Rapalee Retreat

By Blake from Breinigsville, Pennsylvania, Stay: 11/03/2023 - 11/05/2023

Perfect Wine Weekend

This was our 2nd year staying here for a long weekend…it’s perfect. Great location to access all of the wineries, the house was very clean and spacious, and the fire pit is a perfect way to end the day. We plan on being back again next year.

Clean and comfortable

By far, this was the cleanest property I’ve ever rented. It was very well appointed and comfortable. For the highlights of FLX that was on my agenda it was perfectly located. The moonrise and sunrises were a bonus. Thank you!

By Jennifer from Rotterdam Junction, New York , Stay: 07/29/2023 - 08/05/2023

The Rapalee Retreat was absolutely incredible. Depending on your mood you could have views of the lake or nature. Such a relaxing location. We truly loved our stay at this home.

Sister's Trip

This property was amazing - deer, woodchucks, and chipmunks regularly came to check us out. Both patios looked amazing - however, we arrived just as hurricane Ophilia made it to the area, so it was cool, overcast and rainy for all but one of the days so we were not able to fully enjoy the outdoors. We did a chartered wine tour, drove around the lake and went to several more by ourselves, hiked to the waterfalls at Watkins Glen state park. It was so peaceful and quiet, but so close to many attractions. We will be highly recommending the property management service, and specifically this property in the future

By Christina from Big Flats, New York , Stay: 08/13/2023 - 08/17/2023

Our family had a wonderful stay!  We loved hanging out on the front porch with the beautiful view of Seneca lake.  The house was very updated, clean and had everything we needed and more.  We made life-long memories!  

By Aylssa from Sayreville, New Jersey , Stay: 08/17/2023 - 08/20/2023

The house was identical to the listing online. Very spacious and cozy for our group. We loved the patio looking out to the lake. Our only concern was that the property was not ready by 4pm and we were only notified two hours prior. This was a little bit of an annoyance only because we were traveling so far, however, it all worked out.

By Earle from Grand Island, New York , Stay: 08/20/2023 - 08/24/2023

We would be delighted to return to this property.  We have now rented for two consecutive summers.

By Christopher from Hidden Valley, Pennsylvania , Stay: 08/24/2023 - 08/27/2023

Finger Lakes Couples get away

Great super clean house! Perfect for two couples get away. Easy check in /out. We would definitely stay here again!

Rapalee retreat review

Better than expected

By Anita from Green Island, New York , Stay: 05/20/2022 - 05/22/2022

Great Stay in the Finger Lakes, Seneca

This is our second year at Rapalee Retreat. The house is centrally located in Seneca with far too many wineries and breweries to mention! Beds are comfortable, there’s a great outdoor space with wrap around deck, fire pit, games and spots to relax. We will be back again next year!

By Jennifer from Rotterdam Junction, New York , Stay: 07/29/2023 - 08/05/2023

Awesome views

We were thoroughly impressed with the Rapalee home. The views were spectacular, depending on your mood you could view the lake or you could view nature. We enjoyed the lake access and being able to relax on the dock by the water. The house provided all the amenities for a relaxing vacation. We hope to return again soon.

By Michelle from Drums, Pennsylvania , Stay: 06/11/2023 - 06/14/2023

The best property we every stayed at .  Me and my family were very pleased.  Amazing views , Tons of games , even lots of baby toys for our 8 month old !  Highly recommend and would come back in the future 

By Samantha from York Haven, Pennsylvania , Stay: 06/28/2023 - 07/01/2023

Cost effective and fun stay

My girlfriends and I loved this property. It was centrally located for wineries and breweries. Most impressively - there was a lot to actually do at the house. They had floaties, noodles, kayaks, etc. (we were unable to take advantage because of the smoke from the wildfires in Canada). The home itself was well furnished. We did run across two issues - the AC system was acting up and the previous guests had left plastic in the dishwasher that had clogged it. BUT - ding - ding - ding - we called the night we checked in and someone was there at 10am to fix it both issues. We had a great time visiting wineries and when we got back, we cooked at the house, played ladder ball, cornhole, and other games they had at the home. Bedrooms were nice, beds were comfortable - and the linens came in clean, plastic bags which was awesome. It is a half-mile walk down to the dock. That was very nice each morning - got us up and moving after enjoying coffee on the porch. HIGHLY recommend this property.

By Earle from Grand Island, New York , Stay: 07/24/2022 - 07/31/2022

Great space with great views.

It was nice to have such a large, open space on one floor. Surrounding grounds are spectacular. Enjoyed the patio for dining. When the shower door came off the track, the response was quick and satisfactory. Only two problems: slow WiFi, and a saggy sofa. Otherwise, a great place to stay.

By Lesley V from Parma, OH, Stay: 08/01/2022 - 08/04/2022

House and location were beautiful!

By Stephanie F, Stay: 09/15/2022 - 09/18/2022

The home is beautiful and the location is excellent. We will definitely consider this property again.

By John T from Belford, NJ, Stay: 10/18/2022 - 10/22/2022

Great house, great views, great hiking trails in the area, and plenty of nearby wineries and breweries.  Fantastic!

