About this property

Serene Lakefront Retreat on Seneca Lake – A Year-Round Hidden Gem!

Escape to our charming one-bedroom, one-bath guest house lakeside overlooking Seneca Lake in the heart of the Finger Lakes. Perfect for a couple, two friends, or a solo traveler seeking solitude and rejuvenation, this peaceful retreat offers breathtaking lake views and easy access to world-class wineries, breweries, quaint towns, and scenic parks. Whether you visit during the vibrant spring, summer, and fall seasons or choose the quiet beauty of the cooler winter months, you'll find comfort, inspiration, and a true connection to beauty.

Your Home Away from Home
Perched on the second floor, this light-filled hideaway features vaulted ceilings and skylights that invite sunlight into every corner. The open-concept living and dining area is thoughtfully designed for conversation and relaxation - perfect for curling up with a good book, enjoying a cozy meal, or simply soaking in the serenity.

Step out onto your private balcony to sip morning coffee with the birds, listen to gentle waves lapping at the shore, or unwind under the stars. A short stroll across the yard takes you to the dock, where Adirondack chairs await for taking in a sunset, swimming, or just dipping your toes in the water.

Thoughtfully Designed for Comfort & Convenience
Climate Control: Stay comfortable year-round with central heat, A/C, and ceiling fans in every room. Or opt for fresh air by cranking open the windows and opening the sliding door to enjoy the breeze off the lake.

Fully Equipped Kitchen: Cook with ease using full-size appliances, ample counter space, a microwave, toaster oven, and an outdoor propane grill. Brew your favorite cup with either a Keurig (K-cups provided) or drip coffee maker complete with a grinder and filters.

Plush Bedroom Retreat: Rest easy in a comfy queen-sized bed with soft sheets and blankets and a gentle lake view.

Spa-Inspired Bathroom: Enjoy heated ceramic tile floors, a spacious shower with natural light, and a selection of essential toiletries.

Laundry & Essentials: A washer, dryer, and laundry supplies are available for your convenience. There's also an iron and ironing board should you need them.

Entertainment & Outdoor Enjoyment
Smart TVs & Wi-Fi: Stream your favorites in the living room and the bedroom or unplug and enjoy the natural beauty around you.

Indoor & Outdoor Dining: Dine at the four-person table inside or savor your meals (in your lap or small side table) outside with lake views.

Lakeside Leisure: Spend your days reading, relaxing, or swimming from the dock or simply watch the sun melt into the water.

A Prime Location for Exploration
Ideally situated between the Seneca and Cayuga Lake Wine Trails, you’ll have access to over 200 wineries, breweries, cideries, distilleries, farm-to-table dining, and creameries. There are also an abundance of events, festivals, celebrations, and live music at numerous venues at any given times.

For outdoor lovers, the area offers:

State Parks & Waterfalls: Discover stunning hikes, peaceful wildlife refuges, and scenic biking and hiking trails.

Marinas & Rentals: Enjoy boating, kayaking, and paddleboarding at nearby Sampson or Geneva State Parks or one of the other parks and recreation areas in our immediate area. (Water shoes recommended for swimming in our lake.) Also check out rail bike rides through the beautiful farmlands here!

Shopping and Farmer's Markets: There are amazing, quaint, walkable towns throughout the Finger Lakes. Breakfast or lunch, walking through beautiful gardens and neighborhoods, and shopping on a cute town squares? Plenty to choose from! If Farmer's Markets with an abundance of fresh produce, flowers, crafts, and beverages are your thing, we have plenty of those, too.

There is a cooler in the guest house to use if you need it during your Finger Lakes adventures.

We had an amazing stay for our 18th anniversary! The home is perfect in every way and Page and Derek are so hospitable to their guests.We were even able to have a tandem kayak delivered which we used in the lake right from the house. This was very convenient and fun! We enjoyed breakfast on the upstairs deck, sunset on the dock, and swimming in the lake. We would definitely return again!

This property was outstanding - felt like a brand new space and showed 0 "wear and tear". As a second floor apartment it had great light and views of Seneca Lake. Mini splits were more than adequate to keep the rooms cool despite very hot weather. I used the kitchen for several meals and it was well-stocked and spacious. Page was very welcoming and took an interest in my reason for visiting - the Ironman 70.3 triathlon - offering storage and access to swim in the lake and a hose to clean my gear. Overall this was an excellent stay and I look forward to returning next year!

So Idyllic!

My wife and I had a lovely stay at Page's place. Our visit began with a very comprehensive and helpful overview email from Page detailing the various wineries, breweries, restaurants, etc. in the region. From the moment we arrived, we felt at home. The apartment had everything we needed to settle in. The views of the lake are amazing and we loved sitting out on the dock just relaxing and soaking up the sun. Page was very attentive and helpful throughout our entire visit. Couldn't recommend this VRBO more!

Perfect Anniversary Get-Away

We enjoyed everything about our stay! The apartment is clean, comfortable, and updated. The views from the deck were beautiful and sipping coffee in the mornings and drinking wine while watching the sunsets will be a favorite memory from our time at the Finger Lakes, among many others. Page and Derek are A hosts. Thank you again!

Peace and tranquility

This place was absolutely beautiful, very quiet and peaceful. The weather was rainy and cold, so we actually spent most of the time at the property, just enjoying the peace and quiet and the views taking it all in recharging ourselves.

Perfect Escape for MDW

Despite the rainy weather for Memorial Day weekend, this property was the perfect place for my boyfriend and I to spend our first trip to the Finger Lakes. The actual property and views from the balcony are even more scenic and serene than the pictures. The apartment itself is super cozy, modern and comfy! Could fall asleep, snuggle with a book or enjoy a meal from any of the seating areas. Definitely take advantage of sitting on the dock to watch a sunset, evem if you have to take a blanket down with you. We also chose one evening to go to Wegman's and cook ourselves a steak dinner & risotto. Whether you're looking to enjoy lake activities, go hiking, or do some wine/brew tours, this is the perfect getaway spot for you and your significant other.

Perfect for Couples - Great View of the Lake

What attention to detail on this gem of a home. Just the right size for a couple with a beautiful view of the lake. Immaculate, warm and inviting place to stay. Our hosts thought of everything, including little things like water in the fridge, a few snacks and complimentary coffee. The layout is great, with an open feeling thanks to the cathedral ceilings. Our hosts were helpful, check in was a breeze. We will be back for sure!
