Perry Point Cottage on Seneca Lake
Guest: Gloria G.
Date of Stay: 05/11/12
Review Submitted: 05/16/12
We were in the fingerlakes to attend our daughters wedding. I wanted a cottage that would house my extended family. The Perry Point cottage on Seneca Lake was beautiful. The online pictures show the cottage perfectly. The living and dining rooms overlook the lake and it is absolutely gorgeous. The cottage was spotless, there are four good sized bedrooms, 3 1/2 bathrooms and you have all the amenities of home. The deck is the entire width of the house and we sat out there with our coffee in the morning. I would highly recommend this cottage to everyone. The hot tub was an added bonus.

I can't say enough about this place. It's large and very open. The living room features a Cathedral ceiling and opens into the dining room and kitchen. There are four bedrooms, including a wonderful master suite, and 3 1/2 baths. No waiting for a shower. Two of the bedrooms are in the finished basement. Don't let a previous review scare you off. We were also worried about "sleeping in the basement" but it's like a regular floor down there. The bedrooms are nice and clean, and there's a large open area to put air mattresses or just sit on the futon and watch TV. No flat screen TVs, but the 32 inch TV in the living room was sufficient. DirectTV and wireless are a plus. We used them a lot. Penn Yan is about 5 miles away. Plenty of stores there. The deck is on the second level, and it's a two-flight walk down the stairs to the water. Not ideal, but hardly a deal breaker for us. Very quiet area, well maintained. We enjoyed the place very much. My sister-in-law gave it a A+++++ and we plan to be back in 2012.

Second time renting this great house! We had a ball! Centrally located and we were able to visit 18 wineries in 2 days. Everything was perfect. We'll be back again.

I have rented the home on two different occasions. I have had a wonderful experience each time. The view from the house is amazing. You will feel right at home. It is a nice place to have a relaxing vacation. The neighborhood is also very nice. The neighbors even came over and introduced themselves during my first stay.

Girls' Wine Weekend

We rented this beautiful home for a "girls' weekend". The home is in a lovely location that is very quiet and peaceful. So quiet at night that we didn't hear a single noise! The pictures of the house are accurate and it is as described. Very clean and well maintained. We had no problems at all. The hot tub was delightful! The house was very cozy with more than enough room for all. We cooked in at night and had everything we needed; pots, pans, utensils, dishes, etc. Beds were made when we arrived. Soft music playing.....very nice! We surely would rent this house again. The house is centrally located along the Seneca Lake wine trail. We rented a limo from Finger Lakes Limousine & Coach (www.fingerlakeslimo.com) and our driver, Larry, was great. If you rent from them (and I recommend you do) be sure to ask for Larry, he will make your experience alot of fun. We may make this a yearly tradition, and if we do, we would rent this house again and again!

The upstairs of this house is beautiful..downstairs(basement) leaves alot to be desired. Be aware before booking that 2 of the bedrooms are in the basement.

My family and I visited this location this past June. I cannot express how peaceful this place is. You feel like you are in another world. The home was cozy and perfect for three families sharing a vacation. We have made memories that will last a lifetime here. Our kids fishing off the pier, visiting wineries, making smores, and just being together in a perfect family vacation home. I highly recommend this as a spot for others.

Wine Trail Vacation

Review Submitted: 05/01/09
From the moment we arrived we were amazed at how beautiful and well kept this home is. Every year 4 or 5 of us girls rent a few hotel rooms for the Wine and Cheese event but this year we decided to rent a home for more space. The house was immaculate and had all the comforts of home. We would do the wine tour by day and spend the evening on the deck. No one wanted to leave the house to do dinner out as it was just too nice, so we would grill at home. For those who wanted their own space there was plenty of room to wander about in the many rooms on 2 different floors for a bit of down time. The owners of the house are very friendly and helpful. If you are looking for a place to rent on the wine trail or even just for a lovely vacation get away on the lake this is the place for you.

The house was perfect for our group of 11! The 3 1/2 bathrooms were perfect. The kitchen and connected dining room was great and spacious. The downstairs provided an open and inviting get away when needed. Hot tub was relaxing! The wrap around deck and the view with all of the windows was spectacular!! We had everything we needed there for our stay (pots/pans/dishes/silverware...). Would definitely stay again!!

We had a great stay at the home. Great that we could bring our dogs with us. The neighbor is quiet and far from the road so you don't have to hear traffic. Beautiful view and wonderful home. Any problems or questions were taken care of right away. thank you

Even in the winter the beauty of Seneca Lake with it's rolling hills and vineyards all around was enjoyed at this lovely lakehouse. The rising sun over the hills is beautiful - worth getting up early to see! A very spacious, clean house with a nice modern kitchen and lovely decorated bedrooms! And 3 1/2 baths - what a luxury!

We found the property easily. We had to call the company to find out how to get in because we did not have the lock box number. It was generally very nice and what we expected. A couple problems were that the area smelled like skunk, the beach was kind of gross with dead fish, the screen door fell off the front. The check out process did not work. The hot tub was more of a warm tub and no instructions on how to increase the temp. Other than that it was clean and well kept. It was a great location for wine touring as it was centrally located.
