About this property

Boondock Retreat, pet friendly 4 bedroom home with EV charger

Boondock Retreat is a restored farmhouse on the west side of Seneca Lake. Located just a stones throw from the Seneca Lake Wine Trail and about 15 minutes from Watkins Glen, this cozy home has great proximity to the Seneca Lake wineries and towns.

*Pet friendly
*EV charger
*Close to Seneca Lake wine trail
*Views of Seneca Lake
*Outdoor patio and firepit

Boondock has a large open Living room and Dining room area with patio doors to the deck and views of Seneca Lake. The Living Room has a big sectional sofa, smart tv, and a great little nook with games, puzzles, and a table to sit at to do both of these activities, and the dining room comfortably seats 8.

The kitchen has stainless appliances, an eat-in Kitchen island area, as well as a coffee bar area. The large windows in front of the sink face toward the lake, making dishes a pleasure rather than a chore!

The Primary bedroom is on the main floor with a King bed and attached full bath with walk-in shower. Upstairs there are 3 more bedrooms, each with a Queen bed, and another full bath with a tub/shower. There is a small living space on the landing upstairs with a couch and tv.

There is a grill just off of the deck and a patio in the yard with a firepit along with outdoor patio furniture. This home has a large yard with a fence running around much of the property.

We were very impressed with the cleanliness of the entire house. We enjoyed the back deck and fire out. There was plenty of room for the 7 adults and a 3 year old. We would definitely stay here again.

The stay was fine. We had an issue with Wifi codes. The instructions emailed to us stated a different code than the info binder in the house and was different than the small plaque in the kitchen. The one in the kitchen was correct. Those others need to be updated so it's not so confusing.The remote for the LR TV would not page to the right so it was difficult to get anywhere since all stations/icons were on to the right. We changed the batteries in the remote and somehow was able to - only by luck - able to move the cursor to the right; but not all the time. Very frustrating. Remote should be replaced. Beds were comfortable and plenty of towels were available. Property was nice with big yard. We enjoyed our visit to Seneca Lake
