Enjoyed staying in a well maintained and updated 100 year old house which was somewhat similar to our Sears catalog house many years ago. Property was in good shape, plenty of information about the area, wineries, restaurants, etc. Some noise from main highway but quickly got used to it. Will readily consider this property on our next Finger Lakes visit!

The Blue House was fantastic! Very clean, updated and comfortable. We were there for the Ironman 2026 and the location could not have been better. The venue was on the same stretch of road. The host was timely and informative with all communication with easy to follow instructions. They had a nice write up about the area with sine of their personal favorite places to eat and drink which was very helpful. There was plenty of space and amenities to make our stay comfortable and allow our family to be and celebrate together. I would definitely recommend this host and his property. I will be booking again if my son decides to try and beat his finish time.

Phenomenal host who communicates in a way that is both rapid and facile. Beautiful and well appointed home. Bedrooms are lovely - sleep will be restorative on the very comfortable beds and terrific pillows. The living room seating has lived a great long life and is due for a refresh but the sunroom leather couch is amazing and very comfortable. The kitchen is thoughtfully stocked. Everything you could need is here. The solitary bathroom is modern and linens are generous. There is nothing lacking in this home. Temperature control was terrific esp since one of our days there was super hot and humid - the house was a chilled, cool and comfortable reprieve. The location is perfect for a trip to the Finger Lakes - a fast few minutes to Seneca Lake Park, Geneva downtown and fifteen minutes to Seneca Falls. If you go to downtown Geneva we highly recommend dinner at Forno Woodfired!!! We explored and had an exceptional best friends weekend. We can’t wait to come back! Thank you Dennis and Theresa for a truly restorative and wonderful weekend!

Convenient and Peaceful!

We chose to stay at this house because of its convenient location. We are so happy we did. Even though the house was built 100 years ago, the property is so well maintained and modernized ( kitchen and bathroom). It’s very clean and easy to get to the places we were planning on visiting. Dennis is super friendly and easy to communicate with. We really enjoyed our family time here together!

We are happy the location and amenities worked well for our guest and his family. The Blue House is about as central to the Finger Lakes Region as you can get. The E, W, N, and S connections are close by. This region is one of the largest in New York State. Once you have visited, you’ll want to explore more.

It's A Wonderful House

We were in town to attend the It's A Wonderful Life festival in Seneca Falls, and we used the Blue House as a home base for our extended weekend. The house was beautiful and welcoming; large and comfortable for our "down time" between activities. Dennis was a great host, checking in on us beforehand to make sure everything was fine. We hope to return to the area, and certainly hope to return to the Blue House when we're there!

The house was immaculate and very spacious. I loved the old house. The renovations were tastefully done while keeping the original architecture. Everything was easy to find. I loved the mini dishwasher and the furnishings were top notch. The internet was great as i needed high speed for work. Dennis was also very attentive to any questions and hecwas so kind to clean the driveway of snow and even cleared off my car so i could checkout quicker. I would definitely stay again and would recommend his house to others.

Excellent location and super clean

Located conveniently to go anywhere around Seneca Lake, from Geneva area and down to the Watkins Glen area. We drove down the east coast and up the west coast of the lake touring wineries, breweries, hiking, and great places to eat along the way and in Geneva! Very dog friendly patios too! Blue house was excellent location, super clean, comfortable for 4 adults and a medium size dog. Kitchen was great space with appliances, and anything you’d need for a weekend. Beds were comfortable and shower/washroom was very clean! Upstairs bedrooms were warm due to high humidity outside. Hoste had ceiling fans in bedrooms to help move air conditioning into the bedrooms from the hallway and provided an extra stand up fan to make it more comfortable. All in all a great stay and fun weekend!!
