This was our second summer at Seneca Sunrise and once again, no complaints. The owners are nice and responsive. My husband had an issue with the boat lift and it was repaired within hours. The house is central to many wineries, and has everything needed to cook a complete dinner for the family. We love the deck for morning coffee and enjoy reading on the swinging bench on the patio below. The guys love the fishing in the area.
We had the best stay at Seneca Sunrise. The adorable cottage is in the perfect location to enjoy wineries, breweries, and the amazing lake. The house was very clean and well stocked. We loved chatting with the neighbors & walking a short distance to Miles Winery. We highly recommend this place. Michelle and Dave were very responsive when we needed to reach out to them. If we come back to Seneca, we will definitely rent the place again!!
My husband and I invited his brother and wife to stay with us for a long weekend. They had never spent any time in the Finger Lakes before. This was the perfect place- Beautifully situated on the water, accessible to both Keuka and Cayuga lakes as well as Watkins Glen and Geneva on Seneca lake. The house was so thoughtfully equipped in every detail- linens provided, standard spices, plastic and foil wrap, even water shoes in a variety of sizes! It was the perfect home to make a positive first impression on our family!! Thank you! We definitely hope to come again!! Bruce and Carole
We had a wonderful weekend at this house. Michelle was super responsive. The house is located close to great breweries, wineries and hikes. Thanks for hosting us!
This is a great house in a great area. Owner is very responsive and house is clean and right on the lake as they advertised. My families enjoy the kayaks provided with house. We hike and Watkins Glen trail is amazing! There are tons of wineries around here. We did several wine tasting and Bought some bottles! The most amazing thing is we not once but TWICE saw osprey plunge into water to catch a fish....WOW what a sight and we were just siting on the balcony! I highly recommend this place. The only draw back is if you love dining out, there are not whole lot gourmet restaurants around here but that is no problem for us.
We truly enjoyed our stay at the lake house. The location was perfect, only 20 minutes to Watkins Glen. The house was very clean and very well stocked. Miles winery was a walk away with the best wine in the Finger Lakes. Our grandkids enjoyed fishing and swimming. The deck view is spectacular.
The host Michelle was available with any questions that we had. We highly recommend this place for your next get away!
This property is beautiful with a perfect location. This home is very comfortable and has tons of amenities. Views are spectacular. Owner is very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend!!
A group of us stayed here for a friends wedding near by, and it was a perfect spot! Great central location, beyond clean and organized! Communication with the Host was great! Definitely recommend staying with this host!
The house was exactly as described. We had a lovely stay. The house is thoughtfully outfitted with tons of extra seating (if needed). The host was very responive and went above and beyond to help us out. This is a great spot for families with kids. In particular we liked that the sunrise side of the lake leaves you with nice shade on warm evenings. There's a winery walking/paddling distance from the house. Would definitely book again. :-)
We had 4 seniors staying at Seneca Sunrise for a short 4 day vacation. No surprises, it was exactly as described and perfect for our stay. It was very clean and the views from the deck are beautiful. Michelle sent all the information and confirmations quickly. We'd stay there again!
Our family had a wonderful experience at Seneca Sunrise! The house was very clean and had all the necessary amenities.
I definitely would recommend this property.
Property was clean and well represented. Nice location and friendly neighbors. Parking is a little challenging for two cars but worked out fine once we got used to the arrangement. I would likely rent again.
Everything about this vacation rental is perfect! The owner has gone above and beyond to anticipate the needs of renters of all ages. We were 2 grandparents, 2 parents and two little ones, ages 1 and 3, and we were delighted by the thoughtful selection of games, baby equipment, outdoor toys, etc. The home was spotlessly clean, which we so appreciated. The location was perfect for visiting wineries, for hiking, for attending a family event in Geneva. Highly recommended,
We absolutely loved our stay! The house is exactly as pictured. Great location right in lake. Very very well stocked home, kitchen etc! Had all that was needed!
Used roys marina to rent a boat for the day and reaghans kayaks for SUP and two person canoes- very convenient delivered right to house! Would highly recommend and can’t wait to return!
