We had 4 couples in this house and it was perfect. We had an issue with the deck being redone earlier than expected so we couldn't hang on it, but we were refunded $$ without even having to complain. That is a sign of a well run place who is about satisfying their customers. The views of the Lake and the horses right in front of us were really great. You are close to so many wineries. We had dinner at Ports Cafe on Saturday night and it was SOOOOO good!! I would highly suggest hitting here for a dinner!!! We are already talking about coming back for another visit next year!!! If you complain about this place, you may be the problem! It is all you need to enjoy a nice weekend at Finger Lakes!

The house was very well layed out. We found everything we needed. This was the first time in years that all of my grandchildren were together under one roof and we had a blast!!!

The view is great. The house needs some work. There is a musty mildew smell. It says it sleeps 10 they provide an air mattress that is covered in mold. We think it was a sump pump that would shake the house every time it turned off. If you are a light sleeper the house is on the main road and a lot of windows don’t have blinds or blinds that fit. There are soft spots in the decking. Overall good location and view but house needs work

The reviews that I read about the views, horses, and space are all accurate. There was enough space for our group of 8 people and the property managers were very responsive. It's also pretty close to Geneva (15 minutes) and reasonably close to Watkins Glen and Ithaca for all the hiking we wanted to do. The yard was a good size. Beds were comfortable, shower pressure was good - all the things mentioned before. :) So why not 5 stars? My group has been torn on whether to rate this as 3 stars or 4. There's a lot of good, but we felt like for the general condition of the house (the deck is in REALLY bad shape, there are multiple stains on the carpets, the kitchen wasn't really equipped for everything we wanted to do, etc.) this house is overpriced. The manager was very responsive when I told her there wasn't a can opener and the dishwasher rack was broken, but these were all things that I just wasn't expecting for the price tag. Our group decided it's the price that made this 3 stars instead of 4. In addition, there were a few things that I do not believe were in the initial listing or the additional contract that was sent - I went back and checked - that I STRONGLY feel should have been included. I first noticed these things in the check-in e-mail that was sent a week prior. 1.) They recommend you not drink the water - they said it was safe, but recommend your bring bottled water for your whole group for the week. 2.) There's wifi - technically - but in the check-in e-mail it says not to stream video because it's metered wifi and they don't have unlimited data. I'm surprised they are allowed to list Wifi as an amenity given that they put restrictions on its use. It DOES say in the contract that the Wifi is a "convenience and is not integral to the agreement" but I definitely didn't guess that's what that meant. As mentioned in another review, the Wifi is quite slow for even doing simple tasks. 3.) There's an electric fence on part of the property. This one didn't impact us too much, as our kids are a bit older (6 and 8), but if I had younger children or a really curious dog, I would have wanted to know. This is only the 2nd time out of lots of VRBO or similar stays that I really don't feel like the cost was worth the stay, but for the price we wouldn't stay here again. Our group discussed more than once with each other during the trip that we were disappointed in what we got for the price that we paid.

Very clean, beautiful house, friendly communication, but no washer or dryer, and missing cutlery. Also hole in wall. Told owners who were very kind about fixing it all.

We spent the Fourth of July weekend at the home with friends, all of our young kids/babies and dog. It was the perfect home to set up shop and relax for a few days! Lots of great wineries and breweries within a 10-minute drive. Large, comfortable bedrooms. The open layout of the living room and kitchen made it the perfect spot to prep meals and drinks and have everyone still be hanging together. The home overlooks a beautiful field with a few horses, which entertained everyone as we grilled and relaxed on the porch and in the yard, as well as Seneca Lake. The firepit was well kept and close enough to the house to run in and check on kids. A couple of notes: it is pet friendly, but it is not fenced and the deck is open on both sides, so we cobbled together a gate with the porch furniture and garbage bins so our pup could hang on the deck with us (which worked fine!) Definitely bring a long lead for the yard as it is on the main road. We had a couple of moments where someone needed to work for a few minutes, and the internet and service are spotty and very slow - would not be an ideal spot for anyone who needed reliable internet. Overall, we had an amazing weekend here!

