Come stay at this gorgeous home (new build in 2022) on the east side of Seneca Lake. Enjoy the outdoors with 100 feet of beach frontage and large front yard. Walking into the house there are huge windows showcasing the lake views. The living and kitchen area feature a cozy seating area with a well stocked kitchen. Custom woodworking and features are found throughout the house- from custom oak trim to exposed copper in the showers.
The living room has new furniture (2025). The two downstairs bedrooms share a bathroom. The bath has an easy to access walk in shower. The downstairs master features a king bed and walk in closet. The 2nd bedroom has a Queen and twin bed (sleeping 3). Upstairs, the master suite has incredible lake views with a walk-in shower and walk-in closet. The 4th bedroom has a queen bed, with a twin mattress in the "sleeping nook" (see pictures). This bedroom sleeps 3. The 3rd bathroom, which is upstairs, features a tub/shower.
There is a separate game room that has a game table for board games and cards, a television with a DVD player (and DVD's), and a foosball table.
Yard games including corn hole, croquet, bocce and Can Jam are available for your use.
The house sits on a "bluff" that is about 8' high. There are 20 steps to the beach as well as a slope down to the lake that can be walked. The beach has small stones, and walking into the water requires beach shoes, or old sneakers as it is rocky. You can enter the water off the dock, if you don't like wading. Enjoy campfires on the 100 feet of beach while viewing the stars or watching the birds. On the bluff we have added a gas fire bowl surrounded by Adirondack chairs for another great spot to enjoy the view. There is a permanent dock with a ladder at the end. There is also a floating mat (Lily pad) to enjoy tied to a buoy, once the season gets warmer.
The entry outdoor lights are motion activated, or turn on at dusk, in case your arrival is late. In addition there is one security camera located outside the storage room on the right side of the “game room” building facing the road.
While building this home, we thoroughly enjoyed exploring the area restaurants, breweries, wineries, hiking and water activities. We hope you will as well and include some new activities you find in our guest book!

Thank you so much for your kind review. We are happy you enjoyed staying at our house.
The photos do not do this house/site justice! Completely equipped, beautifully decorated, easy access to beach, spotless. The superlatives are endless! The entire family loved this house/site with hours of play, relaxation, and exploration. We hope to return to this lovely home in the future.
Property was fantastic and exceeded our expectations. Kids had a wonderful time and property was close to our reunion venue. Hosts were superb and accommodating. Hope to stay at this property for our next visit.

The home was extremely well appointed and had amazing views. The owners thought of everything. Beautiful furnishings, comfy beds, tons of resort like amenities. Great vacation!
This property more than delivered on all fronts. It is a beautiful house that was spotless when we arrived. The house is nicely laid out with beautiful lake views from the living area and most of the bedrooms. The house is very well equipped. The owner’s have thought of pretty much everything. Owner communication was excellent and they went above and beyond in addressing any issues. Would not hesitate to rent here again!

Happy to hear you were pleased with your stay. Thank you.
We stayed here for our annual girls trip and thoroughly enjoyed the accommodations. It was very comfortable for five adults. Sunsets were stunning and the location was perfect for venturing out to nearby towns. The property owner was very responsive and helpful.
Excellent stay! Highly recommend. Home is well laid out, stocked with essentials, comfortable, great kitchen, great yard, two fire pits, plenty of space.
10/10 recommend.
A beautiful home, great location, the owners thought of everything! The house is very comfortable, decorated very tastefully, has everything you need and then some. Fun to be on the lake, s’mores at the fire pit, lots of wine tasting. Totally enjoyed our stay.
We so enjoyed this beautiful and well-appointed home on the lake. Everything was as advertised. And communication was superb. Would definitely return again!

This house is exactly what it looks like--it is high quality with updated features, well cared for, and sits on an outstanding lake-front property. You can tell the owners really care about it. We would absolutely return.

We are glad you enjoyed your stay at our house and hope you can visit again.
We had a wonderful stay at Seneca Lake. The house was perfect and my son can’t stop talking about how much he loved sleeping in the “nook”. Amazingly well stocked and it felt like checking into a resort rather than a rental home. We will absolutely be back.

Glad your family enjoyed lake time. Our son came up with the idea of using the "nook" as a sleeping area. He will be happy it is being used!
What a terrific property. It has all the amenities and then some. Plus, very clean. The space is perfect for families. They even have a gate you can slide in the steps to keep little ones from climbing up the stairs! They really have thought of everything. The home is thoughtfully updated with nice finishes and plenty of dishes and cookware. Great access to the lake with a paddle board and two kayaks. We really appreciated the convenience of the gas fire pit. I could say so much more, but you get the idea. It’s a great place. To top it all off, the owners were extremely responsive. Thanks for a great stay!

Very glad you enjoyed your stay and all that the property has to offer!
Our family of 10 adults and a nine month old stayed for the week our daughter was getting married at Ventosa Vineyard up the road. The house was perfect in size, location and amenities! We used the kayaks, paddle board, floating pad, enjoyed fires and s’mores on the beach, plenty of room for lawn games! Truly great!
The Simpsons were the perfect hosts! The house is beautiful, clean, and well stocked with lots of extras. The location was perfect and the amenities were superb. Our family had a lovely stay with my parents and sister’s family for a family reunion celebrating my parent’s 50th Anniversary. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

We are so glad the celebration and family time were a success.
Our group of 8 old friends had a fabulous week at this incredible home on Seneca Lake!! As noted in prior reviews, the house is in a perfect location right on the lake, with great views and spectacular sunsets. The house (especially the kitchen!) is equipped with everything that you need for a wonderful vacation. Kim, the host, has done everything to make sure all of your needs are met - and more! We can't wait to go back again!
For those of us fortunate enough, this place is THE BOMB. Worth every single penny. No detail was left out. Every possible need was met and the place is loaded with good taste and astounding beauty.

About the host
Hosted by Kim
Tom and I have being doing construction projects for 30 years. This is our 3rd build and was most fun because of the help we received from our children and nephews. We are both retired teachers, but continue to keep busy with travel and handyman/building projects in our free time.
Why they chose this property
We wanted to invest in the Finger Lakes region, and love the variety of activities and scenery. We came upon this property and decided to renovate. It has been a great project and we are excited to share it with you.
