Below the Vineyard: \"Ideal Lakeside Retreat\"
About this cottage rental
Located in Seneca Lake, this lovely cottage for $401 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. This spectacular 6 bedroom house is positioned on the Seneca Lake Wine Trail. Below the Vineyard is located on the eastern banks of Seneca Lake, just below stunning acres of vineyards. This property has it all: a beautiful chef's kitchen, huge open concept main floor, 6 comfortable, private bedrooms, 4 full washrooms, and an oversized dock on the awe-inspiring Seneca Lake, close proximity to wineries, breweries, hiking, the quaint town of Watkins Glen and the Watkins Glen International Speedway. As you descend the stairs to enter the home, you will feel at peace at your lakeside oasis. The entry level of the house is equipped with 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths. Immediately inside the front door is a bedroom furnished with a day bed and trundle, just across the hall from a full, 4 piece washroom. Down the hall is a bedroom furnished with a queen bed and a beautiful view of the lake. Continuing down the hall is the first master suite, which is outfitted with a queen bed and a private, full 4 piece washroom. To finish off the entry level of the home is a stunning loft bedroom that overlooks the sunroom, with breathtaking views of the lake. This bedroom is equipped with a queen bed, a new crib (27.5" x 52" crib mattress) and a new glider recliner for rocking the little ones to sleep. Just down the staircase you enter the main floor. This open concept floor plan is perfect for family gatherings! It includes a custom gourmet chef's kitchen, complete with stainless steel appliances, a wine refrigerator, custom maple cabinets and beautiful quartz countertops. The enormous, farm-style dining table is ideal for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, set in front of a massive wall of windows to thoroughly enjoy the view of Seneca Lake. The open concept main floor continues into the gathering areas, with an oversized leather sectional sofa which provides a great place to watch the game or a movie on a large flat screen TV, or just play board games with the family. Need more seating? No problem. The main floor continues into a spacious sunroom, complete with two full sofas and a comfortable reading chair to make this vaulted ceiling room the next best thing to being outside. Discreetly tucked away behind the great room is a quiet queen bedroom with a mounted, flat screen television. This bedroom is directly across the vestibule from the main floor, full 4 piece washroom. The final master suite is down one more set of stairs on the ground floor, and is a private lakeside retreat! This suite has a queen bed, 3 piece bathroom with shower, and its own walk-out access to the lake. The ground floor is also equipped with a full sized washer and dryer. The outside living space rivals the inside. Below the Vineyard has two covered porches! The lake level patio has a comfortable Amish-made porch swing, two large tables with enough seating for 12, a bar with additional seating and a propane grill. The 2nd level deck is an extension of the main floor. It has a large table and comfortable patio chairs to watch the boats go by and the gorgeous sunsets. A nice feature on the main floor deck is the latching gate to keep the little ones safely contained in a beautiful, covered area while the older kids play in the lake. Don't want to sit under cover? Pull one of the chaise lounges out onto the lush green lawn, or better yet, out onto the oversized dock. The water depth ranges from ankle deep at the lake wall, to approximately 5 feet deep at the ladder, and quickly goes to 10+ feet at the edge of the dock. From this dock, your guests can swim, kayak, fish, or have a front row seat for the best sunsets on Seneca. Below the Vineyard is within 3 miles of 10 wineries, 2 microbreweries, and several fine restaurants! ** Bring bottled water for drinking.** PLEASE NOTE*** Below the Vineyard is not pet friendly, as the owners have strong allergies to pet dander.

Property is right on the lake. House was very clean and spacious. We had 6 couples. One bedroom was very small but all others were great. Kitchen had everything we needed. Driveway is long but wasn’t an issue for us. Parking for four cars only.

Staying at this property was incredible! There’s nothing quite like waking up, sliding that screen door open, and stepping out to enjoy the gorgeous view with your coffee. The kitchen has everything we would need cooking wise, but doesn’t come with oil, salt/pepper, or any food items—so be aware! The common rooms were the perfect place to enjoy each other’s company and play games. The location is IDEAL if you’re planning to visit any wineries. We made our way to quite a few, and all of you have to do is choose a direction and there are many at your fingertips. Overall, 10/10 stay!

