About this property

Top of the Fingerlakes, relaxing retreat.

Perfectly efficient setup, in a nice neighborhood, that’s in the middle of everything, right at the North end of Seneca lake. 3 minutes from the lake, 5 minutes from downtown Geneva, or 5 minutes from downtown Waterloo. If you're interested, ask about our bicycle and outdoor game rentals.. Hot-tub is no longer available.
The space
It’s a cozy place to crash, and relax after enjoying the area. Make some s’mores over a campfire in the backyard, grill dinner and hangout on the back deck, enjoy the WiFi or find something to watch on the tv via the fire stick ect...
Guest access
The out buildings (garage, and both sheds) are off limits. There is also a spare room in the basement that I keep my belongings in. Please do not attempt to access that room.

Other things to note:

If you are traveling with a pet or pets, there is an additional cleaning fee.

We also charge a $250 security deposit to first time VRBO users. On a rare occasion someone may very briefly visit the property, at a reasonable hour, just to retrieve something from the garage or shed out back

Finger Lakes getaway

This little house was the perfect place for the two of us to stay while visiting the Finger Lakes region. It is only a short drive away from the top of Lake Seneca and close to Seneca Falls. Very cute cottage feel and comfortable bed Nate was very attentive and communicated all details needed. We would definitely stay here again.

Cute little bungalo

We enjoyed our stay at Nathaniel's little house. It was clean and neat. Easy to get in and out. Good location for our purposes. Close to Geneva with lots of restaurant choices was a plus too. Nathaniel was very responsive to questions.

Perfect cottage getaway

This place is exactly as advertised. The cottage is spotless, and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. There was even coffee, sugar and assorted creamers, which was a nice touch. Nate was communicative and easygoing. We will definitely be back.

We had an amazing stay at this property! It had everything we could ask for! It was extremely clean and very well stocked. Nathaniel even gave us coffee pods and creamer, toilet paper and hand soap. The fenced in yard was great for our two dogs and Nathaniel thought of everything because he even had dog bowls there in case we forgot ours. We didn’t end up needing them, but it was nice to know that it was there in case we did need it. This was a perfect spot to stay at the top of Seneca Lake while we visited the finger, lakes wineries in the area and beautiful beautiful Seneca Lake Park. We wish we had a little more time to spend there! But next time…. Nathaniel was the perfect host and was right on top of any questions we had. We can’t wait to visit again! Definitely recommend!

Great fire pit that we enjoyed in the evening.

Our little getaway

The house was very clean and cozy. The host welcomed us. He actually called on the phone. He asked us if we had any questions. There was quite a bit of extras ex: coffee, creamer,milk. He messaged me to tell us he needed to cut the grass so we actually got to meet him. Let’s just say he is very personable and welcoming. I definitely will stay here again.

Disappointing

This house and outdoor furniture was not well-maintained. It needed a deep clean and replacement of deck furniture and some living room furniture. Bathroom needed updating.

Clean and convenient

We only stayed one night on our travels but it was a very comfortable and clean spot to rest. I appreciated having a fenced-in area for our dog to stretch and relax off-leash. There was a notebook full of good information about the house, places to eat, and things to do in the area. I found him extremely responsive to my questions. If traveling through Geneva again I would certainly stay there.

Perfect Location!

Our stay was wonderful. You can tell the owners put a lot into making their home a friendly place for people going to wineries in the area! The host was kind and helpful, and the house was perfectly located between Geneva and Zugibe Vineyards! I would definitely stay here again :)
