So glad you enjoyed your stay and the records. We keep adding to the collection. There are two fans under the laundry table in the utility room downstairs. We have AC upstairs and the downstairs usually stay cool. Next time reach out but I will make sure to note where to find the fans in the welcome packet for other guests!

Perfect getaway on Seneca!

We just returned from an amazing post-Christmas getaway with another family. The house was just as described - so inviting, tastefully decorated, and well appointed. The beds were so comfortable, too! You can’t beat the view or location, as it’s directly on the lake and less than 5 minutes to about 10 wineries and breweries. Will absolutely be back!

The house was clean, comfortable, and stocked with everything we needed. There was a little hiccup with checking in but the owners were prompt in their response to help us gain access to the house. We loved watching the sunset from the dock, the view was beautiful! We also liked the location, it was close to so much! We enjoyed the hot tub, though we think it lost a lot of water and must have a leak. We will be sure to let the owners know. We look forward to coming back to the area and would recommend a stay at the Lake House!

So glad you enjoyed the sunsets and we really appreciated that you let us know about the hot tub. We have selected a new one for the future visitors but it doesn't come in for a few weeks. We always try to keep the house fully stocked with everything you should need including firewood for a campfire with a lake view. Hope to have you back soon!

It was great. Everything was perfect. Only thought was maybe a small table and chairs in the kitchen by the window for 4 people to play games. Even a foldable card table and chairs or a wing fold down table. We did use the coffee table for games. Thanks for a wonderful venue for our annual girls get away!

Lovely wine weekend stay. We had a groups of 6 girls. The house suited us quite well. The beds and pillows were comfortable. The house was very clean and well appointed. The view was breathtaking. House was conveniently located to many wineries, breweries and restaurants all within a very short drive. We enjoyed breakfast on the outdoor patio dining table and dinner dockside. Both evenings of our stay we enjoyed the hot tub which was very relaxing a great way to end the day! We hope to make this an annual trip and stay at this beautiful property.

So happy that you are thinking of making this an annual trip. We always try to have everything ready for you and especially keep the home clean and always have the firewood stocked for a lake view from the fire or the hot tub. Glad the girls enjoyed all the Fingerlakes have to offer. We always try to have soft, medium and firm pillows on the beds so everyone is happy! Hope you come back.

Beautiful location. One of the most well-appointed kitchens I have ever seen in a rental... you can tell the owners cook! We really appreciated that. We loved the fact that the primary bedroom was on the main level, eliminating the need for some of our family members to navigate stairs. Amazing lake view. The kids loved having access to kayaks and caught some fish, too! Very responsive and kind owners.

Husbands loved sitting on the deck by the lake, and the kids loved playing by the dock and going out in the paddle boat. We would most definitely stay here again in the summer!

Every detail thought of

You can literally walk into this house & live. Well appointed with anything & everything you could need. The house beautifully decorated & still comfortable & homey. We kayaked & canoed & enjoyed sunsets in the rocking chairs on the dock. We had our dog with us, and the property is laid out nicely to keep him contained. Ameann was very responsive to any of our needs. This stay was exactly what our family was looking for.

This house felt like a home away from home. We enjoyed sitting on the rocking chairs on the dock with morning coffees, sunset kayaking, grilling, firepit, home-cooked meals, dips into the lake (it was a brisk! 60 degrees early June), hot tub, ...The house was well stocked with housewares, cooking gadgets and spices as well as the little incidentals needed throughout a day - much appreciated!

Home Away From Hone

Dont look any further than this home. I booked this for my husbands 40th with a couple of our friends. The pictures dont do justice! Breathtaking views and description of the home was on point. We utilized the kitchen for 2 homemade dinners and 3 breakfasts. It was fully stocked with everything we needed and then some. There was so many little touches in each room and made it feel very cozy. Communication was quick and helpful. We will definitely be back to this home again! Thank you so much!
