Fabulous long weekend!
We had a great long weekend at buttonwood. Meg was great with communication and very responsive. The house was stocked with items that you could use at the lake such as life vests, noodles, and water shoes. The location was great only be 15-20 from most places. Would definitely come back!

About the host

Hosted by Meg Bucello

Host profile image
Hello! Glenn & I have loved coming to the Finger Lakes & wine country since the very early 90's when we were first dating. It has long been our dream to own a home on Seneca lake. Hosting a VRBO and sharing this beautiful home is part of our next journey. We hope you love the views & area it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

The location of "The Buttonwood" is in the heart of the wineries on the West side of Seneca Lake only 10 minutes from Watkins Glen. Specifically, having 4 acres of trees, nature, and the amazing views of the lake is perfect! We love the private road, dock & stream. The location is perfect distance to Geneva, Glenora (5 minutes)Watkins Glen State Park (10 minutes), the Speedway, Cornell, Corning Glass Factory and the plethora of vineyards & breweries.

What makes this property unique

This house feels large because of the soaring ceilings. Its homage to nature and the lake is apparent in the view provided by the large raised deck & floor to ceiling windows! The long time home owner used this home to paint. You can see why when you come to stay!
