Nitty gritty detailed information:
THE HOME:
Situated on 3 wooded acres, our renovated, spacious home offers a peaceful place to escape and relax with your family and friends. We have done that many times and we would love for you to have the same wonderful experience! It's located on town maintained road (which basically means it's plowed in the winter and wide enough that you don't have to pull over for oncoming cars like many of the seasonal roads along the lake).

Our home features 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms (one bathroom includes a tub while the other two have showers). A spacious living room with flat screen TV, and vaulted ceiling with a wall of windows. A separate family/game room features a separate flat screen tv and an air hockey table which we've witnessed first hand is fun for all ages! Our large eat-in kitchen with dining area for at least 8 and the large central island make it the perfect gathering spot as the heart of the home. You will enjoy meals here whether that means cooking with all the pots/pans or whether that means take-out as there's plenty of space for both! The fridge and dishwasher can make stowing away leftovers and dirty dishes a breeze. Our spacious deck with outdoor sectional and chaise lounge chairs has to be a highlight of the home too - perfect for lounging with a good book, a drink/snack or just watching the sunset over seasonal lake views while listening to nature. We have a non-heated “plunge pool” with its own deck, sun umbrella and deck chairs. The third "dining" deck with gas grill also lets you enjoy the outdoors with a separate outdoor dining table (with seating for 8). Each bedroom and bath is located on separate floors allowing for privacy while still being together. You and your guests will have ample space to park your cars/trucks/boats, etc! (For those interested, nearby Smith Park has a boat launch area for a nominal daily fee.) We recently installed a hot tub for guest use all year round!

We hope you'll feel pampered and comfortable in each bedroom. All our beds and pillows have mattress/pillow covers for hygiene and peace of mind. With clean linens and fluffy pillows, you'll find a king bed in the main floor bedroom and a queen bed in the lower level bedroom (for a total of 4 guests) - with the main floor bedroom having its own flat screen tv. Kids will LOVE the upstairs bedroom which features two fun ‘boat’ beds that each include an additional trundle bed- loads of fun for family sleepovers. All the bedrooms have blinds and/or curtains that block out the majority of sunlight that comes through the windows. The house can accommodate an additional 2 guests with the use of a queen sleeper sofa. We have enough linens and pillows for those too! It is located in the game room so there is nobody sharing a bedroom. Recently, we added a sliding barn boor so that this lower level sofabed area has some added privacy.

Whether you're staying for a week or a long weekend, we have tried to provide all of the conveniences of being at home without you having to bring anything! All of the below are provided:
• Clean linens (bath towels, pool towels, sheets, pillowcases, comforters/blankets)
• Ironing board, vacuum, hair dryer
• 4 Streaming TV's (2-Roku 2-FireTV w/ subscription to YouTubeTV and Disney+)
• STRONG Wifi and cell signals (no land line)
• Washer and dryer
• Fully equipped kitchen features pots, pans, utensils, plates, glasses, mugs, kitchen towels, toaster oven, blender, coffee maker and Keurig
• Central A/C and radiant heating
• New stainless steel appliances
• Gas grill on deck (grill tools)
• Child-friendly conveniences available upon request: Pack n play, baby monitor (audio - not video!), high chair and 2 booster seats

The house is set on a large lot and an uber private location provides tranquility at all times of the day and night - with plenty of space to explore, run around and enjoy. You can hear an occasional jet ski but more often than not, this house nestled in the woods will make you feel like you're camping with all the comforts of a fully functional, temperature controlled home :)

THE AREA:
We feel our location in Hector is as good as it gets! More than 20 wineries, a handful of breweries and a few distilleries are just a short drive away, along with several delicious restaurants to fit everyone’s budget - from fine dining (Farm to table) to comfort food (pizza/burgers). Most offer beautiful views of the lake to enjoy while you sip/taste the best of the region. We would be happy to recommend some of our favorites to you!

Our A-Frame home with Seneca Lake access is situated on 2+ park like acres and located just off the Winetrail. Our home offers a peaceful place to escape and relax with your family and friends. It's located on town-maintained road for year-round access.

Amazing Property!
We spent 4 nights here last weekend and what a wonderful time we had! The pictures don't do this property justice because it is completely renovated and just beautiful. We loved the hot tub and firepit at night. The property is very close to some of the best wineries, so we could go back and forth during the day. The hosts have the home stocked with just the right essentials so we didn't have to bring everything with us. We will definately come back, and this is where we will stay!

Awesome vacation home in an Excellent FLX location
This 3 level, 3bedroom/3bath home has everything, and all of the major and minor amenities a vacation home should have, including spacious living room and open kitchen plus dining area, large outdoor deck areas, hot tub, large outdoor gas grill, and a fire pit with loads of seasoned wood to burn. The lovely, private site is located on the SE side of Seneca Lake - which is only a few minute, flat walk away - surrounded by trees but also enjoying a picturesque view of the lake through the branches and leaves. The easy-to-get-to site is down a paved drive (not gravel!), right off of the main road (414) and within minutes of a great restaurant, several wineries, and a convenience store; Watkins Glen is a short 15 minutes away. The 6 of us (3 couples) totally enjoyed spending time together inside and outside of the home, but also appreciated having our private living spaces on each of the 3 separate floors). There are multiple smart TVs, and even a game room which adjoins an additional family room on the lower level. Finally, the host was excellent, clearly wanting our stay to be just right, and was very responsive before and during our stay. Highly recommended!!

Great location.
Our stay was great. The house was in great condition and everything is labeled and easy to find so that you are not searching around for which switch controls what. Instructions are very detailed and easy to follow. You can see the lake from the hot tub and deck and there are great views of sunsets over Seneca lake. If we travel to the area again, we will likely be back!

Family getaway
This property has everything you need for a perfect getaway. House is even better in person, updated bathrooms so nice. Kitchen is very well stocked loved the hot tub! Short walk to lake we stayed in April weather wasn't great but I can imagine using the lake in summer would be so convenient. Downstairs area is awesome newly renovated loved the air hockey and darts. My only negative was main floor mattress very soft and lumpy.

Relaxing Getaway
We loved our stay in Hector!! We had 3 separate couples traveling together and the layout of the house was ideal with each of us sleeping on a separate level. We especially loved the lake view from the main living area and deck, the well-equipped kitchen and the hot tub. The beach is a quick walk down the hill and there are many wineries within a few minute drive. Watkins Glen and the Corning Glass museum are an easy drive too. Overall we absolutely loved our stay and hope to do another family trip here again!

Beautiful home and perfect location
My fiancé and I stayed there over Presidents’ Day weekend with our two dogs. It was a beautiful home in a great location. Very quiet and away from everything right on the lake but also within 5 minutes of a ton of breweries and wineries. Would definitely recommend to anyone the house was great we 3 floors and a bedroom on each floor, fun game area in the basement, hot tub and pool(in the summer) outside. Was the perfect weekend get away home and the house was very clean and can’t say enough about how convenient the location was. Right on the wine trail and close to breweries and the state park trails as well.
