Heart of the Seneca Lake Wine Trail
About this farm stay rental
Situated in Seneca Lake, this attractive farm stay for $225 per night is a fantastic option for your next vacation. Conveniently located in Hector, NY, on the east side of Seneca Lake. This beautifully renovated farmhouse cottage is bordered by vineyards owned by Hazlitt 1852 Vineyards. During warmer months, enjoy a glass of wine sitting on the large back deck while surrounded by grapevines. In the evenings, enjoy a relaxing evening on the deck around our gas-powered fire pit. The wrap-around front porch provides cool shade and wonderful breeze for hotter days. For winter rentals, the house is fully insulated and heated by a gas furnace, with an electric fireplace for ambiance and a cozy winter stay. Inside you will find hardwood floors throughout the dining and living rooms, a kitchen with a gas range, microwave, dishwasher, and refrigerator with in-the-door ice and water. A few steps down from the kitchen is a cozy sunroom - perfect for morning coffee! The large full bathroom includes a washer and dryer for our guests' convenience. The second floor features two bedrooms with an incredible view of the vineyards and Seneca Lake from the master bedroom. “Hector Vineyard Cottage” sleeps four to six persons – two in each bedroom, and two on the living room futon (with a queen-size mattress). Bedrooms feature two twin beds that can be arranged as separate twins or put together as a king-size bed with a comfy king-size mattress pad - just let us know what you prefer! Other amenities: linens (sheets, pillow cases, blankets, mattress pads) provided. Guests should bring their bath towels. Pack and Play portable playard available. Public water. Charcoal grill (don't forget your charcoal), dishwasher, microwave, coffeemaker and Keurig, toaster, ironing board and iron. Basic paper products supplied. Basic satellite TV service, smart tv, free wifi, and excellent cell coverage area. Hector Wine Company is just across Route 414 – perfect for walking over to enjoy their weekend live music and a glass of wine on their patio. Be sure to check out their artisanal marketplace for fresh, local foods, including meats, cheeses, veggies, and more! Some of Seneca Lake’s best-known wineries and restaurants are all within less than five miles from the cottage including Wagner Vineyards & the Ginny Lee Cafe, Scale House Brewery, Hazlitt 1852 Vineyards, Leidenfrost Vineyards, Stonecat Cafe, Red Newt Wine Cellars & Bistro, Damiani Wine Cellars, Atwater Vineyards, Two Goats Brewing, and Finger Lakes Distilling. Enjoy wine tasting, live music and other “off-hour” events hosted by the wineries and restaurants. Although we do not have lake access, Smith Memorial Park is just 1.5 miles away with a public boat launch, swimming beach, picnic facilities and a small playground. Lodi Point is about 10 minutes north, Clute Memorial Park is 10 minutes south, and Watkins Glen State Park is just 15-20 minutes away.

Great Location, Very clean. Everything you need.

This home overlooking the eastern side of Seneca Lake is perfect for a small group getaway. Nothing fancy, but very comfortable with a stunning view of the lake. Home is well appointed, though a light over the dining room table would help with the darkness when playing games. Stairway to second floor is steep and narrow. Take your time! Kitchen had everything we needed and shower has great pressure. Propane tank for the back deck fire pit was empty and a refill was not available on the southern side of the house as advertised. That was disappointing as early November is a great time for an outdoor fire in the afternoon. Super location, close to Watkins Glen and loads of wineries and breweries.

We had a wonderful time here!! It was great staying next to a working vineyard. We got to hear the canon and birds calls to keep the other birds away. We could see the storms over the lake and the surrounding areas. Really cute house to stay at.
Thank you!!

Really missed towels. We did not read the fine print that towels are not provided. Couldn’t shower for two days. We typically never pack towels when flying out of town for a vacation.

