We stayed here for our annual family vacation in May 2023 and we had a two year old and a 9 months old with us. The space is so clean and spacious, we enjoyed our time here and the view from the deck was amazing!

We had a great time hanging out at the property and taking in the beautiful lake views. It was a perfect space for our family to rest and relax while also being close enough to wineries, restaurants, and other attractions when we wanted to explore. Would highlight recommend

Beautiful stay in a nice home. The neighborhood and the neighbors were very friendly and helpful. Would come back again. Really liked the house. Close in proximity to many of the things. We enjoy. Can’t wait to see the new dock. That’s being built starting tomorrow.

Really wonderful and gorgeous house. The views just take your breath away. You can't beat the porch, which is where we spent most of our time. Our family had plenty of room to spread out with enough bathrooms that we weren't bumping into each other. I wouldn't hesitate to rent here again. My criticism includes, on the listing there is a sleeper sofa/futon on the lower level, either we couldnt figure out how to pull it out or we have different definitions of a sleep soda, either way I had a family member that wasn't able to utilize it as advertised in the listing. The other item is there is a list of items to do before leaving , nothing outrageous but since check out time is at 10am with the penalty of an extra charge if late, it left us rushing to get the list done instead of relaxing during our last morning. All in all, a really beautiful house , great location to wineries, Geneva and Watkins Glen .

Great place to stay with a large group. Very pretty on the lake. Property manager needs to be a little more helpful and respond more quickly as we fixed the problem ourselves while we waited for a response but overall it was a great trip.

This is one of the nicest places we have stayed in the fifteen years we have rented summer homes in the finger lakes. The huge wall of windows gives a great view of Seneca Lake from the living room, dining room and kitchen. The deck is huge and lots of seating/table was provided. The gradual water entry was welcomed for kayaking, playing on floats and use by our dog. The home was very clean. Owner easy to reach with questions. Lots of living and sleeping space. Powerful a/c was appreciated, although some zone differences in temperature were tricky to negotiate. Furniture was in great condition. Kitchen fully equipped. Will stay here again!

We rented from 8/14-8/21 but won’t rent again for the following reasons: Upon our arrival we found wet laundry in a VERY overloaded dryer (2 sets of sheets, 8 bath towels, several wash cloths and hand towels) all in one load! I rewashed all of it (separated into 3 loads) to make sure it was clean. The first load of 4 bath towels and washcloths took two 50 minute cycles on high heat to dry. I left Todd a message on 8/15 about the laundry issue, dryer not working properly and a broken window near the driveway. He replied within 5 minutes and advised a replacement window was on order and would have their service company call me directly to coordinate a time to check the dryer. By 8/17 there was a bigger issue; mouse droppings on the kitchen counter! I left Todd a message requesting an immediate reply and advised their service company didn’t call me about the dyer (Todd didn’t reply). I left him another message on 8/18 (still no reply from Todd). The “Welcome to the Lake” instructions at the house only had Todd’s number to call; however after arriving home and accessing my email I found additional phone numbers for Tom and Norm (perhaps they could be added to the instructions at the house). I also planned on notifying Todd of the following but he didn’t return my calls: Only a small section of the dock was rebuilt and the rest is in horrible condition! The mooring whips were installed into old split boards; the board closest to the end of the dock was lifted up, twisted and not properly screwed. During a heavy rain storm we were concerned about our boat being damaged and had to purchase additional bumpers to protect it from the dock. The master bedroom mattress has two deep body impressions and needs to be replaced. We couldn’t use the shower/tub in the main bath upstairs because it wouldn’t drain. The morning sun heats up the family room; unfortunately the sliding doors don’t have screens so we either had to turn the A/C way down or leave the doors open and deal with the flies/bees. The handle was missing from the sliding door near the kitchen. Upon retrieving my dog’s toy from under the couch I noticed lots of dust and a few game pieces from previous renters. Walking barefoot will confirm the floors were not clean. The lower level shower stall had black mold on the ceiling. The sliding door lock on the lower level doesn’t work; there’s just a board there for security. The fire pit was by the water and not inviting to use in a corner of tall weeds.

We loved the house and location! It was a beautiful sunrise both days we stayed. Very nice open area for dining and relaxing/playing board games. Highly recommend!

Very helpful communications with hosts Todd and Tom - No issues getting in and settled. Place has a world class view of Seneca lake. It’s comfortable for several families and well maintained. Very nice neighborhood and proximity to groceries, restaurants and wineries. Hope to stay there again next year!

Enjoyed being right on the lake and close to so many wineries

We really enjoyed our stay. This home is perfectly located 1/2 way between Watkins Glenn and Geneva and within minutes of dozens of wineries. If you chose to stay at this property I recommend renting a boat from Roy's marina to get the full experience of the lake. The home was perfect for 10 adults and dogs. We used goggle maps to find local attractions (wineries, breweries, restaurants, etc) and we really had a blast. The only criticism we could pass would be the exterior of the house and landscaping was less than desirable to say the least. The boat dock is in need of repair and the property landscaping should be improved to enhance the experience of enjoying the the outdoors of this property. We found ourselves either on the large deck or lower patio every night enjoying the view of the lake. I would definitely recommend this home for anyone to stay! Hope you enjoy!

Great place to stay! We had 7 adults, 3 kids, and dogs here and had plenty of room. House was clean when we arrived. The stairs out to the dock are a little steep but if you take your time, it’s no problem. All of us enjoyed our stay and would definitely return to this property!

Beautiful home with a beautiful view!

