The property was right on Seneca Lake with easy access to Geneva, multiple wineries, and breweries. The owner was communicative and the house had everything you could possibly imagine. The back deck was perfect for the gorgeous sunrises. We couldn't be happier with our stay.

This house was clean and exactly what we expected! Our host, Laura, was great with communication prior to the vacation. The check in and check out process was easy! Our only regret was that we didn’t book for the entire week!! Looking forward to coming back to stay!

Laura’s place was perfect for a 4 day weekend with my spouse and our good friends. Her lake home was welcoming, clean, and well furnished. The amenities were wonderful and the lake frontage with dock was absolutely gorgeous and perfect for enjoying the lake. I highly recommend staying here as Laura was so easy to communicate and truly cares that her guests have a great stay.

Good rental, location, cleanliness, place was well-stocked. The only thing I would note is that the deck and stairs to the lake level were in need of repair. No other problems.

We had a fantastic vacation at Laura's home on Seneca Lake. The house is just as described in the listing and portrayed in the pictures. The house is very well appointed with everything you could possibly need for a stay at the lake including towels, sheets, toilet paper and assorted kitchen items. Our family really enjoyed having the three kayaks available to use and we loved hanging on the dock. The lake-level shed is outfitted with extra chairs and canopy which came in handy while hanging by the lake. Laura's house is very clean and well-cared for. It didn't feel like staying in a rental but rather someone's home. She was extremely responsive with the few questions we had. This was out first time in the Finger Lakes and the view every day of the lake was amazing. We would definitely stay in this property again.
