Welcome to Lil Hickory

Welcome to Lil’ Hickory, your serene  escape tucked away in the charming Sylvan Beach area on beautiful Waneta Lake. This cozy tiny home is the perfect retreat for couples or solo travelers looking for peace, simplicity, and stunning lakefront views.

The Space:
Lil’ Hickory may be tiny, but it’s packed with comfort and charm. Inside, you’ll find a comfy queen-size bed that sleeps two, a well-equipped kitchen with a stove, dishwasher, and Keurig coffee maker—perfect for slow mornings with coffee by the water. Fire up the BBQ grill outside and enjoy your meals steps from the lake.

Private Beach Access:
Step out your door and wander down to Sylvan Beach. Swim, sunbathe, or sip wine or enjoy a cup of coffee as the sun sets and rises  over the lake—it’s all yours to enjoy.

Location & Nearby Attractions:
Located on Waneta Lake, Lil’ Hickory offers a peaceful retreat just a short drive from Hammondsport, voted one of America’s coolest small towns. Explore Keuka Lake Wine Trail, tour the Glenn H. Curtiss Aviation Museum, or enjoy local dining, breweries, and boutique shopping in the historic village. Outdoor lovers will find hiking, fishing, kayaking, and boating all within reach.
