Spectacularly situated in the midst of world-class wineries on the western shore of Seneca Lake, this waterfront home brings contemporary style and design to a classic Finger Lakes setting.

This multi-level home is beautifully positioned for every season, whether you're catching the harvest season at the nearby Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard or spending a summer on the lakeshore. The corrugated metal exterior is accented by multiple decks and cable railings that maximize the view; the interior is equally modern with its floor-to-ceiling windows, radiant floor heating, and minimalist-yet-comfortable style. The sleek kitchen features stainless steel appliances and an island with bar seating, while the decks provide additional space to relax and sip wine at sunset. A staircase leads down to a private pebbly beach, so you can dip your toes in the cool water with a view of the hills across the lake.

Each well-appointed bedroom features new bedding (upgraded in 2023) for maximum sleeping comfort. Extra perks include a gas grill for summer barbecues, a washer/dryer to keep your wardrobe refreshed, and free WiFi.

THINGS TO KNOW
Access to the second bedroom is from the outside since it is not connected to the main house.
Air-conditioning is provided for each room via energy-efficient split unit systems.

Parking notes: There is free parking available for 3 vehicles.

Beautiful home in a gorgeous location
Right on the lake, this house checked every box for us. We loved the wall of windows looking over the lake and also the location was perfect for wineries, Watkins Glen, hiking and many other activities.

Great getaway
Spent a couple nights here to unwind following a trip to NYC. Couldn’t have been happier with our stay. Weather was great so opened all the sliding doors and spent the night falling asleep to the sound of waves splashing on the shore. It felt like a giant treehouse with all the comforts of home. Deck was great and a perfect spot to cookout. And what’s better than drinking morning coffee down by the lake on the dock. We had a great time. Had one minor issue with some slow plumbing, texted before lunch, and by the time we got back, issue was fixed. The house was thoughtfully stocked with extra linens, pillows and more than enough kitchen utensils to accommodate our family of five. We’ll save this spot as one we’ll head back to again.

Fall Weekend
We had a lovely time waking up to the sunrise through the trees, touring wineries and hiking at Watkins Glen before coming back to the house and cooking dinner in the well equipped kitchen. The house definitely checked all of our boxes for a weekend getaway in beautiful surroundings.

Weekend Stay
The lake view is amazing. The home was very clean and had all the amenities to be comfortable. Also the directions and information about having a 4 wheel drive was helpful. Definitely would come back in the Spring or Summer months.

Great lake house!
We loved the view from the decks and the sliding glass doors. It was not too far from Watkins Glen Park or downtown. The road in was definitedly dicey but doable. All the appliances were high quality, however could use some directions on how to use.

Nice quiet getaway
Nice house in a very quiet neighborhood. Bed sheets were a little dirty but we had brought our own anyway. 4wd is highly recommend. Long winding stone road downhill to get to the house. View was great. Ceiling fan in bedroom didnt work. House made for a nice long weekend getaway.

Wonderful stay on lake Seneca
We could have stayed longer! This home is strikingly lodged into the hill and woods along the west side of Lake Seneca. The whole back of the house, facing the lake, is window and decking. The first thing we did was climb down to the dock on the water and gaze at the stars. Everything you need is there and nothing more so you have kitchen, towels etc but no clutter or extra stuff. It’s a great location. We went to wineries and local hiking all very near. Things to know— as described there is a winding and steep gravel driveway we were okay with it. if you plan to cook you’ll need spices, oil, and there’s a bit of sun in the mornings so bring a sleep mask. It’s a special place and we would definitely come here again.

My Honest Opinion
Honestly, I had mixed emotions about my stay. Yes the house was very nice and clean, but way too overpriced. I understand there were expensive fixtures, but not necessary as it is the house that should be the main price point. The dock is nice, but is really only for swimming, there is nowhere to put in paddleboards or kayaks. When you go down to the dock, there are multiple houses and another set of stairs right on your property (not shown in pictures) there is a house right on top of the vacation home as well. Also, it is off the beaten path, so not good for someone wanting to go explore because there is nothing around and hard to get to the house. We had multiple problems with lights (not working) and the bathroom door being very difficult to open and close. It was very hard to sleep at night due to the loud noises of heaters turning off and on. My main concern is that I had to leave early due to wildfire smoke from Canada coming into New York. I absolutely understand that this is not the homeowner's fault, but I inquired about a partial refund and they said no (at least they reply quickly). The house smelled of smoke and the outside smelled of burning. This is a health concern (no air purifier). The house should not even have been rented out at this time for the safety of the guests. I would have liked a partial refund (because we did stay a night), or a different date reinbursment. Overall, not very private, not comfortable, and disappointed in the services.

Although the property is slightly challenging to get to it is totally worth it when you arrive at this well appointed what feels like a high-end treehouse overlooking an absolutely beautiful lake. My wife and I felt completely at home in this cozy, secluded home.

Total relax
The house is located 12 min. away from the downtown in a forest. Far enough to enjoy peace and quiet. Close enough to go for lunch or visit park as many times as you want. House was enough for our family of 5, we used pull out bad in the living room. Deck at the lake was beautiful, water clear, my boys couldn't get enough of it. We brought paddle board that we used daily. The binder of restaurants and places to visit was very useful. Don't ignore 4x4 requirement to get there. You truly DO! We had very nice stay just before school start, something that everyone needed. Highly recommended

Beautiful lake views - clean modern comfortable living spaces. We were two couples traveling together- nice divided spaces with decks for both bedrooms. We went hiking and wine tasting. Gravel driveway is steep. Really enjoyed our stay!
