Everything about our stay was wonderful and we would definitely stay here again on our next trip to the Finger Lakes. The house is spacious and very clean, with beautiful lake views from many windows. The hosts, Annie and Gary, were very accommodating and communicative, letting us check in early due to a snow storm that came through and checking the next morning to see if we needed a plow. The location is great, near many of the breweries we wanted to visit on this trip, with good food nearby as well. Our pup loved it too!

We stayed at Annie and Gary's home a few weeks ago. We love that we were able to bring our dog as we do not travel without her. House was clean and obviously large enough for my family. Location was wonderful and it really is about a 10 min walk to the water/beach. We walked our dog over to Smith Park daily and were able to take her swimming too!! Few hiccups during our stay but Annie and Gary were very quick to respond and resolve any issues. Would absolutely recommend staying here and hope to again in the future.

Awesome vacation home in an Excellent FLX location

This 3 level, 3bedroom/3bath home has everything, and all of the major and minor amenities a vacation home should have, including spacious living room and open kitchen plus dining area, large outdoor deck areas, hot tub, large outdoor gas grill, and a fire pit with loads of seasoned wood to burn. The lovely, private site is located on the SE side of Seneca Lake - which is only a few minute, flat walk away - surrounded by trees but also enjoying a picturesque view of the lake through the branches and leaves. The easy-to-get-to site is down a paved drive (not gravel!), right off of the main road (414) and within minutes of a great restaurant, several wineries, and a convenience store; Watkins Glen is a short 15 minutes away. The 6 of us (3 couples) totally enjoyed spending time together inside and outside of the home, but also appreciated having our private living spaces on each of the 3 separate floors). There are multiple smart TVs, and even a game room which adjoins an additional family room on the lower level. Finally, the host was excellent, clearly wanting our stay to be just right, and was very responsive before and during our stay. Highly recommended!!

Amazing Property!

We spent 4 nights here last weekend and what a wonderful time we had! The pictures don't do this property justice because it is completely renovated and just beautiful. We loved the hot tub and firepit at night. The property is very close to some of the best wineries, so we could go back and forth during the day. The hosts have the home stocked with just the right essentials so we didn't have to bring everything with us. We will definately come back, and this is where we will stay!

Perfect House for a Group

Our family loved this house! It was the cleanest pet friendly home we have ever rented, and the layout was perfect for our family of adult children and their partners, with each bedroom suite on a separate floor. There was plenty of common space inside and out, and we all loved having easy lake access along with the choice of staying poolside at the house. Being so close to many local wineries, the town of Watkins Glen, and minutes from honor-system farmstands and a fresh meat vending machine (!!) made dining in or out simple. Our hosts were very responsive, as well. We are looking forward to returning next summer!

Vacation with Matilda

The house was easy to find and was pretty much central to everything up and down the Seneca Lake Wine/microbrewery Trail from Watkins Glen to Geneva. The house was very clean and looked just like the pictures on the website. As it was just the two of us plus a 13.5 year old dog (Matilda), we basically stayed on the main floor with one short game of air hockey just for kicks. The appliances were all in great shape with no issues at all. The furniture (indoor/outdoor) was very comfortable as well. One shortcoming was the bed in the master was very soft as compared to the firm mattress we have at home. The property is a work in progress as evidenced by the pallets and pallets of stone, slate and technoblock lining the driveway but once in place they will look great! The fire pit was a welcome addition and lit up quickly on the 2nd chilly night. Only dipped our toes in the pool on the last day but in the middle of the summer, we could see it getting a lot of use. Annie communicated with us really well and gave us a few suggestions as far as places to go eat/drink. I highly suggest Dano Haugier for a nice Viennese dinner, Two Goats Brewery and taking in a wood bat College baseball league game in Geneva or Elmira. Overall we had a very nice stay and would highly recommend staying here for a nice relaxing stay along Seneca Lake.

Family getaway

This property has everything you need for a perfect getaway. House is even better in person, updated bathrooms so nice. Kitchen is very well stocked loved the hot tub! Short walk to lake we stayed in April weather wasn't great but I can imagine using the lake in summer would be so convenient. Downstairs area is awesome newly renovated loved the air hockey and darts. My only negative was main floor mattress very soft and lumpy.

Great location.

Our stay was great. The house was in great condition and everything is labeled and easy to find so that you are not searching around for which switch controls what. Instructions are very detailed and easy to follow. You can see the lake from the hot tub and deck and there are great views of sunsets over Seneca lake. If we travel to the area again, we will likely be back!

Very nice stay

We had a nice stay here and enjoyed cooking meals for our family of 5 in the spacious kitchen. A complimentary bottle of wine was a nice touch, thank you. We did the upper Watkins Gen gorge trail and enjoyed it. Caught and released a few fish, one off the nearby dock (Smith Park) and a couple others in a nearby stream. Hot tub was great and we played euker. Had a nice Easter dinner too. Lots of trees being moved around outside. We would like to see when all is done. Looks like it will be nice. We missed the fact we should have brought shampoo, etc. luckily one of us had enough to share. A good stay.

Beautiful home and perfect location

My fiancé and I stayed there over Presidents’ Day weekend with our two dogs. It was a beautiful home in a great location. Very quiet and away from everything right on the lake but also within 5 minutes of a ton of breweries and wineries. Would definitely recommend to anyone the house was great we 3 floors and a bedroom on each floor, fun game area in the basement, hot tub and pool(in the summer) outside. Was the perfect weekend get away home and the house was very clean and can’t say enough about how convenient the location was. Right on the wine trail and close to breweries and the state park trails as well.

Relaxing Getaway

We loved our stay in Hector!! We had 3 separate couples traveling together and the layout of the house was ideal with each of us sleeping on a separate level. We especially loved the lake view from the main living area and deck, the well-equipped kitchen and the hot tub. The beach is a quick walk down the hill and there are many wineries within a few minute drive. Watkins Glen and the Corning Glass museum are an easy drive too. Overall we absolutely loved our stay and hope to do another family trip here again!