We had a great stay here and loved the location as it was close to many of the wineries we love. We enjoyed the porch, and there was plenty of space to hang out as a group on the back deck. The propane fireplace was great as it was chilly in the evenings we stayed. The beds were comfortable, and everything was clean and organized so it was easy to find what we needed.
The only downside was that there were no towels provided; we didn’t click to "read more" in the the amenities before arrival, but it is there. It just seemed odd becauee at every other AirBnB and VRBO property I've stayed at in the past, bath towels and hand towels for the bathroom are an included amenity. Just something to know before you go in case you tend to read the reviews more closely than the listed amenities. ;)

This was such a great place to stay for graduation. It was beautiful and peaceful. I wish we pack outdoor games but since we were also moving my daughter out we had limited space. We enjoyed a few wineries and a great pizza place all with in 2 minutes of the house. We definitely want to come back and enjoy all the wineries. Thanks so much

Had a wonderful friends weekend! House was nice and clean and welcoming. We did not have time to enjoy the beautiful porch and fire. It has a nice green yard to enjoy with beautiful scenery. Description in listing explains it all. Wonderful host. Thank you!

The property was exactly as stated in the description. Communication with the owner was seamless and we were even provided with a complementary bottle of wine along with discount cards to nearby wineries. The house was very clean and came with anything that we could have needed in the kitchen. Thank you for a great stay!

House was a great place to relax. Good location to visit winiers and other sites near Watkins Glen. Nice house and had the weather allowed it would have been fun to sit on the porch and relax in the evenings.

The house is "perfection"; clean, comfortable, cozy and complete with everything you could want or need!
We were 2 couples, making our 20th semi annual wine tasting trip to the area. The location was perfect for us to visit our favorite wineries and hiking trails on (& around) Seneca Lake.
The only drawback, we found, was that the property is very close to the main road and quite noisy (in spite of very good windows). This was most evident in the front bedroom.
The lake side bedroom and back patio were awesome!

Convenient to the wineries. Very clean and very very equipped with the essentials. Front bedroom was noisy with traffic on the main street. The back deck was great with the fire pit. The view was beautiful .

Was in the Finger Lakes area for the NASCAR race at Watkins Glen International Raceway. Our base at this property was perfect! Wine tasting across the road at Hector Wine Co was the best. Two Goat brewing for a great view and excellent beers. The house was clean, updated and had everything for making a few meals. Will definitely rebook when we are back in the area.

Super cute cottage with great view!
Absolutely awesome experience at this house. We had a fun girls weekend in wine country. The covered front porch and back deck were perfect for relaxing outside and watching the views. The inside was clean, comfy, and had all the amenities you'd need. The host, Jen, was very responsive and accommodating to our needs. Five stars all around!

Charming Cottage Nestled in Rolling Vineyards
My family and I had a wonderful time staying at the Hector Cottage. This was my third time renting in the Finger Lakes region, and this cottage was by far my favorite! The location is perfect, walking distance from Hector Winery and a 5 minute drive to a dozen other wineries and breweries. I can definitely recommend Two Goats Brewery which was open late and had great live music the weekend we were there. At night when the wineries are closed, we could see fireworks from the villages across the lake while drinking wine by the cozy firepit on the back deck. Added bonus was being close to both the Finger Lakes National Forest and Watkins Glen for some weekend day hikes. Even though there was a beautiful view of the rolling vineyards (and the lake from the second story bedroom!), there was also the convenience of having a mini market down the street which had gas and basic groceries/supplies like charcoal for the grill. This rental had so many thoughtful touches: frosted beer mugs, a complimentary bottle of wine, and window AC units which did a great job of keeping the cottage cool in the 100+ degree heat we had the first day of our trip. This is such a special cottage, and I will not hesitate to book again in the future!

This place was on a beautiful piece of land that was so beautiful to sit on the deck at night. The location is perfect! Walking distance to so many places. Jennifer the owner responded so quickly and was so kind. She left us a bottle of wine. The house was very clean and so cute. Perfect for a few people to stay. Plenty of sleeping for 4-5 people.
