We couldn’t get the code to open/unlock the door, which was frustrating, but calling customer service resolved the issue. The house is very cute, loved looking out at the Lake from any room downstairs. The location is amazing, on the lake, quiet road, near lots of wineries, close to Watkins Glen. The house was very clean. Traveling with a group of 7 friends. The house was comfortable for all of us. Would definitely stay here again.

Kitchen was well equipped. Cutlery very cheap and needs replacing. Waste paper baskets in bedrooms would be nice and so would a full length mirror. Front door terribly warped and very difficult to open.

Gorgeous lake front property! Everything was spotless and ready for us. Well stocked, with coffee pot, dishes, grilling utensils and pots and pans. We really enjoyed the fire pit and the gorgeous sunsets. Great location for visiting wineries on Seneca lakes East side.

Lovely Stay

The house is extremely spacious and the view was everything we wanted. Home was stocked with everything you could need. If you stay here and go for a drive stop at Dave & Rita’s Farm Market the homemade breads were absolutely delicious!! Great stay - would highly recommend!

4/10 Poor

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Listing accuracy
Pictures and description are quite deceiving. The back “beds” area is really an open common space without A/C, only dirty fans. You can’t open the windows easily because they didn’t have screens to keep bugs out. Only the two primary bedrooms have window A/C units. Both bathrooms have awful showers. The downstairs shower sprays water everywhere and the stall is smaller than a normal shower stall so get comfortable with having the shower curtain stick to you. The upstairs shower has a trickle of water and the tub is so old and dingy it needs to be reglazed. The kitchen sink is so old and stained and scratched up it looks gross. The couch cushions have stains. The primary bedroom with king size bed had stained blankets. The coffee maker must be old because it takes 30 minutes to brew a full pot of coffee. Lastly, on our first night, the door code stopped working (likely needs a new battery) and after reaching the management, we found the lock box on the other side of house after climbing through weeds to get the key. Overall this is a very old property that is in desperate need of renovations.

I stayed at this lakeside VRBO with friends on a wine tasting tour of Lake Seneca. The property is nice, with a great view of the lake. Also very conveniently located to many great wineries. This VRBO was well equipped, and had comfortable beds. Our only issue was that we experienced a problem with the keypad lock entry. We had to use the lockbox key in order to access. Overall, we had a good experience there.

Fantastic location both on the lake and surrounding area. Great views. Home is much more out dated than it appears in photos. Very quick response from property manager. Has everything you need inside, but does not have central AC.

Great, quiet place to stay at Seneca Lake.

This is a nice location for a quiet and peaceful trip to the Finger Lakes. It’s close to Watkins Glen and a bunch of wineries. And not far from Ithaca. There is ample space in the house which can accommodate larger groups. Not all bedrooms have AC, but they do provide several fans in those spaces. The kayaks were a great addition to enjoy the lake as well as the dock, which was a nice end of the day or early morning spot.

Perfect location to local wineries, for walking and enjoying the lake. You can not get closer to the lake. Property had plenty of space for 6 adults and 1 child. Only bad part was having to be out by 10am on a Sunday when wineries didnt open until 11

Peaceful, quiet and scenic setting

Enjoyed sitting on the dock sipping wine and enjoying the view. Spacious and comfortable accommodations with a nice view of the lake. Easy and ample parking with close access to the house and a minimal number of steps to the entrance way. Nice hot shower with only adequate water pressure. Reasonable rate for the price offer and location. Within reasonable distance from wineries and other attractions. Ranks high among our stay at other Finger Lakes rental properties.

The house was very comfortable & roomy, & we enjoyed the stay very much. Very quiet neighborhood & pretty view of the lake. The front door sticks badly & the lock needs work, as we had to enter the code 3 times every time to get in. The sheets on the king bed were itchy & the sheets/bedspread on the queen were noisy every time we moved. The fan in the twin bedroom didn't work (no switch or remote & the chain didnt work). Those were the only things thatneeded attention for the next guest.

Thank you for your kind review. We’re happy to hear that you found the home comfortable and roomy, enjoyed the quiet neighborhood, and appreciated the lake view. We also appreciate you pointing out the items that needed attention. Since your stay, the batteries in the electronic front door lock have been replaced to make entering the code smoother and more reliable. We have also scheduled maintenance to inspect and repair the fan in the twin bedroom. Your feedback is very helpful and allows us to address these details for future guests. Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back in the future.

Great property! Has everything you need! Pretty sure even the tap water is filtered. Comes with small starter kit of dish soap,laundry detergent, a sponge, laundry soap and small travel size shampoo/conditioner. It has emergency kit for cuts etc. Gas grill was spotless! So clean! There is so much room! The two main bedrooms are comfy. Especially the king size bed. There are a TON of pillows!! It also has Two refrigerators which is a big plus. The one bad thing is the water to the downstairs shower can get SUPER HOT! So be careful! It's tricky to get the right temp. You have to be careful not to accidentally bump it when washing your hair as it is a small stand up shower. Views are awesome! Has a great waterfront set up.Parking is super easy! Great for loading and unloading the car! You won't be disappointed staying here.
