Recent Seneca Lake vacation rental reviews

Beautiful place and very clean. We enjoyed our stay and enjoyed visiting all the wineries.
Christine T. | Apr 2024
Home Amenities were amazing.
Preston E. | Apr 2024
This home is beautiful! It's a large farmhouse with a lot of history inside and an incredible lake view from the front porch. We walked over to the winery next door for a tasting and went home with several bottles! It's about 15 minutes from the nearest towns, so it was easy enough to get groceries for our stay. Everything inside was clean and well maintained for a house that old. The furniture is comfortable, the rooms are spacious, and almost every room has its own temperature control! Some things to be aware of: 1. There is no dishwasher, but dishwashing supplies were provided. 2. Parents of infants and young kids, be aware that there's no crib! There is, however, plenty of space in the master bedroom to set up a pack and play. Also, the high chair that they have (I think it's visible in the virtual tour) is pretty big and open-- it looks like it's designed for toddlers; it did not work for my friends' ~6 month old. 3. The farmhouse is right off of highway 14 with traffic traveling 55mph. There is noise from the traffic, especially when semis go by. It isn't noisy like being in a city, but if you're looking for peace and quiet, it might not be as quiet as you'd expect. Overall, we had a wonderful time. It worked perfectly for our group of friends and we do plan to come back!

Where is Seneca Lake?

Not only is it the longest of the Finger Lakes, but on a map, Seneca Lake hangs in the middle of its counterparts like the pendant on a necklace. It’s just over 250 miles west of New York City, and 120 east of Buffalo. Our lake house rentals are peppered around its 75 miles of shoreline, providing easy access to all the region has to offer.

Things to do near your Seneca Lake rental

Spend a day on the green at one of the area's multiple golf courses, like Big Oak Golf Course in Geneva. This 18-hole course offers club and golf cart rentals for the perfect, stress-free day. If you’re looking for some faster-paced entertainment, Watkins Glen International Raceway—or “The Glen,” as locals say—hosts races and concerts. It was once the host of the Formula One United States Grand Prix for 20 years.

There are over 100 wineries in the Finger Lakes, and the Seneca Lake area is home to dozens of wineries on its own. Perhaps the most famous hiking spot is Watkins Glen State Park on the southern end of Seneca Lake. Spend one day here and you’ll see why it’s a crowd favorite. While there is much to love about Seneca Lake, visitors who flock to the area, again and again, cite two draws in particular: the world-class wine and unparalleled outdoors.

There’s really no way to go wrong with a trip to the Finger Lakes. But if you’re searching for a quieter escape, with more access to the outdoors and a laid-back feel, consider one of our Seneca Lake vacation rentals. You’ll have everything you need for your most tranquil getaway yet. Browse our collection today and start planning your next trip.
