Great Stay in Finger Lakes!

My girlfriend and I had a great two days at this location. The location itself was great and we enjoyed the shared dock with the other listing. Would love to come back and would certainly recommend to someone else!

The property was very clean and was great for a couple. Wish there were a couple of chairs or a table set up outside.

The bungalow was in a perfect location with a beautiful view of the lake. Everything we wanted to do was just a short drive away which made it perfect for a quick getaway weekend. The only knocks I have about the property is the stairs to get to the bungalow are a little steep. The flooring inside also was uneven and the mattress sank in the middle. Otherwise the place was beautiful and would recommend for a quick retreat!

Great Eacape

The property was as expected… the (shared) dock was a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the beauty of Seneca Lake. We were lucky that the “big house” was not occupied, as the lakefront would not have been nearly as nice with others around so close. It was perfect for us to come and go while visiting friends and family, would stay again. Owner and Manager were perfect.

Nice location. Beautiful dock. But there were a number of small issues. Poor bed being the worse.

With the number of nagging issues, we have to give this cute property an average rating.

Response from VrboOwner on 26 Jun 2022

This was a tough renter from the start. Lots of unneccesary complaints and no appreciation. Unfortunately, this was a first for us as we have a great track record of keeping all our guests happy and we welcome their return. These folks, really just one person of the party, were displeased with everything. The smart TV wasnt working in their opinion, but it was. They just were not useto having that at home. They called to complain about the wifi 5 minutes after arriving which led to an entire evening of addressing it immediately with them, and happily. However, the problem was never the wif, it was teaching them how to properly set it up on their iphones and ipads. We even ran data tests for them to confim it was working, and I also made a trip there to test it myself inside the property to show good faith to which the result was, it was working. Again, there was still no satisfaction. While I was there, they told me the screen door was giving them a tug so we had maintence come out within hours and fix that. They did most of their complaints offline and to me directly via text but it would be unfair to not mention that they too disliked the bed. The brand new 2022 bed that was just put in. We strive to make everyone happy and welcome at all of our properties. Sometimes, you just have to take the tough with the good. We welcome our guests back, this one however, I refunded and hope to not see return. Hope others can find a different experience with this party.

Great place to stay

We had a great stay in Geneva. The Wine Down Bungalow is clean, spacious and perfect for a few nights away. We had the dock to ourselves for the solar eclipse. Great space to stare out onto the lake. Our first morning, the shower water did not get hot. The owners were quick to respond and it was fixed immediately. Very responsive and easy to deal with. We’d recommend this place to anyone looking for a cute place to stay about a ten minute drive away from the center of Geneva.

No Water view but access

From the photos that were on the listing do not show you what your actual view is. You are staying at a repurposed garage that is very nice that isn’t the problem. But I thought we would have a lake view. What you actually see is the main house and no view of the water. The listing in my spouse and I is very misleading. I sat sometime on this review before writing It because I hoped my opinion would change. Unfortunately it didn’t. If you want to have a place close to the water this is the spot if you want a water view this is not. Overall had a great stay but the deception of having a view really hurt my opinion of this place.

Thank you for your thought out review. My apologies you were not satisfied with your stay. We make it clear in the listing that this is a cottage/bungalow behind the main larger 4 bedroom home. Pictures are provided as well. In addition, it is mentioned that you have access to the shared dock for as much time as you'd like during your stay to sit and relax on the lake. I'm sorry you assumed all the windows from this cottage rental had a view of the lake. We also list viewing spots nearby too in addition to the on property dock you can walk to with your coffee and or wine and relax from. We like to make all our guests vacation memorable and I'd be happy to host you at one of our other properties in the future. -All the best

About the host

Hosted by Stephenie Seppen

Hello friends, my name is Stephenie and I am the proud owner of the Wine Down Retreat and Bungalow on beautiful Seneca Lake. My family and I are long time residents of upstate NY and love the (FLX) finger lakes region! Spending time relaxing, unwinding, and socializing while enjoying a favorite bottle of wine around good family and friends is one of my greatest joys. When I'm not doing that, usually you can find me busy and involved with my three children and their sports and activities. I really enjoy coaching, physical activity of all kinds, and cooking. On the weekends I enjoy local races of some sort, a fitness class, or enjoying a new restaurant anywhere! My career in real estate allows me to see the offerings a home can be for others and for that, I'm so happy to share some of our home with all of you.

Why they chose this property

Seneca Lake is special to our family and why we chose to purchase here. We have been annual renters ourselves every summer on the lakes since our children were born and looked forward to that vacation year after year. Our decision to make it a permanent purchase was to be able to share our excitement of the FLX region with all of you.

What makes this property unique

The Wine Down Bungalow on Seneca Lake is unique in that it sits apart from the main 4 bedroom home, Wine Down Retreat, as a spacious and separate guesthouse/apartment with many amenities and privacy. This is an exclusive bungalow with its own parking. It is rented separately or can be combined as part of the main home rental for extra family members who may require more privacy while renting the larger home. This bungalow has its own bathroom with shower, kitchen, wifi, secure keypad access, and much more. Come on down to Seneca Lake and let us host you. **Note: the main home (Wine Down Retreat) is a much larger rental for guests too. We allow bungalow guests shared use of the dock only during their stay with those renters.
Looking for more space to bring more people? Check out our two other listings, vrbo.com/1884018 or vrbo.com/2183291. Enjoy!
