VRFLX Seneca View Villa | Walk to Wineries
Welcome to Seneca View Villa, a VRFLX lake-view stay where guests can walk to wineries and breweries along one of the most sought-after stretches of the Seneca Lake Wine Trail.
Perched above Seneca Lake along the Scenic Byway, Seneca View Villa offers panoramic lake and vineyard views, spacious gathering areas, premium amenities, and rare walkable access to some of the Finger Lakes' most beloved wineries and breweries.
Leave the car behind and walk directly to Two Goats Brewing, Atwater Vineyards, and Chateau LaFayette Reneau. Additional Wine Trail favorites, including JR Dill Winery and Grist Iron Brewing, are also nearby and can be reached on foot by many guests.
Inside, the Villa was designed for guests to gather comfortably while still having room to spread out. The home features multiple living areas, a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, high-speed Wi-Fi, and inviting spaces for families, friends, and wine country getaways.
The main living room offers a warm gathering space with lake views, comfortable seating, and a fireplace, while the additional lounge/game room gives guests another place to relax, watch a movie, play games, or enjoy time together after a day exploring the Finger Lakes.
The kitchen is designed for group meals and memorable stays, with modern appliances, generous prep space, an oversized island, coffee options, and everything needed for relaxed breakfasts, wine weekend dinners, or family meals at the house.
Outdoors, guests can enjoy the best of Seneca Lake living with expansive decks, beautiful lake and vineyard views, a private hot tub, plunge pool, fire pit, outdoor seating, and space to unwind after a day on the Wine Trail.
Whether you're planning a family vacation, wine weekend, graduation celebration, girls' getaway, holiday stay, or relaxing retreat with friends, Seneca View Villa provides an exceptional home base for experiencing the best of the Finger Lakes.
Located near Watkins Glen, waterfalls, hiking trails, lakeside dining, breweries, wineries, and many of the region's most popular attractions, the Villa combines privacy, comfort, views, and walkability in a way few Finger Lakes vacation rentals can offer.

Thanks Lauren! Your family treated our house very well- and we are so appreciative of amazing guests like you. We are so happy you had a great time and would happily have you back anytime!
Loved this property. Perfectly met our needs of wanting a relaxing vacation with mixed in hiking and wine/brewery/distillery tours. Great views of the lake off the back deck and possibly best of all, an easy walk to Two Goats Brewery next door.

Thanks Tim! The convenience to a brewery in your backyard is pretty sweet! Thank you for leaving the house in such great condition. Take care!
Hosts were great. Home was incredibly clean and well stocked with cleaning supplies, garbage bags and toilet paper / paper towels. Excellent location, close to so many fun places. Slept 4 adults and 6 kids without issue. Wish we could’ve used the outdoor areas but the extreme cold weather wouldn’t allow it. We would definitely stay here again!

Thanks Jeannine. Glad you had a nice time on the trail- so many places to visit! Happy to hear you also enjoyed the kitchen- it is set up to provide plenty of room to cook, chat and congregate!
The house was wonderfully welcoming! Comfortable bedrooms, nice open kitchen/dining room, fun game room - this house had it all for a nice, relaxing family vacation. The views of the lake were amazing and so peaceful. We also had a great time exploring the local community.

Thanks Shawnie- we appreciate your kind words. Happy to hear you were welcomed by the house and had a great time during your stay. The area has quite a bit to offer so be sure to return for another visit!
This place was perfect for our Annual Brewery Tour trip! The location is great and it fit our group of eight adults well. One couple slept in the bunk room but the bed was big enough for them to share. The house is beautiful and has a great view. We really enjoyed our stay!

Taylor- glad you and your group had an awesome time! The area has so much to offer year round and like you said- views alone are always beautiful! Take care!
Perfect getaway for our group! 6 adults and 6 kids plus the dogs and we all had a wonderful time! A little close to the main road which was unexpected but turned out to be fine. Beautiful property and gorgeous home!
This place was beautiful. Very spacious and clean! The view was amazing every night! The fire pit was a great place to sit and relax at night while listening to the live music playing from the brewery. We all can’t wait to stay again.

Thanks for the compliments Laura! Yes while we don’t promise direct lake access, we can promise we strive to give our guests everything we would want from a home away from home: a clean, well stocked home with a hot tub / seasonal pool!
Stunning property near multiple wineries and breweries, right on the lake! Annie and Gary were super easy to communicate with. Will definitely be back in the future!

Thanks Libby. Glad you all had a great time and enjoyed with the house! Please keep in touch should you plan a trip to return!
This home was perfect for our group, which consisted of 3 couples visiting the Finger Lakes Region for the first time. House was well appointed and well stocked, and the hot tub was just an extra bonus. The brewery down the hill is very quiet and does not disturb the occupants of the house. House is very close to Watkins Glenn, dining, vineyards, etc. Great place.

About the host
Hosted by VRFLX
We’re a husband-and-wife team who fell in love with the Finger Lakes long before we ever imagined hosting guests here. After years of spending summers on Seneca Lake and returning to the area whenever we could, we purchased our first vacation rental in 2014 and eventually made the Finger Lakes our full-time home in 2019.
What began as a single vacation home has grown into VRFLX, a small collection of guest-focused properties designed to help visitors experience the very best of the region we love. Along the way, we traded corporate careers for hospitality, allowing us to focus full-time on creating memorable stays and continually improving each home.
Today, we're raising our two kids (and one very spoiled dog) in the Finger Lakes and are grateful to share this special place with guests from across the country. Whether you're visiting for the wineries, breweries, lakes, waterfalls, or simply time with family and friends, we hope you'll feel as connected to this region as we do!
