Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
This house/cabin was very clean, up to date and had a lot of amenities, but the many stairs up to the house and many many stairs down to the water was a big surprise to us. There were many positives about the house. The hot tub worked great and there was a beautiful view from the top deck while sitting in it overlooking the water. Nothing was lacking in the house/cabin (cute coffee station, plenty of pillows, sheets, blankets, etc.) and we felt very comfortable in it. Lake Seneca wineries and Lake Keuka wineries were all within a short driving distance. Monica was a great communicator and was very responsive! A few negatives: There were 140 stairs to climb to get down to the water's edge (and thus also the fire pit and dock), and the 30-40 stairs up to the house from the parking area. This was surprising. It did not have a big impact on our weekend (we were there in early April and we were all able to climb them). However, if we had young children or older parents with us, it would have had a large impact on our weekend. We also discovered that there are no walking trails along Lake Seneca's lake's edge that are close by. But all in all, it was a very nice house with a great host, I was just disappointed about the access to it and to the water.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
My husband and I are Northeast natives who spent years living around the country before settling in the Finger Lakes. We fell in love with the area’s beauty and sense of calm and made The Willow part of our lives. We’re hands-on, thoughtful hosts and hope you enjoy the cottage as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood for its elevated hillside setting, which offers some of the best year-round views in the area. It’s peaceful and scenic, yet just minutes from Seneca Lake wineries, charming towns, and great dining. The combination of quiet privacy and easy access to everything the Finger Lakes are known for is what makes this location so special.

What makes this property unique

The Willow is a private lakefront retreat with its own large dock, offering a rare sense of privacy and direct access to the water. Combined with a thoughtfully styled, comfortable interior and close proximity to Seneca Lake wineries, it’s a peaceful setting designed for relaxing, unwinding, and enjoying the Finger Lakes at its best.
