We had a wonderful stay here for our family vacation. Everything was great! House was very clean, pool was amazing and the property was beautiful. Hosts were super helpful and kind! We plan on returning in the future!
Not the most modern and updated,but that's not what we wanted. Great kitchen, lots of space to gather both indoors and out, perfect bedroom situations for our family, and a wonderful view of the lake. Jill was always prompt in responding to questions.
Friends gathering to celebrate meeting on trip to Italy. Decided to do a reunion in the Finger Lakes. The house was in a great location and perfect for the 10 of us to reunite.
We did a sailing trip on Truelove Schooner on Seneca Lake and did a brewery / winery tour. So many very close to this location.
The house was large with many gathering areas, clean and comfortable. Perfect for socializing and catching up. Great fire pit on the lake. Jill was great with answering questions in a timely and complete fashion and very welcoming.
We are already talking about going back again.
More great memories created on this trip.
House was perfect for our growing family. Enjoyed the outside space especially with the pool. We enjoyed sitting at the lake with a fire in the evening. Itâs located on a quiet street yet very close to the wineries, breweries etc. we will definitely return!!!!
Perfect family vacation. Property was even better than expected. Exceptionally clean. Weather wasnât great but it didnât spoil our time away. Weâre already making plans to come again!
Location was perfect. Everything as promised and more. This was a vacation to reset and relax and we were able to do just. On the lake, incredible sunsets, pool was large and perfect temp, plenty of space for outdoor games. For inclement weather the home is spacious with plenty to do. However, we had 7 days of great weather.
Every day your private dock and firepit on the water provided an incredible sunset.
Most important, our host Jill was always accomodating and great to communicate with.
We travel often and I'm scoring this stay: 5 stars!
The Bouchane's
We were a group of 7 adults - cousins & spouses - who came to the Finger Lakes for a reunion. The house was great, and we all had a terrific time.
The house is very well suited for a large group, with plenty of bedrooms and ample space to gather and talk. The kitchen was big and bright. We didnât cook but it had everything we needed. The beds were all comfortable and the outdoor space was wonderful. We spent several nights on the dock drinking wine & watching the sunset.
Jill was a fabulous host. I had several questions and she responded promptly to every single one! This is the house you want for your group!
The house was beautiful and accommodated our family of 11 well! We rented the house from Jill who was wonderful to work with! It was a convenient place to stay attending a family wedding in the area ! The kitchen was beautiful. Enough seating for all and then some! With 2 full baths and 2 half baths, there was never a problem for our family getting ready before the wedding! The master suite was huge and remainiing 4 bedrooms were comfortable and tastefully decorated! I know we would have enjoyed the inground pool and sitting out by the dock by the fire pit at night if we had visited during the summer! Maybe weâll be back in the future to stay during the summer months to do just that! Great place! Great stay!
We were a group of 12 girls who needed a big place with a lot of space, beautiful views, and close to wineries for a bachelorette. Jillâs home was perfect for us. Not only was Jill friendly and accommodating, she was quick to respond to any of our questions and provided mostly everything we needed for our weekend. The rooms were spacious and fit all of us comfortably, we had space to gather and for privacy. The dock and lake view were breath taking. We were close to many wineries and restaurants in the area so that was also very convenient. Pool was closed but only because it was cold and early May when we arrived. We had a fantastic time and would love to visit again.
Great place to celebrate my Dadâs 75th birthday and family reunion
This was our first family reunion since COViD and also my Dadâs 75th birthday celebration. Our family rented 2 houses on Lake Seneca, one of them was this house. It was a great place to have a family barbecue, get the kids together with the playard outside and enough space for our family to hang and celebrate. We cooked a lot and also grilled. The hosts were great with communication as well. They were very prompt when the wifi went out and also replaced our bbq gas tank right away when we started bbqing and realized that they was no gas! The pool was too cold for us so we didnât use it but was a great area to hang out by. Overall a great experience.
We had a group of 5 couples who wanted to do a wine trip in the Finger Lakes. We had great accommodations for the group at this great lakefront home! It was even nicer than the pictures showed. Everything was clean and very well kept up. We were able to have dinner together both inside and out. There were plenty of kitchenwares for our dinners and breakfast. We wished we could have used the pool, but didn't bring suits! We enjoyed the chairs that were set up along the lake for sunset and the views were gorgeous. We had a Saturday of wine tasting with a (stretch limo) car to take us all together, which made for a fun day for everyone(nobody had to drive and we could all be in one vehicle!). Highly recommend this property for other groups to enjoy!
