This house and property are just perfect!! The home is immaculate, very comfortable, beautifully decorated and everything you could ever need is anticipated and provided. The grounds are exceptional with breathtaking landscaping. What a stunning view of Seneca Lake!! We loved sitting on the dock with the dogs and gazing at the lake. The location is central to so many Finger Lakes destinations. You won't find a better stay!!

I There were 4 adults looking to enjoy the area and checking out some of the wineries. The house is beautiful and with a great view of the lake. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend the property. I can imagine how spectacular it would be in the Summer.
