About this property

Lakefront House on Seneca Lake

This inviting lakefront home is perfect for families. The large, private, fenced in yard keeps toddlers from going to the lake. The porch swing on the deck is a great place to watch awesome sunsets.

The house has spacious rooms and comfortable furniture. The great room has a fireplace and built in bookshelves that are full of books and games. Basic cable TV and wireless internet are available too. The kitchen is fully equipped with dishes, utensils and small appliances and dishwasher. The table in the dining area off the great room seats 8. Sunny breakfasts are delightful on the cozy, knotty pine porch.

The upstairs has 3 bedrooms with views of the lake and a 1/2 bath. One bedroom has 2 antique twins; another has a queen and 2 twins. The third is a small bedroom with 1 twin bed. The downstairs bedroom has a double bed and is near the bathroom.

The Bunkhouse is available as extra sleeping space. It has it’s own powder room and a set of bunk beds, but is not winterized. The bunkhouse 1/2 bath is available May through October.

The stairs to the lake are lit with solar lamps. Our waterfront includes a deck, a 50 ft long L shaped dock, and a swimming beach. You can use the canoe and swim to the raft (note - raft available between Memorial Day and Labor Day). The lake is about 5 ft. deep at the raft. Seneca Lake has excellent fishing and boating, with marina’s nearby to rent all types of boats. Cookout on the gas grill and roast marshmallows on the firepit. There is parking for 4 cars.

If you've been here as a guest of our renter, please mention it to us if you want to rent it yourself.

This was the PERFECT lake front house!!My husband & I stayed here with 2 other couples in October. The house was very clean and extremely well stocked. Chuck & Chris answered all of our questions promptly. This was a great location for us to tour wineries on both the east and west side of Seneca Lake. The sunsets are gorgeous!

We had the best time at Chris and Chuck's lake house. The house is well stocked and they have put so much thought into what guests might need. The house was clean, comfortable, and the perfect place for children (infants and toddlers) on vacation. The swing, sports equipment, firepit, and toys made our children's vacation special. We had a wonderful time there, and you will too!

We came here on a joint bachelor/bachelorette lowkey weekend and had the best time! The rooms and house were all very clean and had so much character and charm! The views of the lake the house comes with is absolutely breathtaking! We enjoyed every bit of the property and had such a fun time! Chuck and Chris were always available if we needed to contact them and we hope to stay again as our group wants to make this a tradition!

We had a wonderful time. The beach is right down the steps, but you can enjoy the water from the porch and multiple rooms in the house. The house was very comfortable. I can’t think of anything we needed that wasn’t right there.
