Nitty gritty detailed information:
THE HOME:
Situated on 3 wooded acres, our renovated, spacious home offers a peaceful place to escape and relax with your family and friends. We have done that many times and we would love for you to have the same wonderful experience! It's located on town maintained road (which basically means it's plowed in the winter and wide enough that you don't have to pull over for oncoming cars like many of the seasonal roads along the lake).

Our home features 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms (one bathroom includes a tub while the other two have showers). A spacious living room with flat screen TV, and vaulted ceiling with a wall of windows. The downstairs has the third bedroom plus separate space with 2 boat beds and a pull out couch that can sleep 2 more. The room features a flat screen tv and adjoined is a 300 sqft arcade which is fun for all ages! Our large eat-in kitchen with dining area for at least 8 and the large central island make it the perfect gathering spot as the heart of the home. You will enjoy meals here whether that means cooking with all the pots/pans or whether that means take-out as there's plenty of space for both! The fridge and dishwasher can make stowing away leftovers and dirty dishes a breeze. Our spacious deck with outdoor sectional and chaise lounge chairs has to be a highlight of the home too - perfect for lounging with a good book, a drink/snack or just watching the sunset over seasonal lake views while listening to nature. We have a non-heated “plunge pool” with its own deck, sun umbrella and deck chairs. The third "dining" deck with gas grill also lets you enjoy the outdoors with a separate outdoor dining table (with seating for 8). Each bath is located on separate floors allowing for privacy while still being together. You and your guests will have ample space to park your cars/trucks/boats, etc! (For those interested, nearby Smith Park has a boat launch area for a nominal daily fee.) We recently installed a hot tub for guest use all year round!

We hope you'll feel pampered and comfortable in each bedroom. All our beds and pillows have mattress/pillow covers for hygiene and peace of mind. With clean linens and fluffy pillows, you'll find a king bed in the main floor bedroom and a queen bed in the lower level bedroom (for a total of 4 guests) - with the main floor bedroom having its own flat screen tv. All the bedrooms have blinds and/or curtains that block out the majority of sunlight that comes through the windows. The house can accommodate an additional 2 guests with the use of a queen sleeper sofa. We have enough linens and pillows for those too! It is located in the game room so there is nobody sharing a bedroom. Recently, we added a sliding barn boor so that this lower level sofabed area has some added privacy.

Whether you're staying for a week or a long weekend, we have tried to provide all of the conveniences of being at home without you having to bring anything! All of the below are provided:
• Clean linens (bath towels, pool towels, sheets, pillowcases, comforters/blankets)
• Ironing board, vacuum, hair dryer
• 4 Streaming TV's (2-Roku 2-FireTV w/ subscription to YouTubeTV and Disney+)
• STRONG Wifi and cell signals (no land line)
• Washer and dryer
• Fully equipped kitchen features pots, pans, utensils, plates, glasses, mugs, kitchen towels, toaster oven, blender, coffee maker and Keurig
• Central A/C and radiant heating
• New stainless steel appliances
• Gas grill on deck (grill tools)
• Child-friendly conveniences available upon request: Pack n play, baby monitor (audio - not video!), high chair and 2 booster seats

The house is set on a large lot and an uber private location provides tranquility at all times of the day and night - with plenty of space to explore, run around and enjoy. You can hear an occasional jet ski but more often than not, this house nestled in the woods will make you feel like you're camping with all the comforts of a fully functional, temperature controlled home :)

THE AREA:
We feel our location in Hector is as good as it gets! More than 20 wineries, a handful of breweries and a few distilleries are just a short drive away, along with several delicious restaurants to fit everyone’s budget - from fine dining (Farm to table) to comfort food (pizza/burgers). Most offer beautiful views of the lake to enjoy while you sip/taste the best of the region. We would be happy to recommend some of our favorites to you!

Our A-Frame home with Seneca Lake access is situated on 2+ park like acres and located just off the Winetrail. Our home offers a peaceful place to escape and relax with your family and friends. It's located on town-maintained road for year-round access.

Everything about our stay was wonderful and we would definitely stay here again on our next trip to the Finger Lakes. The house is spacious and very clean, with beautiful lake views from many windows. The hosts, Annie and Gary, were very accommodating and communicative, letting us check in early due to a snow storm that came through and checking the next morning to see if we needed a plow. The location is great, near many of the breweries we wanted to visit on this trip, with good food nearby as well. Our pup loved it too!

We stayed at Annie and Gary's home a few weeks ago. We love that we were able to bring our dog as we do not travel without her. House was clean and obviously large enough for my family. Location was wonderful and it really is about a 10 min walk to the water/beach. We walked our dog over to Smith Park daily and were able to take her swimming too!! Few hiccups during our stay but Annie and Gary were very quick to respond and resolve any issues. Would absolutely recommend staying here and hope to again in the future.
