Description Description
‘Seneca Sunsets’ is the perfect vacation spot for wine trail and lakefront enthusiasts!  Located just minutes from Geneva, this well-appointed home features minimal steps and plenty of amenities that appeal to a variety of guests.

Parking for 3 vehicles is behind the home, and a large mostly level yard stretches between that and the house itself.  The main entry is in the rear, and opens into a cozy country kitchen.  Just through the kitchen is a dining area with table and chairs, and a spacious living room with a flat screen cable TV and comfortable furniture.  To the right of the living room is the hallway that leads to three bedrooms and a full bathroom with shower/tub.  An open and bright Florida room is just off the living room, and leads directly out to the lakeside of the house.

Seneca Sunsets has abundant outdoor living space, with two sitting areas above the water and a 4 person hot tub overlooking the lake.  A concrete patio reaches across the entire lakefront portion of the property, with just a few steps down to the natural beach and water’s edge.  Kayaks are available for guests’ enjoyment, as well as a boat hoist!  Water depth is gradual, so this home is ideal for children and adults alike. Located right on the Seneca Lake Wine Trail, Seneca Sunsets is near several popular wineries like Ventosa Vineyards and 3 Brothers Wineries, War Horse Brewery, and even a distillery, as well as many area attractions and the Hobart/William Smith Colleges.

Nice long weekend stay
Immaculate home that had everything we wanted except air conditioning in the bedrooms (the only downside). Perfect location for us. Good amount of space for 4 adults with a great dock and a boat lift. Property management team is also very responsive and cared about our safety. Thank you for sharing this home.

We had a wonderful fall getaway with our pup at this little lake gem.
The house was cozy, the view breathtaking, hot tub a fun plus. Very nice dock to fish off of or sit with a book and relax. Wineries very close by too.

Great stay!

The house was very comfortable and the yard was very nice. We especially loved the backyard patio and hot tub. The stairs down to the water and dock were very steep concrete and would have been very concerning if I had small children. The dock was very nice, sturdy and relaxing. The water was shallow and warm, perfect for swimming and just floating. I am from a family of very avid fisherman and they were very disappointed with the fishing both from the dock and out on the boat. Even the locals say the fish population has declined over the last few years and its not the great fishing destination it once was. We still had a very relaxing and comfortable vacation. Our biggest complaint was we were only allowed 7 people at all times and 3 vehicles even though the parking space would have allowed for 4 or 5. We would have like to have more family as day visitors to enjoy the lake with us.

We had a wonderful long weekend. The 3 season porch with the spectacular views made the rain day not so bad! Outdoor patio with shade tree was very enjoyable and the hot tub a bonus. Property stays on our list to visit again!

Seneca Sunsets
We spent a very relaxing week at Seneca Sunsets and, yes, the sunsets were amazing. The cabin was very well equipped for dinning in, the sun porch was so nice we ate most of our meals there. So nice to sit by the fire pit In the evenings and enjoy the sound of the waves.

Perfect lake getaway

This house was absolutely perfect for our lake getaway. We had 7 adults and it was perfect for us. Our friends brought their boat and docked it there and everything was clean and easy! There was enough room for yard games and the sun room was perfect for board games. It was a very peaceful place to stay!

Awesome Lakeside Getaway Near Geneva!

My husband and I visit the Finger Lakes every year. We usually go with a budget-friendly place, but decided this year to splurge a little bit since we knew our options might be a bit more limited due to the pandemic. This house was PERFECT for our group - 3 adults, 1 toddler, 1 infant, and a dog. We loved the proximity to wineries and downtown Geneva, the direct access to the lake for swimming, the kayaks, etc. We were sad that the hot tub wasn't working during our stay, but communication with the property management company about that was very easy and we were glad to get small refund since that amenity was not available. The space was impeccably clean, I loved having an in-house washer and dryer, and the accommodations were comfortable. We will definitely keep this house on our radar for future visits!

Beautiful cottage right on the lake. Dock was large enough for 7 of us to sit on and watch the sunset then the propane fire pit made for great late night outdoor conversations. The lawn was plenty large enough for the games we brought.

Great place. Location is close to Geneva, but far enough away to enjoy the serenity of Seneca Lake. We were able to dock our boat and there was a nice area to enter the lake for swimming and a large ladder to get up onto the dock. The house was the perfect size for a group of 6 and we enjoyed the sun porch for games and meals. Waking up in the morning to coffee in the hot tub was our favorite!!!

Yet another wonderful stay thanks to Finger Lakes Premier Properties! This year my husband was out of town so I visited solo with our Golden Retriever. This house has excellent lake access for dog swimming, and a pier with a ladder for human swimmers seeking slightly deeper water. The best feature is a generous sun room that is as close to the water as possible, with large windows so you can eat meals or lounge on a sofa while looking at the lake and enjoying its breezes. It was 90 degree weather but the main house stayed cool and comfortable even without ceiling fans running, and there is excellent window a/c available. Master bedroom very comfortable and right on the lake. Very nice neighbors and pin-drop quiet at night, also surprisingly quiet for a Father's Day weekend--relatively few motor craft on the lake and certainly no crazy parties in this neighborhood! Highway sounds surprisingly minimal, almost nonexistent, so if you seek quiet except for song birds--this is your house. The sole bathroom is larger than many, plenty of room to hang towels, abundant hot water. The kitchen is *fully* equipped including a nice espresso/coffee maker. Stove is electric, no dishwasher, but there is a cocktail ice maker and a wine refrigerator. I did not use the hot tub, BBQ or the televisions (there are 2), or the tubes for floating or the 2 person kayak. High speed Internet works great, there is a nice desk for a working vacation. The decor of house is lake-beach inspired with wood paneling, hardwood/linoleum floors, upscale local landscape oil paintings. Extra special thanks to FLPP for refunding one pet fee for our other dog, who died of natural causes (at 14 years young), in Seneca Falls a week before my trip.
