About this property

The Lake House is a restored 1880's farmhouse nestled on the western slope of Seneca Lake with approximately 400 ft of lakefront and a beach with a firepit and a dock. In the past it has been a Bed and Breakfast. It is very private, surrounded by woods and garden, on 10 acres of land in the midst of The Seneca Wine Trail as well as the growing brewery, distillery, chocolate and cheese trails. The house contains many family heirlooms. it is roomy and has many areas for guests to gather.

If combined with the cottage (#231064) it makes for a nice haven that is especially amenable for reunions and family gatherings. There are many activities to keep you busy on and off the property. In addition to 2 canoes, two kayaks, and paddle boat, there is a firepit on the beach and on the backside of the house. There is swimming and fishing (w/ license) off the dock.
The large front porch is great for lounging, socializing, eating and otherwise taking in your surroundings.

Truly unique property

The house is on 5 acres in a secluded area just above the lake. There is a beautiful walk down to the shore as well. The house is incredibly well kept and we spent almost all day sitting on the massive porch on the front of the house. The kitchen was large with a Wolf stove and there were plenty of rooms and bathrooms. My family was so happy and would come again! Our host made everything easy and the location of the house made it easy to get to the wineries, Watkins Glen and fantastic restaurants.

50 Year College Reunion

6 College roommates plus spouses or SO gathered. We were looking for a place with 6 bedrooms, and many bathrooms. This one caught our eye. We are very glad we made the choice. Everything was perfect for our long weekend! Close to lots of fun things to do. We enjoyed late afternoon snacks on the beautiful front porch. Rooms were perfect! We plan to come back next year!

Perfect "Girl's Trip" Rental

Plenty of space to gather or for private time alone. Great location to a lot of the wineries and activities. Beds are all wonderful. Bathrooms and hot water supply was fantastic. Well equipped. (Except note that bath towels are not provided.) Access to the house involves steps or small hill that might be difficult for some with large luggage. Trek to the lake is not easy. The yard is large and sloped and the walk to the stairs is long and sloped and then the 76 stairs are a challenge. But, it is worth it. It's a beautiful spot on the lake. (Can't see the lake from the house because of the trees.)

Wonderful Family Stay

The farmhouse and the separate rental cabin on the property were perfect for our large family of 17 to vacation together. We had 4 family units and had a marvelous time! The main house was delightful, with plenty of space for privacy and for gatherings. We enjoyed the massive front porch and comfy furniture the most as a family gathering spot. We all hiked the Glen, made a day trip to Niagara Falls, enjoyed the lake (yes, it’s a bit of a trek for us older folks but really not bad), sampled wine at some of the many wineries right on the road up the hill, enjoyed big family dinners in the wonderful kitchen, big card games around the dining room table, and slept like babies. We felt very at home, and everyone fully enjoyed their stay.

Was very good

I thought we were on the water but were a little bit away. Walk to water was pretty steep, but the house was great. Great lawn for games and big hose. I brought many more kitchen items than needed as everything was there. We were 5 couples, all had great bed rooms and baths.

About the host

Hosted by Michele Pavillard

This is a photo of family and myself enjoying breakfast on the porch. This is my favorite activity at the Lake House!

Why they chose this property

We live and work nearby but coming to the lake gives me an instant feeling of "being away from it all". It allows me to take mini vacations as needed!