The home has a perfect set up for a large family. It's well maintained and the pool and lake area are beautiful. There were 12 of us, 6 adults and 6 children ages 4 - 12. The two bedrooms, living room, and little toy nook in the basement was a great space for the kids. The two bedrooms on the main level had ample space, both with queen size beds. The bedroom upstairs was very large and also had a queen size bed. There is a nice sitting area upstairs as well and a very large closet.
One of the bathrooms on the main level had direct access outside which was wonderful when coming in damp from the pool.
The kitchen is well stocked and has everything you need, including two ovens. The island is huge and offers plenty of seating, but we found it very useful for buffet style meals. The dining table was large enough for us to all eat dinner together. There is also plenty of table space out on the patio and on the pool deck for meals outside.
There's a very nice laundry room with a utility tub as well.
The kids had a great time and all thought it was the best place to stay. These are a few of their comments, "the pool was the best thing ever", "the area around the pool was awesome", "loved that you could go from the pool right into the bathroom", "loved playing cards at the island and being able to see the lake and the pool", "loved the dock for fishing".
The patio area was very nice and had two table and chair sets. The pool deck had a table and chair set, plenty of lounge chairs, side tables and umbrellas. The pool had a shallow end that was great for the younger kids and the deep end offering the slide and diving board was a lot of fun for all. Everyone enjoyed the pool and pool area a lot. The little ones enjoyed the playground area also.
The front porch with the view of the lake was very relaxing.
The lake front was really nice with the fire pit, chairs, and easy beach access for the kayaks. The dock is amazing and was a great place for fishing, but was truly a little piece of paradise when quietly sitting there and especially when enjoying the beautiful sunsets.
The owners were wonderful, you knew they were available if you needed anything, yet they weren't intrusive at all. It was very nice renting from them and having them as neighbors for a week.
We would/will definitely rent here again. Well maintained large home, great pool, huge surrounding yard, great lake frontage/dock, and gorgeous sunsets. Beautiful!
Planned a fishing trip for the grandsons and chartered with Royâs Boys (home owner recommended) and it was perfect. 6 grandkids ranging from 23 months to age 16. Plenty of places to sleep, easy access to the lake, not a lot of traffic, and plenty for the kids to do with games, basketball hoop, swingset, etc. We loved having the huge kitchen and large livingroom. Views from the front porch and dock were perfect. We didnât use the pool because we were there in early/mid May but Iâm sure it would have been used hard by the kids. Loved our family time there.
We had 10 staying and it was the perfect space! Response to questions was answered in a timely manner and very accomadating. Definitely want to stay here again!!
even better than the pictures!! a few friends and i visited the finger lakes and absolutely loved it. The homeowners were so friendly and helpful. Hoping to make it back to this visit one day!
We had an amazing time at this property. I wish we stayed an extra day just to hang out on the property. Beautiful, spacious and clean. I would come back immediately. While it was a girls trip, I could see this also being perfect for a family vacation as well. Loved the home and the host was always fast to respond leading up and very accommodating. Highly recommend!!
Private resort amidst NY Finger Lakes wineries and distilleries
Wonderful home, property, neighborhood, host ⊠all the elements for a perfect Cornell reunion for 11 old friends. Enjoyed the pool, lake, kayaks, dock, fire pit, nearby park walking trails, big dining table, porch sunsets ⊠could not have been nicer. Highly recommend.
A little about me, I work for eCornell and have focused most of my efforts there on our hospitality programs offered from Cornell's School of Hotel Administration. I earned my Master Certificate in Hospitality Management from Cornell's School of Hotel Administration and am honored to take the skill sets I have learned in this program and use it to provide hospitality to our guest.
My husband and I live right next door to this home and enjoy living the lake life and want our guests to experience the best of lake life as well. We purchased this home from my brother and sister-in-law when they had to move out of state to keep this home in our family. We live next door and hope to one day have our son or daughter living next door to us. As this is our family home we take great care in keeping the home in great condition.
As this is our family home we take great care in keeping the home in great condition. With this home you will have plenty of room to gather but also spread out, there is a yard for the kids to play in, a pool to enjoy in the summer months, and lake and dock to take in the amazing sunsets. We are located in the heart of the Finger Lakes making us close to many wineries, breweries, and other attractions. Being on the east side of Seneca Lake the views of the sunset are breathtaking!
Our unique spacious lake home offers the private lake access that many are looking for that also includes a gorgeous pool, large yard and playground. The home is spacious with 5 bedrooms 2 living rooms and a large eat in kitchen that overlooks the dining room.
