APRIL 11% Discount - Seneca Lake spacious 5-bedroom chalet JULY DATES NOW OPEN

From our wooded location in the heart of the Seneca Lake Wine Trail, enjoy the beautiful lake and sunset views from our totally rebuilt 700 + sq. ft. deck. Or enjoy a glass of wine on our lower deck off the downstairs bedrooms, while watching the boats on the water or your crew play basketball, volleyball or pickle ball on our 40' x 60' blacktop play area.

This five bedroom, three bath year-round home sleeps 8 - 10 and features a high ceiling great room with wood floors and a fireplace. Two bedrooms and two baths are conveniently located on the main floor. Upstairs includes a large bedroom/playroom and sitting loft, spectacular lake views, which overlooks the great room. The walkout ground floor features two bedrooms, a full bath, and a family room.

The fully stocked kitchen is ready for the chefs among you and has all the appliances, dishes, cutlery, and glasses you will need. The house has central air conditioning & ceiling fans in all rooms.

Our play area is private to the few houses on our private road and is also a great place for the kids to ride their scooters, play games, or just run wild. Our beach access is a short 300-yard walk downhill and has a deck for you to enjoy sitting at the water’s edge.

We are located in Hector, NY, just eight miles north of Watkins Glen, on the east side of Seneca Lake. Our community is filled with wineries, breweries, restaurants, small shops, hiking trails and waterfalls. The vibrant college town of Ithaca is a short distance away.

After a day visiting the 11 wineries within a few miles, or hiking in Watkins Glen or the Finger Lakes National Forest, escape to this quiet getaway to enjoy a glass of New York wine on the deck, read a book. visit with friends, or roast marshmallows at our side yard fire pit.

Perfect Family Getaway in a Quiet and Spacious Location
We absolutely loved our stay at this property! The location was wonderfully quiet, and we made great use of the tennis, basketball, and pickleball courts. The property was easy to find, impeccably clean, and incredibly welcoming. The hosts were very responsive and communicated clearly, making our stay even more enjoyable. The property itself was massive, offering plenty of space for our family to spend quality time together. We highly recommend this location for anyone looking for a peaceful and spacious retreat.

Lovely, great location, but...
While the house is accurate according to the listing, what is not visible is the sewer smell being covered up with household cleaning products (smell possibly emanating from the septic tanks). In addition there were an excessive amount of gnat like fruit flies, even in the bedroom.

Wonderful Family Vacation
The house was excellent - plenty of room for whole family with each couple having their own room. Location was outstanding - short walk to the dock, fun time playing basketball and pickleball, sitting on the deck and having a fire at night. Everything was a short drive - wineries, brewing companies, golf, boat rental, state parks/hikes, and even the grocery store. Had one issue with water pressure that was taken care of in short order, so host was very responsive.

Better than the pictures!
The house is well maintained and in a beautiful location. It was a perfect place for several family members to meet up and spend a week exploring the finger lakes area. There are decks on both levels overlooking Lake Seneca, lovely spots for enjoying wine and conversation while watching the sunset. Paul was an excellent host and very communicative and responsive.

Wine country homestay
We were 4 families stayed for 2 nights at this beautiful property just by Seneca river surrounded by wooded area and many wineries. We cooked both days and found all utensils and kitchen was big and very clean. We will definitely recommend the place large families. There is ample room for big families with 10-15 members and also enough activities like basketball tennis court and access to the river.

Large Home With Beautiful View
We were only a group of four, but Hector Chalet is a great home for large groups. Sleeping space is plentiful. Although we only used the kitchen for breakfast, the kitchen is well equipped. The location is ideal, as there are many wineries nearby. Watkins Glen is about 20 minutes away, and Ithaca, about 30 minutes. The owner, Paul, responds quickly to any questions or issues.
