Description Description
Welcome to Sail Away, where the beauty of Seneca Lake and the comfort of lakeside living come together in perfect harmony. This charming Finger Lakes vacation rental sits along the tranquil western shore of Seneca Lake and offers everything you need for a relaxing and memorable escape. With breathtaking views, inviting indoor and outdoor spaces, and a location surrounded by wineries, restaurants, and scenic trails, this lakefront vacation home is the ideal choice for families, couples, or groups looking to experience the very best of the Finger Lakes.

From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel the calm of lake life take over. A paved driveway and stone walkway lead you to the home’s welcoming entrance, where the sound of water and the soft breeze set a peaceful tone. Step inside to find a bright, open-concept living and dining area designed to make gathering effortless.

The living room features cozy seating arranged around a decorative fireplace and a large flat-screen TV, creating a space that’s perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. With wide windows that frame stunning views of Seneca Lake, you’ll find yourself drawn to the ever-changing light on the water throughout the day. Whether you’re reading in the morning sun, playing a family board game, or sharing stories as dusk settles, this room embodies the easy comfort of lakeside living.

Just beyond the living area, the kitchen offers a sleek, modern design with quartz countertops and brand-new stainless steel appliances. Fully equipped with everything you need to cook, it’s a joy to prepare meals here—whether it’s a casual breakfast before heading out for a winery tour or a hearty dinner shared with loved ones. The open layout keeps everyone connected, allowing conversation and laughter to flow easily from the kitchen to the dining area and living room. The dining table offers plenty of space for meals together, but when the weather is right, the patio just outside may become your favorite spot. Step through the glass doors and breathe in the crisp lake air as you enjoy breakfast with a view or unwind with a glass of Finger Lakes wine at sunset. The patio’s comfortable seating invites you to linger outdoors, soaking in the scenery and savoring every moment of your lakefront getaway.

Back inside, the main floor bedroom features a queen bed and large windows that fill the room with natural light. Wake up to the gentle sound of waves against the shore and the peaceful sight of the lake stretching out before you. This room’s easy access to the patio makes it perfect for those who love to step right outside for a morning coffee or an evening under the stars.

Upstairs, you’ll find the semi-private loft—a cozy space furnished with twin beds, ideal for children or extra guests. The loft leads directly into the spacious master bedroom, creating a connected yet private setup that’s perfect for families or close friends. The master suite features a queen bed, large TV, and an en-suite bathroom designed for relaxation, with a luxurious ceramic-tiled shower and a soothing massage showerhead. Every element of this retreat invites you to unwind and recharge after a day of Finger Lakes adventure.

Outdoors, the property’s gentle slope leads down to a large lawn and the glistening shoreline of Seneca Lake. With 75 feet of lakefront enhanced by a picturesque breakwall, this setting is ideal for lounging in the sun, casting a line, or simply watching boats glide across the water. While docking is not available at the property, nearby public boat launches—such as Sampson State Park, just a short drive away—make it easy to enjoy boating and water sports during your stay.

As the sun dips below the horizon, the lake transforms into a canvas of soft pinks and golds, and there’s no better place to enjoy it than right here on your patio or lawn. The peaceful rhythm of the water and the beauty of the surrounding hills make each evening at Sail Away something truly special.

Beyond the property, Sail Away places you in the heart of Finger Lakes wine country. Within a short drive, you can explore dozens of award-winning wineries, craft breweries, and cideries that line the western and northern shores of Seneca Lake. Favorites like Fox Run Vineyards, Billsboro Winery, and Anthony Road Wine Company offer tastings with stunning views.

For dining and shopping, head north to Geneva, just 15 minutes away. This lively lakeside town features farm-to-table restaurants, boutique shops, and scenic parks. Enjoy an afternoon strolling along the lakefront at Seneca Lake State Park, then cap the evening with dinner at one of Geneva’s acclaimed eateries such as Halsey’s, Ports Café, or The Linden Social Club.

Outdoor enthusiasts will love the abundance of nearby hiking and biking trails, from the Keuka Outlet Trail to the scenic routes winding through Finger Lakes National Forest. Whether you’re exploring waterfalls, visiting historic landmarks, or simply taking in the region’s rolling vineyard landscapes, every day brings a new adventure.

Back at your Finger Lakes vacation rental, you’ll find comfort and peace waiting for you. Watch the stars appear over the water, listen to the quiet lapping of waves, and let the simple beauty of Seneca Lake remind you of what vacation is all about—connection, relaxation, and joy.

Sail Away is more than a lakefront vacation home; it’s a haven designed for creating lasting memories. From the first morning coffee to the last golden sunset, every moment spent here feels calm, effortless, and full of possibility. Book your stay at Sail Away today and experience the magic of Seneca Lake living — where every sunrise feels like a fresh beginning and every sunset reminds you to slow down and savor the beauty of the Finger Lakes.

The views at sunset are phenomenal. The beds and pillows are super comfortable and the bathroom showers are wonderful. The house is conveniently located between two state parks within 3 or 6 miles and an easy drive to Geneva, Waterloo and Watkins Glen.

5 Star Stay
I recently stayed at a Seneca Lake cottage that truly deserves its five-star rating! The modern decor and fantastic lake views made it the perfect getaway. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and provided thoughtful touches, from local treats, to pet cookies, to helpful recommendations. The location was serene yet conveniently close to wine trails and everything Seneca Lake has to offer. Every detail was attended to, making my stay both relaxing and memorable. I can't recommend this cottage highly enough—it's a hidden gem!

This cottage was perfect for our friends and us-including our sweet dog, Duffy. The house & furnishings were comfortable and we loved sitting on the deck. The neighborhood was so quiet and close to wonderful restaurants and quaint towns. We loved it all and hope to return.

Overall, Sail Away is a very nice property. We have stayed here 3 times with one other couple since there are 2 bathrooms. It wouldn't be good for another couple since there are only 2 baths. It was cleaner this time and we do appreciate that.

This is a very nice house. I especially liked that I could bring my dog because he’s very old and can’t be kenneled anymore. The location is good. There are some wineries we like very close by. We would definitely stay here again.

Lovely setting

The house was very nice, it had a great view and was very clean. In fact, there was an employee of the FLPP at the house inspecting the job that the cleaning company had done to make sure they did a good job and that they did everything they were supposed to do.

Nice

The house was very clean and bathroom and kitchen were recently remodeled. The location of the house is very close to the 3 brothers winery, which is our favorite! The view is amazing and enjoyed sitting on the doc. Only thing I would change is the decorations- very old and a lot. But everything was beautiful and we enjoyed our stay.

We have stayed at Sail Away for three years and have our fourth visit booked for this fall. The house is perfectly located and right on the water level which is hard to find. We love cooking and enjoying the back deck with a local glass of wine!

Fantastic Lakeview Property on Seneca

Our group of four really enjoyed our stay at Sail Away. The property had everything we needed and the location was close to some of our favorite wineries to visit. The access to the water was great for both kayaking and to take in the views. Highly recommend.

Ideal Getaway!

The property was clean and well maintained. The rooms appeared exactly as they were described on the website. Surprisingly the kitchen was actually larger than it appeared which was nice. The view from the desk was amazing and the perfect set up for relaxing with wine in the evening.

Wow!! What a great time we had. Property was exceptionally clean and just as the pictures depicted. Overall great value for the price. Can't wait to come back next year but w/ swim shoes as the water is a bit rocky & has a lot of seaweed/algae near the shoreline. Awesome location & home!!
