Description Description
Tucked along a quiet road overlooking the sparkling waters of Seneca Lake, Heron House is a peaceful lakefront retreat designed with relaxation and comfort in mind. From the moment you arrive, this beautifully decorated pet-friendly 4-bedroom vacation home welcomes you to unwind, slow down, and enjoy the simple pleasures of lake life in New York’s stunning Finger Lakes region. Whether you’re gathering with family, meeting friends for a wine country getaway, or simply seeking a serene escape, Heron House provides the perfect setting for a memorable stay!

Step through the front door and into a bright, thoughtfully designed space that combines modern comfort with the warmth of a lake cottage. The entryway opens to a quiet office nook and a convenient first-floor bathroom, offering function and flexibility for guests. Just beyond, the open dining and living area features eight-foot sliding glass doors that frame breathtaking lake views. Natural light fills the room, creating an airy and inviting atmosphere ideal for morning coffee, family meals, or cozy evenings in. A working electric fireplace adds ambiance as you settle into the plush seating and watch the sunlight dance across the water.

The fully updated kitchen makes cooking and entertaining effortless at this lake home. With modern appliances, ample counter space, and a large dining area, it’s easy to gather and share meals together. Whether you’re preparing a family breakfast before a day of exploring or opening a bottle of local wine to enjoy with dinner, this space is designed to bring people together. Step out onto the lakeside deck and take in the panoramic view of Seneca Lake stretching across the horizon. Evening sunsets paint the hills in warm, golden light—the perfect backdrop for a quiet nightcap or conversation under the stars.

After a day on the water, retreat to one of four comfortable bedrooms designed for rest and relaxation. The first-floor bedroom features a queen bed and a television, conveniently located near the main living spaces. Upstairs, the master suite offers a king-size bed, a cozy sitting area with a 42-inch flat-screen TV, a queen sleeper sofa, and expansive lake views that make mornings especially peaceful. Two additional upstairs bedrooms—one with a queen bed and one with two twin beds—ensure everyone in your group has a cozy and private place to unwind. A full bathroom with a tub/shower combination serves the upper level, while a second full bath is conveniently located downstairs.

Outside, the lake home offers plenty of space to relax and play. Children will be thrilled to discover the custom-built wooden pirate ship in the yard—a two-tiered, fifteen-foot replica complete with a gangplank and steering wheel, perfect for imaginative adventures. The walk down to the lake takes you under a large gazebo and opens to a gradual, 110-foot stretch of private lakefront. A wooden patio shaded by overhanging trees provides a peaceful spot to enjoy the gentle lake breeze, read a book, or sip your favorite Finger Lakes wine. The natural, shallow lake bottom is ideal for wading and swimming, making it a family-friendly shoreline where kids can splash safely. A dock extends out into the water, perfect for fishing, launching a kayak, soaking up the sun, or simply sitting back and watching the waves roll in.

This Finger Lakes vacation rental is perfectly situated in the heart of the Seneca Lake Wine Trail, offering easy access to some of the region’s best vineyards, breweries, and attractions. Just across the lake, Hobart and William Smith Colleges add to the charming scenery. A short ten-minute drive brings you to downtown Geneva, where you’ll find excellent dining, shopping, and conveniences such as Wegmans grocery store. Enjoy dinner at Belhurst Castle or Geneva on the Lake, or spend an afternoon tasting wines along the Seneca Lake Wine Trail. For even more entertainment, the Del Lago Resort & Casino, Waterloo Premium Outlets, and several public golf courses are all less than twenty minutes away. The Finger Lakes Drive-In Movie Theater and Finger Lakes Racino offer additional family-friendly activities within a short drive. Take a day trip to Ithaca or Rochester, spend sunny days fishing for salmon in Cayuga Lake, bike along scenic Keuka Lake, hike in Watkins Glen State Park, or rent a boat and explore Canandaigua Lake.

With its comfortable layout, stunning views, and close proximity to the area’s top attractions, this charming lake home is the ideal destination for families and groups looking to experience the best of Seneca Lake living. Whether you spend your days exploring local wineries, swimming off the dock, or relaxing by the fire with loved ones, this vacation home offers everything you need for an unforgettable Finger Lakes getaway!

Premier is the way to go , they make everything so easy right from the start !! Our home Heron House was everything we expected and more . So clean and modern . Plenty of space and beautiful lake view . Steps to lake maybe hard for someone with mobility issues , they are a little steep . But as long as you take your time and be careful . We are already planning on booking the same home next year . Very close proximity to grocery stores , places to eat and of course the fabulous wineries !!! Can’t wait to go back !!

We had a fantastic time at Heron House in October.
The weather was gray with a little rain but that didn't matter because our rental was such a pleasant place to stay while watching the rain fall on the lake. There are many places around to hike and we were so happy we could bring our dog and take advantage of all these. There was a place to walk our dog along the private road in the morning. We also took him to wineries and breweries which were dog friendly. So once again the location is fantastic and the accommodations were outstanding.

The Heron House is a quaint home on the lake with a beautiful view of Seneca Lake.
Our visit was in November, where the weather was cool and snowed one day. Even though the skies were gray, we were able to watch an eagle fly over the lake and swoop down to catch a fish for breakfast. What an amazing sight to see! The only problem we encountered was that we were not able to access the home via the access code provided. We had to contact the after hours emergency number for the lock box code to get the key, due to an issue with the system not working for keyless entry. Other than this glitch, we enjoyed our stay very much.

Gorgeous sunsets!

Heron house offers gorgeous sunsets, beautiful mornings and lots of watery fun on a little beach. You’ll also enjoy walking on the country roads nearby and many other fresh air activities. The kitchen is big enough for many people to crowd into to make a communal meal. The yard is completely fenced so our dogs were able to stay confined and safe. We had a fabulous visit.
