Romantic Spa-Hot Tub/Sauna/Salt Booth/Heated Himalayan Domes
A Private Sanctuary
The Sanctuary at Seneca: A Private Wellness Sanctuary. Where Timeless Artistry Meets Modern Restoration. Discover a residence designed not just for staying, but for being. Nestled in the rolling landscape of Burdett, NY, this over 80-year-old estate has been reimagined as a sophisticated, spa-inspired sanctuary. It is an intimate retreat for those who appreciate the intersection of historical soul, fine art, and professional-grade wellness.
The space
Tucked away near the misty shores of Seneca Lake, this one-of-a-kind sanctuary is a love letter to slow living and old-world romance. Inside, the air carries a grounding whisper of patchouli and warm clove, leading you through a curated world of signed antiques, 19th-century church mirrors, and original fine art.
Every corner feels like a secret—from the rare, high-profile four-poster bed that invites you to climb into luxury, to the "slow morning" kitchen stocked with farm-fresh eggs, homemade bread, local jam, and hand-bathed truffles. It is a home designed not just to be stayed in, but to be felt.
Your journey into wellness is entirely your own, held within a private enclave where the world outside simply fades away. Submerge yourself in a secluded hot tub under the stars or retreat to your personal infrared sauna for deep, quiet restoration. For the ultimate restorative escape, ascend to the Second-Floor Salt Suite. Here, you can experience the Halo-IR chamber, a synergistic sanctuary of therapeutic salt air, soothing low-infrared heat, and the rhythmic glow of chromotherapy.
The magic continues as you sink into a locally handcrafted wine-barrel Adirondack chair, fitted with a gentle massage pad for your back and neck. While you rest, your spirit is grounded by four heated Himalayan salt domes—two for your hands and two for your feet—designed to pull away tension and leave you in a state of pure, weightless bliss. Whether you are toasting to an anniversary or simply escaping the noise of the world, this is your hidden haven—a place to reconnect, breathe deeply, and linger in the magic of the moment.
The Star-Dusted Soak: Submerge yourself in a secluded hot tub, designed for deep release under the wide Finger Lakes sky.
A Gallery of Heritage & Art
The home breathes with history. Every corner tells a story through "Habersham Country" heirlooms—Georgia-made, signed, and dated.
Reflections of the Past: Gaze into mirrors salvaged from 19th-century Montreal churches and admire walls adorned with the original canvases of Shirley Epstein and the evocative photography of Jack Ion.
Master Craftsmanship: From the intricate mouldings to the hand-finished textures, the artistry of master craftsman Brian Beaumont ensures you are surrounded by beauty.
To maintain this atmosphere of absolute serenity:
An Intimate Enclave: To protect the delicate chemistry of our spa and the quietude of the grounds, we strictly host a maximum of two registered guests. No outside visitors; just you and the one you love.
Whiskered Companions: We welcome one exceptionally well-behaved, house-trained dog to join your retreat (with approval and a $40/night fee). To preserve our vintage textiles, we simply ask that your companion stays off the furniture and rests in their crate while you sleep or explore.
Seasonal Warmth: In the cooler months (Sept–May), our propane fireplace flickers to life, casting a cozy glow over your evening glass of Seneca Lake wine.

We would give this 10 stars if possible. Cannot say enough good things about this place. There is nowhere like this, if you are looking at this listing and it is available, book it now. We can't wait to check it out in every season. Winter was especially wonderful for the hot tub. We were fortunate to get a clear night and had a beautiful view of the stars. Christina is a wonderful host who has gone above and beyond to make a very special getaway.
