About the host
Hosted by Meg Bucello

Hello! Glenn & I have loved coming to the Finger Lakes & wine country since the very early 90's when we were first dating. It has long been our dream to own a home on Seneca lake. Hosting a VRBO and sharing this beautiful home is part of our next journey. We hope you love the views & area it as much as we do!
Why they chose this property
The location of "The Buttonwood" is in the heart of the wineries on the West side of Seneca Lake only 10 minutes from Watkins Glen. Specifically, having 4 acres of trees, nature, and the amazing views of the lake is perfect! We love the private road, dock & stream. The location is perfect distance to Geneva, Glenora (5 minutes)Watkins Glen State Park (10 minutes), the Speedway, Cornell, Corning Glass Factory and the plethora of vineyards & breweries.
What makes this property unique
This house feels welcoming & relaxed! Its homage to nature and the lake is apparent by the view from the large raised deck & floor to ceiling windows! The long time home owner used this home to paint the landscape. You will see why when you come to stay!
