Would definitely stay again

11 of us stayed in the house for the weekend. It is very spacious has plenty of cookware and tableware. Lisa was very prompt at getting back to text messages. Plenty of bathroom space and towels. In fact, my daughter tried to book this for June and it was already booked up.

Adequate

We stayed at this VRBO with eight of our friends for our wedding weekend. We booked Thursday to Sunday. When we arrived at the VRBO there was a man inside. Turns out he was the landscaper and he was cleaning the house because the host thought were arriving Friday. (We booked this a year and a half ago). Mistakes happen and we appreciate the landscaper taking over the cleaning responsibility to get us in the house, but there were things that were missed (tissues and food on the floors of some of the bedrooms). The host was not very responsive to messages. Also, of note, the master bedroom only has a tub, no shower. The deck and dock were nice to use. There was plenty of seating for all of us to hang out. I personally would not stay here again based off my experience.

Family reunion on the lake

Wonderful time with kids and grandkids lakeside. Great times renting pontoon boat, swimming in the lake, and pulling kids on tubes. Lake shore/beach has algae accumulation so not good for kids playing. Swimming off the dock is good. No recycling services available so more information about where to take cans and bottles would be extremely helpful.

Tranquility at it's best!

This home was just as described. Clean upon arrival. The view is beautiful. There was plenty of seating for our large family. And hooks already in the trees for our hammock! The walk down to the water is a little steep, but perfectly manageable.

Cornell commencement weekend

A beautiful location right on the lake to watch the sunset. We had plenty of room for our family. We stayed two nights during commencement weekend- it’s about a 50 minute drive to Ithaca. A couple of things to note: the master bathroom has only a jacuzzi tub there is no shower but there is another bathroom on the lower level with a shower. There are no closets in the bedrooms but a few hooks on the wall so we hung our slacks and blouses on hangers we brought. You have to take the garbage out to a dumpster at the top of the road and must carry out any refundable as they are not allowed in the trash. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms had plenty of towels. Kitchen was well stocked. We enjoyed our stay and time spent with family. Thank you Lisa.

Beautiful Property

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were in town for a wedding at Seneca Ridge (literally right up the hill from us). It could not have been more convenient. It was a short drive into Geneva for Wegmans, restaurants, and a walk on the waterfront path. I only wish the weather was a little warmer so we could have enjoyed the deck and water more. I can only imagine how wonderful this property would be in the summer.

House on Seneca Lake

Rustic but cute. The beds could use new mattresses. Some of the lower level windows would not lock which was concerning since we were 6 women who were isolated. The view of Seneca Lake was beautiful. The house was fully equipped with everything we needed.

Gorgeous house but treacherous path to dock

We arrived and the house was not cleaned but the owner quickly handle that and an electrical issue we had as well as the Wi-Fi going down. I did not care about any of this the house itself was beautiful BUT the path to enjoy the small lake view deck and to the dock was awful. So bad that several could not make it to the dock. I am in good shape and was fearful of making it down without falling and hitting rock. If you have small children or older adults or anyone with a disability this may not be the place for them. It definitely changed the dynamics of our trip since only 4 of 10 people could actually traverse the hill down. Instead of fishing and hanging on the dock we sat on the house deck or watched tv. We made the best of it and again if you have no concern about going to the dock the house is amazing. The only recommendation for the house is bring plastic utensils and plates as the house was only stocked for 9 people and after one meal you will have to run the dishwasher to have silverware again.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Harrington

Host profile image
We savor our time on Seneca Lake with friends and family, creating wonderful memories with our three children. We enjoy the clean cool waters and the peaceful surroundings, as well as the wonderful wineries and restaurants. We enjoy making constant improvements to our all-wood home (with an interior full of that rich wood smell) and look forward to sharing our lake side retreat with you.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this home from a family who built it together by hand, and we hope to maintain the wonderfully warm and inviting feel. The view of the lake from this home is so inspirational, the waters are clean, refreshing and replenishing. Besides relaxing and taking in the beautiful surroundings, there are various water sports to be enjoyed --boating, sailing, canoeing--there are over 37 wonderful wineries peppered around the lake, local dairy farms for cheese and ice cream tasting, local parks and beaches, biking and hiking paths, restaurants, spas, water parks, even Waterloo Outlet Mall is close for rainy days.

We hope to retire in this lake home someday. With three children and a family landscaping business we are limited in the time that we spend at the lake. Therefore, we are renting it to allow others the opportunity to enjoy the peaceful setting on the water---renting also helps pay the taxes and maintenance costs.

So please enjoy the all wood home and the stars - the quiet and the lake.

What makes this property unique

With the low ambient light you will see lots of stars. Just walk out the door onto the deck and look up - millions of stars and the sound of waves. In the winter enjoy all the wild waterfowl from all over North America - Seneca Lake does not freeze so enjoy all the waterfowl wintering over - including lots of loons. See Osprey and bald eagles fish and fly. This is a place of peace and quiet - of nature and when inside the wood smell and sight gives a comfort to all.
