due to the massive rains, but Ed took care of that nicely. Overall an excellent stay - Ed was a great host, visiting occasionally to check up on things and take care of little things (e.g. empty BBQ propane - fixed in minutes).

No hesitation at all in recommending the Journey's End.

This cottage is perfect for a family vacation--we loved it! It is right on beautiful Seneca Lake. Very homey, immaculate and comfortable, and has everything you would need for a great, relaxing vacation. It is very quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed the kayaks, went fishing, swimming, grilled out and drank alot of wine! How I would love to be on the deck of Journey's End this evening sharing a bottle of white wine with Bud and Roseann! (Yes, Bud, I said white--I think you and the fabulous Finger Lakes wineries have made a convert out of me!) The owners bent over backwards to make our vacation delightful and so memorable! We hope to return soon!

Relaxing with all the comforts of home

We just returned from a week at Journey's End and enjoyed every minute of our time there. The cottage was cozy and well equiped with plenty of dishes and pots and pans etc. The vew was wonderful and the outside seating was superb with adirondack chairs everywhere. We had wonderful weather and there are many local attractions, from winerys, antiquing and sidewalk sales. My husband caught his first carp off the dock and a pike not far from shore in the rowboat. We used the paddleboat as well. Saw several deer and took some great pictures.

Thanks for a very nice vacation.