House is great, location is very good, dock and beach area are good enough. 6 adults and 1 lake-loving dog had a comfortable stay. Neighbors were friendly and helpful with local info on things to do i.e. Watkins Glen Gorge, wineries, etc. Suggestions include improve the wifi, clean the ceiling fans. We would stay again, the views are priceless.

The property was just as expected. Plenty of room for all of us and very comfortable. Excellent location, beautiful area. The property is in the middle of everything. Several friends asked about the property after posing pictures. The owner was very helpful and always got right back to me with any questions I had.

Upon our Sunday arrival, we were greeted by overflowing garbage from the last occupants. We notified the property manager, it was picked up on Friday. This property has been severely neglected. The house was not cleaned throughly. The kitchen counters and cabinets were not wiped down. We found pots and pans left dirty with dried food on them and mouse droppings in the cabinets. The kitchen was not as advertised and was ill equipped. The outside property was even more of a disappointment, not to mention dangerous. The upper deck's railing was loose. The steps leading to the beach were old and in disrepair. The dock was equally unsafe if not worse, we couldn't walk to the end of the dock without it shaking uncontrollably with loose, uneven boards and exposed nails. The property's landscaping is overgrown and like the rest of the property has been neglected. There was a rain storm one night which flooded the downstairs bedrooms. We had to scramble to prevent our belongings from being damaged. The property manager was responsive to our concerns, however, I believe this is a case of absentee, or distant property owners who's main concern is collecting rental fees and could care less about the property it-self. Finally, we saved all year for this vacation and this home was NOT as advertised. Huge disappointment!!!

This property is beautiful. It was the perfect get away for our family. The house inside is well taken care of and had plenty of amenities and accessories. The location is prime. You are right in the middle of the lake, very close to wineries, Penn Yan, Geneva and Watkins Glen. We had an issue with a non working oven and the owner had someone over asap to replace it. The only negative I would say is that the outside of the house does not exactly look like the pictures. We had brought a photographer in for a day to take 3 of our kids senior pictures and a new family photo. The hill leading down to the lake is very overgrown and the beach area is also overgrown. We were able to get some great shots from the top deck and the neighbor was kind enough to let us use her yard. I would imagine it's not a top priority because the water is definitely still visible and accessible- it was just not as the picture shows. Overall we had a fabulous trip and would definitely consider renting this home again.

This was a great place to get together with friends! The house was clean and beautiful and we had a great time at the lake. Plenty of space on the main floor to gather with a group. My only issue with the property was that the dock was very old and there were lots of overgrown brush that was not shown in the images.

We stayed there in the beginning of the month and overall, we loved our stay. The view is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL, and is so quiet, we spent every night outside till 9:30 just enjoying. The house is perfectly located between Watkins Glen and Geneva and it allowed us to go to great restaurants for take out. It is also very close to all the wineries, which was so fun and made for a fabulous location. The house for the most part was very clean. The Property Manager was responsive with any questions we had and tried to be as flexible as possible if something came up which was incredibly appreciated! We would stay here again in a second and talk about trying to come back to Seneca Lake in the Fall! There are a few things that could be addressed in the house. There is no house manual for how things work which meant we needed to contact the Property Manager for issues like AC, garbage, etc. One of the couches in the upstairs living room is definitely broken in the middle so that could use an upgrade. We used the outdoor furniture on the upper deck all of the time but when we got there, we had to do a deep cleaning outside (wash down the table, sweep all the leaves, etc.). Some of the dishes in the kitchen were in bad shape and should be removed (we rewashed all the dishes when we got there and but there were a number that were in bad shape, even the dishwasher couldn't clean them). In terms of WiFi since we know this is a big question given remote working, we had 3 people who needed WiFi. If you do a lot of virtual conferencing, I recommend that you bring a jet pack/hotspot. The house WiFi had low download speed and the house comes with 1 jet pack. However, if you do virtual conferencing like we did, 1 jet pack only allowed for 1 person to be on it without having issues. Overall, great stay! OH and the neighbors are so nice and friendly!

Great location

Great property inside and out. Perfect for a quick wine tour weekend or a family and friends vacation stay. It has everything you need including a sunrise and sunset view.

This property was homey and scenic. Access was easy and there was plenty of room. The owner was always responsive and communication was simple.

Our experience here was great. The location was easy to find and the property was perfect for our group of 8. The lake view was amazing and the house was very cozy for gathering when we weren't on the wine tours. I highly recommend this rental.

This house was so beautiful.We had a great time had a small issue but the owners were right on it.We will definitely be going back.It was so beautiful there thank you.

We had a group of 8...the house was perfect for us. Had a few questions when we arrived and the property manager addressed them in a timely manner. The view from the deck overlooking the lake was spectacular...we would return.

Rental was very clean and neat. The space was functional for my friends and I during our stay. The view of the lake is breathtaking. Highly recommend this rental.

Lovely views, plenty of room for our group of eight. We would come back!

Only problem was, we wanted to use a bath tub but one tub had no tap to keep the water and the tap did not work on the other tub. We were unable to use a bath tub.

Easy.

We had a mesmerizing time this week, a time of redefining our family relationships. Three generations stayed the entire week. Our oldest son proposed to his girlfriend under the falls at Watkins Glen, our middle son and his wife are expecting our first grandchild, and we all took walks and talks with each other in varying combinations of small group time. We had big breakfasts each day enjoying the morning sun in the great room, toured around each afternoon, and played board games in the evening. The congratulatory flowers sent by Michele were gorgeous and made our future daughter in law feel so special - thank you!!
