Small but comfy
The small house was very clean, modestly furnished, but updated. Big enough for two couples or a small family. We had access to the lake right in front and swam every day. Next time I would bring water shoes since it's all rocks. The caretaker of the property was super friendly and helpful. Small wishlist: a few regular sized drinking glasses, and a small table on the porch for drinks or a snack while sitting outside

Very Unhappy
Deadly algea in lakes, authorities told us not to use lake. Company would not give refund but offered to relist property then raised price almost $100 practically assuring that it would not resell. We went to property and it was cluttered outside with vehicles and equip never went in. WOULD NOT USE THIS COMPANY AGAIN.

Great house, location not ideal for us
The house was very nice and met our needs. Everything was very clean, and the property company even provided a little goody bag upon arrival with some extras and little gift bags for our dogs. The property manager is readily available because he lives very close-by. The house is right on the lake, and the road along the lake is very flat, making it very nice for morning and evening walks. On the downside, the photos didn't really convey that the house is directly in front of a series of camping RVs, so the house wasn't nearly as private as we anticipated. We were traveling with our dogs, and every time someone walked by the front of the house, they were barking. We may not have booked had we known this were the set up. Of all the VRBOs I have stayed at, this one was least equipped with cleaning supplies. I like to do a thorough clean before leaving, as one of my dogs sheds a lot. I needed to purchase a broom so that I could sweep the floor. It's also important to note there was not a dishwasher. This wasn't a big deal for my family, but I know it matters to some.

For the 4 of us, this was a perfect little house. Everything was spotless and new inside, and kitchen was very well equipped. We loved the view of the lake and sunsets each night. Would definitely recommend for two or four people ! The welcome package was a nice touch , very good coffee!

Seneca Lake Getaway
This was a great getaway spot for a small family of 3 or 4 people. The lake views were excellent and the neighborhood was super chill. We came during NASCAR weekend at Watkins Glen and enjoyed the race as well. We would definitely one back to this property again!

Nice lakefront property
This was a great place for our family of 4. Very clean and nicely updated inside. Right across the street from the water with clear view of the lake. Rocky beach that was dog friendly :). Close to neighbors but everyone was very nice and never had any issues with noise!
