Fantastic location

Beautiful property with a gorgeous view of Seneca lake. Great location for the wine trail event! Very well stocked and incredibly clean. The only issue was an incorrect description of the bedrooms. The 4th is actually a sleeper sofa but the VRBO description says queen bed and sofa sleeper. However, we made it work for our group. Looking forward to booking in the warmer kings.

Couples Getaway

The location of the property was ideal for a fall getaway. Close to Geneva, a quaint town, close to many wineries and breweries and local state parks. The property was ideal for 3 couples. The house was comfortable and had many amenities. The kitchen could use an update but was adequate for our purposes. Communication with the owner was fabulous and his responses were quick and informative.

What a wonderful place to stay!!

We had a great stay in the chalet. It was very clean and had everything you would need. We didn't do any cooking during our stay but noticed it was well stocked. The hosts left a welcome gift which was very thoughtful and was a special touch! They also were very responsive to any messages. We enjoyed the deck with the beautiful views. Would highly recommend this property. Thanks for having us!!!

The views!!

Absolutely perfect. The house was clean and stocked with all the essentials, the beds were comfortable, the shower water pressure was great, and the view from the deck was amazing. We were three couples that spent the long weekend on some hikes, wineries, breweries, and soaking in all the beautiful scenery. Easy access to both Geneva and Watkins Glen. Would definitely stay here again.

Great location close to good food and a lot of wineries. Had a question on first day and received immediate response from owner. Would highly recommend this property. Thank you for a great stay.

Great location and easy access to West side of Seneca and Keuka lake

Central location for 6 adults to enjoy the western end of the Finger Lakes. Easy access to wineries and restaurants. We used the house as a home base. We went out to eat, so we didn't use the well stocked kitchen. Nice views of the lake. Unfortunately the weather was cool and rainy so we didn't get to take advantage of the outside deck or firepit. Maybe next time!

Great Vacation house

The house was centrally located on the left side of the lake. We had enough room for the whole group. The hosts greeted us with a welcome sign ,flowers and a bottle of wine. 1st time someone went out of their way to do that for us. Even though we thought we would use it. They had a grill. We did use the fire pit. Great plus. The only negative. I would say. Get rid of the sofa bed in the basement and put in a day bed or trundle. Something more comfortable for the last of the guests. We would love to come back again soon.

Relax in the Finger Lakes

You can't beat the location of this house! Whether you want to explore Seneca, Keuka, or points further, everything will be easy to get to. The view of Seneca Lake from the deck is lovely, especially in the afternoon when the deck is shaded and the breeze is coming in. There's plenty of seating outside and inside, and our group of four adults was very comfortable. The bedrooms had comfortable beds and the central air did a good job of keeping us cool. The upstairs bedroom only has sheer curtains, so it's a little bright in the morning. The front of the house with its A-frame wall of glass provides so much light and great views, and is very bright in the morning since it's east-facing. The hosts provided everything we needed for our stay, including a welcome bottle of wine. They have a useful list of recommendations written on one wall in a clever chalkboard style. Note: in case this matters to you, there are no window coverings in the living-dining area, including the A-frame window wall.

Incredible view of Seneca Lake, very clean, great location

Jim and Debbie were fantastic hosts. Very quick response to questions. House is very clean and well appointed. Big Deck with lots of seating. Plenty of cookware and dishes. We were 3 couples and we had plenty of space and privacy. At the top of the lake, west side. Right off of the main north south road with plenty of wineries and breweries. There's even a brewery next door with good beer.

Long Weekend

Great location and wonderful view of the lake. I gave it a 4 star rating because I did not use the master bedroom or the lower level so cannot comment on those. The main floor was very comfortable. Wall oven - which I loved, plenty of towels and the bedrooms were well done. The deck is large and has comfortable seating. There were some confusing things in the online listing - one place said laundry facilities and another said coin laundry.
