Hostess was very helpful and prompt in responding to emails and texts. The home i loaded with lots of stuff that we didn't have to pack such as plastic-wrap, tea, coffee, dish soap, laundry soap, etc,The house was represented well in the pictures. What you see online is what you get. We did have some issues regulating the heat/cold in the house which may be r/t the time of year we visited as the days were warm, but the nights cooled down quite a bit. Once again, our hostess was very helpful.

We had an absolutely lovely time. Our two families really enjoyed the gigantic patio, and grilling options, and the outdoor TV to enjoy the world cup. Also the backyard was huge, and the view great at night for sunsets and fire. Our favorite winery was Lamoreaux Landing for the wine itself. We also loved hitting up the Great escape for ice cream (8 vegan options) after hiking Watkins Glen, which was amazing. Communication was great. We made full use of the poker table and it was fantastic to have a chill spot in the basement for the kids. Highly recommend.

Perfect girls’ trip

We had an amazing time at the lake property and would definitely consider coming back again! The house was spacious, the kitchen was well-stocked and back deck was even bigger than the pictures. We had 8 adult women staying, and this was a perfect home base for all our adventures. The host was also very communicative - thanks again for all the helpful tips!

Great house with many extras!!

Our stay at this Seneca Lake house was absolutely perfect! The home was immaculate and even better in person, with lots of extra special touches that made it feel so welcoming. The owner was fantastic with communication, providing helpful recommendations that enhanced our trip. The location was ideal—close to many wineries and perfect for our group of four couples. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this rental!

Perfect Family Getaway!

This house and location was great! There was a large comfortable driveway for several cars and the backyard/deck space is awesome for entertaining and enjoying the nature scenes! It was quiet and peaceful. The house is clean and well kept. It was great for an extended family or friend group. Owner is personal or and accessible and very nice! We will come back again for sure!

One of my best VRBO vacations

This was the cleanest and most comfortable place. Pleanty of places to just sit and relax. The porches have plenty of places to sit. Front porch, large back deck, gazebo attached to deck. Fire pit with plenty of clean comfortable chairs. The house is beautiful. Its a very quiet and private property.Cindy gave us lots of information on nearby places to visit. It was a great place.
