About this house rental

Welcome to Water's Edge!

Water's Edge is a beautifully renovated cottage set right on Seneca Lake. It's just minutes from dozens of wineries, breweries and the quaint town of Penn Yan. With more than 90' of beachfront, a lush and level yard, a covered porch, picnic table, plus a 30 foot dock -- it is the perfect spot for you Finger Lakes vacation.

The main level features a fully renovated 'great' room with the kitchen, dining area, and family room - all surrounded by 3 walls of windows offering a panoramic view of one of the widest sections of Seneca Lake. The picturesque fireplace made of local river stone and new tongue & groove pine ceiling bring the natural beauty indoors. The side door leads to a private covered outdoor patio for another spot to relax in the shade or away from the rain (should Mother Nature send some your way.)

At Water's Edge you can get away from it all, yet still have the comforts of home:

The new kitchen features granite counters, all-new stainless steel appliances, new cabinets, a built-in microwave, full-sized refrigerator, toaster, coffee maker, coffee grinder, blender, baking sheets, mixing bowls, utensils, grill tools and more.

Settle into the cushy leather sofa and love seat to enjoy the view, play a game, read a book, or - if you just can't leave technology behind - watch tv on one of the two smart TVs or use you own devices with the complimentary WiFi.

You get more than amazing lake views -- you get direct, easy access to the lake! The private beachfront is great for wading and swimming or launching a kayak or canoe. The dock is great for fishing or jumping in for a swim. Unfortunately the dock and property cannot accommodate power boats.

The most relaxing vacation I’ve had. We had a fantastic time swimming and kayaking in the lake. Went to the falls and saw a super moon over the lake. Beautiful. Everything was perfect and the host/hostess were on top of their game with communication. 10/10. We’ll back back.

Had a great stay ! Loved the location and seclusion. House was totally clean and tidy. (exterior doors could use some work, and outdoor chairs need replacing). Overall, happy with our stay and will probably book again !

The house is very old and dirty. It has a smell. I had to go get a shower liner because the one that was in the bathroom was disgusting. No air conditioner. Fly strips on the windows. I left 4 days early, I couldn't stay.

Pros: Waterfront, close to vineyards,15 mins to Watkins Glen, house has cold air conditioning. Cons: Pics VERY misleading and outdated. Nicer furniture in pictures than what actually exists in house. There are also no boat whips on the dock to tie a boat, even though the owner told me prior to making the reservation that there were. I Only booked because there was supposed to be a boat hoist and dock whips. Prior to making a reservation i mentioned to the owner I wanted to make sure this rental could accommodate both a 16ft boat as well as a jet ski. He told me it would. I made the reservation 6 months in advance and received a confirmation email stating I would receive check-in instructions the week of my arrival. A month prior to the trip I received an email saying I was only allowed to bring one watercraft and which require approval after sending them pics of the boat. If I sent them pics, only then would I be sent the location where i was allowed to park the trailer, which was several miles from the rental- very annoying. Even those instructions were confusing and there was no exact address provided. I was told to look for a gravel road,but instead it ended up being field where I was supposed to leave the trailers (since trailers not permitted at rental). Very dangerous boat lift, as there is no way to safely get from the dock into the boat, so everytime I would have to get into the water waist deep then climb into the boat. Very sharp rocks in water, wear shoes!

Karen and Todd were great to work with and very accommodating. The house offered everything you would need to enjoy time at the lake. Secluded property that offered privacy. Great location, which in my mind was equal distance from both Watkins and Geneva. Penn Yan was a short drive and had everything you would need to supply your stay. The house was clean and had plenty of room for a family of 5. A plus was they allow pets, which was nice since we could bring our two dogs. The entrance to the property was a little tight getting around the little bridge but I could get my extended bed truck in and out without any problems. We enjoyed our two week rental and I would not hesitate to recommend the property to anyone looking to rent lakefront property on Seneca.

This home is just lovely. It has stunning views, is quiet, and centrally located to Geneva, Penn Yan, and Watkins Glen. We enjoyed our quiet Thanksgiving on the water immensely!
