About this property

Anthony's Big House at Seneca Lake, NY

This special home was built during the depression by our grandfather K.G. Anthony. Many of the materials used in the construction were hand-picked by K.G. and his attention to detail is evident throughout the house. The house was designed to be comfortable without A/C, currently 6 of the 7 bedrooms have window A/C units.

The house is in excellent shape. The kitchen is fully equipped with a built-in dishwasher, a pilotless gas stove, a microwave, and a large refrigerator. The living room has oak hardwood floors and pine walls and ceilings which provide the perfect atmosphere for relaxing in front of the fire at the end of the day. All common areas are spacious, making our house ideal for family reunions and multi-family vacations.

Three day rentals are allowed in the spring and fall and 7 day rentals are required during July and August. The rental week extends from 4 pm Saturday to 10 am the following Saturday. Clean sheets are provided at the beginning of the week.

Every year we make improvements and upgrades. In 2025 we purchased a new AC unit for the first hallway bedroom. We added french drains behind the house to keep the basement dry and to avoid smells that some renters noticed. We also added luxury vinyl to the the three bedrooms that had carpeting and to update the master bedroom floor which I installed for my father in the summer of 1980. We have a new master bed frame on order from a local mennonite craftsman.

We hope that you and your family will enjoy this property as much as our family has over the years.
