Wide Open Views | 4 Bed, 2 Bath

Wide Open Views is a lovely large home on Seneca Lake.  With a huge yard and lots of living space, this home is the perfect spot for a large family, large group of friends, or several families to stay and enjoy the lake together!

Wide Open Views is on the east side of Seneca Lake, only a few minutes from Geneva.  The house is large and spacious with two full kitchens, one on each level.  With almost an acre of yard space and over 150' of private lakefront, you'll have plenty of space for a game of tag football, tag with the kids, or playing on the lake and the shoreline.  A gorgeous new playset for the kids has been added in 2024...making this the perfect vacation spot for families with youngsters!

From the front door, you will enter the Dining Room with the handcrafted table built from old saurkraut barrels on the homeowners farm.  There is plenty of room for everyone to gather here for a sit-down meal.  Walking through the Dining Room there is a large Living Room with windows facing out over the lake, a sectional couch and TV for watching the game.  Through the Living Room, and also connected to the Dining Room, is the large Farmhouse Kitchen.  The kitchen has a peninsula and bar stools to sit at for a snack or for watching the cook make dinner.  Standing at the stainless steel farmhouse sink you can look out the large windows and see for miles across the lake.  Behind the kitchen you'll find the laundry room and the entry into the garage.

Off of the Living Room is the hallway to the main floor bedrooms.  The Primary bedroom is to the left and is quite spacious with a King size bed and large windows facing out over the lake.  This bedroom also has a crib available, if you have little ones.

The main floor bathroom with a tub/shower is just across the hallway from Bedroom 2.  Bedroom 2 has a King size bed as well.  Bedroom 3 is next to Bedroom 2 and has 2 Queen size beds.  There is an additional sleeping room (set up like a bedroom) in the hallway just off of the Kitchen.  This room has a Queen size bed and also views of the lake.

Descending the steps from the kitchen to the lower level living area, you'll find the large Family Room with doors out onto the outside patio area.  The Family room has is beautifully divided into several living spaces: a large second kitchen with huge island and bar seating along with a secondary bar height table for playing card games and indoor shuffle board, and the secondary cozy lounge room with sofas and chairs for watching tv/movies.

The lower level Bedroom is off of the Family Room and has 2 Queen size beds.  The lower level full bath is next to the bedroom and has a large walk in shower.

Outside you will not lack for space.  There is a huge yard on the back side of the house, by the driveway...wide open space for kids to run or to set up a game of badminton or volleyball.  There is a basketball hoop on the driveway as well.
On the lake front there is plenty of private lake shore for getting in the water, sunbathing, or enjoying a fire in the firepit.  You can see for literally miles down the lake...this house has some of the most expansive views of Seneca Lake that you will find anywhere on the lake.

If you're looking for that perfect spacious getaway spot for a group of 10....Wide Open Views is perfect for you!

Great Place for a Family Get Together
Our group of cousins and sisters were very impressed with Wide Open Views. We particularly liked the lower level which walked out to the lakefront patio. The house was very roomy for 6 adults and in a great location for east side wineries and breweries on Seneca Lake. Highly recommend this place for family get togethers. Although we did not have any children with us - there are nice amenities - big swing set, high chair, kids utensils/plates, and a cozy TV room.

Absolutely beautiful
Home is beautiful, extremely clean and well stocked. There was plenty of space for our group of 8 and it could easily accommodate more people. Management company was very responsive. Although it wasnt warm enough for us to spend a significant amount of time outside, the outdoor seating was plentiful and there is a very nice dock also. Would highly recommend this home.

Beautiful Views
We had an amazing week at Wide Open Views. The house was clean and the views from the kitchen, living room and 2 of the upstairs bedrooms were beautiful. We loved being able to see the kids by the lake from inside the house. Having a second kitchen downstairs made it easy to prepare meals to eat outside on the patio. The paddle boards, kayaks, and canoe were a big hit with our family. The large dock was great to sit and read a book while watching the kids play in the lake. We used the firepit to make s'mores and to sit around on the few cool nights we had. The flat front yard was fun for games of tag and pickle ball. The sunset across the lake every evening can't be beat. The house itself was on a quiet, private road and was close to several wineries and activities for the kids. We loved our stay and can't wait to return!!!

House was double booked
When we arrived to check in at our house at 4:20pm was already occupied by another group. We had booked and paid in full this specific property back in May 2021. We selected this property for its location bc it was exactly where we needed to be. Once we got through the property manager, they offered us another property that would accommodate our group and was a “better” property. Whereas, the property was nice but it was over an hour away from where we needed to be. It ended up costing us over two hours of drive time, gas and inconvenience. In addition, the house was still on lake front but way up on an incline and the house didn’t have much open/shared spaces as our original house. I am extremely disappointed in that we weren’t offered a discount, refund or any offers to correct the double booking that was NOT our fault.

"As Advertised and Great Visit!"
We were four couples staying over Labor Day Weekend and we feel as though we totally lucked out with how well the house and its location worked out. In addition to its proximity to Geneva and Seneca Lake attractions, the house was very clean, comfortable and spacious. Check-in was super easy and there was a quick response to any questions. The kitchen was very well stocked with supplies and easily accommodated all of our needs. The best amenity was the outdoor space with direct access to the lake. We took full advantage of the patio and grill, in addition to the single person kayaks, canoe and SUP, and lakeside firepit. The house definitely gave you "a sense of place," and we had a terrific visit exploring vineyards, breweries, hiking and simply enjoying each other's company in a wonderful setting.

Wonderful vacation
Everything we needed was at Wide Open Views! The outside space speaks for itself. With 5 boys under the age of 11, things inside the house can get a little chaotic but we had plenty of space outside to play lots of yard games. This house has become special to our family and we are so thankful for all the time we have there together!

Fantastic Lakeside Views
I booked this for a last minute family trip and it honestly was perfect! The house was thoroughly cleaned and we had everything we needed to have a fun weekend on the lake. The kitchens were both well stocked with pans, plates and utensils to handle cooking for our big family and we’re close by to some great vineyards as well! It was a great location because Geneva has everything you need and the lake views were just gorgeous. I would like to note that the downstairs can get hot but honestly my family didn’t mind because we were having so much fun. The great part was the downstairs had two futons that we put our teenagers on and it worked out great! Thanks for a fantastic stay!

A much needed vacation!
Everything about Wide Open Views was perfect! Joleen was quick to reply to any questions and the house was equipped with everything we needed! We had a large family vacation and everyone was able to have their own space but gather together for family time. The yard is huge and we had so much fun playing games! Swimming was also a ton of fun and the house has plenty of water toys! So thankful for our wonderful stay!
