About this property

Perfect location! Sunrises over Seneca. Minutes from the wineries. Pet Friendly.

Welcome to our Finger Lakes retreat.

Watch the sun rise over Lady Seneca from the wall of windows at the front of the house and enjoy a glass of local wine and the stunning sunsets from the back. Located across the street from Ravines Vineyards, 5 min from Hobart & William Smith Colleges, and less than 2 miles from the lake, this house is perfectly situated for whatever kind of getaway you're looking for. From hiking Watkins Glen State Park to see the waterfalls to hitting Bristol Aerial Adventures with the kids to heading in to downtown Geneva for a one-of-a-kind dinner at FLX Table, there is no shortage of things to do and you are right in the middle of all of it at Sunrise Over Seneca.

This house is perfect for families, girls weekends, wedding parties, or just a weekend getaway. With a huge eat-in kitchen and large outdoor patio, it makes it easy to accommodate a group. Leave the doors open and enjoy the breeze...and the view. The wine barrel bistro table is the perfect place for a quiet morning coffee, and the bedrooms are designed for a "comfy cozy" stay. Traveling with your fur babies? No problem! Our back acre is fenced in, and we invite up to two of your furry friends to stay with you.

We strive to make your time with us memorable - from recommendations to reservations - if we can help, we will!

**We do offer discounts for active duty military and full month stays. Please submit an inquiry to ask about rates before booking.**

The property is roomy, immaculate and well fenced in for pet travelers. Plenty of space as our dogs to run and roam. The kitchen was very functional but a bit dated. Close to all attractions and we had a very pleasant stay. All the amenitites were well provisioned for our stay. Definitely rent again.

The property is lovely. The house is spacious. The kitchen is well appointed enough for basics. The town is so close for shopping and basic needs. We were treated to the first snow of the season when we were there. Go to Kindred Fare. The restaurant is a must try!The shower in the master bedroom isn’t as powerful as the one in the hallway. But this place is very cozy.

About the host

Hosted by Pat and Jess Greenwood

Host profile image
Hi there! We're the Greenwoods, and we're so excited you decided to stay with us! As a military family, we've traveled all over, but fell in love with the Finger Lakes and are hoping to eventually make this our permanent home. We love the outdoors - hiking, paddleboarding, kayaking, running, biking, diving - you name it, and at least one of us has done it! We have doggos and kiddos and know how crazy it is to travel with both. We love to host and are happy to share our home away from home with you.

Why they chose this property

Stay for one night and watch the sun rise from the adirondack chairs out front and the sun set from the kitchen and you'll know why. When we turn in to the drive, our whole family breathes easy. Seneca Lake is such a serene place to just be and this property offers the space, safety, and sun show that is a renewal every time. We also love the proximity to the lake, to Geneva and Watkins Glen, and to the growing quality in the wine, beer, and spirits industry here. It's an amazing place to explore! Ask us, and we'll be happy to share our favorite spots!
