Brookside: A Beautiful Chalet-Style Getaway on the Shore of Seneca Lake!
Escape to Brookside, a charming chalet hideaway nestled on the shores of Seneca Lake. Named for the babbling brook nearby, this inviting retreat offers a peaceful lakeside experience perfect for families, couples, or friends seeking relaxation and adventure along the Seneca Lake Wine Trail.
A long, winding gravel drive leads you to the lower-level parking area, where you can step into the spacious family recreation room. This area is designed for fun and entertaining, featuring a full-size bar, pool table, comfortable seating, and a TV for movie nights or catching the big game. A queen bed and a half bath are also located on this level, with incredible lake views just steps from the six-person hot tub on the patio, making it the perfect spot to unwind after a day on the water.
An interior staircase brings you up to the stunning great room, which serves as the heart of the home. Relax on the oversized sectional while enjoying the lake views or gather around the dining table, which seats six, for a home-cooked meal from the open country kitchen. Two first-floor bedrooms, each with two single beds, are ideal for kids or can be pushed together to create a king-size bed. The master bedroom, located in the loft, features a queen bed, with an additional single in the hallway. Guests can even fall asleep to the gentle sound of the brook when it's flowing. For extra flexibility, a blow-up air mattress in the laundry room can be used to create additional sleeping space.
Brookside boasts over 150 feet of natural, level lakefront with a variety of activities for all ages. Children will delight in the expansive pebble beach, perfect for collecting shells or skipping stones. Guests with boats can safely store them in the hoist when not in use, while the large permanent dock offers a spot for sunbathing, fishing, or launching non-motorized watercraft to explore the lake and its abundant birdlife.
Located just five miles from Dundee, guests have easy access to groceries, gas, and local dining. With Watkins Glen and Geneva within a half-hour drive, there is no shortage of attractions, and wine lovers will appreciate being in the heart of Finger Lakes Wine Country with award-winning wineries just minutes away. Brookside offers the perfect combination of lakeside fun, relaxation, and convenient access to the region's highlights.
Please note that the driveway is steep going down to the house. An AWD or 4-wheel-drive vehicle may be needed, and navigating with a boat trailer can be challenging.
Brookside is the perfect Finger Lakes retreat for families and friends who want to enjoy the water, explore the local wineries, and unwind in a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Between the hot tub, spacious lakefront, and fun-filled lower-level recreation room, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Book your stay today and make Brookside your favorite lakeside escape.
