À propos de cet hébergement

Maison au bord du lac avec vue sur le coucher du soleil, 4 kayaks et pédalo

Notre maison est en plein cœur du pays du vin et surplombe le lac du côté est, donc les vues sont incroyables et les couchers de soleil sont souvent remplis de couleurs spectaculaires. Situé entre des chalets d'été et des maisons dans un quartier rustique / de style champêtre, notre propriété a 70 pieds de façade sur le lac spacieux et un quai de 10 pieds de large. Selon la météo et le jour de la semaine, l'atmosphère sur ce lac non encombré varie de calme et paisible à joyeuse et amusante.

Notre maison est entièrement meublée et dispose d'un salon de style Arts & Crafts. La chambre principale, le salon et surtout la salle à manger (avec ses huit fenêtres) ont une large vue sur le lac / couchers de soleil. Les espaces communautaires sont également grands (salon: 17 'x 22', cuisine et salle à manger: 22 'x 22'). Jusqu'à six personnes peuvent dormir confortablement dans les trois chambres avec deux lits queen et deux lits jumeaux. La cuisine est entièrement équipée et la maison dispose de la climatisation. Il y a suffisamment de stationnement pour deux ou trois véhicules.


Description supplémentaire:

Juste à l'extérieur de la maison se trouve une cour intime avec un barbecue à gaz et un ensemble de terrasse avec des sièges rembourrés et un parapluie. Au bord du lac, il y a un anneau de feu de joie et une table de pique-nique avec un parapluie. Vous pouvez emprunter les 4 kayaks, le pédalo et le bateau à rames du propriétaire, ainsi qu'utiliser les chaises de camping qui sont conservées dans le hangar à bateaux. Il y a quelque chose pour tout le monde, y compris la natation, la navigation de plaisance, le kayak, de longues promenades le long d'un chemin de terre à travers les vignobles, la pêche et les soirées romantiques en regardant le coucher du soleil et en buvant du vin local.

Agréments:

- une cuisine entièrement équipée avec four micro-ondes, lave-vaisselle, cafetière, ustensiles de cuisine et ustensiles de cuisine

- l'accès à la façade du lac depuis la cour se fait par un escalier robuste ou par une courte route qui fait le tour du quartier (environ 1/4 de mille jusqu'à notre façade). L'escalier a environ 75 marches. La course pour les marches est de 11 pouces, ce qui est bien, et il y a trois ponts avec des bancs, au cas où quelqu'un aurait besoin de se reposer ou voudrait voir la vue. Il est également très pratique de pouvoir conduire si vous transportez des glacières, des serviettes, etc., ou si vous emmenez des petits enfants en même temps. La route est à usage limité, en particulier le week-end bondé, mais elle est là en cas de besoin.

Wonderful stay on the lake for my husband and I, our two teenager daughters, and our dogs. It is everything you would want in a lakefront property- well stocked kitchen, great dog friendly yard with lake views, grill, fire pit. Pictures could not possibly do it justice- it so quaint with many beautiful craftsman style features. Lovely place to enjoy the Finger Lakes! Would love to come again.

Cottage was exactly as described on VRBO. Had everything we needed for our week. Loved being able to sit and watch the sunsets, kayaking the beautiful lake and many great locations to hike. We enjoyed seeing all the beautiful water falls. Finger Lakes is a beautiful area to visit. Looking forward to another visit soon.

Dog friendly, paradise on the Lake

Mike and Mary are amazing hosts and graciously share this beautiful lake property and welcome your dog too! Very clear directions and check-in process. Kitchen is well stocked and there is a large table to seat many guests. The house is beautiful, clean and well maintained. The dock and lake frontage are your own piece of paradise for a week - amazing! We also have access to their kayaks. Fishing is fun too! The yard is fenced in so your dog can be off leash w/o worry. Our family has been coming here for 3 years and love this location. Parking is easy and right next to the house. Direct access to the lake by the stairs. If you have anyone with mobility issues, there is an access road you can drive down to drop people off. This is such a great location, close to wineries, convenience stores but also away from everything if you just want to be at the lake all week. Mike and Mary are easy to contact if you have any questions. Truly a beautiful property and location. Thank you for all of our Summer memories on Seneca Lake!

