Lovely Stay

The house is extremely spacious and the view was everything we wanted. Home was stocked with everything you could need. If you stay here and go for a drive stop at Dave & Rita’s Farm Market the homemade breads were absolutely delicious!! Great stay - would highly recommend!

Gorgeous lake front property! Everything was spotless and ready for us. Well stocked, with coffee pot, dishes, grilling utensils and pots and pans. We really enjoyed the fire pit and the gorgeous sunsets. Great location for visiting wineries on Seneca lakes East side.

I stayed at this lakeside VRBO with friends on a wine tasting tour of Lake Seneca. The property is nice, with a great view of the lake. Also very conveniently located to many great wineries. This VRBO was well equipped, and had comfortable beds. Our only issue was that we experienced a problem with the keypad lock entry. We had to use the lockbox key in order to access. Overall, we had a good experience there.

Fantastic location both on the lake and surrounding area. Great views. Home is much more out dated than it appears in photos. Very quick response from property manager. Has everything you need inside, but does not have central AC.

Location location location

Perfect location to local wineries, for walking and enjoying the lake. You can not get closer to the lake. Property had plenty of space for 6 adults and 1 child. Only bad part was having to be out by 10am on a Sunday when wineries didnt open until 11

Great, quiet place to stay at Seneca Lake.

This is a nice location for a quiet and peaceful trip to the Finger Lakes. It’s close to Watkins Glen and a bunch of wineries. And not far from Ithaca. There is ample space in the house which can accommodate larger groups. Not all bedrooms have AC, but they do provide several fans in those spaces. The kayaks were a great addition to enjoy the lake as well as the dock, which was a nice end of the day or early morning spot.

Peaceful, quiet and scenic setting

Enjoyed sitting on the dock sipping wine and enjoying the view. Spacious and comfortable accommodations with a nice view of the lake. Easy and ample parking with close access to the house and a minimal number of steps to the entrance way. Nice hot shower with only adequate water pressure. Reasonable rate for the price offer and location. Within reasonable distance from wineries and other attractions. Ranks high among our stay at other Finger Lakes rental properties.

The house was very comfortable & roomy, & we enjoyed the stay very much. Very quiet neighborhood & pretty view of the lake. The front door sticks badly & the lock needs work, as we had to enter the code 3 times every time to get in. The sheets on the king bed were itchy & the sheets/bedspread on the queen were noisy every time we moved. The fan in the twin bedroom didn't work (no switch or remote & the chain didnt work). Those were the only things thatneeded attention for the next guest.

Great property! Has everything you need! Pretty sure even the tap water is filtered. Comes with small starter kit of dish soap,laundry detergent, a sponge, laundry soap and small travel size shampoo/conditioner. It has emergency kit for cuts etc. Gas grill was spotless! So clean! There is so much room! The two main bedrooms are comfy. Especially the king size bed. There are a TON of pillows!! It also has Two refrigerators which is a big plus. The one bad thing is the water to the downstairs shower can get SUPER HOT! So be careful! It's tricky to get the right temp. You have to be careful not to accidentally bump it when washing your hair as it is a small stand up shower. Views are awesome! Has a great waterfront set up.Parking is super easy! Great for loading and unloading the car! You won't be disappointed staying here.
