From the minute we walked in the door and saw the stunning view, our whole big family was overjoyed. The house was perfect for us. Grandma and Grandpa had a haven downstairs, all the kids and parents slept upstairs, and the generous family/dining room was home base. We loved the lakeside dock, kayaks, and fire pit. The host provided every detail we needed and provided a clean and organized house with all the conveniences. Beautiful area too! What a lovely introduction to the Finger Lakes!

We had an amazing weekend! The location was superb, the weather was perfect. We were close to Walkens Glenn, where we enjoyed hiking and downtown. Dream with a view was also close to many wineries. We toured a lot of them and had a great tour guide and had a beautiful afternoon. Thank you so very much for sharing this beautiful getaway on Seneca lake.

Beautiful place , everything just like advertised. This place has lots of extras , if you forget it they probably have it . The waterfront is beautiful, just not great for swimming/ weeds . Very spacious, enough room for everyone. Pretty close to Penn yen for shopping. Had a wonderful time with family!

What an awesome house! It was perfect for 10 adult women to have a 40th birthday girls getaway. The kitchen is stocked with every appliance, pot, pan, dish, and utensil that you could ever need, with a dining table that comfortably seats 12 so we could cook a big birthday celebration dinner. Access to the dock and being able to kayak each morning was wonderful. Then, easy access to SO MANY wineries in the area. It was a quiet retreat, even with neighbors nearby. Christina, our host, was amazing. She helped identify area resources for us and was super communicative throughout.

My family said here for a family reunion, and we were all very happy we chose this house for our gathering. It easily accommodated everyone inside for meals, etc. There were even some games and activities to help keep kids entertained.
The house was so well-maintained. It was very clean and well stocked. I was really impressed with how organized the host with conveying information ahead of our stay and with making sure the house had everything we might need. For example, there were extra linens and towels on each floor.
The views of the lake were beautiful and we enjoyed swimming off the dock. You could even touch the bottom of the lake by the dock. The water was shallow and good for small children.
The photos don’t quite do the house justice. There have been some aesthetic updates since the photos, and the furniture has been arranged in a way that allows for more space, a nice flow, and more seating. Everything was just very well thought out, and the host was very easy to work with and a great communicator. I would definitely recommend staying here and would love the opportunity to stay here again.

We stayed here for a multi-family vacation. The space is setup very nicely for large gatherings on the main floor and has a nicely stocked kitchen. It was great being right on the water. The kids love swimming off the dock and riding their bikes to the park close by. We really enjoyed our stay!!

We stayed in the Finger Lakes for the last three years in various houses. This is the nicest, biggest and most gorgeous house we rented. Everything looked good as new and amenities were amazing!

We had a wonderful time in this gorgeous house. Our blended family had a great time on the lake, playing games, hiking, and biking. Town is cute with a nice playground, tennis courts and ice cream within easy walking. Had one issue with the coffee maker that the owner fixed by noon that day.

My family and I (including parents and brother's family) stayed here recently for a week. The owner was great and quite responsive. The house was very good for our needs and it was only a few steps out to the beach which is quite flat (zero-entry in the lake). Central AC worked very well. The kitchen was EXTREMELY well-stocked including things like plastic wrap, plastic bags, spices, dishwashing liquid, dishwasher detergent; similarly there was ample detergent, paper towels/toilet paper, soap, shampoo. Appreciated the very long dining table where all of us could sit at once, and the outside dining area is nice, too - but be aware it is one level down from the main floor. Also be aware that they ask you to vacuum and sweep/wet-mop the floors and to wash and fold as many towels/bath mats as you can prior to leaving. Would have liked to have the option to pay a cleaning fee in order to not have to do these things as we had to make sure to do them the night before we left. Overall, fantastic stay and we would stay here again.

Great home for our large family!
Dreaming a view was a great place for our large family. Our guest group was 8-11 people on any given day for our 5 night stay. The home was clean, stocked well with kleenex, TP, paper towels, sheets,cleaning supplies, vacuums and most importantly had a beautiful view. The new owner Christina was very responsive to my texts. My only nit picky complaint was that the ice maker was broken (I'm sure they will replace this soon as new owners) and so we spent a lot of time running to pen yann to get more. The kitchen had great cooking tools, baking sheets and dishes, tons of wine glasses and was perfectly positioned for wine touring in the finger lakes! We would definitely stay again without hesitation!

Beautiful, CLEAN house!!!
Wow! From the moment we stepped in we were impressed. The view is amazing, the place is quiet and calming. The house is in immaculate condition!! We had everything we needed and then some. The owners truly took the time to think through every detail of this home. I would recommend this place to anyone planning a fingerlakes trip!! The communication with the host was quick and she answered all my questions before coming to the place. Kudos to these owners, this is everything a VRBO vacation should be from start to finish. Thank you again for everything!

Simply a Dream
Oh I don't think there are enough words to effectively articulate just how incredible a stay at "Dreaming of View" is. From the moment we pulled up to the driveway our jaws dropped.
When you walk into the door, it smells so clean and it instantly feels like home. Pictures seriously do not do this place justice. The location on the water is breathtaking - we enjoyed sitting out on the balcony (even in February) to watch the sun rise on the lake. It's located right on the Wine Trail which makes travel so easy! And only 10 minutes away from some yummy restaurants!
Linda is just a darling. She was so responsive, kind, and made us feel so safe.
We were a group of 7 girls and are already planning the trips we are going to be taking with our husbands and future children. I never could have imagined a better vacation!!!
