About this property

Quiet Lakeview Home, 1.5 acres, Paved Road. HotTub, Firepit, Air Cond, free WIFI

The Stone House is a unique place, which is what drew us to it. Nice views, large fenced yard and plenty of room for a family or couples. The property is above most of the neighbors, so you get privacy and a view out to the lake. Lots of room to park and a large flat front yard.

Just to be clear, we have a view of the lake but no private access to the shore. Public beach and boat launch available at Smith Park just 1/2 a mile south. We are also pet free, no exceptions for any reason.

An open floor plan on the main floor flows from the gourmet kitchen into the dining room, alcove, and into the living room with gas fireplace and a wall of windows looking out to the backyard so it feels uncrowded even with a dozen people milling around the kitchen and dining area. Outside the back door is the BBQ, fire pit, and hot tub overlooking the lake. All new or like new furniture, no worn out old couches. We tried to give the place a warm traditional lake house feel.
There is a master suite with king bed and bathroom with shower and clawfoot tub and en-suite bath on the second floor. Down the hall is a large back bedroom with king bed and a small room with a queen bed across from the master. Two more full bathrooms, one upstairs and one off kitchen. We list it as 3 bedrooms, but there is also a downstairs TV room off the kitchen with new, comfortable queen sofa bed and a small kids size playroom off living room with 2 twin Aerobed mattresses for overflow. The washer and dryer are off the kitchen. We have town water, not a well, so no sulfur smell or bad taste, which can be an issue in this area.
The kitchen is fully equipped with service for 12. If you like to cook, it's really well laid out with a Viking stove, center island for prep and a large refrigerator with ice maker and dishwasher. We regularly have 3 or 4 people in there cooking. Coffee maker, coffee grinder, French Coffee Press, Electric Tea Pot, Pannini press, Blender, Crockpot, mixer, full set of sharp knives, utensils, pots pans and bake-ware, even an electric corkscrew.
The BBQ in back yard is connected to house propane, no tanks to go get filled and it won't go empty in the middle of making dinner. We also include full set of non-breakable plates bowls etc. for backyard use or children.

In warm weather, the back door swings all the way open and the old-fashioned wood screen door to the backyard makes access easy and the classic lake-house wood screen door noise as it closes.. Living room windows front and rear are huge sliders, so the breeze flows through and when the summer heat sets in, brand new Mitsubishi split air conditioning in every bedroom and TV room. Downstairs remains cool from the other units.

Finger Lake Quiet but wonderful
Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to enjoy a girl's weekend in your home. We loved that the hot tub/yard is positioned to overlook the lake, and that it's located only a few minutes from several wineries and breweries. The quaint rooms and small touches around the house were incredibly welcoming, and we've already talked about coming back to this very house next time! There's plenty of space if multiple families were to visit together, and the hosts made it very homey upon entry. Plenty of parking as well for multiple vehicles. The hosts were also very pleasant to communicate with and available for any questions we had. Definitely recommend this beauty if you're looking to visit the Finger Lakes!

Amazing gem with Seneca Lake views
We just loved our stay at Dave and Linda’s property! The house was clean, spacious, thoughtfully decorated, and centrally located amongst many wineries and eateries. The hot tub was huge and such an amazing feature. The yard was also well kept, spacious, and had plenty of seating, multiple swings/hammocks, and a beautiful fire pit. We definitely plan to stay here again when we return to the finger lakes!

A fabulous house tucked away near Seneca Lake. Easy trips for swimming, kayaking, hiking. Seneca Falls and Ithaca were easy day trips. And the hot tub at the end!!

Why they chose this property

I was sold on this house when we walked in the front door. We thought about getting a lakefront, but they are usually smaller properties with neighbors right on top of each other and you also can never take your eyes off children with the water that close, so parents never get to relax. We're on 1.5 acres, fenced backyard and huge flat front lawn so kids can play with no worries. We have municipal water and are on a paved road with a ton of parking.

What makes this property unique

We've rented many homes over the years, some great, some not so great, so we learned what we did and didn't like. Old furniture, mis-matched and sparse kitchenware and crappy mattresses were the biggest things we wanted to avoid. When it came to setting up this house, we approached it like we were going to arrive with our clothes and food, and everything else should pretty much be there.

The road, Peach Orchard Point, is paved right up to the driveway, no steep dirt roads, which are very common in this area. Long 'U' shaped driveway so boat or race car trailers can pull in and out without backing up and plenty of parking. Large front and back yards and a fire pit at the rear overlooking the lake.
We have municipal water, not a well, so no strange sulpher smells or buying bottled water to drink and cook with. BBQ grille is piped to the house propane, no tanks to fill or run out.
Access to the lake is at Smith Park , just half a mile away. There is a playground with gazebos and bbq grills and a beach with life guards for swimming. There is also a boat launch ramp with plenty of room to park your trailer while out on the water for the day.
