We also own properties #4144590 and #3772780. The renovations we did to this home were done very similar to these other two properties.

This is a very spacious 4BR, 3.5 BA home with over 2200 square feet of living space. It’s the perfect lakefront home for families and Wine Trail Enthusiasts.

What makes this house truly unique is the layout. There are spacious great rooms on two floors. The upper floor features a very open floor plan that combines the kitchen, dining, living areas and the outdoor deck. It’s perfect for watching the sunrise, or family dinners. The lower level has more indoor and outdoor areas to relax and have fun.

This house is truly one-of-a-kind:
• It features 180-degree, panoramic lake views. The vaulted great room with tongue & groove pine ceiling, wood burning fireplace & wall to wall windows is extended out to the wrap around deck through sliding glass doors, and provides stunning, unobstructed views of Seneca Lake. The sunrises are spectacular!
• The floor plan is open and perfect for groups of all sizes. The vaulted great room & open floor plan on both levels make spending time with your group easy.
• Lake frontage. This home features a natural shale stone beach stretching over 115' with gradual water depth. The beach is absolutely perfect for wading and swimming & is the ideal waterfront location for toasting marshmallows at night around a fire ring or cooking over an open fire. The dock has mooring whips to safely secure boats up to 22 ft long and 5000 lbs. (All boats must be approved in advance.)
• Centrally located along the Seneca Lake Wine Trail. We are located just south of Dresden Village - approximately 1.5 miles to the south of Anthony Road Winery, Seneca Shore Wine Cellars & Serenity Vineyards. We are also located about 1 mile to the north of Climbing Bines Hop Farm & Craft Brewery.

Additional information:
The kitchen is fully equipped with full size appliances, dishes, silverware & cutlery. We also have a blender, toaster, coffee maker and many other small appliances to make your stay feel like home. For your added convenience we also have a full-sized washer and dryer.
This home features four bedrooms (each with a queen bed and new bedding.) The two bedrooms in the walkout lower level both have a queen AND a twin bed.
Our home also has three FULL bathrooms and one half-bath. This is very rare for homes along Seneca Lake, and further compliments the many great features of the house. We provide fresh towels & bed/bath linens at no extra charge.

One of the greatest features of the house is how the wraparound deck extends our living area, and how it draws our guests outside to enjoy the stunning lake views in the fresh air. Much of the deck is covered by the extended roof line, so you can still enjoy the deck even during a sprinkle or an occasional rain shower. Our guests always tell us how much they enjoy spending time on the wraparound, waterfront deck. We provide a charcoal grill, two full outdoor patio sets, and Adirondack chairs for our guests. The deck is truly a great place to sit back and enjoy a glass of local wine or craft brew - or for sipping a nice bourbon on the rocks :-)
The sunrise over the lake is truly amazing. We are located at one of the widest points of Seneca Lake (about 3 miles wide), and the 180 degree/panoramic views from the deck will take your breath away!

Remember to take our 3D Virtual Tour.
You will absolutely love this house!

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 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!!

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.

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 .

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!

I hope this review is helpful and that the owners consider making it better for future renters

We rented from 8/14-8/21 but won’t rent again for the following reasons: Upon our arrival we found wet laundry in a VERY overloaded dryer (2 sets of sheets, 8 bath towels, several wash cloths and hand towels) all in one load! I rewashed all of it (separated into 3 loads) to make sure it was clean. The first load of 4 bath towels and washcloths took two 50 minute cycles on high heat to dry. I left Todd a message on 8/15 about the laundry issue, dryer not working properly and a broken window near the driveway. He replied within 5 minutes and advised a replacement window was on order and would have their service company call me directly to coordinate a time to check the dryer. By 8/17 there was a bigger issue; mouse droppings on the kitchen counter! I left Todd a message requesting an immediate reply and advised their service company didn’t call me about the dyer (Todd didn’t reply). I left him another message on 8/18 (still no reply from Todd). The “Welcome to the Lake” instructions at the house only had Todd’s number to call; however after arriving home and accessing my email I found additional phone numbers for Tom and Norm (perhaps they could be added to the instructions at the house). I also planned on notifying Todd of the following but he didn’t return my calls: Only a small section of the dock was rebuilt and the rest is in horrible condition! The mooring whips were installed into old split boards; the board closest to the end of the dock was lifted up, twisted and not properly screwed. During a heavy rain storm we were concerned about our boat being damaged and had to purchase additional bumpers to protect it from the dock. The master bedroom mattress has two deep body impressions and needs to be replaced. We couldn’t use the shower/tub in the main bath upstairs because it wouldn’t drain. The morning sun heats up the family room; unfortunately the sliding doors don’t have screens so we either had to turn the A/C way down or leave the doors open and deal with the flies/bees. The handle was missing from the sliding door near the kitchen. Upon retrieving my dog’s toy from under the couch I noticed lots of dust and a few game pieces from previous renters. Walking barefoot will confirm the floors were not clean. The lower level shower stall had black mold on the ceiling. The sliding door lock on the lower level doesn’t work; there’s just a board there for security. The fire pit was by the water and not inviting to use in a corner of tall weeds.

