Description Description

Experience luxury, comfort, and tranquility at Seneca Memories, a stunning 4-bedroom lakefront vacation rental ideally situated along Seneca Lake’s west side. Perfectly positioned between Geneva and Watkins Glen, this remarkable home offers the best of both worlds—secluded relaxation and easy access to the Finger Lakes’ most beloved wineries, breweries, and outdoor adventures. Whether you’re planning a family getaway, a couples’ escape, or a friends’ weekend in wine country, Seneca Memories delivers an unforgettable stay filled with elegance, warmth, and breathtaking views!

As you enter this beautiful lake home, your attention is immediately drawn upward to the soaring cathedral ceilings, accented with exposed wood beams that bring rustic charm to the contemporary design. Expansive windows flood the great room with natural light and frame panoramic views of Seneca Lake from nearly every angle. From sunrise to sunset, the living space becomes a front-row seat to the natural beauty of the Finger Lakes, no matter the weather.

The heart of the home centers around the great room’s decorative stone fireplace—a striking feature that adds both style and serenity. Shades of gray and soft blue flow through the open-concept layout, creating a calm, cohesive atmosphere perfect for gathering. Just beyond the living area, the spacious kitchen features handcrafted cabinetry, granite countertops, and a large island that invites guests to gather around while meals are prepared. Whether you’re cooking a locally inspired dinner or sampling your new favorite Finger Lakes wine, the full kitchen provides all the modern conveniences needed to entertain with ease.

A formal dining area offers the perfect space for family-style meals or celebratory dinners, with a long wooden table designed for connection and conversation. Around the corner, fitness enthusiasts will appreciate the exercise area, which includes a Peloton bike and workout bands—complete with lake views that make every workout feel like a retreat in itself.

Each of the four bedrooms at this stylish Finger Lakes vacation rental is a private sanctuary designed for rest and rejuvenation. Every bedroom includes its own dedicated bathroom, offering comfort and convenience for all guests. Thoughtful design touches, quality linens, and serene colors ensure that every guest feels at home. Whether you choose the upper-level king suite or one of the inviting lower-level bedrooms, you’ll wake each morning to peaceful surroundings and drift to sleep each night to the gentle sounds of the lake.

Outside, the magic of this lake home truly shines. A plush, manicured yard leads you down to a fire pit and your private dock, where summer days can be spent swimming, sunbathing, or simply watching the waves roll in. The deck overlooking the lake is the ideal spot for morning coffee, an afternoon cocktail, or a glass of wine at sunset. As day turns to evening, gather with loved ones and reflect on the memories made—each moment framed by the peaceful rhythm of the water.

The location of this vacation rental couldn’t be more ideal. You’re just minutes from some of the best wineries and breweries in the region, including Fox Run Vineyards, Anthony Road Wine Cellars, and Climbing Bines Brewery. Outdoor enthusiasts can explore the waterfalls and trails at Watkins Glen State Park, fish in Cayuga Lake, kayak around Keuka Lake, explore the towns of Ithaca and Rochester, or stroll through downtown Geneva’s charming shops and restaurants. Whether you’re attending a wedding, wine tasting along the Seneca Lake Wine Trail, or simply looking to unwind, this home places you at the heart of the Finger Lakes experience.

With its blend of contemporary luxury, thoughtful amenities, and stunning lake views, Seneca Memories offers an experience as peaceful as it is unforgettable. From quiet mornings on the deck to evenings shared around the fireplace, this vacation home provides everything you need to relax, reconnect, and make lasting memories in the Finger Lakes region!

This lake house was absolutely gorgeous and even more beautiful and spacious in person. Having the large dock and several outdoor spaces to enjoy (despite being on a very narrow lake house road) were thoroughly enjoyed by all, and we loved that there were

Vino Before Vows Bachelorette Weekend
We had an incredible stay at Seneca Memories! The home, views, and amenities are even more incredible in person, and the neighbors were very friendly! Despite the slow and scenic 7 minute drive down from the main road and limited parking spots (which were all worth it for this stunning home right on the water), everyone had the most amazing long weekend away in this gorgeous lake house. We will definitely be back (maybe with spouses next time)! I appreciated the easy booking process, open communication with Finger Lakes Premiere Properties reps, and the homeowners for creating a complete oasis.

Seneca Memories was the perfect Spot for our family reunion. 3 generations enjoyed the space together. We paddled, swam in the lake, hiked, made yummy meals in that well equipped kitchen and enjoyed them in the dining areas overlooking the lake, read good books in the comfy sofas, and made S’mores at the fire pit. We had a fabulous time. Thank you for sharing your home.

This is a yearly event for 3 couples. So far this is the nicest house. Loved the common areas and the fact that everyone had their own bathroom. Although off the beaten path it was centrally located to many of the wineries.

Perfect View!
We had 3 couples stay for a week. The house accommodated all of us perfectly, we had private rooms and space. The furniture in the house is very comfortable and again, enough seating for everyone to have dinner in the dining room or at the island. We enjoyed coffee every morning on the lower dock soaking in the sun and the view. The parking was good for 3 cars as well- we fit all perfectly in front of the house. Highly recommend this home!

Great property in a very private location.  Parking for 3 cars worked perfectly but may only work for 2 if you had 3 large cars.  The bedroom suites were really nice and divided in all 3 floors.  We did have a couple that stayed in the Murphy bed which was a little inconvenient since the basement bedroom suite had to walk through the Murphy bed area for access.  This property would be ideal for 3 couples or a family where kiddos could stay in the basement with their parents but was a bit hard for 4 couples to each have privacy.  With all that said, the amenities were amazing and the location was amazing so we would definitely rent here again!

We very much enjoyed this beautiful home where was plenty of room for our party of 8 adults. The lake view was incredible. It is a good distance from the main highway on a gravel road but worth it when you arrive lakeside.

The location of the home on the lake was lovely. The accommodations were good quality such as the beds, the outdoor and indoor furniture. Other than the things mentioned prior and the lack of parking  we did enjoy our stay in your home.

Seneca Memories was a perfect spot for our group getaway! The house was absolutely beautiful and the view was priceless. At the end of our trip, we did not want to leave and wish we booked a longer stay.
