The name of the Vrbo stay “Destination Relaxation” lives up to the name. The place was clean comfortable, and had all necessary items you would need. It was an added plus that there were kayaks, stand up paddle board, paddle boat, floats, life jackets and much more. We had a great time enjoying the beautiful view.

Wine Trip 2025

We had a wonderful time, and the property was nothing less than perfect. The boathouse was a bonus and stocked with everything we could have wanted to enjoy time on and in the lake. We especially enjoyed the paddle boat. The house was well equipped for our needs, and the deck had a beautiful view.

Grad celebration

We were in town for my son’s graduation from Cornell, and the lake house was the perfect retreat after a long drive.The home was peaceful, cozy, and beautifully set up with everything we needed. We especially appreciated all the thoughtful touches—it truly felt like a home away from home.We couldn’t have asked for a better space to relax and celebrate such a special occasion. Thank you for helping make the weekend so memorable!

Hidden gem

Everything about this lake house is spectacular: The views, the location, the amenities (boathouse, fire pit) and the ease with which everything is handled by the hosts. My only regret is we didn’t stay longer - absolutely recommend for anyone looking to unwind and spend some quality time with family and friends.

Home base for the eclipse

We stayed in this great house on Seneca Lake, using it as home base for traveling north to the see the eclipse in April 2024. The house is right on the lake with gorgeous views. The house is comfortable, the kitchen is well-stocked, and the five of us were VERY happy with our choice. We highly recommend Destination Relaxation!

It was a pleasure to deal with Abi the owner. She informed us of things in the area. Her place is well stocked with what we needed and was very clean. We enjoyed having a fire in the fireplace when it got cold out. Would definitely recommend this place to family and friends. Would definitely return. Great location and views are amazing!

Destination Relaxation

We had a great time! The house was beautiful, clean, and organized with clear instructions for each appliance. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to cook, and having restaurant menus was helpful. The property includes a dock and a boat house which were great for fishing and kayaking. We slept really well in the sleep number bed! We’ve already recommended this property to friends, and we can’t wait to book our next stay!

Wonderful Place to Relax and Enjoy the Finger Lakes

Destination Relaxation really lives up to its name! Beautiful lake views and easy water access, a well equipped home and boathouse, and a central location to visit wineries and attractions on several of the Finger Lakes. We loved our week there…plenty of space to spread out inside and outside and Dresden is a peaceful and walkable village…looking forward to returning again to create more family memories!

Great relaxation

The property was wonderful. It was truly a home feeling, the welcome wine bottle was perfect to kick off our wine weekend. The beds were comfortable. There is everything you may need and more in the kitchen. And the beach house fireplace was the perfect ending to each day! The views were gorgeous! We would definitely book again!

Great time on Seneca Lake!

The house was comfortable and well equipped, and comfortably fit our party of 5 adults. We loved the water toys and nice dock seating. The small town of Dresden is nice for walking and bike rides. Good dinners out nearby in Geneva and Penn Yan, and ice cream at Mr. Twistee’s. The owners were friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed our stay!

We had a wonderful vacation at Destination Relaxation. The kitchen is stocked with everything you could ever need. We truly appreciated the large dining tables inside and outside on the deck.

50th Birthday Party and Winery Trip

The house was all that was promised and more! It is extremely clean, very well maintained, and has great spaces, both indoors and outdoors. The beach house was a bonus and the dock with chairs was so relaxing. Abi responded instantly with accurate information about the area. We will definitely be back, most likely for a longer stay during the summer months sometime!
