Welcome to Absolutely Shore, a charming Finger Lakes vacation rental where rustic Adirondack charm meets the tranquil beauty of Seneca Lake. Perfectly situated along the east side of the lake, this inviting vacation home offers comfort, convenience, and a front-row seat to the best of the Finger Lakes. Whether you’re here for a wine tour, a family getaway, or a quiet lakeside escape, Absolutely Shore provides everything you need for an unforgettable stay.
From the moment you arrive, the home’s serene location sets the tone for your vacation. Nestled on a quiet, level road with easy driveway access, it’s designed for effortless arrivals and relaxing days ahead. Step through the welcoming front door and into the open great room, where sunlight streams through skylights and gleaming hardwood floors add warmth and character. The soaring ceilings and open layout make this space feel both expansive and cozy — a place where friends and family can gather, cook, dine, and unwind together.
The fully equipped kitchen is the heart of the home. Outfitted with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and plenty of counter space, it has everything you need to prepare delicious meals during your stay. The large island with bar seating invites guests to join in the fun, whether chatting with the chef or enjoying a casual breakfast before heading out to explore. Just beyond, the dining area overlooks Seneca Lake through large picture windows. With seating for six and the ability to expand to ten, it’s perfect for intimate family dinners or lively gatherings that linger long into the evening.
The adjacent living room exudes warmth and comfort. Two leather sofas face a beautiful stone fireplace — decorative only, but still the visual centerpiece of the room. This inviting space is ideal for curling up with a good book, watching a favorite movie on cable TV, or simply enjoying the quiet glow of the firelight. Whether it’s a crisp fall evening or a rainy spring day, this room sets the perfect mood for cozy relaxation.
On the main floor, you’ll find a peaceful queen bedroom and a full bathroom, offering convenient accommodations for guests who prefer single-level living. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms continue the home’s warm, welcoming feel — one with a queen bed and the other with two twin singles. Both are thoughtfully decorated with rustic touches and soft linens to ensure restful sleep after a day of Finger Lakes adventures. A second full bathroom on this level provides added comfort and convenience for all guests.
The loft area overlooking the great room offers extra sleeping space with a comfortable queen sleeper sofa, making Absolutely Shore a flexible choice for families or groups traveling together. With plenty of room for up to ten guests, this vacation home ensures everyone has their own cozy spot to relax.
From May through September, guests can enjoy the seasonal bunk house located just behind the main home. This charming retreat features a queen bed and a full bathroom — perfect for older kids, extra guests, or anyone seeking a little added privacy. The bunk house adds another layer of flexibility and fun to your stay, creating a true home-away-from-home atmosphere.
Outdoor living is at the heart of Absolutely Shore. The large, covered wraparound porch provides a comfortable space to dine al fresco, unwind in the shade, or sip your morning coffee while taking in the peaceful surroundings. Just across the quiet service road, your private lakefront awaits. With 85 feet of natural pebble shoreline and a gradual wade-in entry, the water is perfect for swimming, wading, and paddleboarding. A large permanent dock and boat hoist make it easy to set off for a day of boating or fishing, while the gentle slope of the shoreline is ideal for kids or anyone who prefers easy water access.
As the sun begins to set, the lake transforms into a masterpiece of color — golds, oranges, and pinks reflecting off the water. Evenings here are best spent gathered on the porch or down by the water, sharing stories, roasting marshmallows, and watching the stars emerge one by one over Seneca Lake.
Absolutely Shore’s prime location puts you within easy reach of everything that makes the Finger Lakes region so special. Just a short drive south, Watkins Glen awaits with its breathtaking gorge trail, charming downtown shops, and restaurants featuring locally sourced cuisine. Wine enthusiasts will find themselves surrounded by some of the best vineyards in the region, including Wagner Vineyards, Lamoreaux Landing, and Boundary Breaks, where you can sip world-class Rieslings while taking in panoramic lake views.
For outdoor lovers, nearby state parks offer hiking, biking, and birdwatching opportunities amid stunning natural scenery. In summer, you can explore the local farmer’s markets or take a scenic boat tour of Seneca Lake. During the fall, the surrounding hills erupt in vibrant color, making this area one of the most beautiful leaf-peeping destinations in New York.
Back at the house, every detail has been considered to make your stay effortless. With its open layout, multiple sleeping options, and bonus bunk house, Absolutely Shore easily accommodates families, couples, and groups of friends. The home combines the cozy appeal of a classic lake cabin with the amenities of a modern retreat, creating the perfect balance of rustic charm and contemporary comfort.
Whether your days are spent kayaking on the water, wine tasting along Seneca’s eastern shore, or simply relaxing on the porch with a good book, Absolutely Shore offers a peaceful escape designed to refresh and inspire. This is the kind of place where mornings begin with the sound of gentle waves and end with laughter under a sky full of stars — a true reflection of the Finger Lakes way of life.
