A beautiful stay in wine country! The moment we walked into the living room, our breath was taken away. It's a gorgeous view of the lake in a quiet neighborhood. The home is classy and spacious, and Shaun made sure we were comfortable during our stay. He is a responsive host, and we would love to stay again!

We booked this house for a weekend away in the Finger Lakes and it was perfect. The home is stunning, and is perfectly situated right on the water. It was close to Watkins Glen and was right on the Seneca Wine Trail. For the home itself, it was a perfect place to stay. Spacious, well kept, extra amenities like a grill, a beautiful wrap around porch, and kayaks! We loved our time here and would love to come back. Highly recommend !

Beautiful views and so relaxing!

We were in town with family and friends for a race and loved our stay here. The wrap-around porch with rocking chairs overlooking the lake was so magical. The host was very easy to work with, communicative, and accessible. The also had fishing poles, a canoe, and games. We would definitely come back!

This is a beautiful, old Victorian home going through the process of renovation. We were a family of 10 and the space met our needs for the past two weeks. We truly enjoyed the expansive front porch, the level access to the lake, the friendly community and boating and swimming activities in the lake.

BEAUTIFUL LAKESIDE VIEW

This home leaves you speechless with its beautiful view of the lake. It is kid friendly and has lots of room for guest. The house is nicely furnished and newly renovated but still makes you feel at home! There were even snacks as a welcoming gift. I will definitely be coming back!

House was great, spacious inside and out. Owner was more than helpful and easy to get in touch with including fast responses. We rented for a 3 day weekend ( myself and family ) to say final goodbyes to a recently deceased family member and it was just what we needed. Little to no issues or complaints. We plan to rent the same property in the future

Great location, great home, lots to do in the area and at the home. Cooked many meals at the house, ate dinner out only once to celebrate 3 family birthdays. Rented a pontoon boat from Anchor Inn one afternoon (awesome time on the lake) and did a couple wine tastings. Wagner was fantastic! Also check out Lakewood for excellent wines as well. Sitting on the porch and in the living room looking out across the lake was perfect. And lots of cornhole games on the front porch. Perfect stay for 8 adults from up and down the east coast. Loved it!

A Week on Seneca Lake

We were very happy that when we arrived, we were met by the very nice host who explained the boundary lines of the property and beach front, and gave us a tour of the house. The kitchen was well-stocked with most of the items that we needed, but we did purchase a regular coffee maker and several pitchers for drinks. Also, we could have used a few more large serving/wooden spoons, but we managed very well. The kitchen was very pretty and there was plenty of seating for the 13 of us to eat our meals between the dining room and kitchen.

We had a family reunion with eleven family members ranging from 24 to 87 years old. We were concerned about accessibility for the octogenarians, ages 83 and 87, both of whom walk with canes, but the porch was beautiful and the few stairs down to the yard and the walk (about 50 yards) to the lake were quite manageable for them. There were plenty of chairs on the porch, so that was a nice place to sit and chat as a family. The owner who was very communicative, sending a delivery of toilet paper and paper towels and offering to drop off another table during our stay. Thanks for that. He had just put in new flowers around the porch which were lovely. We had hoped to rent a boat but the weather conspired and the dock was not in place yet since it was early in the season. Some electrical problems in the house made outlets in one bedroom not work - two engineers among the family checked the panel and all, but it wasn’t something that was easily solved. Extension cords saved the day! The views were beautiful, especially of the sunset, and games of frisbee and cornhole were nice family activities. It was nice to watch a mourning dove sit on her nest - see photos! Parking was plentiful. All in all, a good trip!

Multi-Generational Family Vacation at the Lake

Our stay was truly memorable, especially for its stunning sunsets and outdoor activities on the lake. The large covered porch gave us an amazing view of the water, and occasional bald eagle, making it the perfect spot for morning coffee or to unwind in the evenings. With a family ranging in age from 6 to 71, we were able to all enjoy the various parts of the property. The private waterfront was ideal for fishing and swimming, and the provided kayaks and paddleboards made for a fun time on the water. We also enjoyed the spacious lawn and fire pit for evening gatherings and kickball. The location was great as well. Watkins Glen was just a short ride away with access to grocery and convenience stores, boat rentals, and plenty of breweries and wineries within minutes. The owner was very helpful and accommodating providing suggestions and catering to any requests that we had. Overall, the combination of the beautiful views and outdoor activities made our vacation very enjoyable and great to come together as a family.

Beautiful location, poor execution

The property was beautiful and you couldn't ask for a better location. However, the beauty of the property couldn't hide the poor fit and finish. The upstairs bathroom's shower and tub were unusable because of drain issues, thus it isn't a 3 bathroom house. The dishwasher wasn't secure to the cabinet causing concerns with using it. Due to issues with the well, we were told not to drink the water, so we had to buy gallons of water during the week. We contacted the property manager about these issues, but none of them were addressed during our stay. This place has a ton of potential and if the issues are addressed, it will be a great place to stay.

Great location and house needs a lot of work!!!

Location is great, lake view with access to beautiful lake. However the house needs a lot of work. First of all the owner needs to find a good cleaning company because we when arrived it looked like it wasn’t even cleaned, dust everywhere, dirty toilet seat, garbage under beds, dirty sheets. Secondly, all bedrooms and bathrooms had no locks and One of the bedrooms had a door standing next to it with no hinges to put it on and one bathroom had a hole instead of a lock with two spoons going through it in casw you have to go you hold the door from the i side. The dining room furniture looks like its about to fall apart. There are no blackout shades nor drapes, just assorted sheers on windows so no privacy and you have to wake up at subrise. Lastly, this house although looks like is in process of ongoing renovation, is very old so no insulation and When you walk or talk everything to a word is heard everywhere.

The property is beautiful with a gorgeous view of Seneca Lake.The property needs some tlc - the towels were provided but very poor quality. No body wash was in dispensers in showers. Unfortunately, our stay was disrupted by a mouse or mice on the first floor. We would have enjoyed more if that wasn’t occurring.First floor bedrooms were not very clean, spiders.
