We had such a fantastic long weekend. The house was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The outdoor deck and dock provided stunning views of Lake Seneca, and the deck being enclosed made it easy to have our dogs out with us. We had such a lovely time and hope to return!

We had a wonderful time at Seneca Lake with our dogs. The property is absolutely incredible—spacious, beautiful, and perfectly set up to relax and enjoy the lake. Having the dogs with us made it even better, and they loved it just as much as we did. We truly enjoyed our stay and look forward to coming back.

The host was amazing in answering questions. 3 rooms each with individual air units as well as one in the main living room. Furniture was basic and there were no lampsIn the living room which would have been nice since we are not fans of canned lights. The multi-layered outdoor deck was our favorite place to hang. The kitchen set up was basic but usable as we cooked the majority of the time there. The street was quiet except for the occasional train. It was not hard to go anywhere on the west side of Seneca Lake and even over to the next lake west. Cayuga Lake which is the next lake east isn’t too far, about a hour depending on where you go. There are so many things to do. We saw lots of waterfalls and visited wineries. If you go to Watkins Glen you have to get there early or go much later in the day. Would visit again.
