About this property

Five Gates: Lakeside Paradise! Seneca Lake Luxury Home!

Welcome to Five Gates, your serene escape on the shores of Seneca Lake. This spacious and beautifully designed 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath lakefront home offers the perfect backdrop for your next Finger Lakes getaway, with breathtaking water views, private outdoor living spaces, and modern comforts for families and friends alike.

Step into the great room and take in panoramic views of Seneca Lake through floor-to-ceiling windows. A soaring stone gas fireplace anchors the space, while plush seating and cathedral ceilings create a cozy, open environment to relax — whether you're sipping local wine by the fire, watching a movie on a rainy day, or gathering after a full day on the lake.

Just off the living room, the chef's kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an island breakfast bar perfect for casual meals or catching up while dinner's cooking. A formal dining table makes shared meals feel extra special.

Down the hall, a main-floor primary suite offers a king-size bed, ensuite bathroom with jetted tub and walk-in shower, and private access to the balcony — a peaceful spot for morning coffee with a lake breeze. Upstairs, a cozy loft overlooks the great room and doubles as a quiet reading nook or extra sleeping space with a pull-out sofa.

Four additional bedrooms offer flexible accommodations for groups:
Second-floor primary with ensuite bath + shower
Queen + twin room with a private bath
Queen bunk room perfect for kids or extra guests
Lakeview bedroom with private balcony for added privacy

Outdoors, you'll find one of the best features of Five Gates: the spacious patio with seating, picnic table, and a propane firepit for stargazing and s'mores — no firewood required. A short walk leads down a stone stairway to your private dock and 79 feet of pristine lakefront. Swim, fish, or bring your own boat to explore Seneca Lake at your own pace.

Additional amenities include:
Central AC & heat
Washer & dryer
Wi-Fi & Smart TV
Parking for multiple cars
Easy access to Geneva and the Finger Lakes Wine Trail

Located just minutes from downtown Geneva, this home is perfectly situated for exploring the region. Spend the day at Seneca Lake State Park, hop between local wineries, or enjoy boutique shopping and dining at spots like Port's Café. With Canandaigua, Penn Yan, and Seneca Falls all within 30 minutes, there's always more to explore.

Whether you're planning a family vacation, wine country weekend, or a peaceful retreat by the water, Five Gates offers the perfect mix of comfort, location, and lakefront charm.

Birthday Getaway

We spent a few days at Five Gates to celebrate my 50th birthday. We had a fantastic time eating out, doing wine tastings and enjoying the beautiful views from the deck. 10 of us fit comfortably in this well appointed house.

Spacious Stay in a Great Lakeside Location

This is a beautiful, spacious home right on the shores of Seneca Lake. I would highly recommend it to families looking to relax at the lake, but within a 10 minute drive of the restaurants and shopping in Geneva. The property manager was very responsive when needed and easy to deal with. We grilled and enjoyed beautiful sunsets over the lake. The home was well equipped for cooking and entertaining. All in all, a very nice stay.

Peaceful lakeside views

The house was spacious and as depicted in pictures. The kitchen was very well stocked. A few minor repairs were taken care of promptly by the property management. The deck was our favorite hangout pace to talk and enjoy the lovely lake view.

ANNUAL OCTOBER WEEKEND

We've been doing an annual long October weekend with friends for 5 years now. We started out at another property on the shore of Keuka Lake but came across this property when the former had already been reserved. Ever since, we've return to this property every year and hope to continue our tradition.

A Great Weekend!

We always look to book homes that can accommodate at least 3 couples with an ensuite full bathroom and shower. We've stayed at some very new, very large, beautiful properties on other Finger Lakes but Five Gates is the best of all the luxury homes we've visited. We will book another stay very soon and we look forward to it!

Friends’ Reunion

Our group of 10 college friends gathered at this great house on Seneca Lake. The layout of the house, sleeping accommodations and number of bathrooms worked so well. The sunsets were amazing. The house was very clean and fairly well appointed (the kitchen knives could use sharpening). We had an issue with the coffee maker and the property management company responded the same day by dropping off a new Keurig. It was a wonderful few days in the Finger Lakes.

Beautiful views, great location. Some pros & cons-

Pros: Great location & views. Spacious house. We had 4 couples, there was plenty of room for 8 inside. The kitchen was pretty well stocked with everything we needed. Sitting at the end of the dock was so relaxing and we caught a couple beautiful sunsets. The location is convenient to some wineries we wanted to visit. The fire table on the deck was perfect in the evenings and we used the grill one night for dinner. Some things that need attention: the ice maker doesn’t work in the fridge. If it’s not connected, a heads up to buy ice ahead of time would have helped. The smaller beverage fridge doesn’t work. Also the seating on the patio is very uncomfortable. We wanted to spend most of our time on the deck but the seating was limited. There are really only 2 comfortable chairs for spending any time on. The other issue was the upstairs got quite warm. The people who slept up there said it was too warm for comfort at night. Also no blinds on the upstairs bedroom windows made for very early (like 5:30 am) rising and there was no way to keep the sun out during the day. The down thermostat controlled those rooms but we really couldn’t get it cool enough.

Our week on Seneca Lake 15-22.

The home was laid out well,beds were comfortable, plumbing worked without issue, kitchen well appoointed and stocked with utensils etc. Air conditioning worked very well. Dock worked well as we brought water toys, had no boat but it was fine. Very peaceful on this lake. No boat traffic and noise. Relaxing week. House carpeting was not clean, green moss along water front smelled like sewage despite a heavy rainfall a couple of nights, refrigerator side leaked water from day one, washer dryer worked very well, storage and closets and bathhrooms were in good order. Lots to do on this lake and found some excellent restaurants, wineries, and breweries. Would like to have been warned about the green algae as not sure if it is a health issue. Does it happen every year? Is is all along the East side of the lake? We enjoyed our week.