Perfect Weekend Getaway Spot

This place is truly a hidden gem and I feel so incredibly lucky to have stayed here. Mary made the check-in process so easy and clear and provided instructions to the house as it is down a quiet stone road. Tip: factor in 5-8 minutes to turn off the main road to the road that the house is on as the speed limit will add some time to your route. The ride is a beautiful view of vineyards and quaint cottages. The house has everything we needed to have a lovely outside dinner (thank you for letting us use the Weber!). We sat by the fire one night and enjoyed the absolute peacefulness of this place. We took our morning coffee down the steps to the dock and took in the lake and then spent the rest of the afternoon kayaking, swimming, lounging, and creating life-long memories. We went to the Stonecat Cafe for dinner one night and it was so fabulous. One of my friends is a vegan, however us other 4 are not; regardless the food was awesome and we all enjoyed. Great vibes, as well. Perfect recommendation from the pre-check in book! This spot is about a 20 minute drive to Watkin's Glen, which we explored one morning - also a beautiful drive. Mary - thank you for providing your place to gather, laugh, relax, and connect with friends. We will never forget our stay!

AMAZING vacation home

We stayed here about 11 years ago, but had unfortunate, emergency family circumstances that led us to leave early. Until this year, we were unable to rent again because I waited to long to book. This time, however, we had a lovely stay without family drama. The home is large, allowing people to spread out if needed. Our dogs loved the fenced in yard. There is a ledge that our youngest dog slipped down, but he easily recovered, then bounded back up. Due to our youngest dog's sight impairment and back-end weakness, we did not take the steps to the lakefront, but we drove our car down three times during the week so they could swim and we could relax. The water is super-clean (a tiny bit of "seaweed," and some algae deeper in, but it was not problematic at all). We enjoyed a fire in the firepit one night. The kitchen is stocked with everything you can think of -- spices, coffee filters, etc. There are cleaning supplies to help clean-up be easy. Bed sheets and towels were supplied, which was wonderful. Having a washer/dryer was a bonus. The Wi-Fi has the strongest signal in the master bedroom, so we watched TV there (didn't try in the living room). All-in-all, Lucky Dog Lodge was terrific. Mary was super-easy to work with and answered any questions we had. We will definitely return (sooner this time, when I book early enough).

Lake life perfection

This is the 4th summer my family has stayed at this property. We just LOVE it! The house is amazing and always well cared for, organized with clear guidance and instructions. The kitchen is stocked with ample pots, pans, and dishes. The dining table is large with a beautiful view of the lake. There is a washer and dryer, fenced in yard for your dog, a fire pit and grill. It's really nice! They also added string lights to the stair railing which not only looks pretty from the lake, but is really nice for the evening walks back up to the house. The stairs to the lake are very manageable and very safe and sturdy. If for some reason you have a person with limited mobility, there is the ability to drive them to the lake level. Remember to bring your vehicle back up to park it though, many of the neighbors live here and need the road way clear for their access. This is truly a slice of heaven, in nature, through the vineyards and you have your own lake front and dock. There are kayaks and a paddle boat too...truly wonderful. And if you are lucky, you will even see the Bald Eagle that lives just North of this house. We look forward to seeing him every year. The waterfall near the house is so pretty. Mary and Mike are gracious and wonderful hosts. Easy to communicate with and very helpful. This is truly a top notch house and lake property. We love Seneca Lake and this location. It's our happy place! My family and I love it!