PS tobeys donuts are phenomenal!!
As a family, we have stayed at several different rental houses throughout the years. Our stay at Seneca Sunrise was perfect. The owners of the property take very good care of the home and the property. They are very responsive if anything comes up, and had answers to any questions we had. I would highly recommend this property!
Seneca Sunrise was just awesome!! Communications with Michelle were easy with a very fast response. The house had wonderful ventilation courtesy of all the windows and fans and then AC on one hot day. The setting was just wonderful and we had a great conversation with the neighbor! Loved the sunrises. Thank you for a wonderful week!!!!!
Came to lake for fishing tournament and spend time with family. Very clean and nice place with many amenities. Owners very nice and checked in to see all was well. Friendly neighbors, felt at home. Thanks again!
We had a great time with old friends for the weekend. Enjoyed meeting the neighbors. The house was clean and comfortable! Nothing was over looked, very well stocked and beyond our expectations, this home deserves respect . 😊
This is our second summer with a week at Seneca Sunrise and again we were delighted with our stay. The house and property are wonderful. It's a great location and plenty of room for 4 adults and 2 kids (and a couple of bunks to spare).
The kids loved swimming off the dock and using the kayaks. We even caught a few small fish right off the end of the dock. It's also nice area for a walk with Miles' vineyards nearby.
This is by far the best run property we've stayed at on Seneca Lake. Michelle and Dave have really thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and even are prepared if you've forgotten an item or two. It's also such a help that they provide bottled water. Michelle is quick to respond and provides good communication if you should need to reach them.
Thank you for a great stay and we are looking forward to our next trip.
Seneca Sunrise is a perfect lakefront retreat. The house had everything we needed for two couples, and was in the perfect mid-lake location for wine-touring (not to mention walking distance to Miles vineyards). Michelle made the process of check-in/out smooth. Really enjoyed our stay!
We stayed at Seneca Sunrise for the weekend...I wish we had been there longer. Everything was exceptionally clean and organized. Michelle and Dave left the home in pristine condition. The accommodations were comfortable and welcoming. The access to the water and the use of the boat lift made a great weekend perfect. The view was perfect, there were restaurants and bars in close proximity...five minute drive. Wineries all over the place!
I cannot recommend this spot more highly!
Rental, check-in/checkout process easy and straightforward. Great location on lake. Extremely clean home with nice deck. Dock and kayaks to enjoy the water. Great weekend getaway.
This is one of the cleanest places I have stayed! We were here for a quick girls weekend getaway and thoroughly enjoyed our time. There was an issue with the water, but this was addressed immediately by the homeowner. She was very responsive throughout the entire process. We would definitely consider going back and staying at Seneca Sunrise.

About the host
Hosted by Michelle
My husband Dave and I met on Seneca Lake when I was in High School. At the time my grandparents owned the cottage and I was visiting them on summer vacation. Dave's parents had recently purchased the cottage two doors down. When we met I lived in Connecticut and Dave lived in Johnson City New York. We had a long-distance relationship while I went to school in Boston and he was finishing school at Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester NY. After we got married we continued to visit Seneca Lake on weekends in the summer. It was important to us to keep the cottage in our family so we bought it from my family when it became available.
Due to water issues in the dirt basement of the cottage we had to raise it up and build a new foundation. This started several years of renovations that included everything except the original floor boards between the fist and second floor. Our family was very involved in completing most of the renovations. We are very proud of what we built and we are happy to share our little piece of paradise with renters.
We currently live in the Binghamton New York area which is about an hour and forty-five-minute drive to the cottage.
Our family has spent many weeks and weekends enjoying all Seneca Lake has to offer and the cottage is a special place to us. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we have.
Why they chose this property
This cottage was my grandparents since 1970. My husband and I bought it from the family in 2007 when our kids were 8 and 10 years old. We love the lake and all the area has to offer. We hope you do too!
What makes this property unique
Recently renovated, immaculately clean and well organized. Lakefront - only steps from the water. Dock and boat lift. On the Seneca Lake Wine Trail - walking distance to Miles Vineyards. Beautiful views of the sunrise over Seneca Lake.
