Located just south of Geneva on the sparkling shores of Seneca Lake, this elegant five-bedroom vacation home provides an inviting lakeside escape for families, friends, and multi-generational groups looking to relax, reconnect, and explore the best of the region. With its spacious layout, thoughtful details, and incredible lake views, Sunrise on the Bay sets the stage for an unforgettable Finger Lakes getaway.
As you pull into the driveway, the timeless red brick exterior welcomes you with a sense of classic charm and warmth. Step inside and discover the heart of the home—the bright, country-style kitchen designed for both beauty and function. Rich wood cabinetry, gleaming countertops, and a striking royal blue backsplash create a cheerful and inspiring space for cooking. Whether you’re preparing a simple breakfast before heading out on the water or hosting a dinner with local ingredients and Finger Lakes wine, this kitchen makes every meal feel special.
Guests can choose from multiple inviting dining options throughout the home. The small eat-in breakfast table offers a cozy setting for morning coffee while the sun rises over Seneca Lake, filling the space with soft, golden light. For larger gatherings, the sunroom provides a scenic lakeside dining experience surrounded by windows that frame the water. Here, family-style meals come with a front-row view of the lake’s serene beauty. On special evenings, the formal dining area beside the great room sets an elegant scene for dinners by the fire, where laughter and conversation flow easily against the crackle of the flames.
Upstairs, the charm continues across four beautifully appointed bedrooms. Each features gleaming hardwood floors, plush bedding, and tasteful décor that creates an atmosphere of calm and relaxation. With a mix of king and queen beds, there’s space and comfort for everyone to unwind after a day of lake adventures or winery visits. On the lower level, a fifth bedroom provides added privacy and easy access to a nearby full bathroom, making it perfect for guests who prefer a little extra quiet or for accommodating extended family members.
The downstairs living area invites you to slow down and settle in. Leather sofas and chairs create a comfortable space for reading, sharing stories, or simply gazing out toward the water. It’s a peaceful spot to retreat for a quiet afternoon or a cozy evening in, especially after a day spent exploring the Seneca Lake Wine Trail or hiking the nearby Finger Lakes parks.
Outside, the property truly shines. The lakefront deck and patio extend the living space outdoors, offering the ideal setting for dining al fresco, relaxing in the sun, or entertaining family and friends. Whether you’re grilling dinner as the lake breeze drifts through the air or enjoying your morning coffee with the gentle sound of waves against the shore, every moment spent outside feels rejuvenating. The expansive yard slopes gently down to the water’s edge, where a beautiful stone firepit creates the perfect setting for evening gatherings. Roast marshmallows under the stars, open a bottle from a nearby vineyard, and watch the sun sink below the horizon, painting the lake in soft pinks and golds.
Sunrise on the Bay’s location is ideal for guests who want both tranquility and convenience. Just a short drive away, you’ll find Geneva’s charming downtown with restaurants, boutiques, and cultural attractions. Spend an afternoon exploring the historic Belhurst Castle, sample local wines at Fox Run Vineyards or Billsboro Winery, or take a scenic drive around Seneca Lake to discover hidden tasting rooms and farm-to-table eateries. Outdoor enthusiasts will love being close to Keuka Lake Outlet Trail and Watkins Glen State Park, where breathtaking gorges and waterfalls await. For guests attending graduations or events, Hobart and William Smith Colleges are just minutes from your door.