By Kate H, Stay: 10/15/2022 - 10/17/2022

The house is clean and convenient to local activities. The view of the lake is amazing, we really enjoyed all staying there.

By Esther K, Stay: 10/12/2022 - 10/16/2022

This is a well maintained, well appointed home in a lovely setting.  It’s very convenient to the lake, to hiking trails and wineries. Housekeeping was excellent.  Kitchen newly updated.  The beds, however, are extra-firm; extremely hard. Very uncomfortable.    Also, the 2nd full bath, which is nicely new, very pleasant, is in the unfinished basement. It would not be a problem if dampness does not effect your breathing. It does have games set up down there for the kids. And there is plenty of room for kids to play outside on the beautiful grounds.

By Sandra L, Stay: 10/02/2022 - 10/08/2022

It was our first time to the Finger Lakes region for a holiday; thoroughly enjoyed the scenery, wine and comfort of the home!

By Scott T, Stay: 11/17/2022 - 11/20/2022

The home on rapidly was beautiful. Very clean and well decorated. The view was lovely. We had a slight dusting of snow I gave us beautiful pictures looking out toward the lake.

By Jason R, Stay: 11/10/2022 - 11/13/2022

Both families really enjoyed the location on Seneca Lake and proximity to other lakes and wine trails. Very spacious, clean and affordable.

By Blake B, Stay: 11/04/2022 - 11/06/2022

This was a fantastic place and look forward to visiting again. It’s a perfect location away from the hustle and bustle and close to a slew of wineries. Very peaceful sitting on the front patio or at the fire pit. Couldn’t ask for anything more.

By Lesley from Parma, Ohio, Stay: 08/01/2022 - 08/04/2022

Family Fun

It was the perfect house to connect with our 2 kids before heading back to college. Great location and so close to the private dock.

Terrific weekend

We had a lovely long weekend at the house. Best sunrise view! Close to wineries, breweries, and Watkins Glen. House is comfortable and easy to enjoy - big open living room, dining room and kitchen makes gathering easy. We enjoyed the porch swing in the morning and the fire pit at night. Already planning a return trip.

By Kylie B, Stay: 11/27/2022 - 11/30/2022

Our stay at Rapalee Retreat was wonderful!  It was perfectly located. We loved how quiet it was even though we had neighbors. I would stay here again, absolutely! It was comfortable and has a beautiful view of the lake!

Lovely, comfortable and clean

An awesome vacation with a beautiful view. The open space in front of the home was a refreshing change from the city. The numerous stars at night with no light pollution to spoil it. A light dusting of snow only added to our experience a cozy feeling from the expansive bank of sliders facing the lake. Just wonderful!!!

Beautiful home with well-appointed kitchen

We spent Thanksgiving at this property and found it had ALL we needed in the kitchen to cook a full meal. The open plan living/dining/kitchen worked well for conversation, cooking, and games. Ping-pong in the basement was a perk! The lake view (and sunrise over the lake) was spectacular. It's a quiet location - perfect for your family getaway.

Beautiful home for a family getaway. Short walk to Lake Seneca and includes docks. Lots of outdoor hiking and wine tasting to do nearby. My favorite part was the view of the lake from the front porch every morning and evening.

A very pleasant stay

The check in couldn't have been easier, after the initial confusion of working through a property management company, it was a smooth process. A lot of initial paperwork I never filled out before but I understand it is needed. The company thought of everything. Right down to dishwasher pods.

Family Trip to Wineries

We celebrated my daughter’s 21st birthday by going to a few wineries. The house was perfect!

By Nick B, Stay: 06/20/2021 - 06/25/2021

GREAT HOUSE!

The house was very clean and in great condition. Location was great and all the amenities were awesome. We had a great time. The only thing that would have made life a little easier was if the boat lift was available or the dock had bumpers on the dock and tie downs to secure the boat we rented. Other then that it was absolutely perfect. Would recommend to anybody.

By Al G, Stay: 09/21/2020 - 09/25/2020

By Mallory, Stay: 09/06/2020 - 09/09/2020

My family and i had the best stay here! I was having a hard time finding a good vacation home all on one level to make it accessible for one of my family members, and then i stumbled across this gem that was perfect for, a beautiful view of the lake and a greatdock to hang out on, a spacious living area, and all amenities we needed. It was great space to get our extended family together and spend some quality time together. Thank you! We cant wait to come back!

By Sarah J from Easton, Pennsylvania, Stay: 08/09/2020 - 08/13/2020

We had a wonderful summer at Rapalee Retreat. A beautiful, well-maintained house. The wrap around porch was a highlight for the whole family— a cool, covered place to sit for the adults, and a great “race track” for the kids on their bikes. All in all a perfect fit for our family of four.

Rapalee Retreat was a pure treat for our family stay. I needed a place that would accommodate my 4year old niece to my 74 year old dad. The special touches of toys for all ages incuding the ping pong table for my teenage nephews was absolutely perfect! The views and openness were just stunning. The neighbors were even friendly! We will certainly come back!