Excellent location June 2021

We really enjoyed our stay. This home is perfectly located 1/2 way between Watkins Glenn and Geneva and within minutes of dozens of wineries. If you chose to stay at this property I recommend renting a boat from Roy's marina to get the full experience of the lake. The home was perfect for 10 adults and dogs. We used goggle maps to find local attractions (wineries, breweries, restaurants, etc) and we really had a blast. The only criticism we could pass would be the exterior of the house and landscaping was less than desirable to say the least. The boat dock is in need of repair and the property landscaping should be improved to enhance the experience of enjoying the the outdoors of this property. We found ourselves either on the large deck or lower patio every night enjoying the view of the lake. I would definitely recommend this home for anyone to stay! Hope you enjoy!

Big Disappointment

Upon our Sunday arrival, we were greeted by overflowing garbage from the last occupants. We notified the property manager, it was picked up on Friday. This property has been severely neglected. The house was not cleaned throughly. The kitchen counters and cabinets were not wiped down. We found pots and pans left dirty with dried food on them and mouse droppings in the cabinets. The kitchen was not as advertised and was ill equipped. The outside property was even more of a disappointment, not to mention dangerous. The upper deck's railing was loose. The steps leading to the beach were old and in disrepair. The dock was equally unsafe if not worse, we couldn't walk to the end of the dock without it shaking uncontrollably with loose, uneven boards and exposed nails. The property's landscaping is overgrown and like the rest of the property has been neglected. There was a rain storm one night which flooded the downstairs bedrooms. We had to scramble to prevent our belongings from being damaged. The property manager was responsive to our concerns, however, I believe this is a case of absentee, or distant property owners who's main concern is collecting rental fees and could care less about the property it-self. Finally, we saved all year for this vacation and this home was NOT as advertised. Huge disappointment!!!

Relaxing week on Seneca Lake

This property is beautiful. It was the perfect get away for our family. The house inside is well taken care of and had plenty of amenities and accessories. The location is prime. You are right in the middle of the lake, very close to wineries, Penn Yan, Geneva and Watkins Glen. We had an issue with a non working oven and the owner had someone over asap to replace it. The only negative I would say is that the outside of the house does not exactly look like the pictures. We had brought a photographer in for a day to take 3 of our kids senior pictures and a new family photo. The hill leading down to the lake is very overgrown and the beach area is also overgrown. We were able to get some great shots from the top deck and the neighbor was kind enough to let us use her yard. I would imagine it's not a top priority because the water is definitely still visible and accessible- it was just not as the picture shows. Overall we had a fabulous trip and would definitely consider renting this home again.

About the host

Hosted by Todd Cerino

Why they chose this property

The Finger Lakes are one of the last 'undiscovered' great vacation destinations that I know of. The wineries and the outdoor activities available are without comparison on the east coast and offer a very unique combination of things to do. We chose to purchase this particular home mainly because of the size and configuration of the lot and the beach (1/2 acre, level yard with easy access to the beach and a great area for swimming), the views and the layout of the house - which is VERY open due to the great room and the wall of windows facing the water. You really feel like the lake is a part of the house because of how the home is sited and because of the wall of windows and the wraparound deck. We simply did not see any other home that was comparable.
