☆☆ BEDROOMS + BATHROOM ☆☆
Each bedroom was designed for rest and recharge, with soft bedding, fresh linens, and plenty of natural light. Sunrise clocks are provided in each bedroom so you have the convenience of wireless phone charging and a built in sound machine. You’ll fall asleep to the sound of the wind in the trees and wake up ready to explore wine country—or simply sip coffee with a view.

☆☆ LOUNGE SPACES ☆☆
The bright living room opens up to the deck and features comfortable seating, curated décor, and large windows that frame breathtaking lake views. Enjoy a movie night on the Smart TV, play a board game, or simply unwind with a glass of Riesling as you take in the view.

☆☆ OUTSIDE SPACE ☆☆
Welcome to your private lakeside oasis. Step out onto the deck—the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee, yoga, sunset cocktails or a soak in the hot tub!
Then, for the adventurous, make your way down the 140-step wooded staircase to your private slice of shoreline. (We call it the "Seneca Stair Master"—beautiful, peaceful, and guaranteed to justify that second glass of wine.)

At the bottom, you’ll find private waterfront access, a newly built dock, fire pit, *paddle board, *kayak, and plenty of Adirondack chairs to soak up the sun or stargaze by the fire. (*paddle board and kayak are available seasonally.)

Please note: The Willow features approximately 50 steps from the parking area to the front door, plus 140 stairs down to the waterfront, and may not be suitable for guests with mobility limitations. The lake level bunk house unoccupied and is not accessible to guests.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
This house/cabin was very clean, up to date and had a lot of amenities, but the many stairs up to the house and many many stairs down to the water was a big surprise to us. There were many positives about the house. The hot tub worked great and there was a beautiful view from the top deck while sitting in it overlooking the water. Nothing was lacking in the house/cabin (cute coffee station, plenty of pillows, sheets, blankets, etc.) and we felt very comfortable in it. Lake Seneca wineries and Lake Keuka wineries were all within a short driving distance. Monica was a great communicator and was very responsive! A few negatives: There were 140 stairs to climb to get down to the water's edge (and thus also the fire pit and dock), and the 30-40 stairs up to the house from the parking area. This was surprising. It did not have a big impact on our weekend (we were there in early April and we were all able to climb them). However, if we had young children or older parents with us, it would have had a large impact on our weekend. We also discovered that there are no walking trails along Lake Seneca's lake's edge that are close by. But all in all, it was a very nice house with a great host, I was just disappointed about the access to it and to the water.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
My husband and I are Northeast natives who spent years living around the country before settling in the Finger Lakes. We fell in love with the area’s beauty and sense of calm and made The Willow part of our lives. We’re hands-on, thoughtful hosts and hope you enjoy the cottage as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood for its elevated hillside setting, which offers some of the best year-round views in the area. It’s peaceful and scenic, yet just minutes from Seneca Lake wineries, charming towns, and great dining. The combination of quiet privacy and easy access to everything the Finger Lakes are known for is what makes this location so special.

What makes this property unique

The Willow is a private lakefront retreat with its own large dock, offering a rare sense of privacy and direct access to the water. Combined with a thoughtfully styled, comfortable interior and close proximity to Seneca Lake wineries, it’s a peaceful setting designed for relaxing, unwinding, and enjoying the Finger Lakes at its best.
