Full of old-world charm, this lakefront property is tucked into the hillside on the southwestern shores of Seneca Lake, mere minutes from Watkins Glen. Enjoy 150 feet of shale waterfront, a dock with a motorized boat lift, a new kayak, two canoes, and a rowboat to take out on the water. Admire the view on covered porches and take soothing soaks in the private hot tub. An outdoor firepit and indoor fireplaces to add warmth, while a window air-conditioning unit adds comfort to your next Finger Lakes escape.

This hillside home sits on the southwestern shores of Seneca Lake, close to excellent wine tasting and wine tours along the Seneca Lake Wine Trail. Launch your personal watercraft at the public boat launch at Severne Point (eight miles north), hit the local hiking trails, and view the spectacular waterfalls in the area. Book a sailing trip with Schooner Excursions (nine miles south), and spend an afternoon at Tabora Farm and Winery (two miles north).

10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
I stayed here with two girlfriends for a weekend trip. We had such a blast and the house was way bigger than we expected! Three separate porches to hang out on, 3 bedrooms upstairs, 1 bedroom downstairs with an additional living room that can function as a 5th bedroom because of the trundle daybed. Multiple families could stay here and have plenty of space. The kitchen had everything we needed and there were tons of extra blankets. We had one issue where we couldn't locate a hairdryer, and someone brought us one right away. I was a bit nervous about the reviews mentioning spiders, but we literally saw one and it was in a sink - totally normal for a lake house. My only minor issue was the road/driveway leading to the property - my car is a bit low profile and would scrape when going from the road leading up to the driveway pointing down (a bit of a blind move and made me anxious each time!). But the whole thing felt like an adventure and it was awesome!
