Some comments about the property overall.

What people love most about this place is how easy it is to settle in and truly enjoy the lake life experience. Guests rave about cooking together in the fully stocked kitchen, relaxing in the hot tub after a day outside, and gathering around the fire pit at night under the stars. Many love being able to jump right into the lake whenever they want, while the canoe and kayaks make it easy to explore the water, especially during peaceful mornings on the lake.

One of the biggest highlights is the privacy. Tucked near the woods with a private drive, the property feels peaceful and secluded while still being close to wineries, hiking, and local attractions. There’s plenty of parking, making it ideal for families, couples, and groups traveling together.

Families especially appreciate how kid-friendly and well-equipped the home is. Guests enjoy board games, outdoor games, lake swimming, fishing (requires permit), and spending quality time together both inside and out. The property is also pet-friendly, so dogs can enjoy the getaway too. *Notify owner of pet stay and select pet during booking.

Whether it’s soaking in the hot tub, kayaking at sunrise, making meals together, relaxing by the fire pit, or enjoying quiet evenings surrounded by nature, guests say the property feels like a true escape from everyday life.

For the security of our guests and property, there is one exterior security camera located at the front entrance which is on the deck as you enter the home. The camera monitors the front entryway from the parking area. There are no cameras or recording devices inside the home or in any private outdoor areas.

Perfect getaway on Seneca!

We just returned from an amazing post-Christmas getaway with another family. The house was just as described - so inviting, tastefully decorated, and well appointed. The beds were so comfortable, too! You can’t beat the view or location, as it’s directly on the lake and less than 5 minutes to about 10 wineries and breweries. Will absolutely be back!

We had a very nice time at the lake house. Very clean, beautiful location right on the lake. House was very well stocked. Outdoor areas were very nice. Enjoyed a fire and the hot tub. Husbands loved sitting on the deck by the lake, and the kids loved playing by the dock and going out in the paddle boat. We would most definitely stay here again in the summer!

Beautiful location. One of the most well-appointed kitchens I have ever seen in a rental... you can tell the owners cook! We really appreciated that. We loved the fact that the primary bedroom was on the main level, eliminating the need for some of our family members to navigate stairs. Amazing lake view. The kids loved having access to kayaks and caught some fish, too! Very responsive and kind owners.

Lovely wine weekend stay. We had a groups of 6 girls. The house suited us quite well. The beds and pillows were comfortable. The house was very clean and well appointed. The view was breathtaking. House was conveniently located to many wineries, breweries and restaurants all within a very short drive. We enjoyed breakfast on the outdoor patio dining table and dinner dockside. Both evenings of our stay we enjoyed the hot tub which was very relaxing a great way to end the day! We hope to make this an annual trip and stay at this beautiful property.

The house was clean, comfortable, and stocked with everything we needed. There was a little hiccup with checking in but the owners were prompt in their response to help us gain access to the house. We loved watching the sunset from the dock, the view was beautiful! We also liked the location, it was close to so much! We enjoyed the hot tub, though we think it lost a lot of water and must have a leak. We will be sure to let the owners know. We look forward to coming back to the area and would recommend a stay at the Lake House!

It was great. Everything was perfect. Only thought was maybe a small table and chairs in the kitchen by the window for 4 people to play games. Even a foldable card table and chairs or a wing fold down table. We did use the coffee table for games. Thanks for a wonderful venue for our annual girls get away!

Every detail thought of

You can literally walk into this house & live. Well appointed with anything & everything you could need. The house beautifully decorated & still comfortable & homey. We kayaked & canoed & enjoyed sunsets in the rocking chairs on the dock. We had our dog with us, and the property is laid out nicely to keep him contained. Ameann was very responsive to any of our needs. This stay was exactly what our family was looking for.
