Russell's Rendezvous - Enjoy a Vacation Full of Adventure!

Russell's Rendezvous is a welcoming lakeside home on Seneca Lake, perfect for families, couples, or groups looking for a Finger Lakes escape. With three bedrooms, three full baths, and two queen sleeper sofas, this retreat comfortably accommodates guests while offering both relaxation and fun.

The main living area features a cozy gas fireplace, spacious dining room, and country-style kitchen, all with beautiful lake views. Step outside through French doors to a covered deck that overlooks Seneca Lake, an ideal spot for morning coffee or evening drinks.

Downstairs, the family room is packed with entertainment, including shuffleboard, bumper pool, darts, foosball, and a cabinet full of games. A second fireplace adds to the cozy feel, and the room opens to a lakeside deck with a hot tub.

The outdoor spaces are just as inviting, with 50 feet of natural shoreline, a 100-foot dock for boating and swimming, and a lakeside firepit for evenings under the stars. Located near Penn Yan, wineries, and the Keuka Lake Outlet Trail, this home is the perfect base for Finger Lakes adventures. Your Seneca Lake getaway starts at Russell's Rendezvous.

Great Lake House

We had a great time here. So much to do between the dock, hot tub, grill, the awesome fire pit. Really relaxing to hear the sounds of the lake lapping up against the shore and seeing the big dipper from the end of the dock. We would definitely come back!

There is so much space- 4 outdoor patios with seating right on the water, awesome hot tub on the lake, fire pit ready to go on the water with great seating and best views of Seneca lake! The basement was so fun- shuffle board, card table and a cliset full of games/puzzles! I could go on about how well the kitchen is stocked....Great area between the North and South of Lake Seneca- It was easy to get to Watkins Glen(a must go to with trails of breath taking waterfalls), 3Brothers Winery-fun for everyone, Roy's boat rental-we had a grest day boating and tubing- Geneva has a free dock-we tied off and enjoyed time in Geneva-lots to eat and see!

Wish we stayed longer!

Wonderfully clean property with amazing amenities! We had 3 couples (6 adults total) and there was plenty of space for cooking and eating together, relaxing, and enjoying the outdoor spaces. We're already making plans to come back and stay again next year! Also - contacted the property managers for an early check-in and late check-out and were accommodated for both. If you're considering booking this property - do it!!

Perfect Beach House!

Spent a weekend in this house with 2 other couples, perfect house for this group. Kitchen had everything we needed and more! Beautiful views from both inside and out. Great house to hang out in - lots of amenities both inside and out. Very welcoming and comfortable, fireplace was great on a cool evening. Plenty of room to spread out or gather as a group. Close to town and many wineries. Will definitely be back!

Absolute Dream

This place was absolutely beautiful!! You cannot have a better view of the lake. The house is spacious and has a whole finished lower level that includes more hang out space. The weather was perfect during the days we stayed and it made everyone fall in love even more with the property. I got ready here for my wedding and it couldn’t have been more perfect.

Great gem on the lake!

We did a girls trip and stayed in this beautiful home! The kitchen was well-equipped and large to cook big meals, although we did not. The multiple levels of decks were fantastic and we loved watching the sunrise over the lake from the top deck. Plenty of storage space, especially in bathrooms. I do wish there was more seating in the main living room area, but we made it work. Lovely home and fantastic stay!

Cousin's Reunion

Our group was six adults and Russel's was the perfect place. Very clean, well stocked kitchen in terms of dishes and utensils. Highly recommend bringing extra bath and kitchen towels as well as paper products, as they are very limited in what is provided. Beautiful property with two decks, plenty of outside and inside seating. Seneca Lake is a wonderful setting with so many Wineries, Breweries, Distilleries and Restaurants near by.

The initial check in code didn’t work, but we were quickly able to call the service number and get a new one. The house was beautiful. So many activities with the hot tub, fire pit, shuffle board, and things like a surprise kayak and paddle board! The house was well equipped in the kitchen, but make sure to bring all your own spices and oils for cooking. There was a keurig and regular coffee pot with a reusable filter. The beds were very comfy, and there were plenty of extra blankets in the closets. Overall we loved our stay and would definitely come here again!

Beautiful house

The house was beautiful, clean and spacious. We appreciated the labels on light switches. It would have been nice to have another recliner in living room as there was seating for only 3. Unfortunately it rained 90% of our stay. With that being said, the canvas awning has some holes prohibiting us from sitting on deck during the rain. Overall we made the best of everything.

Best Lake House Ever!

This house was the PERFECT get away for a group of friends. Hot tub - check. Lake access - check. Various water sports - check. The most beautiful lake view from the kitchen/living room/decks - CHECK. The beds were also crazy comfortable (coming from someone that is generally so picky), and it had plenty of space for whatever we wanted to do. It was also in amazing shape and the electronic door code made entry so easy. We've all spoken about how we want to stay at this property again it was just that good!

Bachelorette

This was a great property to stay at for our low key bachelorette weekend. We drove a 17 foot RV and were able to park it on the street comfortably. The property and view are amazing! We took the pedal boat out and got a great view of the shoreline too! We went winery hopping Saturday and then had a day of sun and fun at the house Sunday.
