Wonderful lakefront house!

The house was the perfect amount of space for my husband and me and our two little boys, and it was absolutely spotless. We loved being right on the water and the peace (and fun) that this location offered. Lovely and helpful hosts who obviously care a great deal about this property and their guests. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

Seneca Lake House

Jeff and Jeanne were friendly, welcoming and helpful. The house is well equipped indoors and outdoors. We enjoyed swimming, fishing and canoeing- all equipment provided by the owners. If I am ever in Penn Yan again I will stay their lakefront house.
