Fantastic Summer Stay!

My family and I had a fantastic time once again at this beautiful lake house! The location is right on beautiful Seneca Lake and is super close to the wineries/breweries. Matt was always available if we had questions and the house was very clean. We loved our stay!

Fourth Annual Stay at Herbst Hideaway

Our annual stay at this property is always a winner. The place is always clean and extremely well-stocked. The location is very central to all FLX activities. Our group of 4 couples begins to plan our next visit before we even check out! Highly recommend.

Family Vacation

The house provided our family with a bedroom for each of us. The kitchen was fully equipped to allow us to cook breakfast and dinner every day. The living area was adequate so we could gather to chat & play games. Sunrise was stunning!

Weekend Getaway

The house was just as described! Beautiful, clean and very well stocked! We were able to enjoy the fire pit in the evening and our son got a little fishing in from the dock. This was a short weekend getaway for some of our family. We all would love to go back and spend more time enjoying the area and time at this lakefront home! Thank you !

Great lakeside visit

This home is spotless, well-stocked and sized perfectly for our group of 4 couples. The view is fantastic and the location’s proximity to wineries and breweries is terrific. This was our 3rd annual trip to this property and we are already planning our return for year 4!

Finger Lakes vacation

I was impressed with our stay at Herbst’s Hidaway. The house was spacious and clean. The kitchen was full loaded with all that you would need. We enjoyed sitting out on the dock to enjoy the sunrise and sunset. Plenty of chairs inside and out. I would recommend this house to anyone and book this house again.

Exceptional Stay: A Perfect Blend of Comfort, Convenience, and Surprises

Had a fantastic week. The house was excellent. Super clean and fully stocked with all amenities. The integrated sound system was a huge hit - and completely unexpected. Location mid-lake was ideal to explore breweries and wineries north and south. How cool are the Adirondack chairs on the dock with the wine glass holders!

Another amazing stay at Herbst Hideaway! My family, friends and I enjoyed the beautiful sunrises, hanging out on the dock, kayaking and the close proximity to the wineries and breweries.

Overall great place

Beautiful house right on the lake. View was gorgeous. House was clean, bedding was very comfortable, kitchen well stocked with everything we needed. The only drawback was the drive into the property. We didn’t know it was 2 miles off the road on an unpaved road. That did not deter us. We still loved it and I still highly recommend it. We had a wonderful time with our family.

Very clean and great sunrise over the lake. Adult and kid kayaks and paddle boat were used everyday. We even caught a fish while relaxing in the paddle boat. There were numerous wineries and breweries not far from the house
