About this property

Seneca Lake spacious 5-bedroom chalet. A FEW FALL WEEKENDS STILL AVAILABLE!

From our wooded location in the heart of the Seneca Lake Wine Trail, enjoy the beautiful lake and sunset views from our totally rebuilt 700 + sq. ft. deck. Or enjoy a glass of wine on our lower deck off the downstairs bedrooms, while watching the boats on the water or your crew play basketball, volleyball or pickle ball on our 40' x 60' blacktop play area.

This five bedroom, three bath year-round home sleeps 8 - 10 and features a high ceiling great room with wood floors and a fireplace. Two bedrooms and two baths are conveniently located on the main floor. Upstairs includes a large bedroom/playroom and sitting loft, spectacular lake views, which overlooks the great room. The walkout ground floor features two bedrooms, a full bath, and a family room.

The fully stocked kitchen is ready for the chefs among you and has all the appliances, dishes, cutlery, and glasses you will need. The house has central air conditioning & ceiling fans in all rooms.

Our play area is private to the few houses on our private road and is also a great place for the kids to ride their scooters, play games, or just run wild. Our beach access is a short 300-yard walk downhill and has a deck for you to enjoy sitting at the water’s edge.

We are located in Hector, NY, just eight miles north of Watkins Glen, on the east side of Seneca Lake. Our community is filled with wineries, breweries, restaurants, small shops, hiking trails and waterfalls. The vibrant college town of Ithaca is a short distance away.

After a day visiting the 11 wineries within a few miles, or hiking in Watkins Glen or the Finger Lakes National Forest, escape to this quiet getaway to enjoy a glass of New York wine on the deck, read a book. visit with friends, or roast marshmallows at our side yard fire pit.

Host was a wonderful communicator, made sure our check in and check out was smooth and easy. House is beautiful, very clean and plenty of room. There were ten of us. We didn't spend much time outside as it was too cold but the deck with a view is wonderful!Parking is a little tricky if you have more than two cars, just fyi. Water had a sulfur smell at first but after running it between cooking and showers it was fine. Would definitely recommend it to others!

Wonderfully comfortable

This was a great place for myself and 5 friends. It is spacious, well maintained, and beautifully furnished with a great view. Everything one needs in the kitchen is there. A good location for visiting the many wineries. The owner is very accommodating also.

This chalet was the ideal base for our bachelorette weekend in Hector's Wine Country. The property was precisely as advertised, and we found everything to be in perfect order. Paul was great with communication leading up to our stay, and fortunately, we didn't need to reach out during our trip. The self check-in was particularly convenient, especially with multiple people arriving at different times. We loved the stunning views of Seneca Lake from the property and only wish we could have extended our stay beyond the weekend.

Excellent Location

We had our family get together at this beautiful Chalet. 6 adults and 2 children. There was an unusual heat wave during our stay so we didn’t spend much time at the pickleball court but is was nice. The A/C worked fine and kept us cool. The huge upper deck was great for sitting outdoors when it cooled down. We found a hidden gem close to the property called “Here” which serves breakfast and lunch Fri- Mon. The only thing I want to mention is the small parking area at the bottom of a narrow driveway. We had 3 cars so we ended up having to either back in or back out when parking at the bottom. Also the private beach is not adjacent to the property but that was not a problem for us since it was simply too hot to use. We had a great time at this clean and well stocked property.
We backed in down the driveway.
Great pickleball court.
Great new upper deck that wraps around to the back.

Lovely location close to many wineries and an easy drive to Watkins Glen or Ithaca. Plenty of beds, seating and a large kitchen. Enjoyed the fire pit. We had two issues (water and plumbing) which were inconvenient for us, but Paul was easy to communicate with and quick to address them.
