Located on a quiet street with a level lot, you can drive right up to the entry door to unload. The main entry opens up into a spacious great room, with skylights to provide natural lighting and hardwood floors throughout. The kitchen is nicely appointed, featuring granite countertops and stainless steel appliances and with plenty of counter space and bar style seating at the island to enjoy snacks or light meals. The stylish dining set enjoys a view of the lake and seats six comfortably or expands up to ten. The living room area is comfortably furnished with two leather sofas and a cable TV with DVD player for enjoying a movie in the evenings. For those that desire the Adirondack feel, a beautiful stone fireplace is available for comfort in spring and fall. A bedroom with a queen size bed and full bathroom complete the main floor.

For those looking for more solitude, a charming bunk house situated behind the house features a queen bed as well as a convenient full bath – great for children or adults to enjoy! This is a seasonal bunk house and is available only from May through September.
A covered porch wraps around the south and lakeside of the house, offering plenty of comfortable seating for enjoying meals outdoors and lounging out of the hot summer sun. Just across the quiet service drive is 85 feet of natural, pebble lakefront! The wade-in, gradual entry is ideal for all ages, and a large permanent dock and hoist are provided for guests' use.
Located just a short drive to Watkins Glen and surrounded by wineries, Absolutely Shore is ideally positioned on the east side of Seneca Lake with beautiful sunset views. Easy access to famous Watkins Glen, numerous wineries, small country shops, country stores and great hiking are just a few of the things that make this home a great choice for your next Finger Lakes vacation.

I can't imagine staying anywhere else. We loved everything about this cabin. Plenty of room for six people. Walk out your door to a private dock, fire pit and stunning views. Very clean, sanitized thick towels, great shower pressure, comfortable inside and out. Ideal location near wineries and restaurants.Modern, spacious and tons of books, games and movies to enjoy. No water toys but rentals not far. We can't wait to come back!!

The home is beautiful and comfortably furnished. Beautiful view of the lake, nice yard for playing games. We were there early in the season and there was a misunderstanding about whether or not the bunk house was being used that was quickly rectified by the property management company. They were in communication and easy to reach until it was handled. Great place to stay.

Our family had a wonderful stay at Absolutely shore. The house was even nicer in person than the pictures. Very clean and cozy. The boys particularly liked being able to have a firepit down by the lake. Mom and Dad really liked having a fire lit inside the beautiful great room. Really a nice experience all around. We would definitely stay again.

From the first splash in the lake to the final paddle around, it was a great multi-generational family vacation. The house was well stocked, and the neighborhood was safe. We loved being able to walk out the front door and walk onto the dock where we could swim, paddle, or fish. Took advantage of hiking Watkins Glen one morning.

Wonderful winter getaway
This house was absolutely beautiful!
Very clean, decorated nicely with a spectacular view right on the lake with beautiful sunsets. We all had a great time playing board games & drinking hot cocoa by the fireplace. Our 2 girls (6) & (10) didn’t want to leave. We are already looking into renting for the summer.
Great communication with Finger lakes Premier Property very attentive agents.

