About this property
Heron House: A Lakeside Playground on the Shores of Seneca Lake
Welcome to The Heron House, your peaceful retreat on the shores of Seneca Lake. Nestled along a quiet road surrounded by scenic views, this beautifully decorated home was designed for comfort, connection, and pure relaxation. Whether you're here for a family getaway, a wine country weekend, or a lake adventure, The Heron House has everything you need for an unforgettable stay.
Inside, you'll find an inviting open layout with large sliding glass doors that frame stunning views of Seneca Lake. The living room is perfect for cozy nights in by the electric fireplace, while the updated kitchen has all the essentials for cooking and entertaining. Enjoy meals together at the dining table or step out to the deck for dinner with a view and a front-row seat to the sunset.
Four comfortable bedrooms make it easy for everyone to unwind after a day by the water. The first-floor bedroom includes a queen bed and TV, while upstairs you'll find the spacious master suite with a king bed, sitting area, and lake views, plus two more bedrooms for family or friends.
Outside, the fun continues. Kids will love the custom wooden pirate ship in the yard—a favorite feature for families! A short walk takes you to the private 110-foot beach with a gradual entry perfect for swimming, fishing, or just dipping your toes in the water. Relax under the shade of the gazebo, cast a line from the dock, or enjoy a glass of local wine as the sun sets over the lake.
Located in the heart of the Seneca Lake Wine Trail, The Heron House is just minutes from downtown Geneva, great restaurants, and world-class wineries. It's the perfect spot to relax, explore, and make lasting Finger Lakes memories.
