Wood and Water on Beautiful Seneca Lake
Why the Owner Chose Geneva
We purchased this home from a family who built it together by hand, and we hope to maintain the wonderfully warm and inviting feel. The view of the lake from this home is so inspirational, the waters clean, refreshing and replenishing. Besides relaxing and taking in the beautiful surroundings, there are various water sports to be enjoyed --boating, sailing, canoeing--there are over 37 wonderful wineries peppered around the lake, local dairy farms for cheese and ice cream tasting, local parks and beaches, biking and hiking paths, restaurants, spas, water parks, even Waterloo Outlet Mall is close for rainy days.
We hope to retire in this lakehome on someday. With two small children and a family landscaping business we are limited in the time that we spend at the lake. Therefore, we are renting it to allow others the opportunity to enjoy the peaceful setting on the water--renting also helps pay the taxes and with maintenance costs.
So please enjoy the all wood home and the stars - the quiet and the lake.
The Unique Benefits at this House
With the low ambient light you will see lots of stars. Just walk out the door onto the deck and look up - millions of stars and the sound of waves. In the winter enjoy all the wild waterfowl from all over North America - Seneca Lake does not freeze so enjoy all the waterfowl wintering over - including lots of loons. See Osprey and bald eagles fish and fly. This is a place of peace and quiet - of nature and when inside the wood smell and sight gives a comfort to all.

Wine Weekend at Wood & Water
Guest: Jax

Date of Stay: 11/18/11
Review Submitted: 12/07/11
The ladies in my family take an annual trip to Seneca Lake for the "Deck the Halls" Wine Tour. We have been renting homes for the last few years (opposed to hotels) and this past November (2011) was our first time renting Wood & Water. We arrived Friday night, in the dark... I would suggest looking up the address and printing back-up directions online, as GPS loses the route close to the lake. The house was ready for our arrival with the heat going and all rooms equipped with fresh linen. The interior of the house was unique and beautiful featuring all exposed wood. Each room was spacious and the openness of the common area was very nice, there are also several bathrooms, which is a luxury with a group of 9 women! When we woke up the next morning we realized how much missed arriving in the dark! We looked out the windows to a gorgeous view, directly overlooking the lake. A group of us went to explore the dock and then ventured out for a jog - the neighborhood is very pretty and serene. The only feature of the house that I would be aware of, is that sound carries and the ceilings are open, meaning you can hear what is going on in all rooms, primarily upstairs. This did not bother us at all, but is something to be aware of. Lisa was a joy to work with and was very responsive to all our questions and requests. We will hopefully be back next year to enjoy the home again on our next annual Wine Trip!

A wonderful week with our family and friends at Wood and Water

We walked into a lakehouse that was just what we were looking for. The description and photos were accurate. Secluded and private but close to ammenities. Very clean house and big enough for our children, grandchildren, and friends. The property was awesome with the house deck, beach, dock, outside furniture, firepit on the beach, and fun boats. We got the master bedroom and we loved that we didnt have to share our bathroom (jacuzzi tub). The grandchildren and their parents had the spacious upstairs bedrooms and two other bathrooms. If there was one negative comment; from the lack of floor sound insulation, downstairs we could hear and feel people walking around upstairs. And the upstairs bedrooms had the same problem with lack of wall insulation. Other positives were the shopping, wineries, restaurants, waterparks, etc. were close. We had an outstanding dinner at Geneva-on-the-Lake. Visited many wineries, shopped in Geneva and the Waterloo Outlet Mall. The grandchildren enjoyed a day at Roseland Water Park. We all were sad to have this vacation come to an end and hope we can enjoy this wonderful lakehouse again. A big thank you to Lisa and Kevin for this wonderful opportunity.