Location Location
For us the location of the house right on the lake with easy access to the dock was the crowning feature. It had nice seating and a glass of wine made for a delightful sunset experience.
The house itself is spacious and nice and worked well for us. ( two couples). The kitchen was well stocked and had nice appliances and room to cook.
Our major suggestion is declutter the house. Too much stuff (toss pillows, old lamps, books, vases, etc) take away from the amazing living space and beauty of the cabin!
5.0 / 5.0
Comfortable cabin on the lake
Our stay was comfortable and sitting on the dock was wonderful given the unseasonably warm weather we were lucky enough to have. I had read some of the reviews before booking and was a bit unsure, but took a chance and was glad we did. This is not the most luxurious home we have stayed in, but it was clean, comfortable and we would recommend it. We were a party of 4 and I’ll share our experience in the hope it helps others make a decision.
Pros:
- there were plenty of towels and linens with multiples left in every room. The sheets and towels come wrapped in plastic as a COVID measure, so you have to make your bed. We did not find this off- putting. There are plenty of additional blankets, pillows, etc. in each bedroom closet should they be needed.
- Supplies: there was a cute welcome package on the counter that included 1 roll of paper towels, dish soap, a new sponge, 2 dishwasher tablets and 2 kitchen towels. We were also left a complimentary bottle of a locally produced salad dressing. There were extra garbage bags left in all the wastebaskets. The kitchen bags are HUGE and can hold a lot! There were 2 rolls of toilet paper in each bathroom. As we were there for only 3 nights, we found all supplies to be ample and satisfactory. We never expect unlimited supplies when renting a home.
- in addition to the living room, each bedroom has a TV with cable. The room I stayed in has a smart TV that wasn’t connected to the internet to watch any streaming channels. I connected it :)
- the house has great internet and we never had an issue with connectivity. Please note the login information for the network is not correct although the password was. I just clicked on networks until the password worked :)
Cons:
- there was a note on the counter when we checked in to “not use the upstairs shower for 24 hours” without explanation. There were only 4 of us so this wasn’t a hardship, but an explanation would have been appreciated. We used it after 24 hours and all the plumbing worked perfectly without issue including the dishwasher.
- the home could use some updating, but everything was functional.
- the queen bedroom and the bathroom upstairs are missing blinds. The curtains could be closed so you have some privacy, but it’s a small, inexpensive fix that makes a difference.
Overall, we recommend it for its location and cleanliness. We’d stay again!

Seneca Lake Family Vacation
A multigenerational family vacation from age 3 to 75. The house was a few steps away from beautiful Seneca Lake with easy access to enjoy the lake life on the dock or shore. Proximity to wineries and nearby waterfalls for hikes.

Perfect lake house retreat
The place looked exactly as advertised. Kitchen was better equipped than any other place we’ve ever rented. Loved that DVDs and board games were there to borrow. Excellent outdoor seating. Wonderful access to the dock. But we did find out it’s not the place to fish because of some drilling which brought in salt which drove out fish (so save yourself there and don’t pack your gear). Situated in proximity to some great Finger Lakes attractions. All in all, we loved this property and highly recommend it. Lake life is ideal here.

Great stay
Description on where house is located needs to give as much information as possible. We were confused at dark trying to find the house when google said we were there and clearly we weren’t.
1.0 / 5.0
Excellent location but terrible service.
The Finger Lakes Property Management service is the worst I have ever experienced. I suggest avoiding them, if possible. Here are the details for those who might want them.
1. Got the lock box code after multiple calls. Should have given us touch pad code from the start.
2. They took >24 h to fix a clog in the upstairs bathroom sink.
3. The day after the sink was fixed, it started leaking in the kitchen. So 6 of us were restricted to using a single bathroom sink for 2 days.
4. Provided absolutely minimal cleaning supplies: only 2 dishwasher cleaning tablets and 2 kitchen towels for 6 days of rental for 6 people. When I called to request more kitchen towels, I was told they cannot provide more.
5. Don’t have expect the most basic kitchen supplies such as coffee filters, salt, pepper, etc. Have never experienced this before.
6. On the last morning, we were asked to leave the keys on kitchen counter and we accidentally left one of our backpacks in the house. I called the Property Management people, who indicated that the cleaning lady will arrive in about two hours. When she didn’t, I called again and was told that she was delayed because she had a hard time retrieving the key from a lock box. To cut a long story short, she finally arrived and entered the house using the touch pad lock on the back door (she didn’t need a key and we could have been given the touch pad code to retrieve our bag pack 3.5 h earlier). Moreover, she told us that she was not contacted by Finger Lakes Property Management at all. In fact, she would have come sooner to open the door for us, if she had been contacted. Bottom line: we were fed a lot of lies by the Finger Lakes Property Management Service. This was the final straw that broke the camel’s back.
7. Finally, when I called to complain, it took them 4 days to get a customer care manager to call me back to discuss my issues- unacceptable behavior by a company in hospitality business. Stay away!

Absolutely Shore was an absolutely wonderful experience. Came here with 5 of my lifetime friends to celebrate our 65th birthdays. Was an experience of a lifetime. The house and property was perfect!!

Birthday Celebration
We stayed at this house with 2 other couples for a Winter Birthday Celebration. The house is great! Everything seems new in the house including the appliances and furniture. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need. There is a big screen TV in the living room and also each of the bedrooms. The fireplace was an added bonus! This house is directly on the lake and would be awesome in the summer.
