About this property

English Lakehouse: Spectacular views on the Seneca Lake Wine Trail

Welcome to English Lake House, a stunning Seneca Lake vacation home designed for comfort, relaxation, and unforgettable lakefront views.

Set on the east side of Seneca Lake, this spacious retreat features three levels of decks, 100 feet of gradual-entry shoreline, and enough room for families or friends to spread out and enjoy every moment.

Inside, the open main floor includes a fully equipped kitchen with plenty of counter space, an island for casual dining, and a large dining table overlooking the water. The living room features cozy seating, a fireplace, and a flat-screen TV with HBO, Showtime, and DVR.

A queen bedroom and full bath on the main floor make this level ideal for guests with limited mobility. Upstairs, you'll find the master suite with a king bed, vaulted ceilings, private balcony, and lake views you'll never forget. Another upstairs bedroom offers a queen and full bed plus a shared bath.

The lower level includes a fourth queen bedroom, third full bath, second living area with TV, and daybed with trundle — great for kids or extra guests. A second laundry set and walk-out access to the lake make this level both fun and functional.

Step outside to enjoy your private lakefront paradise. Relax on the dock, take a swim, paddle a kayak, or enjoy a lakeside fire under the stars. The home includes a grill, A/C window units, Wi-Fi, and plenty of parking.

Just minutes from Watkins Glen and the Seneca Lake Wine Trail, English Lake House is the perfect home base for your next Finger Lakes getaway — where every day ends with a beautiful sunset.

Great Property and great location

Great house and property for a family looking to enjoy the Finger Lakes and surrounding area. Plenty of space and nice layout. Would recommend for a large family hoping to take advantage of the proximity to the water!

Excellent location

Beautiful property - quiet and secluded on Lake Seneca, but quite close to all the hiking and shopping attractions we were interested in. Home was tastefully decorated, well stocked kitchen, and comfy beds. Lots of room! Would love to stay here if in the area again.

Everything you need for a great family getaway

House is clean, comfortable and well-stocked; great views of the lake and easy access to the water. Watkins Glen nearby with a great state park for hiking and stores/shopping for anything you might need. Right on the wine trail (which we didn't do, but sad we didn't) with tastings, breweries, food, live music. The mgmt company was very responsive to our minor questions. Kids are already asking to go back! P.S. if you stay at The English, please tell Sully we said hello! ;-)

Beautiful house

The lakehouse was a nice hidden gem. Like others posted the driveway is very steep and gravel. The GPS directions weren't as bad as the postings made it seem to be. The managers should just update the posting with a couple of sentences for the directions to alleviate any anxiety. I would've given 5 star ratings however before we arrived we were informed the water well needed replaced and they provided a tank of water for us. They informed us the water tasted bad for drinking but safe for cooking and washing. Well.........our first night there the house had a smell of sulfer to it and the water smell almost made me puke just washing dishes. There was no way we could cook with that water. Then on top of that the hot water tank wasn't working properly so we didn't have hot water for morning showers. I called the management office and they sent someone in a couple of hours. The filer was changed so it didn't smell quite as bad after that. We still used store bought water for cooking. Other then the water and sulfer smell.........the house was great. It did leave a little sour taste about staying there though

Very nice home with a nice 2nd kitchen downstairs. Could use a few updates and small repairs, ie. living room furniture and replace the kitchen sink. great views and access to the lake. Would stay again.

English lake house getaway

The English lake house was exactly as advertised. Updated home with three floors each having at least one private bedroom and full bath. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking, decks sport gorgeous views of the lake, fire pit for evening s’mores, kayaks and plenty of tubes for floating! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay (especially close proximity to nearby vineyards and breweries) and look forward to returning in the future.

Thanksgiving with extended family.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. All descriptions of listing are accurate, and possibly we missed it but there was also an additional twin bed in the downstairs suite. It worked out extremely well for our two families plus grandparents. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a big thanksgiving dinner! Lovely property.

September 2017 Stay

English Lake house is a beautiful property. Along with the most serene view of the lake, it has a fully equipped kitchen, comfy beds, and a great layout. Everything was very clean and well maintained. The main deck has ample seating to enjoy the morning sunrises and evening sunsets with the entire group. We couldn't have been more pleased. The one thing you should know, is the road to the house is loose gravel and extremely steep. If using a limo service for your trip they may not make it to the house to pick you up. Our Limo bus made it but he had to back down the last part to get to the driveway. SUVs shouldn't have a problem. Cars will. Also, beware of the way the GPS takes you. From the main road above you should turn directly on to Birge Road none of the other side streets around it, they are worst.
