We just returned from a week stay in Rock Stream. It was a family get together and included our elderly parents (97, 90 yrs old). The main floor bedroom and bathroom were perfect for our parents. The house is old, beautiful and full of history. We spent most of our indoor time on the front porch - so perfect for large gatherings. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we could want, including containers for left overs. I was worried I wouldn't find a rolling pin but it was there and we enjoyed a delicious wild blueberry pie. The house was very clean, the bedrooms are so pretty with antiques and comfortable bed linens. Plenty of bath towels. We brought our own corn hole game and croquette set and was so surprised to see one already there! There is all kinds of outdoor equipment and games for kids of all ages. The setting is so beautiful - we had a wonderful time and hope to visit again. Thank you!

Plenty of room, kept mostly as it was a long time ago, but clean and nice. It's a very nice spot on the lake.

A lovely place to stay. There is no A/C but plenty of fans and airflow with huge windows.

Plenty of space, a well-stocked kitchen, and a beautiful property in this historic home. You can't beat the view of Seneca Lake with a nice lawn for playing on when not skipping stones, searching for beach glass or playing in the lake. It's uncomfortably warm upstairs without AC but jumping in the lake cools you down quickly. We made wonderful family memories again this week!

Reminded me of staying with my grandma in her summer cottage by the water growing up... steps from the shore of the lake with a canoe and rowboat to enjoy. We played croquet and corn hole on the lawn, ate meals on the screened in porch; all perfect for our group. True there is no AC or heat, but a portable fan in every room, some extra blankets (we were there when night got down to 40°F so needed more warmth); just come prepared and you are sure to find the scenery peaceful and home inviting. Great location close to Watkins Glen State Park and wineries. Lots of supplies in kitchen although not labeled so takes some searching to find or know where to return items. Took a few tries to open lockbox with key, but did eventually. If you're looking for something modern, then this may not be your thing, but we loved the character and charm, plus reading about the home's history. Vacasa did not always have correct answers to our queries: said there were no portable fans, thought there were 2 canoes, but nothing crucial. Thanks for wonderful memories.

It was clean. The online literature is confusing and the pictures were misleading. You do not have access to a dock. Hopefully they fixed that now. The neighbors let their children poop in the lake right next door to where your kids are swimming so kind of gross. We thought that the lake areas up there had passed measures that sewage would not be in the lake any longer. And on our last full day there - a huge stream of dead fish were in the waters at the beach - I mean hundreds if not thousands of dead fish were just floating at the beach. The kids could not take the smell of the water and had to take a shower after even trying to wade in the water that didn't seem to have many dead fish.
