About this property

Lakefront House on Seneca Lake

This inviting lakefront home is perfect for families. The large, private, fenced in yard keeps toddlers from going to the lake. The porch swing on the deck is a great place to watch awesome sunsets.

The house has spacious rooms and comfortable furniture. The great room has a fireplace and built in bookshelves that are full of books and games. Basic cable TV and wireless internet are available too. The kitchen is fully equipped with dishes, utensils and small appliances and dishwasher. The table in the dining area off the great room seats 8. Sunny breakfasts are delightful on the cozy, knotty pine porch.

The upstairs has 3 bedrooms with views of the lake and a 1/2 bath. One bedroom has 2 antique twins; another has a queen and 2 twins. The third is a small bedroom with 1 twin bed. The downstairs bedroom has a double bed and is near the bathroom.

The Bunkhouse is available as extra sleeping space. It has it’s own powder room and a set of bunk beds, but is not winterized. The bunkhouse 1/2 bath is available May through October.

The stairs to the lake are lit with solar lamps. Our waterfront includes a deck, a 50 ft long L shaped dock, and a swimming beach. You can use the canoe and swim to the raft (note - raft available between Memorial Day and Labor Day). The lake is about 5 ft. deep at the raft. Seneca Lake has excellent fishing and boating, with marina’s nearby to rent all types of boats. Cookout on the gas grill and roast marshmallows on the firepit. There is parking for 4 cars.

If you've been here as a guest of our renter, please mention it to us if you want to rent it yourself.

Girls Trip

We had the best time during our 4-night stay. The location was fantastic, close enough to many things we wanted to do. We took some suggestions from the hosts, and were not disappointed. The house had everything we needed and then some! Very cute, very cozy, makes you feel at home, and some of the best sunset views at night! Would definitely come back and/or recommend to friends/family.

Wonderful Weekend @ FLX

The Owners were communicative and easy to work with, and the property was lovely and mostly well-appointed (e.g. more paper towels, trivets, and larger oven mitts would be the only suggestion). We neglected some items on the checkout requirements but appreciated the feedback from the host/hostess to impart to our adult children who were left in charge of the departure checklist. The home had ample room to host our family and friends and amazing sunset/sunrise views of Seneca Lake! Thank you, Carson Family!

Girls getaway

The most important things that we were looking for were cleanliness and location. Our stay did not disappoint! The cottage was very clean and our location was close to the things we wanted to do, but private enough for us to be able to relax. We were even able to see the northern lights one night! We had a great time and would highly recommend staying here.

Perfect family vacation

From the moment we arrived we knew this would be a great vacation. Our 2 grandkids, 4 and 7, loved the yard and beach. We played badminton, corn hole, soccer, swung on the swing, kayaked, swam, searched for shells and rocks. Geneva is a short drive away for groceries, shopping and restaurants. AC was a bonus! We went for walks along the cottage road, watched the Olympics, read, played card games, did puzzles and napped. We loved the big picnic bench style dining area and the family gathering living room. Our 2 adult daughters stayed and son-in-law visited. Easy commute for them from work and Newark to come and go. The neighbors were quiet and friendly, private yard and beach.

Friends, fishing, FUN!

This was the best place for our group! We had two families and all 4 kids loved the space! The bunkhouse was perfect for the older kids to have a space to hang alone. The kids all loved fishing off the dock, kayaking, axe throwing and swimming! (Water shoes kind of necessary and was in the listing) Lots of places to sit and relax both inside and out, lots of beds to choose from, and lots of fun was had at the house! Chris and Chuck were easy to get ahold of for questions and reached out to see how we were after a few storms came through. We did a ton of hiking and the farthest spot was about an hour away.

Wonderful Retreat in the FLX

Chris and Chuck’s place was perfect for our girls getaway/retreat weekend in the Finger Lakes. The house is great and the location right on the lake was better than expected! Wish the weather had been better so we could have made more use of the dock and boating equipment! The house was warm, comfortable and so inviting - lots of space and charm! Even the neighbors were super welcoming when I went for an early morning walk. Lots to do in the area and Chris and Chuck were great guides offering suggestions and things to do in and around the area. Our group will definitely be back again!

Besides the obvious beauty of the area and having the lake directly out the back door, this property offered everything our group needed-spacious and cozy with all the essentials. The bunk house was a bonus too! So close to some of our favorite places on Seneca. Will definitely return in the future!

Great summer vacation at the Lake!

Home was so clean and well equipped with all we needed and more for a great stay. We especially enjoyed the dock and back yard facing the lake. Rented a pontoon boat a few days and cruised the lake. We would for sure stay again. Chuck was easy to reach when we locked ourselves out- whoops! Wonderful family summer stay!

Long weekend/ family celebration

We wanted to stay directly lakefront while celebrating a family event and needed to be fairly close to Ithaca. This host has a spacious comfortable Home that met all of our needs. It offered the most spectacular sunsets ability for boating, Close proximity to wineries and enough space for our family to enjoy being together. We would love to stay at this property again as our hosts were very responsive and engaged in making sure we had a memorable visit!
