About this property

Seneca Shores: Attention Wine Trail and Lakefront Enthusiasts!

Welcome to Seneca Shores, a stunning lakefront retreat nestled along the shores of Seneca Lake and surrounded by the beauty of the Finger Lakes Wine Trail. With six bedrooms, six and a half bathrooms, and more than 4,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, this home offers the ideal setting for families and groups looking to relax, connect, and make lifelong memories by the water.

As you arrive, a private drive lined with tall pines sets the mood for your lakeside getaway. Step inside and you're greeted by an open, light-filled layout designed for gathering. The modern kitchen is a dream for anyone who loves to cook, featuring black stainless-steel appliances, warm oak cabinetry, and plenty of counter space for prepping and serving. The large dining table and breakfast bar invite everyone to share meals together, while the spacious living area offers cozy seating and panoramic lake views framed by floor-to-ceiling windows. Sliding doors open to a large deck where you can sip your morning coffee or watch the sunset over the water.

Two comfortable bedrooms are located on the main floor, including a primary suite with a king-size bed, private bath, and deck access. A second bedroom with a queen bed and pocket doors offers a quiet retreat for guests who appreciate privacy. Upstairs, you'll find two luxurious lake-view suites, each with king beds, private baths, and balconies overlooking the water. Two additional bedrooms, each with their own TVs, share a spacious bathroom with double sinks. A cozy upstairs family room provides extra space for games or movie nights, perfect for kids or families traveling together.

Downstairs, the fun continues in the game room, where you can play shuffleboard, relax by the fireplace, or enjoy a drink at the bar. Step outside onto the expansive lakeside deck and take in sweeping views of Seneca Lake through glass-paneled railings. The six-person hot tub offers the perfect way to unwind after a day of wine tasting or boating, and the large yard is ideal for lawn games or picnics under the sun.

Follow the gentle slope down to 100 feet of natural, walk-in lakefront with a private dock. Spend the day kayaking, swimming, or fishing, then gather around the lakeside firepit in the evening to watch the stars reflect off the water.

Located right on the Seneca Lake Wine Trail, this home is close to some of the area's best wineries, restaurants, and attractions. Visit Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard, Glenora Wine Cellars, or Torrey Ridge Winery, explore the charming town of Geneva, or take a day trip to Watkins Glen State Park.

Whether you're here for a family reunion, a couples' retreat, or a week of lakeside fun, Seneca Shores is the perfect place to experience the magic of the Finger Lakes—beautiful mornings by the water, laughter-filled evenings on the deck, and everything in between.

Very Enjoyable Weekend Away!

We had a big group of 13 people stay for the weekend. The house is very spacious and was great for a large group, however if you have more than 12 adults someone will need to sleep on the couch (or we brought air mattresses). The hot tub was nice and relaxing and the area down by the dock and fire pit was beautiful. Our only issues were limited communication with the property management when we lost power for 2 hours after a storm. Also the floors in the one upstairs bathroom were dirty and needed to be cleaned/wiped down our first day there. Otherwise it was a very enjoyable trip and we would recommend this house!

GREAT Family house!

We LOVED Seneca Shores!!! We had three generations on our vacation and it was accommodating for us all! We especially liked the three master suites and two/three other rooms for sleeping. The yard is AMAZING!! We played soccer, croquet, all kinds of yard games. The interior is spacious with two large living rooms and another room off the kitchen for reading, etc. The deck is also quite large and we took full advantage of the outdoor dining availability. We'd highly recommend this house for larger families. It's also close to many fine wineries, which we enjoyed immensely. We also like the convenience of grocery and drug stores in Dundee. They were about a 10 minute ride away. This was one of our BEST vacations EVER!

Finger Lakes Wineries with Friends

We had a group of 9 people traveling to the Finger Lakes for wine tasting. This house was perfect for us! It had a great kitchen and deck. It definitely provided enough room for our 3 couples and 3 individuals. The location was pretty central so we could get to Keuka Lake and both sides of Seneca for visiting wineries. Would highly recommend!

We were overwhelmed by how perfect this house was! It had a little something for everyone; basement games, huge patio, private dock, and tons of counter space to prepare food just to name a few. We are already looking into booking another stay next year! 5 stars across the board.
