Not as listed
House was clean. It did, however, have a musty smell that did bother our allergies quite a bit during our stay. Property right on lake but the beach was non-existant. It was covered with so many trees and debris, it was unusable. Since the fire pit is also on the "beach", that was unusable as well.

Great stay on Seneca lake
We enjoyed our stay on Seneca lake. Very quiet, beautiful sunsets, all kitchen essentials. Both a regular coffee maker and Keurig. Comfortable and clean house. Something to keep in mind, the horse is located down a poorly maintained road: the road you are supposed to go down is unpaved with a multitude of potholes along with speed bumps so can be tricky to navigate. Neighbors on the other end of the road will ask you to not use their nicely paved road even though it does not post as private at the intersection with the main road and even if you drive down slowly and respectfully and Google maps will take you down that road too. Only issue we had but it was manageable, just very bumpy. My car was already set to get it's alignment fixed the week after our stay so I wasn't too worried about it getting anymore messed up than it already was.

Quiet Cottage on Seneca Lake
Had a wonderful stay on Seneca Lake. This was our first time in the area. This lakefront cottage was perfect for catching beautiful sunsets and also not too far from local attractions, including Watkins Glen State Park. We were not able to fully enjoy the outside areas at the cottage (patio, deck, dock, kayaks) due to weather. We did spend time outside and on the dock when we first arrived. The newer dock is large with plenty of space to sit and enjoy the lake and passing sailboats. The cottage had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. Plenty of space to spread out, relax and read a good book. Cooked a few meals at the cottage, enjoying the lake view from the kitchen window. We would recommend this Seneca Lake cottage!

Peaceful and beautiful
You cannot beat the views from this property. We vacationed here to escape the traffic and noise of home! Exactly what we got. Being on the lake was so peaceful. Gorgeous sunsets. Unfortunately couldn’t use the kayaks water was a little too rough for my comfort but relaxing on the dock was great. Sitting on the deck with my coffee in the morning and just enjoying the view was perfect also. Inside the home you will find everything you need. Paper towels, TP, sheets blankets etc… Very clean inside and comfortable. This home was very comfortable for the two of us!

Wonderful Stay
This house is very clean, comfortable, and close to all of the restaurants in Geneva as well as nearby wineries. The air-conditioning worked really well, and the water pressure in the shower was good. Despite its location on the lake, we appreciated that there weren't any bugs in the house (not even flies), which is sometimes hard to come by. We loved the private dock and beautiful view. Communication with the hosts was friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay again. Thanks again!

The location is great, in a quiet development about a half mile off the main road. Medium bank, gorgeous, new dock, beautiful, outdoor eating area that is easily accessible off of the porch. We had a great time using this as our base to explore the finger lakes region And enjoyed breakfast and dinners here on the lake.

We stayed while participating in the Musselman 70.3 Ironman. The race activities were easily accessible from the house. It was a perfect place to chill out before the race. The lake and sunsets were beautiful. It is a quiet neighborhood which allowed us to get to bed early for our early race start.

Bob and Mary, newly retired in 2020! We have worked in our respective careers for a very long time and looking forward to relaxIng and taking care of our home outside of Rochester NY and our new lake house on Seneca Lake. ‘Taste of Serenity’ is close to so many amenities in the Finger Lakes area which is ‘one’ of the many reasons we fell in love with it!

**Dr license required to be emailed to. Owner within 24 hours of confirming reservation.

Mary is a retired teacher. She loves hosting former teachers/school staff!

We look forward to meeting you soon!🥰🥰

Why they chose this property

Taste of Serenity is not only spotless, but decorated for the renters with everything available at your hands. Stocked kitchen, two grills (propane/charcoal), new heat/AC system and everything else you need for a great time and to feel at home!
The proximity to the wineries and breweries, as well as the wonderful restaurants close by in Geneva is not only convenient, but lots of fun things to do!

What makes this property unique

So close to wineries, breweries, farm markets, restaurants, Wegmans, etc! Also a very quiet area to sit and read, watch the wildlife and the beautiful sunsets on ‘Seneca Lake’.
