Rapalee Retreat - Wine and Lake Lovers Take Notice!

Take some time to enjoy the breathtaking views from Rapalee Retreat! Located on a quiet, private driveway, this spectacular house offers modern design and a variety of attractive amenities sure to appeal to guests of all ages.

The covered carport offers a convenient spot for unloading, and leads into the open, spacious kitchen. With quartz countertops, an oversized kitchen island and upscale appliances, guests will have plenty of space for preparing and serving meals. The dining room is situated just in from the double doors leading to the covered patio, ideal for enjoying the lake views while dining either inside or outside. The great room offers a 55” flat screen tv with Amazon Fire Stick and a new (2023) sectional sofa for plenty of relaxation. Two bedrooms and the glamorous main bath featuring a fully tiled shower and double sinks are situated off the hall which can be closed off from the living area with a pocket door for extra sound sleeping. The master bedroom offers quests a queen size bed with beautiful lake views. The second bedroom also offers a queen size bed. A bonus room for additional sleeping along with the powder room are conveniently off the kitchen area. The bonus room has a triple bunk set and queen bed.

The lower level features an informal rec room with a ping pong table, foosball, a single and queen futon couch along with the second full bathroom with a shower/tub combo. The covered grilling area is just outside the lower level doors allowing for guests to grill in the shade or out of foul weather.

A wrap around porch/deck runs from the carport to the front of the house facing the lake, and is an excellent location for enjoying the views. A fire pit is located below the house in the yard for enjoying evening campfires and great company! With a two acre yard you will have plenty of room to enjoy all of the outdoor games a family could want.

A short drive or walk down Rapalee Road leads to 40 feet of lakefront, along with a dock for enjoying swimming, sun bathing or fishing. A pair of kayaks and lawn chairs are provided for guests' enjoyment during their stay. While the seasonal dock is not set up to moor a boat, there is a public boat launch less than 2 miles away for guests that are bringing a boat with them.

The home resides in a residential resort area which allows for great evening walks along the water or your choice of two restaurants. Located in the heart of the Seneca Lake Wine and Beer Trail, Rapalee Retreat is just minutes from several fine wineries, breweries, restaurants, and the Windmill Farm and Craft Market. Watkins Glen and Geneva are only a 15 minute drive as well as Penn Yan and the Keuka Lake Wine Trail.

Absolutely amazing!

I can’t say enough about this property, they had everything we could possibly need and more! Lots of pots and pans, utensils, and dishes. Top of the line appliances (no Keurig but not a big deal). There’s a closet full of games and books for when you’re not out exploring the beautiful area. Gorgeous sunrises over the lake and not to mention the beautiful decor!…and everything was pristine! The one very minor downfall was that we couldn’t get the Buffalo Bills game on the tv as there is no cable or antenna. We will most definitely be back and highly recommend.

Surrounded by nature

This is our third summer here. We like this place very much. Great open living space. Loved the new sofa. Birder's paradise. Ate all our meals on the patio, enjoying Mother Nature. Downside was that there was neither cable nor satellite for the TV.

Wonderful Sisters Weekend

The house was very comfortable and homey. Loved the colors. They thought of everything. Extra blankets in the LR to keep you warm while curled up on the couch chatting, night lights, the simple things :) The view of the lake was nice too :). Other than the weather, we had a wonderful sisters weekend and it felt like home :)

Perfect Wine Weekend

This was our 2nd year staying here for a long weekend…it’s perfect. Great location to access all of the wineries, the house was very clean and spacious, and the fire pit is a perfect way to end the day. We plan on being back again next year.

Clean and comfortable

By far, this was the cleanest property I’ve ever rented. It was very well appointed and comfortable. For the highlights of FLX that was on my agenda it was perfectly located. The moonrise and sunrises were a bonus. Thank you!

Sister's Trip

This property was amazing - deer, woodchucks, and chipmunks regularly came to check us out. Both patios looked amazing - however, we arrived just as hurricane Ophilia made it to the area, so it was cool, overcast and rainy for all but one of the days so we were not able to fully enjoy the outdoors. We did a chartered wine tour, drove around the lake and went to several more by ourselves, hiked to the waterfalls at Watkins Glen state park. It was so peaceful and quiet, but so close to many attractions. We will be highly recommending the property management service, and specifically this property in the future

Awesome views

We were thoroughly impressed with the Rapalee home. The views were spectacular, depending on your mood you could view the lake or you could view nature. We enjoyed the lake access and being able to relax on the dock by the water. The house provided all the amenities for a relaxing vacation. We hope to return again soon.

Cost effective and fun stay

My girlfriends and I loved this property. It was centrally located for wineries and breweries. Most impressively - there was a lot to actually do at the house. They had floaties, noodles, kayaks, etc. (we were unable to take advantage because of the smoke from the wildfires in Canada). The home itself was well furnished. We did run across two issues - the AC system was acting up and the previous guests had left plastic in the dishwasher that had clogged it. BUT - ding - ding - ding - we called the night we checked in and someone was there at 10am to fix it both issues. We had a great time visiting wineries and when we got back, we cooked at the house, played ladder ball, cornhole, and other games they had at the home. Bedrooms were nice, beds were comfortable - and the linens came in clean, plastic bags which was awesome. It is a half-mile walk down to the dock. That was very nice each morning - got us up and moving after enjoying coffee on the porch. HIGHLY recommend this property.

Beautiful home with well-appointed kitchen

We spent Thanksgiving at this property and found it had ALL we needed in the kitchen to cook a full meal. The open plan living/dining/kitchen worked well for conversation, cooking, and games. Ping-pong in the basement was a perk! The lake view (and sunrise over the lake) was spectacular. It's a quiet location - perfect for your family getaway.

Lovely, comfortable and clean

An awesome vacation with a beautiful view. The open space in front of the home was a refreshing change from the city. The numerous stars at night with no light pollution to spoil it. A light dusting of snow only added to our experience a cozy feeling from the expansive bank of sliders facing the lake. Just wonderful!!!
