Description Description
Nestled on the eastern shore of Seneca Lake, The Willows offers a charming Finger Lakes vacation rental that combines stunning lakefront views with cozy comfort. This delightful vacation home is perfectly suited for couples or small extended families seeking a peaceful retreat in the heart of Seneca Lake wine country. Whether you’re looking to unwind with a glass of local wine, explore nearby hiking trails, or simply soak in spectacular sunsets, The Willows provides an inviting lakeside escape.

Upon arrival, you are greeted by an open floor plan that invites natural light to flood the interior. A wall of expansive windows faces the lake, allowing panoramic views to fill the great room with sunshine throughout the day. Vaulted ceilings enhance the sense of space, creating a bright and airy atmosphere that blends living and kitchen areas seamlessly.

The first bedroom, conveniently located off the living area on the main floor, features a comfortable king-sized bed designed for restful nights.

This bedroom opens onto a private patio where a comfortable hammock invites you to relax outdoors and enjoy peaceful moments surrounded by nature.

Outside, a wrap-around deck offers a perfect place to end each day with your favorite glass of wine while watching the sun dip below the lake’s horizon. A short walk down a set of stairs leads to a large, level lawn area near the water’s edge, ideal for family gatherings, picnics, or simply basking in the lakeside atmosphere. The permanent dock provides ample space for sunbathing or fishing, while a large tree offers welcome shade during the warmer afternoon hours. For those craving adventure, kayaks are available to explore the sparkling waters of Seneca Lake, offering endless opportunities for fun and relaxation.

It's was a beautiful and amazing place! A better warning should be on listing for no washer/dryer and the true parking situation and real trek having to be made both from parking and then to the lake. Overall great place but may have made different choice

We have been renting with finger lakes premier properties for 5 years now. This was my favorite rental. Lots of great places to relax and hang out. We will definitely be back.

The location and layout of the property is great for visiting north and south. Be prepared to get a workout on the stairs up to the house from the shore, 33 steps in all, but there is an alternate path that breaks up the climb. Sunsets from the dock were

Great location!
The property was close to a few of our favorite places! There were a number of stairs into the property and in the house, but otherwise a good stay!

We loved our stay at the Willows! The beautiful view, swimming and floating in the lake, and the sunsets were amazing. I even tried out one of the kayaks, which was fun. It was probably the most relaxing vacation I’ve ever taken!

The house was very clean and FingerLakes was easy to work with. Just wish check out was a little later (11 am) to coincide with the wineries opening on Sunday. Would have loved to make one more trip to the wineries!!

Sadly, it rained every day, so we did not have the opportunity to take advantage of the outdoor activities. We really wanted to go for a boat ride, and use the property watercraft. Luckily, the wineries, breweries, distillery, and proximity to Watkins Glen made the vacation great anyway. We're hoping to return on a nicer weekend to enjoy the water activities! The property totally met our needs given the weekend conditions. If we rent again, we would search for a property with air conditioning (which we did NOT need this particular weekend!), a dishwasher (because this IS a vacation!), and more distance from neighbors (this was NOT an issue, because none of the neighbors were around, probably because of the weather!). The house is great, the location is excellent, and the lake is beautiful!

Our stay at the Willows was fantastic. Premier Properties' staff called on Saturday to check on us, which was nice. We did mention the strong smell of sulfer with the downstairs bathroom upon check-in. We let the water run and the problem seemed to work itself out. The home was beautiful and perfect for our group. We would definitely stay there again. Also loved the ease of check in by using the code on the door! We will absolutely use Premier Properties to book our next trip!!!!
