Awesome Thanksgiving location!

We have stayed in this beautiful house on Seneca Lake for the past 2 Thanksgivings. It is perfect for our elderly Moms who have difficulty with stairs. There are 2 bedrooms and bathrooms on the main level so once they are in the house, they are all set. The kitchen, living room, and dining room areas have been perfect for hosting our Thanksgiving gatherings and Thanksgiving dinner. Plenty of room downstairs with another full bathroom and half bathroom a few steps away, and the views cannot be beat!

beautiful lakeside home

8 adults stayed here. The kitchen had every appliance. The views are spectacular even with rain. The location was perfect to hike and visit wineries. Of the 2 rooms upstairs only 1 has the bathroom attached to it. And of the 2 rooms downstairs you have to share the bathroom also not attached to either bedroom. You do need to bring bottled water for cooking and drinking. We had 8 people but the table only had 6 chairs. Overall a great stay!!

Beautiful house

This home is absolutely beautiful. Everything is well maintained, and the house is spotless. Todd is a wonderful homeowner who makes you feel welcome right from the very beginning. It is close to a lot of wineries, and close to the town of Geneva. I visited the house to do several events in the town of Geneva in February, and even though it was winter, it was absolutely gorgeous. Waking up in the morning to the view of the lake was amazing. I highly recommend this home.

Very bad and unhealthy

This house was a great disappointment. There was a ceiling that opened with debris falling in the bathroom, lots of mold, not senior friendly as advertised, could not open doors to outside because screens had holes. We also found it strange that there wasn’t any toilet paper, even for one night upon arrival. It did have a great view

Great layout, great views, would love to stay again.

Overall we had a lovely time at this location. The great room is truly great - the open concept connecting the living room, dining table and kitchen meant our whole 10-person group was able to spread out and still be part of the conversation. Having 3 bathrooms is a nice perk as well, especially with large groups. Even with great properties, I always try to think of something that could "make it better next time" - in this case, maintaining some kitchen staples. I've learned from experience with rentals to bring certain items with you: aluminum foil, spare trash bags, etc. And for our stay, at least, this property lacked a few fundamentals such as salt, pepper, measuring items (liquid cups, spoons) and dishwasher detergent, so I'll add those to my travel list. In the grand scheme, relatively minor things to be worried about - this place is still a 5/5, and I'd be happy to visit again (perhaps in warmer weather to really enjoy the dock!).

Beautiful house

Really wonderful and gorgeous house. The views just take your breath away. You can't beat the porch, which is where we spent most of our time. Our family had plenty of room to spread out with enough bathrooms that we weren't bumping into each other. I wouldn't hesitate to rent here again. My criticism includes, on the listing there is a sleeper sofa/futon on the lower level, either we couldnt figure out how to pull it out or we have different definitions of a sleep soda, either way I had a family member that wasn't able to utilize it as advertised in the listing. The other item is there is a list of items to do before leaving , nothing outrageous but since check out time is at 10am with the penalty of an extra charge if late, it left us rushing to get the list done instead of relaxing during our last morning. All in all, a really beautiful house , great location to wineries, Geneva and Watkins Glen .

Great 4 day trip - gorgeous view

Property was clean; kitchen was very serviceable and amenities were as described. The view from the upper deck is amazing! It would be a 5-star except for 2 issues (which are important to consider): 1. The step area/concrete at top are slightly dangerous - the concrete is slanted and stairs are slanted a bit as well. As we have some elderly in the party we chose to not go down to the fire pit as a result. This is really the reason for 4-star instead of 5. With the fire pit at the bottom you have to navigate to use the fire pit. 2. The grill - it's a very sturdy charcoal grill but like you see in parks - a big square with the front completely open. As such you have tremendous heat loss. And no gas grill to compensate. If you cook in kitchen not an issue - but you need to plan your visit accordingly. We would absolutely recommend this property as long as you are OK with the above 2 issues.

2/10 Terrible

nancy g., Endwell, NY

Not all it's cracked up to be. Subpar for the $$$

The only thing this place has going for it is location to several wineries/breweries. We booked this property because of the hot tub. Unfortunately the hot tub was not in working condition, it wouldn't heat up and the jets weren't working. The cover was broke, and the inside was dirty. After calling the owner a maintenance guy game out on Saturday. His comment was...this really needs to be replaced. He did repair it enough to get the water up to temperature but upon entering the hot tub most of the jet pieces were floating on top and not generating any jet flow. The owner needs to have someone checking on his cleaning service. Overhead fans looked like they hadn't been dusted in months. The downstairs bathroom had pealing wallpaper and moldy ceiling. The kitchen table has seating for 6 with 4 extra odd chairs. So don't expect to sit down with more than 6 people for a comfortable dinner. If you are sleeping in the 2 downstairs bedrooms, expect the furnace to keep waking you up, especially the bedroom with the lever doors. I'm really not a picky person but when you are spending that kind of money you expect more. We've rented other winery weekend properties that were above and beyond this place for less money. Unfortunately owner indicated he would be refunding us one nights stay for the issues but we haven't receive a dime.

Not at all what we expected

What a disappointment. I felt like we were duped by photos and descriptions. After not being able to rent a BEAUTIFUL, IMMACULATE house we previously rented on Seneca last year, we were forced to look for a different house. This one peaked our interest because of location and hot tub. Well, where should I start.. Home was extremely outdated, furniture was really worn out, beds were hard and mine squeezed every time I turned over. If you had to sleep in the basement during cool weather forget about it: the furnace was really loud and turned on and off all night long. The bathrooms were dirty, towels were Walmart quality washed 1,000 times, and they only gave you a thin sheet and thin quilt on the beds. Not one extra blanket in the whole place. There was a dirty tissue under my bed, and a few of the lamps didn't work. Oh! The best was the hot tub was not working when we arrived. The owner did get someone to come out the NEXT day, but even the repair guy said it was complete crap. He got it to heat up, but no jets. Plus it was filthy. We complained to the owner and he said we should of called him..really? Since when should you have to call AFTER you've arrived to have the house cleaned?? Last I checked everything should be cleaned before guest arrive. So long story, but NO I would not recommend this place (especially for the $$) unless you have really low expectations of what a rental property should be.

Gorgeous view, spacious deck, a solid 10

This is one of the nicest places we have stayed in the fifteen years we have rented summer homes in the finger lakes. The huge wall of windows gives a great view of Seneca Lake from the living room, dining room and kitchen. The deck is huge and lots of seating/table was provided. The gradual water entry was welcomed for kayaking, playing on floats and use by our dog. The home was very clean. Owner easy to reach with questions. Lots of living and sleeping space. Powerful a/c was appreciated, although some zone differences in temperature were tricky to negotiate. Furniture was in great condition. Kitchen fully equipped. Will stay here again!
