Quiet cottage on the lake

The cottage is quaint with everything you need to unwind and relax. The boat dock is fantastic for sunset viewing. The owner was responsive to questions. The grill and patio area made for perfect views while enjoying a meal. Everything was perfect.

Great MDW Stay on Seneca Lake

Our group of girlfriends got together for a weekend stay at this property and we had a great time! The location is ideal for being right on the water, close to wineries, and close to downtown Geneva. We booked a wine tour through Crush and they were able to pick us up right at the house. Overall the place was clean, super cute, and in an ideal spot!

Beautiful location with great views of the lake from the deck and dock. Convenient to many local activities. Check in was frustrating as we arrived an hour early but could not get in unless we paid additional 50. That was silly so we just hung out on the dock. Also, top of fridge needs to be cleaned!

Great family vacation spot

We enjoyed this home - very much. We were a family of 5 and had plenty of room and comfort. The dock and small beach were a great plus. Great location on Seneca lake - close to Geneva and stores/restaurants there. View and sunsets were amazing and we loved using the kayaks. Bicycles were advertised on site description but not available.

Geneva- girls weekend

The property was beautiful with a great view of the lake. Karen went above and beyond, we arrived a bit early and were patiently waiting for the cleaning service to finish when Karen welcomed us with a complementary bottle of wine, glasses and invite to sit on the front patio! Definitely would return

Lake Heaven

Our stay at Pine Ridge was very comfortable. It's a small cottage, but still plenty of space, well maintained and well stocked. There is no Keurig any longer as pictured; only a brew coffee pot. I'm glad I asked before we arrived so we were well prepared. We had a lovely stay on a chilly April weekend. The whole home warmed up nicely with the use of the gas fireplace and the heating unit on the front porch. And we were even greeted by a baby raccoon on Sunday morning! Definitely on a list of places to return to!

Very nice stay

This house is pretty much as described, though the photos don’t show that it is about 20 ft from the house next door. There is a privacy fence but it is definitely not secluded. The views from the porch, upper deck and boathouse are all terrific and we really enjoyed watching the sunset from the comfy adirondacks. Boathouse is very nice and has excellent seating where we had one lovely waterside breakfast. There were no bugs at all, and the lake water is super clean and clear, albeit a tad chilly but still good for swimming. There is 1 tandem ocean kayak and a single as well, plus life jackets. We especially enjoyed the well appointed kitchen with Henkels knives, though we missed having a dishwasher. Sheets and bed in the loft were excellent quality. Bathroom was small and could use an upgrade. It had the only mirror in the entire place, making getting ready in the morning a challenge. For multiple people. Recommend adding a mirror in each of the bedrooms near outlets. The bedrooms downstairs were adequate but very dark because of the opaque shades. You have choose between darkness and privacy or being exposed to the neighborhood. Blinds or shutters would be a huge improvement. As a result, we used the lower bedrooms as dressing rooms and slept upstairs. WiFi was excellent but no smart TV so we streamed on my laptop. Despite the opportunities for improvement, I would say that this house has some very nice features and is a good value. Close to the main town and many other things to do, such as the Keuka outlet trail, where you can bike to two waterfalls, a zillion wineries, Watkins Glen state park , and much more. We had a great time.

This property was absolutely beautiful! There are so many great little aspects about this rental: the key-less entry, cleanliness, comfortable beds, great location, great communication with the property owners, and being able to enjoy being right on the water.

Perfect and relaxing getaway

My wife and I had a wonderful stay here. Stunning lakefront views and an immaculate, comfortable house that was perfect for us. We grilled out every night and watched the sunset. During the day, we kayaked on the lake, hiked nearby trails, and rode bikes from the house to the Cayuga-Waterloo trail. Property is secluded and in nature, but just 15 minutes to grocery stores and pharmacies in Geneva if you need anything. Vineyards all around. Perfect location and the owners were there for us if we needed anything, helping us with bikes. Highly recommend!

June 2017 Stay

We were very impressed with Pine Ridge and the owners Tom and Karen. The location is absolutely perfect. This property is on the lake and tucked back off the main road so it's easy to find but very peaceful. There seems to be a nice mix of year round residents which makes it feel more like a neighborhood and not a vacation property. The house itself was very clean and comfortable. The main windows of the house face the west so the sunsets and lake breezes are a wonderful treat. We cooked a few of our meals at the house which is well appointed with all the basics. Our three year old son wasn't interested in boating but did enjoy swimming, fishing off the dock and playing on the gravel beach. If you stay, check out Bottomless Brewing which is 2 minutes away and Zugibe Vineyards which is only a five minute drive. We also recommend the community playground near the Ramada in Geneva if you have young kiddos and Opus for your breakfast/lunch/coffee needs. Pine Ridge is an absolutely wonderful cottage and we look
