Everything about our stay was absolutely perfect. We swam, we fished, and we soaked in the grand lake views from every room. Getting into town for dining and supplies was easy, and there are many great hikes within about a 30 minute drive. Most importantly, it was evident throughout our stay that the owners genuinely seek the best experience possible for their guests.
This house was just perfect for our weekend wine tasting girls trip. Three moms and three daughters. The moms all had their own bedrooms while the girls enjoyed the big room where they could all sleep together. Perfect location, very close to town where we caught the wine trolly on Saturday and then sailed on the True Love on Sunday.
The house had very comfortable accommodations meeting all of our needs. Tom was extremely helpful and quickly responded to any questions we had about docking/launching our boat! The location was very convenient. We could even walk into town to get ice cream :)
Unbelievable view of Seneca Lake! Sitting on the dock and just watching, chatting and enjoying the sunshine and the ripples on the water!The house was well laid out and immaculate! So glad we picked this home…it was wonderful!
Our girls weekend was wonderful. Great water front location. Lots of room in the house and the most well stocked I have ever visited. Took a wine trolly which was the most fun without responsibility. Also a quick lake trip with Captain Bill. Location was perfect. House being across tracks and down a funky driveway made us a little leery of going out at night, but the motion lights helped tremendously and so it didn’t stop us!! Would love to go back again.
We were looking to get away for a few days to relax by a lake. We have been going to the Finger Lakes for 25yrs and this was one of the best places we have stayed. The house was spacious, well appointed, and had amazing lake views from every room. The dock is great and the fishing was also good. The owner was very welcoming and informative. We would definitely stay here again.
Had a terrific week at this roomy and clean lakeside cottage. Lots of toys (kayaks, paddle boat, etc) to keep the entire family entertained. Also within walking distance or bike ride to great restaurants, boat/jet ski rentals and state park with beautiful waterfalls.
4 girlfriends for a getaway week, we had the best time. The property was fantastic, we were so pleased when we arrived. Every bedroom overlooking the lake! Peaceful, beautiful, relaxing.
This house definitely exceeded my expectations in all aspects
Excellent location, within 10 mins of Watkins glen, multiple wineries.
The view is unbeatable
Would definitely return next time I’m back at the Finger Lakes

This was a beautiful home right on the lake, perfect for our group of friends. Well stocked kitchen and amenities though the home. We loved the outdoor area, getting to use the grill and wood fire pit, and sitting on the dock in the evenings. Highly recommend!

Beautiful lake house with lots of amenities! Great view of the lake from every room and a lovely outdoor area. Really close to Watkins Glenn and so many of the Seneca Lake wineries/breweries/distilleries. Host was very attentive. Great property! ❤️
The property location sitting right on Lake Seneca and close to Watkins Glen was perfect for our family weekend! Views of the lake from all rooms was spectacular. Watkins Glen offered many dining and shopping options, we even walked into town for doughnuts and coffee one morning! Visited the State Park and many wineries in the area! Enjoyed the slow moving train right by the house, waived to the engineer!

Bill,
Thank you for the review. I am so glad you enjoyed your stay with us. We hope to see you again in the future. Julie , Property Manager
We came up for a three day race at Watkins Glen. House was very clean, beds very comfortable, enjoyed the amazing view, water so clear, if it had been a bit warmer might have taken a dip. Parking was a little tricky but we figured it out. Would definitely stay here again...Thank you to owner and management for being so responsive with questions.

We’re glad you enjoyed your stay and returned home safely! Thanks for your review and being a terrific guest. The parking situation here is tricky, especially at night, but you handled it beautifully. Late spring is a great time to be at the lake. The water is crystal clear, the fish are biting, the days are long and the weather can be delightful.
Great spot to enjoy the lake and surrounding area. Owner has outfitted place with great toys to take advantage of including: kayaks, paddle boat, fishing gear, fish light, bug zappers, dock chairs, cornhole, great tv, board games, area info and maps, well equipped kitchen, detailed PDF instructions for various activities, backup generator came in handy during outage. This is also a great spot to see wildlife in and outside the water (mink, woodchuck, land and water birds, loads of fish). Centrally located for Seneca, Keuka, and Cayuga lake activities and adventures by boat, car, bike or on foot.
My girl friends and I stayed here for a weekend and it was absolutely fantastic. The photos don't do the place justice! Amazing lake views! You are literally on the lake and could hear the water lulling you to sleep. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the pier/deck for some much need catching up and R&R. Walkable to Watkins Glen and SO many wineries within a short driving distance. This home is equipped with everything! Unfortunately, due to our short stay we did not get to use them all but lots of options from kayaks to a fire pit.The homeowner and property manager were super communicative and so hospitable. I would totally recommend it to others and would stay here again!
This house is awesome and has amazing views. Tom could not have been nicer!! Very easy to get in touch with and answered all my questions about wineries, hiking trails, stores in town. Would definitely go back!! Tracy K. From West Chester , PA

Glad you had a great 50th! Nothing like being at the lake with friends. We always appreciate it when our guests have a terrific time at the house. Thank you for the nice review!
This was the perfect getaway for my siblings, myself, and our spouses. The pictures on the site do not do the views justice....breathtaking! The sounds of the waves right outside the windows are so smoothing while sleeping in beds that are so very comfortable.
I have rented many houses. Tom's hospitality exceeds them all! From providing fishing and boating tips to going above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay.
We are looking forward to making this an annual trip!
Great location right on Seneca Lake. We were able to dock our boat at Village Marina easy distance to house. Plenty of room for 10-12 guests. Spent our days boating and exploring Seneca and Cayuga Lake and the canal system. Booked a wine tour. Great towns to stop and explore. Owners were great, great communication, very responsive and friendly. Beautiful sunrise too! Parking is tricky but we managed. If you love boating, fishing, hiking this is the spot

This property was just as the listing said. A couple of days before arriving we received a list of what to expect and what we had to do on leaving. Owner was a awesome host. We had no problems and enjoyed the few night's we had before the rain came in, sitting by the fire on the lake. Fished off the dock every morning before we left to head to the winerys. Parking was a little different butwe got use to it pretty easily. Very close to Watkins Glen, Seneca Harbor was in site to the south and the Salt plant to the north. Would definitely stay here agian.

This was our first experience using VRBO and it went very well. We were extremely happy with the accommodations and had a wonderful stay. Julie, the Property Manager, stopped in to check on us after arrival and confirm Internet access. She was very helpful and pleasant, as was the owner, Tom, when I asked questions prior to arrival. I'm pleased that we didn't worry about parking, as a few previous reviewers mentioned. Unless they had more than a handful of vehicles (which shouldn't happen if large groups aren't allowed at the property, anyway)... then it's very straightforward. There's ample space for several vehicles and we have a very large truck. The lake was beautiful and clean, dock was a nice asset, and we enjoyed the kayak and paddleboat. The breeze of the lake was perfect and air-conditioning was not needed in mid-June (even with a high of 80's in the daytime). Inside, the home was well-stocked and we were provided with everything we needed for a very nice weekend.
