Description
Brookside is a serene chalet hideaway nestled on the shores of Seneca Lake, where the gentle babbling of a nearby brook sets the tone for a relaxing and memorable Finger Lakes getaway. This charming retreat has been thoughtfully designed for families, friends, or couples seeking a mix of lakeside fun, cozy comfort, and easy access to everything the region has to offer. With its stunning lakefront, inviting interiors, and family-friendly amenities, Brookside quickly becomes a place guests return to year after year.
A long, winding gravel driveway guides you to the lower-level parking area, where you can unload your belongings and step inside to begin your vacation. Sliding glass doors open to a spacious family recreation room, perfect for gathering and unwinding. This area features a full-size bar, pool table, cozy seating, and a TV for movie nights or catching your favorite game. The lower level also offers a queen bed and a convenient half bath, making it ideal for multigenerational stays or guests who prefer main-level accommodations. Just outside, the six-person hot tub sits on the patio with a clear view of the lake, inviting you to soak while enjoying the serene surroundings.
An interior staircase leads to the bright and airy great room, the heart of the home. The oversized sectional sofa is perfectly positioned to take in the sweeping lake views, while the open country kitchen and dining table, seating six, make it easy to prepare and enjoy meals together. The first-floor bedrooms each feature two single beds, perfect for children or guests, and can be pushed together to create a king-size bed if needed. The loft master suite offers a queen bed, with an additional single in the hallway, and provides a peaceful retreat where guests can even fall asleep to the soothing sounds of the brook. A blow-up air mattress in the laundry room allows for additional flexible sleeping arrangements, ensuring the home can comfortably accommodate your entire group.
Brookside’s lakefront is truly a highlight, stretching over 150 feet of natural, level shoreline. Children will love the expansive pebble beach, where they can collect shells, skip stones, or splash in the water. For boating enthusiasts, the property offers a hoist to safely store your boat when not in use, while the large permanent dock provides the perfect spot for sunbathing, fishing, or launching kayaks and paddleboards. On calm days, guests can explore the lake and observe the region’s diverse bird population from the water, making each day an adventure.
Outside, the patio and lakeside seating areas are ideal for barbecues, sunset dinners, or simply relaxing with a glass of Finger Lakes wine. Whether you’re unwinding in the hot tub, enjoying a peaceful morning coffee while watching the lake come to life, or gathering around the dock for an afternoon of games and conversation, Brookside offers endless ways to enjoy lakeside living.
The location of Brookside is ideal for exploring the Finger Lakes. The small town of Dundee is just five miles away, offering shopping, groceries, gas, and charming local restaurants. Watkins Glen and Geneva are both within a half-hour drive, providing additional opportunities for sightseeing, hiking, and dining.

Guests can easily plan wine tastings, brewery tours, and scenic drives while enjoying the convenience of being close to the lake.
