We have been coming to the Finger Lakes region for many years. The lake view from the deck was one of the best we have had in the many houses we have rented. Its location made traveling to the different places we wanted to visit very easy.A great place to stay.

The house was clean and comfortable and the kitchen was very well stocked. But the dock and access to the lake along with the view were absolutely amazing! It was exactly what we were looking for

The house is a very nice size for a family vacation with separated living area from the bedrooms. Ample deck space with beautiful views of the lake from the deck and house. Enjoyed using the two kayaks that came with the house as well as other rafts/floats.Quiet neighborhood surrounded by vineyards up the road perfect for walks. Close to restaurants, wineries, hiking and food store. The host is very responsive to messages.

Overall the house was awesome! Just wish the outside was in better shape and cleaned (chairs, tables, etc). Path to the water needed upkeep and lights for walking up at night. Loved the location and amenities.

This house was in a great location and well kept. The host was easy to reach and very responsive to questions. We loved the deck and watching the sunrise across the beautiful lake, which is right within reach. (My only recommendation would be to trim back some of the overgrowth and branches to allow for an even better view!) We appreciated the kayaks and variety of floats that the host offered for our use. The kitchen had all the basics we needed to make our stay comfortable. I'd definitely recommend this property.

We had such a fantastic long weekend. The house was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The outdoor deck and dock provided stunning views of Lake Seneca, and the deck being enclosed made it easy to have our dogs out with us. We had such a lovely time and hope to return!

We had a wonderful time at Seneca Lake with our dogs. The property is absolutely incredible—spacious, beautiful, and perfectly set up to relax and enjoy the lake. Having the dogs with us made it even better, and they loved it just as much as we did. We truly enjoyed our stay and look forward to coming back.
