This was a very nice place to stay. We like the east side of Seneca lake which made this a very ideal place to stay. Would recommend it at anyone wanting to vacation in the Finger Lakes!
Beautiful brand new apartment - we stayed in the west unit with a nice lake view. Nice layout with bed, bath & sitting room & outdoor covered porch upstairs, kitchen, sitting area with pull out bed and full bath downstairs. Complementary beverages & snacks were a great addition too.We had a wonderful stay!
This is a really nice and comfortable property. It's new, has plenty of space on 2 floors for 2 people and is well furnished, although the kitchen could use more glassware and cookware. It really was like a 4 star hotel stay. The rear (west) unit is best because it doesn't face the street and has a partial water view of Seneca Lake. It's located in the middle of all the wineries and is only a 10 minute drive to Watkins Glen. I'd highly recommend this spot to anyone who plans to stay in this area and we hope to return to it in the future.
I have stayed at the Finger Lakes before but this house is hard to beat! Not only is the location so convenient, but the interior of the house was above and beyond. We were able to check in early and the key pad lock was very convenient and it was great not having to worry about forgetting a key. The house had snacks, ice, coffee and a complimentary bottle of rose which we loved! The bed and linens were great quality and definitely led to a great night sleep. We will definitely stay again!

The Little Things
Excellent, attention to detail on this new construction is obvious. Fantastic linens, and do not underestimate the importance of good taste because the great eye of the decorator shows through from the couch side lamps to pleasing colors used throughout, a real zen experience. So happy I didn’t choose a motel or inn. Struck gold here, I will return.
It's not often a property looks exactly like it's listing, but this one did not disappoint! I think the house and accommodations were even more beautiful than the pictures. The location was great! So close to many local wineries and breweries and a short walk down to the lake. We were pleasantly surprised to find a complimentary bottle of wine upon our arrival in addition to a basket of snacks and bottled water. There were even two bags of ice in the freezer! The property managers really went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable and we had everything we needed. We will definitely be staying here again in the future.
Fantastic studio! The hosts of this charming VRBO have thought of everything, making our stay delightful. The accommodations are as nice if not nicer than suggested by the photos. My husband and I found this to be the perfect location for hiking at Watkins Glen & visiting local wineries and breweries. I enjoyed reading my book on the deck while having my morning coffee. The hosts left plenty of literature to help us become acquainted with the area and spoiled us with snacks, a bottle of wine and coupons for wine tasting! They were also able to be contacted easily, though it was not necessary to do so as instructions for check-in, check-out etc were clear. We highly recommend this property & would book again without hesitation!
