We visit the FLX quite often and this property was the best we ever rented for 4 couples. We loved how spacious the house was and every imaginable amenity for an ultra comfortable stay was at our fingertips. Matt was super easy to communicate with and eager to make our stay enjoyable. We normally prefer to stay on the east side of Seneca, but this home will definitely bring us back to the Penn Yan area.

For the last few summers we’ve really enjoyed staying at Herbst Hideaway. The location can’t be beat; it’s right on beautiful Seneca Lake where we can watch the sunrise each morning. The house is open and airy as well as fully equipped with everything we need. Matt is always available via phone if needed.

Girls Weekend

Had a great long weekend with a group of my friends at Herbst Hideaway! Although the weather did not turn out as we were hoping for, we had a great time staying at this property. Beautiful view, very clean and well stocked with everything you needed. Beds were extremely comfortable. Matt answered any questions we had right away. I couldn’t have picked a better place for our first time visiting Finger Lakes. Definitely recommend.

Great lakeside visit

This home is spotless, well-stocked and sized perfectly for our group of 4 couples. The view is fantastic and the location’s proximity to wineries and breweries is terrific. This was our 3rd annual trip to this property and we are already planning our return for year 4!

Family Vacation

The house provided our family with a bedroom for each of us. The kitchen was fully equipped to allow us to cook breakfast and dinner every day. The living area was adequate so we could gather to chat & play games. Sunrise was stunning!
