Avant Garde Seneca

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Spectacularly situated in the midst of world-class wineries on the western shore of Seneca Lake, this waterfront home brings contemporary style and design to a classic Finger Lakes setting.

This multi-level home is beautifully positioned for every season, whether you're catching the harvest season at the nearby Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard or spending a summer on the lakeshore. The corrugated metal exterior is accented by multiple decks and cable railings that maximize the view; the interior is equally modern with its floor-to-ceiling windows, radiant floor heating, and minimalist-yet-comfortable style. The sleek kitchen features stainless steel appliances and an island with bar seating, while the decks provide additional space to relax and sip wine at sunset. A staircase leads down to a private pebbly beach, so you can dip your toes in the cool water with a view of the hills across the lake.

Each well-appointed bedroom features new bedding (upgraded in 2023) for maximum sleeping comfort. Extra perks include a gas grill for summer barbecues, a washer/dryer to keep your wardrobe refreshed, and free WiFi.

The house was immaculately clean and beautiful views. Loved this stay. Well taken care of and very cool place. Would recommend. The dock needs an owl or some deterrent from the seagulls it is a gorgeous view waiting to be used.

We loved this property. Very modern and comfortable, the most clean property I have ever stayed in. The listing is accurate as far as it goes, but I think it should be made clearer before booking that the road leading to the property is VERY steep and narrow, having 4WD was helpful on the way out. And also the 2nd bedroom is only accessible from the deck, it's not directly connected to the main floor of the house. For people with children, that could be an important thing to know. I only realized those things before booking because I read the reviews, it should be made more clear in the main description. And please add an electric kettle to the kitchen supplies, for tea drinkers! I detest those stove top kettles that whistle, I always burn myself using them. But other than those items, we absolutely loved this place. Completely relaxing, very beautiful, very comfortable, very very clean, overall really wonderful.

Great lake experience!

Really enjoyed our stay as a family of 5. The lake is beautiful and the house feels brand new. We brought our own kayaks and enjoyed time on the lake. Location is great as it's central to many different finger lakes destinations.

Beautiful lake views - clean modern comfortable living spaces. We were two couples traveling together- nice divided spaces with decks for both bedrooms. We went hiking and wine tasting. Gravel driveway is steep. Really enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful home in a gorgeous location

Right on the lake, this house checked every box for us. We loved the wall of windows looking over the lake and also the location was perfect for wineries, Watkins Glen, hiking and many other activities.

Hidden Gem

Although the property is slightly challenging to get to it is totally worth it when you arrive at this well appointed what feels like a high-end treehouse overlooking an absolutely beautiful lake. My wife and I felt completely at home in this cozy, secluded home.

Fall Weekend

We had a lovely time waking up to the sunrise through the trees, touring wineries and hiking at Watkins Glen before coming back to the house and cooking dinner in the well equipped kitchen. The house definitely checked all of our boxes for a weekend getaway in beautiful surroundings.

Weekend Stay

The lake view is amazing. The home was very clean and had all the amenities to be comfortable. Also the directions and information about having a 4 wheel drive was helpful. Definitely would come back in the Spring or Summer months.
