Throughout this cozy home, five private bedrooms are yours to choose from. Choose your favorite and whether your view is of the lake, or the garden you’ll be in for a treat! The kids will love the newly renovated “bunk room”, with five twin beds, and an adjoining room with a queen bed in case there is a need for an adult close by. Or the twins can be joined together to create 2 king sized beds. Each evening, rest your head and dream of the Finger Lakes adventures planned for your getaway tomorrow.
Among the many indoor amenities include family favorite board games, a Wifi speaker for enjoying your own playlists and even an acoustic guitar for those musicians among you.

The lakefront offers a natural entry to the water along with a permanent dock (feel free to moor your boat!), perfect for fishing each season.

By Andrea from Birmingham, Michigan , Stay: 08/11/2023 - 08/20/2023Great house for toddlers!
This was a great set up for six adults and two three year-old grandsons. We appreciated being able to cordon them off in separate areas of the house. We spent a lot of time on the deck and yard with the kids and their toys, and also at the lake edge in water shoes (a must-have), collecting (and throwing) rocks. Easy walk/scooter to the park and playground. We ate almost all of our meals at home after a couple of forays to Wegman's in Geneva and multiple farm stand visits (bring cash). Kitchen is well-stocked with pots and pans and dishes (including lots of coffee cups!). We brought pantry items. Would recommend stocking up on cleaning supplies (e.g., Clorox wipes, liquid soap, dishtowels, paper goods). Definitely recommend bringing some kind of sun shade (we brought a tent based on the listing photos which show it's very sunny). This was our first visit to Finger Lakes. We were so impressed with the area, including water sports and biking options and the remarkable friendliness of the neighbors.
By Kate from Media, Pennsylvania , Stay: 07/28/2023 - 08/04/2023Everything about Grande Dame was excellent! The house; the lakefront; the location to many wineries and breweries, and walking distance to a park and playground. The house was extremely clean, and the bunk room was enjoyed by the kids. A great vacation!
By Katee from State College, Pennsylvania, Stay: 06/02/2023 - 06/04/2023Great Time
Beautiful house, great access to the lake, very clean, no complaints!
By Holly from Mars, Pennsylvania, Stay: 04/10/2023 - 04/16/2023One of the best places I have stayed on the Finger lakes!

By Holly W from Pittsburgh, PA, Stay: 04/10/2023 - 04/16/2023We'll Be Back!
This was the perfect vacation spot for our family. When we arrived at the location, everything was set up to perfection. The space was clean and welcoming with each room equipped with individually wrapped towels and washcloths. The bunk room was a hit with the kids. They had plenty of late night dance parties and game playing. It was a hit with who the whole gang. There was something for everyone to do, kayaking on the lake, guitar playing in the family and walks to the nearby park. The house was clean and equipped with everything we needed and wanted for the week. There was room outside for games, and the fire pit was a nice way to watch to the sunset at night. We will definitely be back again! Best stay we have had in the Finger lakes.Thank you very much for taking the time to rate your experience at our rental. We are thrilled to see that you enjoyed a wonderful stay at Grande Dame! We hope to host you lakeside in the Finger Lakes again!

The Grande Dame was an excellent place to call home on our finger lakes holiday. It was the perfect house for our entire family! It was a huge bonus to have the fire pit, kayaks and play ground down the road! We hired Chef Samantha for a delicious meal in one night, which we would highly recommend. We will definitely be returning to this beautiful property someday. Thank you for sharing this special place!

By Tara D, Stay: 09/14/2022 - 09/17/20225-Star Stay!
We spent a few days at Grande Dame and it did not disappoint. There were 6 adult couples and the home was spacious enough to accommodate all of us comfortably. We greatly enjoyed the outside patio area, fire pit and beautiful lake views! We had some great sunsets, and the kayaks were an added bonus!
By Cathy N from Schuylkill Haven, Stay: 06/02/2022 - 06/05/2022Excellent Adventure
I took my whole family there, nine, plus a baby and a dog and there was plenty of room. Bedrooms are spacious, kitchen area/living room was open, and the view of the lake is beautiful. The firepit and kayak's were a big hit. Great place to watch the sunset (or sunrise if you're an early bird). It was close to the wineries and on a quiet street. The only drawback was the bathroom upstairs. It had a jacuzzi, which is fine, but with beds up there for 7 to 9 people, the two showers downstairs had to be utilized for those who don't like to soak. We had an excellent adventure. Party on!
