Lakeside Log Cabin in the Heart of the Finger Lakes

A perfect lakeside retreat in the heart of the Finger Lakes. It’s uniquely located on the Seneca Lake wine trail halfway between Geneva and Watkins Glen, less than 10 miles from Keuka Lake. Whether you’re visiting the area to get out and enjoy its scenic beauty or relaxing by the tranquil water, this hidden gem affords you access to it all.

Begin your escape as you drive along the gravel path that leads to a beautiful log home tucked beneath a canopy of trees with Seneca Lake peeking through. There is ample parking with room for yard games along the west side of the home, and the main entrance lies to the south. The smell of cedar will greet you as you walk into the open floor plan of Secluded Bliss Lodge.

The kitchen spans one end of the home, providing ample counter space alongside new appliances for the family chef. Both the dining and living spaces flow directly off the kitchen and offer comfortable seating, views of the surrounding woods, antique adornments and an ornamental wood stove to enhance the lodge’s rustic charm. Double doors off the living area open to a fully furnished, screened in front porch; a tranquil space with a peaceful view to enjoy your morning coffee.

For your convenience there is a full bathroom with shower and tub on the main floor, as well as a first floor bedroom complete with a queen bed. Go up the set of stairs off the living room and you’ll find a vaulted loft with additional sleeping space. There is a bedroom at each end of the upper level, one with a queen bed and half bath, the other with a queen bed and futon. Handmade quilts and comfy pillows on all the beds guarantee you will sleep “like a log”.

Have fun in the lower level rec room housing air hockey and Ping-Pong tables, puzzles, games and a small tv. From here, open the door to an outdoor space complete with a grill, fire pit and steps that lead to 20’ of lakefront, a dock and boat hoist. Don’t miss out on the subtle luxury that Secluded Bliss has to offer. Book today!

Comfortable place to stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our week. Fire pit was very nice. View of lake could be a bit improved if some of the smaller trees were removed, but overall it was relaxing.

Seclude bliss was our home away from home for 3 nights. What a darling storybook / our very own Virgin River moment. Stocked with all the conveniences of home. We are all ready talking about booking our next trip in the later summer. We definitely recommend.

Lovely Lake Cabin!
We rented this cabin for a girl’s trip to the finger lakes area. The cabin was perfect for our group. The screened back porch was our favorite spot. We never used much of the rest of the house as the porch was so inviting. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. It was a great property.

Secluded Gem
What a Great property. Secluded, clean and had everything needed for a fun couples getaway! This cabin was super clean! Well stocked kitchen with spices, coffee filters, serving trays and everything you could need. Screened patio was perfect and a great camp fire spot just a bit from the house. Beautiful view atop the hill to hear the waves lapping on the beach! Stairs to the beach were…. Very long!!! But it was a great property. I highly recommend staying here!

Nice cabin tucked away at Seneca lake
My family had a great time at Secluded Bliss. The lake itself is just a short walk down the steps to the dock, and the towns of Geneva, Watkins Glen, and Hammondsport are just a short drive away. And of course your right on the Seneca wine trail so there are myriad wineries to explore. The cabin was a good size for my wife, 11 year old son and I, and it had everything we had expected. Sarah was extremely responsive to all of our questions. The only thing I would change is adding Wifi. Thanks for everything.

Better than the pictures!
A group of friends and family spent a girls weekend at Secluded Bliss. We were pleasantly surprised by the amount of room and quality of the home. The pictures do not do the space justice. Everything was super cute, clean and organized. There is a nice fire pit as well if you would like to utilize this up by the house. The only negative about the place was the amount of stairs to get down to the water. There is a road that you can drive if you prefer. The waterfront is not the best for swimming and extremely shallow (but may be because of the drought). There's plenty of swimming area if you go off the dock, but it's difficult to get in and out.

You can't judge a book by it's cover
The property was dusty, dirty, and needed maintained. The road to the cabin was full of potholes and very muddy. There was a TV but no cable or dish hookup. Several light bulbs inside and outside needed replaced Some of the wiring was an electricians nightmare.. The deck furniture needed replaced. The property was not as described . We would rate it one star.

unsettling
Cabin is beautiful and clean. On our second day, I received a text from the owner saying a former guest left something in the cabin and the owner had to come get it, it was in a secured part of the cabin. She asked my schedule for the following day so she could stop. I told her I get up around 7am and we were planning on leaving for the day around 9. I then asked if she could wait till Sunday when we checked out. She never replied. We waited to 10am for her to show. She did not. After delaying our plans for the day for an hour, we left the cabin. She entered the cabin when we were gone. I am not comfortable with that. We are also wondering if she accidently gabbed my husband's phone charger because it was missing. The dishwasher did not work. It would run but would not clean any dishes. The downstairs shower was terrible, the shower head is broken. We also were left with only one roll of toilet paper for six people for an entire week.

Sisters Get Away
There was nothing about our stay that wasn’t perfect. Even the rainy weather gave us an opportunity to catch up, play some ping pong, and enjoy our favorite spot - the screened in back porch! As a retired nurse and part-time cleaner for an a vacation rental, I and my sisters were very impressed with the cleanliness of the property! We also enjoyed the deer and other wild life that visited with us. Thank you!
