Explore the Finger Lakes Region from this cozy 3-bedroom home near Geneva, NY.

The House
This 1920s-era home boasts beautiful architectural details, hardwood floors, finished woodwork, original plaster walls, and a cozy, efficient layout. You are ideally situated to explore the many Finger Lakes attractions with easy access to E, W, N, and S routes. On your return from day trips or special events, enjoy the comfort of an electric fireplace, new bedding, remote-controlled bedroom ceiling fans/lights, a room air cleaner/humidifier upon request, and TVs in all bedrooms, living room, and family room. WiFi internet access is available for your work and pleasure. A washer, dryer, iron, and ironing board are also available. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking and those who would prefer a quiet evening or economy of dining in.

The Grounds
The exterior and grounds of the Blue House are in the planning stages and are scheduled to be completed in the spring, summer, and fall seasons of 2024-2025.

The Living Room
You will find comfort and simple practicality in The Blue House living room. With a matching full-size upholstered couch, loveseat, chair, microfleece throws, TV, and an electronic fireplace to warm you up on chilly days. The fireplace can be used without heat to create a cozy feeling.

The Dining Room
The dining table seats six but could seat up to eight by adding two chairs from the café room. Dim the lights when a more intimate atmosphere is desired. Find games in the corner cabinet for family fun.

The Kitchen
The Blue House has a very efficient kitchen, nicely equipped with all-new major and small appliances, pots and pans, and tableware.

The Bedrooms
Each bedroom has new bedding from the bedframe up, with a dresser and chair in each room. Bedside lights double as charging stations for phones and tablets. Did I mention the remote-controlled lights and ceiling fans? Well, I'll mention them again because they are really convenient. Once the room light is turned on, you can control the lights and ceiling fans from the comfort of your bed by remote control. The hardwood floors have area rugs for warmth and comfort when you first step out of bed in the morning. A full-length mirror is provided in the upstairs foyer to check out your attire when attending a wedding or other formal event.

The Café Room
The café room off the kitchen is a place for relaxation. There is a coach and table for four and a TV to watch the news while you have your morning coffee. It is also an excellent place for eating or a rousing game of cards or scrabble.

The Bathroom
A completely renovated, well-lit, and mirrored bathroom with all new fixtures, including a wall-mounted shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner dispenser, makes getting ready for the day a joy. You will find all you need, including bath towels and make-up removal towels, in both your room and the storage space behind the toilet.

The Laundry
A new washer and dryer are located in the basement for guests who who wish to do laundry during their stay. Laundry detergent is provided.

The Blue House Boat Dock
The Blue House is located very close to the Cayuga-Seneca Canal. We have a seasonal boat dock at 5 & 20 Marine, less than a quarter mile from the premises. The use of this dock is included in your rental. It is available from May 1 to November 1. The boat launch is very close to the dock dock.
The Cayuga-Seneca Canal gets its name because it connects the two largest lakes in the Finger Lakes Region, Seneca Lake and Cayuga Lake. The canal is a tributary of the Erie Canal system, and as such, you can reach the Atlantic Ocean from it. Enjoy excellent fishing, a paddle, or a cruise on the canal or lakes. A 10% discount on a pontoon boat rental is available for our guests at Stivers Seneca Marine; use code VACAY2024. There are numerous lakes, marinas, and launch points in the Finger Lakes Region.

The Driveway and Parking Area
There is off-the-street parking for two vehicles and space for three if one vehicle is parked in the garage. A fourth space is reserved for the cottage behind The Blue House. The driveway must be kept clear at all times other than the unloading of luggage during check-in.

Entertainment
In addition to the Geneva nightlife, with great restaurants and a music scene, The Blue House provides board games and cards for more traditional family fun or when the weather may hamper your plans to explore the area. Our area is rich in history, with many local historical sites and museums. And, if big-screen movies are your thing, the Smith Center for the Arts in Geneva sports the largest movie screen in the Finger Lakes area, as well as live music and entertainment.

Wineries, Breweries, and Distilleries
The Finger Lakes is a wine region. Recently, it has also become a region for breweries and distilleries. You can experience some of the country's best wine, beer, and spirits here.

It's A Wonderful House
We were in town to attend the It's A Wonderful Life festival in Seneca Falls, and we used the Blue House as a home base for our extended weekend. The house was beautiful and welcoming; large and comfortable for our "down time" between activities. Dennis was a great host, checking in on us beforehand to make sure everything was fine. We hope to return to the area, and certainly hope to return to the Blue House when we're there!

This house was perfect for a weekend away with my family! We went to the wineries and the location was perfect! We needed extra chairs for the fire and accommodations were made to make that happen! I highly recommend this house! My mom’s birthday weekend was awesome! So happy this was pet friendly too! Thank you for an awesome stay!

Excellent location and super clean
Located conveniently to go anywhere around Seneca Lake, from Geneva area and down to the Watkins Glen area. We drove down the east coast and up the west coast of the lake touring wineries, breweries, hiking, and great places to eat along the way and in Geneva! Very dog friendly patios too! Blue house was excellent location, super clean, comfortable for 4 adults and a medium size dog. Kitchen was great space with appliances, and anything you’d need for a weekend. Beds were comfortable and shower/washroom was very clean! Upstairs bedrooms were warm due to high humidity outside. Hoste had ceiling fans in bedrooms to help move air conditioning into the bedrooms from the hallway and provided an extra stand up fan to make it more comfortable. All in all a great stay and fun weekend!!

Lovely stay at the blue house
We absolutely loved our stay! The house was everything we needed and more. Clean as could be, safe, stocked with towels and even water bottles and snacks. We were so relieved to have the cozy place to come back to after a long day visiting with family. We will definitely be back!
