Great house right on the lake

Great location on the lake. Ideal location close to wineries and mid way between Geneva and Watkins Glen. We stayed for a week in May and were able to see many parks and wineries along 4 different lakes. Beautiful lake view from the kitchen, nice deck for relaxing in the evening. Owner is very responsive to questions, etc. and is nearby in case anything is needed. Nice quiet location for families and couples.

A lovely stay as always

This is our third trip to this property, and I think that speaks volumes. The location is optimal, the water views are beautiful, and the owner is responsive whenever necessary. We have nothing negative to say. We truly love coming here and plan on returning again.

Perfect Long Weekend

The property is exactly as promised and the view is incredible. We sat on the deck and enjoyed the view one night. The property was spotless and they provided linens and towels and everything you would need to run a home. The owner lives nearby and was very responsive to any questions we had. It was easy to get to the nearby wineries and breweries also. Its simply the perfect spot. Highly recommend!

Serenity Indeed

We had a wonderful stay at the Lake House! Celebrated our 23rd wedding anniversary. Everything was super clean and the kitchen was well stocked, everything you need is available. Awesome location, too. We brought our kayaks and mountain bikes. Lots of things to do and places to explore nearby. Jim was very accommodating, thanks so much! We’ll be back for sure.

Finger Lakes Trip

Can’t say enough about our stay (4 adults). House was well equipped with everything we could have wished for, nothing was overlooked. Views of Seneca Lake were incredible! Patio space was ideal. We loved sitting out throughout the day, and evenings! Great gas grill for evening cookouts. Large side yard, where we played bocce. A path led to a wonderful private beach area, which included chairs, fire pit, kayaks and paddle boat. Close to beautiful wineries, and wonderful restaurants. We would highly recommend this property!

Great spot for a Gal Pal Getaway

My two friends and I had a wonderful stay at Jim's welcoming lake-side home. It was so peaceful and serene. We took advantage of every outdoor seating area - the deck and the dock being our mainstays. The big picture window in the kitchen/eating area was prime viewing when several big storms rolled through - front row seats for the rain, thunder, lightening and rainbow shows! Jim was always quick to respond and very helpful. The location was perfect for us; a beautful drive to Watkins Glen one day and to CMAC for a concert the next night. Plus a delicious vist to Spotted Duck for ice cream. If we return to the area, we will definitely stay here again. We'd love to experience it in the winter!

We had a great time at Jim’s place. The beach access was so much fun for our son, and sitting on the back porch overlooking the lake was the perfect way to end each night.

Great Location, Responsive Owner

We enjoyed our week at this property tremendously. The house is perfectly situated on the western bank of Seneca Lake, with beautiful water views. The private beach/dock were fantastic. We're kayakers, so took our boats down to the beach when we got there, and we left them there the entire week. We enjoyed coffee on the dock every morning when the weather permitted. There are several wineries very close by and many others are an easy drive. Truthfully, everything we wanted to do and see was a reasonable drive from this property, so the location was ideal. Also, the owner was very responsive to our questions and responded IMMEDIATELY when we reported a clogged toilet. A few things to point out/tips: - This property is right next to the train tracks. There were trains every day. On two days, there were trains around 7:15am. - The coffee maker is a Keurig, so if you drink coffee, bring your k-cups. - Bring your own firewood (if permitted) or be prepared to buy some locally if you want to use the fire ring on the beach. - We brought our own camp chairs to sit on the dock and drink coffee each morning. (There are 4 plastic adirondack chairs on the beach, but we found the camp chairs to be more practical.) -The hill to the beach was somewhat steep and portions were river stone (i.e., a little slidy). It could pose challenges for anyone with mobility issues. Overall, I would highly recommend this property.

Great location and home

We brought our boat up for the long weekend and we were able to use the dock, fish right off the dock and locally nearby, and really enjoyed the easy access. It was such a great time. Great location to all the wineries, hiking trails, and beautiful, scenic views overlooking Seneca lake. We had a great time and we will definitely be back again. Jim is a wonderful host and really helpful with everything!

Couples Get Away

We really enjoyed our stay. The property is removed from the main road and right on the lake. There is a very minor walk down to lake level. This actually makes it nice because the cottage and deck have a nice overlook, and the beach side fire pit and dock area are more private. The cottage has what you need, with a dining area that overlooks the lake and a good size family room. Its a short drive to wineries, towns, and Watkins Glenn Park (a must see). We would definitely stay here again. Had a great time with another couple that allowed for privacy and areas for being together.