We enjoyed our stay. The home was updated and very clean. They had everything we needed. The view was amazing too!
There were 10 of us and everyone agreed it was a great home. The only suggestion we would have would be to address the creaky floors. Everyone could hear others walking on the top floor. Otherwise it was perfect. Thanks!

This house and location is perfect for anyone looking for a Finger Lake’s getaway at Seneca Lake! We went on a girls’ trip and everything was great. The view of the lake from the kitchen/dining room was incredible, and the house was beautiful! It’s also really accessible to so many wineries and things to do, and the dock is perfect for lake day hangouts! The only issue we ran into was with the fridge. It never got cold enough for our items, and when I communicated with the rental on the issue I never heard back. Everything else, and all other communication, was perfect though! Highly recommend!

A group of friends stayed at this property and had a great time! It's right on the lake and in a great location! Can be hard to find so I recumbent using Google Maps (over Apple Maps). The driveway is very steep but we didn't have trouble fitting 5-6 cars. They do not provide anything in the kitchen food-wise, so I would recommend bringing seasoning and condiments. I would definetly stay again!

Great place for family and friends to get away. Newly updated and right on the lake. Everything was clean upon arrival and the decor fit perfectly. A place for everyone to sit inside and out.

This property was perfect for hosting a birthday trip outside of the city. The lakeside property had the perfect amount of sleeping quarters for each couple, and adequate space to relax, talk, and play games. We enjoyed waking up to the view every morning, and seeing the stars at night. Exploring wineries in the area was also a highlight of our trip! We would definitely come back to this area in the future.

We loved every detail of this gorgeous home. It’s beautifully decorated, updated, and clean. There are so many spaces for relaxing, from the big sunny living room to the comfy outdoor furniture and the porch swing. And you can’t beat the views, which are just as spectacular from inside the house as they are outside. We’d definitely stay again!

Great view of the lake, but you need to bring some stuff with yourself!
Great view of the lake, and it is a very nice and clean property. The only issue that we faced is that there were no shampoos/body wash, just 2 dishwasher detergent tabs, just two extra trash plastic bags. Remember to bring these stuff with yourself!

Nice place, great views No Cancellation during a pandemic is Horrible
I was very dissapointed that the owner refused to refund or move the trip to next year due to COVID. During this national pandemic where people were advised to not gather with people outside your family, and this trip was for a group of unrelated people traveling from different states for a reunion. I was unable to go due to health issies and was advised to not travel due to covid, so i lost my part of the rental cost.
But the refusal during a pandemic, to be flexible, has made me never want to go thru this rental again. If it was not during a world wide pandemic, having a no cancellation policy is your perogative. But during a pandemic, this was horrible.
The place was nice i heard, with beautiful views, access to the lake, and all the comforts needed.
But renter beware. No flexibility to move rental or cancel, even when people are dying from this disease.

Nice Place
A few glitches in checking in. No sheets or towels until 8:00 PM Broken screen to the deck.
The big disappointment was the beach. The picture showed lake access from the beach to the water however to find out it was the neighbor's property was disappointing. Lots of seaweed hard for kids and adults to swim. Loved the big dock and deck.
: Loved the Lake House. Beautiful kitchen family room and bedrooms . Over all it was a good experience but not great.

Lovely Weekend in the Finger Lakes
We loved our stay in the Finger Lakes, and the property was stunning! The space easily accommodated our group of ten, and we enjoyed the coziness of the fireplace, views and the spaciousness. We are interested in returning to this home in the future - perhaps during the summer or fall! The only issue we ran into was the house is down a steep hill before you hit the steps to get into the place. This could be a serious issue for folks needing mobility assistance.

Needed a place to accommodate 12 people and this place was perfect. Just as beautiful in person as in the pictures.

April 2019 Stay
When we arrived at 4:00 to get in, our code did not work. We had to call to get the code reset. That was in convenient.
We called maintenance to come and turn on the fire places - they were very nice and professional.
The towels and sheets were great to have here so we did not have to bring them with us.
The property was a great location for us! The view was fantastic.
It would have been nice to have directions on how to use the fireplace and to have directions/list of TV channels and how to use TV!
Overall it was fantastic!!
