About this property
Leaf Peeping, Lakefront, Nordic Sauna, Wine Trail
Imagine waking up to sunlight sparkling on Waneta Lake, stepping onto the deck with a hot cup of coffee, and letting the calm of the water set the tone for your day. Start with a swim or paddle at your private beach, then cook a leisurely brunch in the bright, open kitchen while the kids or friends gather around the lake-view dining area.
Spend the afternoon exploring nearby trails, relaxing in the loft or sunroom with a book, or challenging each other in the basement game room — air hockey, board games, and a big-screen TV, guaranteed fun for everyone. When the sun begins to set, gather around the fire pit for s’mores, or retreat to the spa for some yoga and indoor sauna for the ultimate unwind. At night, fall asleep in the main-level king suite or one of the cozy upstairs bedrooms, lulled by the gentle sounds of the lake.

We had an amazing time! The host was very communicative and helpful. The house was gorgeous inside and out. It was our first time at the finger lakes and we loved it. The area is amazing, we visited Watkins Glen and sampled a dozen wineries. All incredible. We will definitely be back. This house was absolutely perfect.
We loved this property and would definitely recommend it. Hope to visit again. The electronic lock on the doors was so easy to use and convenient. Clean and beautifully decorated house overall. Great location; read a book on every deck possible and in the sunroom :) very peaceful place to stay.We went to Hammondsport a few times, hit up some wineries, biked the Keuka outlet trail and relaxed to the max. Beautiful house, beautiful location. Bring your own camping grill if needed. Easy to find/get to and centrally located to many areas of interest. Thought about hiking Watkins Glen on the way home even. Would have been an easy side trip there and to Seneca lake wineries as well.

Sounds like you covered a lot of ground, from Hammondsport wineries to the Keuka outlet trail, and still found time to read on every deck in the house. Glad the location worked so well as a home base. Hope you make it back for that Watkins Glen side trip next time.
