Stugan Seneca Lake House

Tucked along the Seneca Lake Wine Trail, just a short drive from Watkins Glen International, Stugan Seneca Lake House is a peaceful Finger Lakes vacation rental where Scandinavian charm meets lakeside serenity. Designed for both couples and families, this four-bedroom vacation home blends clean modern comfort with rustic coziness, creating the perfect setting for a relaxing escape on the shores of Seneca Lake.

From the moment you turn down the drive, you’re welcomed by sparkling lake views and the timeless beauty of this thoughtfully designed lakefront home. The exterior reflects the simplicity and warmth of Scandinavian design, while inside, a soothing palette of natural wood tones, soft lighting, and carefully chosen décor creates a space that instantly feels like home. Every detail of this Finger Lakes vacation home is designed to help you slow down, unwind, and fully embrace lake life.

The open-concept layout encourages connection and comfort. The fully equipped kitchen makes mealtime effortless, whether you’re whipping up a quick breakfast or preparing a family dinner after visiting one of the area’s local markets. With modern appliances, quality cookware, and ample counter space, it’s as functional as it is beautiful. Gather around the custom wooden dining table to share a meal and conversation, or head out to the stone patio just off the kitchen to enjoy your food with a refreshing breeze and glimpses of Seneca Lake glimmering below.

After dinner, retreat to the inviting living area, where large windows fill the room with natural light and frame tranquil lake views. Open the windows to let in the soft sounds of the water, curl up with a good book, or sip a glass of local wine as you unwind. Whether you’re reconnecting with loved ones or simply savoring a quiet evening, this space invites deep relaxation.

Stugan Seneca Lake House features four comfortable bedrooms spread across two levels, offering both space and privacy. On the main floor, the primary suite includes a plush king bed, while a nearby queen bedroom provides additional comfort for guests. Downstairs, two more bedrooms each feature king beds — perfect for extended families or multiple couples traveling together. A cozy loft area above the main living space offers a secondary lounge area, ideal for movie nights, quiet reading, or simply relaxing after a day on the water.

For those who like to stay active, a private home gym located above the garage includes a treadmill, stationary bike, and free weights — allowing guests to start the morning with an energizing workout before heading out to explore the Finger Lakes.

Step outside and you’ll discover what truly makes this property special. A gently sloping paved path leads directly to the lakefront, where 50 feet of private shoreline and a permanent dock await. Spend your days soaking up the sun, fishing from the dock, or launching a kayak for a peaceful paddle along the shoreline. The calm waters and open horizon of Seneca Lake create an idyllic setting for both adventure and tranquility. As evening approaches, make your way back down to the water’s edge to watch the sun dip behind the distant hills — the sky transforming into brilliant shades of pink, gold, and violet.

Convenience and exploration are right at your fingertips. The home is just five miles from the village of Dundee, where you can stock up on groceries, browse local shops, or stop for a casual lunch. Wine enthusiasts will appreciate the home’s prime location along the Seneca Lake Wine Trail — with renowned vineyards like Herman J. Wiemer Vineyard, Torrey Ridge Winery, and Glenora Wine Cellars only a short drive away. Many nearby wineries host seasonal live music and food pairings, offering guests a taste of the region’s best flavors in a scenic lakeside setting.

For day trips, both Watkins Glen and Geneva are less than 20 minutes away. Spend the morning hiking the waterfalls at Watkins Glen State Park, visit the marina for boat rentals, or explore Geneva’s historic downtown with its boutiques, restaurants, and tasting rooms. Whether you spend your days exploring or relaxing at your lakefront vacation home, you’ll find endless opportunities to experience the beauty and charm of the Finger Lakes.

As night falls, gather on the patio or by the water’s edge to take in the stillness of the lake under a sky full of stars. The gentle sound of waves lapping the shore sets the perfect backdrop for conversation, laughter, and connection.

Blending Scandinavian simplicity with the natural splendor of Seneca Lake, Stugan Seneca Lake House offers a rare combination of style, comfort, and setting. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful retreat, an adventure-filled Finger Lakes vacation, or a cozy gathering place for family and friends, this beautiful lakefront vacation home delivers it all.