Sadly I can’t recommend

Initially communication from owner was very good. We arrived to a spider infested home. We ended up finding 30+ spiders with webs inside every room, on walls, ceilings, inside kitchen cabinets and under furniture. The coffee pot was dirty and there was a paper cup half full left in microwave. I immediately notified owner via email and she admitted the place needed a ‘deep cleaning’. All area rugs were dirty. I was surprised to read the check out process in guest book that stated the RENTER is responsible for 50% of cleaning including cleaning of bathroom and vacuuming and swiffer floors. I paid a $200 cleaning fee for what exactly? I also would’ve appreciated knowing prior to arrival that water from taps comes from the lake, and drink at own risk. The home itself is darling and has so much potential. We really liked the location and enjoyed the picturesque setting. The 76 stairs to lakefront didn’t bother us, it was good exercise. The four of us found beds uncomfortable. Lastly I hate to be the outlier with mostly great reviews but these are things I would want to know if considering choosing this home to rent. I’ve stayed at 10+ rentals and this is only one I can’t recommend.

I’m sorry you were disappointed in the cleanliness of our lake property. We’ve made sure to promptly resolve the issues you have raised. Usually, our cleaner does such a good job, and we’ve received many positive comments about the cleanliness of our lake house. However, it’s apparent that she was not as thorough as usual, or maybe she didn’t ask us to help when she had too much work to do. So, we’ve reviewed with our cleaner that she needs to de-cobweb and vacuum spiders between every rental group. We’ve already gotten her to dust and de-cobweb very thoroughly, and now she needs to keep that up each week. In our lake house, de-cobbing is needed once a week, because in the country there are spiders that literally start to come back within a few days. Also, we hesitate to spray insect repellent around the house when we have so many guest dogs there. In the next month or two, we’re going to literally help our cleaner with her tasks, so we can make sure the house gets back up to our standard. We’re going to point out that certain duties need to be done each week from now on. We’ll be checking on her work for a while. I will also be asking guests in the next month or two, whether the house has been cleaned and prepped properly prior to their arrival. Our cleaner has been so valuable in past years, and we want to work with her and help her to get back up to the level she used to work at. Overall, she’s been a really good cleaner, and we have been so fortunate to have her help. We’ve also gotten our cleaner to shampoo the carpet that’s in one of the bedrooms, and the area rugs in the kitchen. Next, she’s going to shampoo the rugs in the bedrooms and living room. We also got her to thoroughly dust, Swiffer, and mop the entire house. She also checked the pots and pans to make sure previous guests have been leaving them reasonably clean. The pots and pans are not always left perfectly clean by guests, but we’re trying to check them occasionally so they won’t get progressively worse throughout the rental season. We have not been receiving comments about the beds being uncomfortable. We’ve actually had many guests say in their reviews that the beds are very cozy and comfortable. However, I plan to ask guests about this over the next few weeks too, just in case our impression is not accurate. We charge a $90 fee for “our half of the cleaning”, but the amount of work we do is actually a lot more than half, especially since we are one of the few owners that washes linens and make beds prior to your arrival. We only require our guests to “wipe down” any messes in the bathroom, but we thoroughly clean it after you leave. Everything is easier and faster to clean if it’s not left in a complete mess. We only require our guests to vacuum/Swiffer if their dogs shed a lot, if their dogs have brought in some dirt, or if guests have made a significant mess of some kind. We don’t charge a $200 fee for cleaning, so I don’t know where you got that impression. Many other owners do charge a lot more than $90 for cleaning though. We charge half as much as most people, because we specifically want our guests to clean up a little bit if they have a group that is particularly messy in some way. Children, dogs, and drunk members of your group can sometimes cause significant messes, and it can also happen with many people in general. For example, if you spill spaghetti sauce, please get it up. That’s the type of thing that will slow down our cleaner, and furthermore, it would actually be disrespectful to her and us if you left that sort of a mess behind.

