Lake Reflections: Family Friendly Retreat!
Tucked along the tranquil shores of Seneca Lake, this charming three-bedroom home offers the perfect Finger Lakes retreat for families, couples, or small groups. Ideally located between Hobart & William Smith Colleges and Watkins Glen International, Lake Reflections combines peaceful lakeside living with easy access to some of the region's most loved attractions.
Step inside and feel instantly at home. The enclosed three-season room is one of the most relaxing spaces in the house — filled with soft blue and coral tones, plenty of natural light, and a dining table overlooking the water. It's the perfect place to sip your morning coffee while watching the sunrise or enjoy a quiet dinner as waves gently lap along the shore.
The galley-style kitchen is stocked with everything you need for easy vacation cooking, including plenty of cookware, utensils, and dinnerware. You'll love preparing meals with views of the lake! Stop by the nearby Windmill Farm and Craft Market for local produce and homemade treats to bring some true Finger Lakes flavor to your stay.
The cozy living room invites you to unwind after a day of exploring. Stretch out on the plush sofas, curl up with a good book, or enjoy the soft glow of the electric fireplace on cooler evenings.
With three comfortable bedrooms, this home easily accommodates families or small groups. The main floor features one bedroom with a queen bed and another with a double bed, plus a full bathroom with a tub and shower combination. Downstairs, the third bedroom includes two sets of twin bunk beds — the perfect setup for kids or extra guests.
Outside, the lake is just steps away. Spend your days kayaking, swimming, or relaxing in an Adirondack chair while the waves roll in. The property offers 75 feet of natural lakefront and a permanent dock with a spacious platform where you can sunbathe or enjoy the view. While boat docking isn't available, you'll find the Severne State Launch nearby if you'd like to take your boat out on Seneca Lake.
In the evenings, gather around the firepit and watch the sky turn pink over the water — the kind of moment that makes lake life unforgettable.
When you're ready to explore, you'll find plenty to do nearby. Taste local wine at Miles Wine Cellars or craft beer at Climbing Bines Brewery, hike the scenic Keuka–Seneca Outlet Trail, or take a short drive to Watkins Glen State Park for incredible waterfalls and gorge views.
Whether you're here for summer days on the water, a cozy fall weekend, or a quiet winter escape, Lake Reflections offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and natural beauty. Come experience the best of the Finger Lakes and make lifelong memories at this peaceful Seneca Lake retreat.
There is no boat docking available at this home.

Everything was great with the location, dock on the water. Available kayaks and life vests and paddles. Cleanliness definitely could’ve been better, lots of spiderwebs all throughout.

Wonderful place to stay for a little family get away. The room with the bunk beds was kind of small but we made it work. Only 30 minutes from Watkins Glen so day trips were easy. The lake was a little murky though but a few days it was clear enough to get into.

Great location
The property is gorgeous and the area was very quiet and relaxing. Perfect location on the lake and close to a plethora of vineyards, distilleries, breweries, and cideries. Watkins Glen is a close drive from the house. Plenty of wildlife in the area.

The location on the lake was terrific, and the house was clean. The bedrooms were small and the mattresses were on the soft side. My biggest complaint was that the price per night stated is only half of the total bill. You need to be aware of the fees charged as they doubled the total amount. The fees or clearly stated.

Fun at the lake
We loved the house, right on the lake. Very clean, had everything we needed in the kitchen, and bedrooms were just as advertised. Sitting outside by the water was just so relaxing. The view from inside the house is almost as good as sitting outside. Would definitely recommend this house!!!

Birthday Weekend trip
This home was beautiful and exactly as pictured online. The lake view was perfect and the proximity to local wineries, restaurants, and the neary boat launch was great. The house was very clean, updated, and had that perfect cozy lake house feeling. The fire pit, kayaks, and dining table on the dock were nice perks, too! The upstairs beds were okay, but might be a little uncomfortable for a longer stay. Our biggest complaint was that in the listing it states that the use of the boat dock is dependent on the water level at the time of your stay, but we found out from the neighbor that we were unable to use it per the owner's request. This would have been extremely helpful to know beforehand as we brought a boat and had to scramble to find alternative parking for the weekend. I assume that is a generic statement about all properties that have a boat dock, but this should definitely be made clear in the listing that you are not allowed to use it. This was an extra cost that we were not expecting. Overall, a great house and great stay!

Great Location
Nice property, and great location to wineries, breweries, hiking, and shopping. There are four kayaks, life jackets, a new decent sized gas grill and a great fire pit. The check in was a little late and departure early. Lots of ants in house, even despite the many ant traps. All good needed to be refrigerated due to this. Penn Yan is a must do along with the Spotted Duck creamery. So fun!

Making this spot an annual trip for sure!
We have nothing but great things to stay about this place! Clean, cozy, and cute! It had everything we would need for a long weekend trip, right on the clean and beautiful Seneca Lake, next door to a winery (that you can also kayak too), 15-20 minutes from other wineries and the grocery store, and the rental property was very communicative. It really is a perfect getaway enjoyed by the adults and kids and a place we’d like to visit yearly. We actually checked upcoming available dates while there – we already miss the place!

Perfect place to stay at Seneca
This property was the perfect experience for staying in the finger lakes. It had everything we needed - perfect lake front views in and outside the house, a fire pit, a grill, kayaks, a fully stocked kitchen, and more. The location is perfect, within 20 minutes of about 20 places to visit. You can even kayak or walk to the nearest winery, Miles Wine Cellars. Thanks for a great stay.

The property was beautiful and the cottage was immaculate! Two families with 4 kids, aged 7-11, and it was perfect. We all loved kayaking, sitting by the fire, skipping rocks in the lake and watching the wildlife.

Don’t drink the water
After a week of drinking the tap water, I found a small sign saying iit was lake water and not suitable for drinking. That should have been at the very TOP of the check in procedures if not a signed disclosure. I read every word of each document they sent and their was no mention of polluted drinking water. Management gave little consideration to my family’s health and I do not appreciate it. They took the time to frame a little sign at each sink warning us to be conscientious of their fragile septic and I was. I expect the same consideration.

Great Lakefront property
This was a beautiful property and it's proximity to the lake was wonderful. We were able to wake up in the morning and have coffee out on the table at the end of the pier or out on the patio just outside of the kitchen. We did have quite a few ants in the kitchen when we arrived that I believe the owner was aware of as there were ant traps laid out. The house on the whole, however was clean and tidy and as bug-free as one could expect in a house in the woods. The beds we're comfortable and all of the furniture was in good shape. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a Finger lakes getaway!
