Another Year / Another Stay at Christine's Cabin

We did our annual trip to Seneca Lake and for the last several years we have stayed at Christine's cabin - it is very convenient to see friends we have in the area and to visit the wineries on Seneca Lake. The Cabin is always clean and everything works well - the gas grill outside was recently updated I noticed. Thanks for another year and we'll be back next year if not sooner.

The sweetest little cozy cabin!

Henry and Sue’s cabin is spotlessly clean, full of personal touches, and steps away from Seneca Lake and the most perfect sunsets you’ll ever see. It’s also located in truly the best spot in the Finger Lakes (all the major wineries you’d want to visit are on the road directly adjacent to the cabin). Check in was seamless, and my husband and I had the best weekend hiking, biking, having bonfires and sampling the local wines. Truly a hidden gem!

Beautiful place to stay while in the area. Far enough away that ots peaceful but close enough that you can go either direction and enjoy food, wine and beer. Owners was very nice and easy to deal with.

Hidden Gem

What a great little cabin! You get the best of both worlds…a private wooded environment just steps from the shore of Seneca Lake. And wineries and breweries so close by! Sue and Henri do all they can to make you feel at home and avoid bringing half of your house by supplying linens, towels, and even fresh coffee and half and half! We spent 4 nights in the adorable place and felt like we were at home every night. Someone else wrote that the bed is hard…it is far from hard! Very comfortable (as long as your husband doesn’t take up the whole bed! Ha) We will return when the weather is more cooperative so we can put our jet ski in the water! Mel and Ty

Another Excellent Stay at Christine's Cabin

We stayed for 5 nights at Christine's Cabin to enjoy wineries and meet friends at Seneca Lake. This has become an annual event for us and we have stayed at this cabin for the last several years. It is an excellent location to explore wineries on Seneca and Keuka Lakes and see friends in the area.

Cozy Cabin

We enjoyed having the cabin as home base for our exploration of the Finger Lakes region, and the area is quiet and private. The only thing that would be better is a clearer view of the lake itself. Overall, though, it was a great getaway!

Jay and Lisa's Vacation

Perfect cottage for two people. Located in a quiet area. Learned a valuable lesson, if power goes out don't take it for granted that it will come back on soon. Get some ice. We ended up throwing out a $100.00 worth of food. Outside of that it was a very nice place, we enjoyed it.