Great location, comfortable stay

My husband and I stayed here for our annual trip to the Finger Lakes over Labor Day weekend. We stayed in the same neighborhood last year, so we largely knew what to expect in the area - the location is absolutely perfect and quiet, even on a busy holiday weekend. The house is exactly as pictured, but the photos don't really do their beautifully renovated living room justice. The kitchen and bathtub/shower are older, but still in good working order (although the stove has two burners not working, which was a bigger pain than we thought it would be!). We had to refill the propane for the grill during our stay, but it wasn't a big deal and I anticipate getting a refund when they send our security deposit back. We also had trouble getting the grill lit (it has to be done manually), but Mike came over and helped us. There are 85 stairs down to the waterfront, but we didn't find them to be an issue and the staircase is in very good shape. The waterfront area is a bit more grown in than the photos show, which isn't an issue, but does make navigating the stairs a bit tricky. We were disappointed that the adirondack chairs shown in the photo aren't still there - there is two rather uncomfortable wood chairs on the dock now (I'm glad we brought our foldable hammock, but there are also pop up chairs you can use). In addition, the boat shown anchored off shore is no longer there - there's a new dock that the boat is docked at. Unfortunately, the keg that the boat used to be anchored to is still floating in the water, which means every single sunset photo I took has a keg in it - a first world problem. Regardless, we still enjoyed every evening down by the water and had fun making a camp fire (make sure to bring your own wood). You do share the lakefront area with their cabin next door - the people staying next door basically kicked us off the dock that should have been "ours" one evening, but it was fine and not worth arguing about. The listing says that there is a kayak and rowboat for use - we never found the kayak (we had rented our own, so it wasn't an issue) or the rowboat paddles. Kayaking on the lake is great - watch for bald eagles! Overall, it was a great, comfortable stay in a dynamite location. Some of our local favorites: dinner at Stonecat Cafe, beer from Grist Iron Brewing and Roosterfish in Watkins Glen, BBQ from Nickel's Pit in Watkins Glen and hiking at Treman and Taughannock State Parks (much less crowded than Watkins Glen Park).

We appreciate and love to hear all of the nice comments, detailed feedback, and especially the constructive criticisms of this guest, who is a travel blogger, and we feel honored to get a four-star rating from someone like her. I would like to clarify and/or respond to a few things that were mentioned in her review though. 1. The stove does have two burners that don't work right now. It couldn't bet fixed so we bought a new one, but didn't get it installed before the fully booked part of the year. We'll get that done this Fall though. We've taken our griddle out of the cabinet, and hope that helps with making big breakfasts. There are also crockpots and baking dishes that help a lot. The grill helps too. We explain our policy about having the propane tanks for the grill filled and getting reimbursed in a pre-arrival informational email. 2. I never thought about how our keg-mooring would make pictures not be as nice, but I guess it does make sense. We've always liked it. By the way, we've bought a floating deck (swim platform), and we plan to fix it up this Fall and then attach it to the keg-mooring out in the water next year. We feel that our future guests will be able to have a lot of fun if they want to swim out to it, dive into the deeper water out there, or just sit on it for a while and relax away from shore. 3. This property has 70 feet of its own lake frontage. There is a completely separate area with 45 feet of lake frontage for our other cottage next door, but sometimes they're confused about which area they're supposed to use. I've left notes in the other cottage with pictures to show them where their frontage is. Maybe I need a bigger note. We also have plans to put up some signs on the lake frontage to make sure that people aren't confused about it anymore. The two properties do not share lake frontage though. They each have their own area with their own bonfire ring, picnic table, and a short dock. In the future, the swim platform will be shared between both sets of guests and us, but not the frontage. 4. The kayak is been down on the lake frontage, but it's put away in the boat house, so I guess she didn't see it. The rowboat ores and kayak paddles are in the boat shed. 5. Our staircase has 75 steps, not 85. Up at the house, there are 10 more steps, but they aren't part of the staircase. We're glad that we get detailed feedback occasionally that helps us to make our property better. Thanks so much!

Was a great little escape!

We had such a great time at this Vrbo - the check-in and out was so easy, and the house itself was in an amazing location with access directly to the lake.
