About this house rental

Moondance is a spacious, 4 bedroom home on the west shores of Seneca Lake.  Named for the view of the moon coming up over the lake and dancing on the waters; Moondance is a wonderful place to relax and unwind.

Moondance is along a  dead-end lake road, in a small lake front neighborhood, making it a perfect, quiet spot to getaway.  The road is a pleasant place to walk and very family friendly.  The home has 2 floors, each with their own living space and entry. There is a full kitchen on each floor, but the two living spaces can be used as one as well.

Pulling up to Moondance, you will find see the large English-style stone patio area outside of the house.  Walking in the front door, you will enter the spacious entry area.  To the left is the formal Dining room and walking through the Dining Room, you'll access the Kitchen. The Kitchen is fully furnished and has all the amenities you'll need for cooking those great family style meals.

Directly inside the entry area, you walk into the Living Room.  The Living Room has a wall of glass patio doors that open out onto the deck and overlook the lake.  A great space for that indoor/outdoor living feel!  The Living room is quite comfortably furnished with leather couches and chairs as well as a giant settee to relax on in front of the fireplace.  The fireplace is wood burning and adds the perfect ambience to chilly evenings...or just for fun.  There is a large screen TV in the Living Room as well as a game cabinet.

The Master bedroom is off of one end of the Living room and is very spacious.  The Master bedroom has a King size bed, an attached bath (with shower) and large glass doors that open out onto the deck.  This room has a perfect view of the moon when it rises over the lake or those gorgeous Seneca lake sunrises. You'll want to awaken early enough to see it!

On the opposite end of the Living Room are Bedrooms 2 & 3.  Bedroom 2 has a Queen size bed.  Bedroom 3 has a Queen as well and is almost considered a second 'Master bedroom' with it's own private, screened in porch/sitting area plus a wood burning fireplace. Bedroom 2 and 3 share a full bath with a shower.

On the lower level, you'll find a full second Kitchen, Family Room area, Bedroom 4 and a Full bath.  Bedroom 4 has a Queen bed with a full bath right next door to the bedroom. The bath includes a Tub/shower.  In the Family room, there is a futon, TV, and a table for playing games.  This house is the perfect spot for 2 families or couples to stay if you're wanting to spend time together, but have your own spaces.  The upstairs and the lower level can both be self contained with separate outside entrances, and each having a kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom.
The Lower level opens out onto a small covered patio area which is where you will go to access the lake.  From the small patio, you can walk down the stairs to the lake side deck and lakefront.  The house has private beach area and a private dock for guest use.

Great house right on the lake. The views of the lake from the veranda are unmatched. Quiet neighborhood. Close to fabulous hiking and some of the best vineyards in the Finger Lakes.

The home was wonderful for my extended family to gather & enjoy our time together. Unfortunately, the downstairs is damp smelling. The folks were very responsive when contacted. They stated that the mini split downstairs acted like a dehumidifier when changed to that setting. That change helped some; however, there was still an issue. The main floor was spacious. The deck & dock were very nice. If the dampness was taken care of, I would stay here again.

As three couples in their seventies, who have traveled extensively, we were very pleased to be able to find a home available with bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate us all. However, the pictures, online description and reviews were not accurate. The third bathroom was actually in the finished basement. Unfortunately, it was a musty, damp basement. (Not worth a 5***** review!). Also, there was no private, outdoor seating area off the basement. One couple used the basement bathroom, but no one would spend time in the damp basement. Please update your reviews and description to inform people what to expect. Also, as stated above, we have vacationed in many houses and this was not a 5***** clean house. We may have left it cleaner than when we arrived!

We were so impressed with the rooms and property! Very well kept. Really nice interior. But we did not expect the beautiful view of the lake. An added bonus.. Thank you to the hosts for their kind response and willingness to accommodate whatever we need. We will definitely stay here again.
