Welcome to Seneca Lake Serenity, managed by Vacasa. This house is located in Hector but your 24/7 support is always nearby.
This house features 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, and 1 private upstairs loft with space enough for 4.
Please review our property photos and our available amenities to make sure this rental is a perfect fit for your needs. We strive to keep this information as up-to-date as possible so you can feel confident in knowing what you are renting.
We will send you all necessary pre-arrival and check-in information after booking. This can include guest instructions, notices, and other helpful information.
What We Love
Nestled in a quiet area close to Lake Seneca access, make this newly built cabin your Hector home away from home. Boatowners will love the fact that water access in Watkins Glen is only a short drive away, with ramps for smaller boats available even closer at Smith Memorial Park (2.4 miles). Numerous nearby trails offer fun options on dry land while the plentiful breweries and wineries make perfect pit stops on the way back.
Inside your cozy cabin, you'll be greeted by warm lighting and an inviting space. Unwind watching your favorite streaming service on the wall-mounted smart TV. The furnished deck provides additional lounging options while letting your guests feel the crisp New York breeze on their faces. Prepare meals in the full kitchen or use the grill outside to sear them to perfection. A washer/dryer and free WiFi round out your amenities. Property has shared firepit.
