We had a great long weekend at Seneca Spirit. It was a great central location to wineries, cheese, and outdoor activities. Then we could come back and enjoy the fire pit overlooking the lake. Everything we needed was provided and clean for a relaxing weekend. Thanks for a great weekend!

Was a very nice place, but be careful jumping off dock
Property was amazing, location was great, kitchen was great and big enough to fit all 6 of us. Only warning is that the water is really shallow at the dock, my brother in-law jump in and skinned his knee, nothing major but should maybe put a shallow water warning sign on the dock. Would definitely stay here again

Thank you very much for taking the time to rate your experience at our rental. We have notified our property services department about your suggestion on adding a sign cautioning renters to shallow water for safety reasons. We appreciate you letting us know so we can improve the stay of future renters and keep everyone safe. Thank you!
We were visiting Geneva for a wedding and found this place as it was not too far from the venue. The house was in extremely good shape, clean, and the large common area was amazing. The dock across the street was a great spot to unwind at the end of the day, too. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking at a VRBO in the Geneva area. Top notch!

Had such a great time - so quiet and relaxing. Great location - close to Geneva and a bunch of breweries. Walk across the street, drop a tube in the lake, and just float. So nice! Great house. Thank you!!

It's not common for the pictures to not do the actual rental unit justice but that was our experience with Seneca Spirit. The house was very recently updated and equipped with everything you could need! In addition, the house was immaculate! Thank you!

Thank you so much for the review and for recommending our rental. We hope to see you again during your next trip to the Finger Lakes.
We loved staying at this rental. It was in a great location across the street from Lake Seneca with a private dock. Definitely recommend bringing water shoes and something to float on to use the lake. The house was great. The kitchen island was huge. Plenty of room for us with three good sized and comfortable bedrooms and two bathrooms. The yard was small, but we were not there often. There’s a good sized front porch to sit on to see the lake and sunset. There were several great wineries and breweries close by. Would definitely stay here again.

We loved this property! We rented it for a family members wedding at Belhurst Castle, and this was a short 16 minute drive to the venue. The house is very charming and spacious. The only note we have is there is no full length mirror, which wasn’t too big of an issue, but getting ready for the wedding we kinda wished we had one. But I’ll take that as the only issue as it’s so minor! The dock is lovely to have, and we wish we had time to use the fire pit! We would definitely rent here again next trip to the Finger Lakes!

The house is well maintained and very clean. It is listed as a place to sleep 6, which it can do however it would be very tight for 6 people.
We have been traveling to the Finger Lakes Region for 5 summers and this is the first house we have stayed in that did not supply a sufficient amount of household consumables that are needed for a week stay. While we were informed in our welcome email, but had we known ahead of time we would have been better informed. We had to purchase trash bags, dishwasher soap, dish soap, toilet paper and paper towels.