The size of the house was perfect for our group of 6 adults and 3 dogs. The dogs appreciated the open space for playing. We appreciated the open concept so we could still be together even when we were in different rooms. The land was quiet and open with a nice view. The only neighbors we saw were the horses across the yard. The showers had great water pressure. Overall it worked well for what we needed. Down sides in details. The only entertainment was the TV. We didn't see any games, cards, books, etc. Decorations were sparce. Even the candles in the fireplace were broken (looked like someone burned tea lights in top of the LED candles. Those should be completely replaced, btw) The kitchen wasn't stocked to a capacity that we required. There was plenty of tableware but really lacking in cookware. The cookware that was there was really basic and rather cheap. Would suffice for a couple people cooking, but not good enough for a large group. The spices and condiments were also lacking. Even the salt and pepper shakers were empty. Overall, it worked well for what we needed. Just keep in mind that you'll have to bring everything you need with you.

We had a great and wonderful time in this great cozy location. We had a slight water issue but Todd and Michelle were very quick , and responsive and took care of everything immediately. We look forward going back and staying again. Everything was neat and clean when we got there. We loved waking up every morning with the horses next door. If you considering a place to stay with children I highly recommend this place. Our entire group gave this location an A+.

We really enjoyed our stay! The check in process was easy. The location was central to getting to both Seneca Lake and Keuka with our boats. The place was very spacious with excellent views. Overall it was a great stay!

Our family had a wonderful time at the Rise and Wine property. The location was centrally located along Route 14 with access to multiple wineries around Seneca Lake. The Team at Seneca Lake Getaways was very accommodating and the view of lake was breathtaking.

Wonderful place to stay. Very comfortable and beautiful views. Will definitely stay here again

We very much enjoyed our stay here. The location was good and the view of the sunrises over Lake Seneca was beautiful. The living area is good for larger groups. There is a slightly musty smell and the oven and some of the drawers could use some cleaning attention. Over all it is a great little place and I would stay there again!

I stayed here with my parents and brother and we very much enjoyed the layout, the interaction with the horses next door, and the lovely view. However, a few aspects need to be addressed by the owner, and as they couldn’t possibly be new issues, they need to be listed here: 1) The coffee maker barely works. It takes 30-45 to brew 8 cups of coffee. No exaggeration. 2) The mattresses are inexcusably bad, and probably 20-30 years old. They’ve caved in and if you roll over, the noise is loud enough to wake a partner. 3) The internet is reminiscent of dial up speed. Your 5g connection much is faster. This needs to be updated. 4) There’s a mild musty smell inside. And it’s not the horses, which again, are a treat.

Great view, great location, great open floor plan , great communication

Our family get together was enhanced by the open floorplan of this house. The view from the back deck was serene. Our granddaughters enjoyed watching the neighbor's horses frolic and there was plenty of room to run. The adults appreciated the easy access to many wineries. Go to Ports Cafe for dinner...excellent food and service!!!

Had a great time. Would use this property again!

We had a great girls weekend! The house is incredibly spacious! The kitchen is great for cooking and entertaining. We cooked a nice meal one night and then went to Ports Cafe for dinner the next. Morning coffee on the big deck looking at the lake was amazing!! It was a great weekend and we look forward to coming back again.

Thank you so much for a wonderful vacation. The house was beautiful, warm and inviting. We happened to hit the peak of the falls colors, a sight that is only understood if seen in person. I could have stayed in the house all week. It had a breathtaking view of the sunrise over the lake, a spectacular view of the next door neighbors horses as well as very close to wineries. It gave us an opportunity to enjoy my family for the week. we really enjoyed ourselves.

We had a group of 9 women stay in this beautiful home for the Wine and Cheese weekend. Everything is newly updated and beautiful inside. Only complaint would be that we were scheduled for 9 people and there were only towels for 8, also 9th person had to sleep on a blow up mattress since there are only 4 bedrooms. I would say this house is more suited for a max of 8 people but would highly recommended it. Close to wineries and easy to find. The owner was very nice and easy to work with.
