Perfect for us

We were pleasantly surprised with the size of this property and the amenities it offered. A unique home with plenty of space to relax, inside and out, as well as more than adequate space for dining, sleeping, activities etc. We were a group of 5, one couple and 3 singles. The bedrooms and baths were well stocked with towels and extra linens. Loved that the home had a huge mudroom, drop zone and laundry area. And parking, this trip we were travelling in 2 dually extended cab trucks, the first night we also had our 24 ft trailer with us, and we had more than enough parking space. This is awesome! So many rental properties have minimal parking that makes it difficult for large groups with multiple families or large vehicles to have adequate parking space, not here. It was perfect! Also, thank you Joe for your timely responses to our questions. If our travels ever bring us back to the area we will definitely be looking you up for our accommodations. P.S. We also loved that every couch and bed had an extra throw or blanket.

Large old farm house

This place is as listed and shown in pictures. It’s a great location when doing a wine tour. My friends and I had a weekend visit for a wine tour and found the location convenient. We were close to wineries and BBQ’s. Yum! I would just make a note that there is no tv (if you want to watch any). This is also an old farm house and you may have some unexpected guests There were tiny ants on the counter and sink (we cleaned them up with kitchen cleaner) and we suggest keeping food in the refrigerator or microwave. We had a visit from ratatouille. Woke up in the morning to him on the kitchen table. Maybe he was going to make us breakfast. We ended up throwing away our food for safety concerns. Luckily he scurried away and didn’t return for the rest of our stay.

Great Location

Great location! Close to the main highway that most of the wineries are on, without being on the actual highway. Much lower volume of traffic. Besides, the closest wineries, Boundary Breaks, we probably my favorite of the weekend, and that is about three minutes away.

Great location near the wineries

We greatly enjoyed our stay at this home. The location between Cayuga and Seneca was perfect to visit the many wineries in the area. We also loved the character of this house; while obviously built in a different era, the updates improved the home while retaining the charm. We will definitely check here for availability for future trips!

Great place with it's own charm

Very spacious and welcoming space with several common areas. The house was clean and close to several attractions. There is a grocery store just 5 mins from the house so it was very convenient for times we decided to stay in and make our own meals. Would highly recommend!

Great location between lakes

This property was spacious and we loved the location for access to hiking, biking and wineries. The layout of the house is quirky and the varying floor heights from one living space to another may be challenging for some. The first floor bathroom is on the opposite side of the house from the first floor bedroom and is accessed through the kitchen: not very private. Likewise, the upstairs bath is on the opposite side of the house from the third bedroom and is only accessible through the second bedroom.

Enjoyable family time

We enjoyed our time with family and the nearby state parks. Communication with owner was excellent. We forgot an item and he promptly shipped it backed to me. Only one thing to note: not all bedrooms are air conditioned. The central air didn’t seem to reach the second level. There was a room air conditioner in one bedroom that worked fine. But none for the second bedroom upstairs. We didn’t use that bedroom so it was fine for us. We were there during a hot week. So the air conditioning was important.

Very nice

Very nice home to stay in , for a short trip to Seneca Lake. Very clean, has all the necesseties . Added bonus was pool table , deck and piano. Plenty of parking. My family enjoyed themselvea . The only downer was the upstairs steps are very steep and very slippery when wearing socks. Overall a great place.

Nice place to stay

The house is large with many comfortable rooms. Multiple floor heights so be sure to watch your step especially at night. House could have been a bit cleaner with cobwebs and dirty floors noted when we wiped water spill. Nice big porch and outside space. No TV. Host was very nice and easy to work with.

Stay at Seneca

No views from the porch. Only a trailer and a scrap yard. No fire detector on 2nd floor. No sheets in bedroom with full and single beds. I messaged the contact for the property with some questions prior to the stay and he never responded. There was still laundry left in the washer and someone elses trash on the porch. Frying pan wete put away dirty. No rack for the pool table. So overall we had a good time as a group but wasnt exactly impressed with everything especially the contact person. Would not rent here again!
