Unplug, unwind, and soak up lake life at SandraLa, a charming vintage cottage with direct Seneca Lake access. With no internet or TV, it’s the perfect spot to disconnect, relax with a good book, and enjoy peaceful water views.The lake provides a beautiful breeze(no AC).
The cottage sleeps up to 3 and features a shared dock with property owner that still feels private, ample parking, and plenty of character. We draw from the lake and provide our guests bottled water. Due to our location our water pressure is low. The shower is more like a gentle rain rather than a downpour. Please note: SandraLa includes many stairs and is not handicap accessible. No pets or smoking allowed.
Located on the Seneca Lake Wine Trail, you’re minutes from Spotted Duck Creamery, Climbing Bines Brewery, and Showboat Restaurant—with wineries and breweries galore nearby.
Escape to the lake and let SandraLa be your cozy home base.

I have no idea what property Stacey I. and Aaron S. were reviewing... unless the reviews are fake or Stacey and Aaron have no standards.My husband and I arrived later (interestingly, our late check-in mirrors "Aaron's" experience. Hmm...) and left not even 20 minutes after being shown around. Highlights (lowlights?) of this place that makes a tenement look like Buckingham Palace are as follows:-The "many stairs" described in the listing don't tell you how many there are, that they're rickety and precarious inside or out, that that you must bring a flashlight because the three stories of exterior stairs aren't lit.-You're expected to throw TP in a trash can versus flushing it. Or go "European style." Ew. -There was no real living space. All that you could access from the door was the kitchen (which boasted an absolute fire hazard of a range). Up a flight were two bedrooms and the loo. Up another harrowing flight was a sitting area from what I recall.-There was potential for some random septic tank alarm to go off. As someone who startles easily and is sensitive to alarms, nah.-None of the windows appeared to have seen a squirt of Windex since the Nixon administration. The whole place was dirty. -The porch was not as photoed. That swing chair was on the ground acting as a storage vessel.-We asked for a key and were told, oh, we don't lock the doors here.That last one was the deal-breaker. We're fighting with VRBO to get a refund. This place is simply not ready.

Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent experience at our property.
We were surprised to learn through VRBO, 3 days later, that you had checked out the day you arrived. We met you personally upon check in, and at no point were any concerns brought to our attention. Again, it was 3 days later through VRBO that we received your initial complaint and requested a refund. Your initial complaint via VRBO was that pictures on the website were inaccurate.
One week later to the day you arrived we were made aware of your specific concerns on your review of our place.
Had you reached out to us at the time of check in or shortly thereafter to communicate your dissatisfaction we would have gladly worked with you to resolve the issue and perhaps a refund. We take guest concerns seriously and are willing to find fair and timely solutions.
We believe the matter should have been handled at the beginning of your stay. Unfortunately, due to the timing of your request, we are unable to offer a refund.
About the host

The property has been in the family for over 60 years and has been enjoyed by 3 generations.
Why they chose this property
Our favorite thing to do is to just sit on the dock and read followed by a jump in the lake to cool off.
