About this house rental

Located in Seneca Lake, this charming house for £984 per night is a fantastic choice for your next trip. Welcome to our newly constructed, spacious timber frame lake home on Seneca Lake. We oriented the house so that there are spectacular views from every room. It sleeps up to 16 people comfortably including kids with a 22 x 40 foot great room, including an oversized dining table, gourmet kitchen, spacious living room, an attached 14 x 45 foot deck, and recreation room with a huge sofa, gas fire place and television. We also have a large outdoor table and lounge chairs/sofas for comfortable dining al fresco. This property is unique because it can host multiple families with children. There are two master bedrooms with their own bathrooms and two bedrooms on the lower level that share a bath, but have easy access to the lake through sliding glass doors. There is also a bunk room over the garage with its own bathroom. The bunks are oversized (double mattresses) and can easily sleep two children per bed. Our lake house is also perfect for a small wedding or family reunion. The 1,000 foot slate patio that hovers 15 feet above the shore will remind you of a scaled-down roman amphitheater, with picture perfect views of the lake and the spectacular sunset. For more casual outdoor activities, the dock is big enough to seat all the sunbathers, swimmers and boating aficionados in your group. It's also an excellent spot to watch the sun set or have a picnic dinner. We are fortunate enough to have 150 feet of private lake frontage, with a large dock system. There is a boat lift to park a personal boat on the dock. There is a marina in Watkins Glen which is a ten minute boat ride to the south that offers transit docking and the ability to rent a boat for your vacation. Our location is ideal for many reasons. For our guests that want to try regional wines, beers and ciders, the Lake House is conveniently located on the Finger Lakes Wine Trail, walking distance to two of the most renowned wineries in the region. It's also close to some of the best hiking in western New York. If you like waterfalls and gorges, don't leave without a visit to Watkins Glen State Park, Buttermilk Falls State Park, Treman State Park and Taughannock State Park. These parks are exceptionally beautiful in the fall, when the leaves are turning color. We are also minutes by car or boat from the small town of Watkins Glenn, which was awarded 3rd Best Small Towns for Adventure by USA Today. Cyclist will find no shortage of challenging terrain. And skiers/snowboarders can easily access Greek Peak in the winter months for exceptional down hill and cross country adventures. The property is also a great place for people who appreciate cars, with its close proximity to the Watkins Glen International Race Track. Foodies will not be disappointed, either. There are many farm to table restaurants nearby, as well as breweries and distilleries that serve light fare. We also collaborate with an executive chef who will make herself available if you need a hand in the kitchen or wish to cater a special event. She also offers private cooking lessons in the Lake House kitchen, followed up with a meal that you helped prepare. Let us know if you are interested in Sam's services and we'll connect you. You won't be disappointed. Find more information here: www.simplyredevents.com and read the reviews of guests that have used Sam's services. Don't forget your binoculars. Birders will love sitting on the deck in the morning and watching the bald eagles land on the tree-tops nearby or the blue herons soar across the lake. And last but not least, the architectural details of this industrial modern house built on the side of a cliff, along with views of the lake from almost every window, provides a tranquil spot to rest and rejuvenate.

The house was fantastic…pictures do not do it justice. We were a group of 10 adults (5 couples) who were looking to relax and enjoy the fall foliage and a few wineries. Glenn and Lynn are incredible hosts and have thought of every amenity and detail. Their home is warm and welcoming and the pottery throughout the house adds a very personal touch. The views of the lake are spectacular and the location is central to Watkins Glenn, parks, wineries, breweries and restaurants. The dock, the fire pit and patio and the decks provide for plenty of outdoor space and entertainment. We highly recommend this property and hope to come back!

This house is amazing! Very clean, wells rocks for all of your needs and comfortable beds. The water pressure is very low if any toilet or shower is running simultaneously - this is common for lake side water systems. Regardless - we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Great access to the wineries and Watkins Glen State Park and town. The owner was very responsive with questions. A very special trip and home in the finger lakes

We very much enjoyed our family trip to the Finger Lakes area (our first time in Finger Lakes!). The house was beautiful...exactly as the pictures show. Plenty of room for our group (8 adults and two small children). Location was great. Beautiful views of the lake from the deck. SO many wineries and fantastic waterfall hikes within a short drive. Communication with the host was easy. Things to be aware of: (1) If you are used to central a/c, they have the individual room wall units in some of the rooms, which don't really cool the rooms or remove the humidity, especially in the upper rooms with the afternoon sun. (2) The house is on well water and uses a pump to get the water to the house. Not nearly enough water pressure for the number of people that the house can fit. At most, two people could shower at the same time (only one if staying in the top bedroom). Had to time running dishwasher/washing machine when not home or when everyone done with showers. Other than that, a great place to stay!

This house was incredible! Stocked with everything you could possibly need. We had a wonderful time and felt right at home. Whether sitting on the deck or by the lake, you can't beat the views. It was so nice to have access to the kayaks, canoe, and paddle boards, and we utilized them all week long. The whole house and experience made us feel spoiled for the week.
