Wine Down Bungalow-Newly Renovated, Perfect For Two! Your private lake break!

The Wine Down Bungalow on Seneca Lake ensures your total privacy with 1 exclusive parking spot for your stay. The bungalow completely remodeled in 2023. It is a separate cottage/apartment from the main lakehouse where you will receive an exclusive key pad entrance to unlock your way to a spacious style bungalow. The Wine Down has a stand up shower and closet with linens/towels. Dinette for two, kitchen including fridge, microwave, toaster oven, Keurig and varieties of kcups and tea.

Less than a mile down the road is Roy's Marina where you can rent all your watercraft needs for the day. Additionally, we are less than a 5 minute drive to downtown Geneva and numerous restaurants to explore during your time. ***Note: This rental comes with shared access only to the dock with our larger 4 bedroom home renters.

We enjoyed our stay at the bungalow. Perfect for two people. The place was clean and had everything we needed. Also, close to Geneva and the many many wineries. The only drawback was the bed,.. It was listed as a queen, and it was not. Also, the mattress was very uncomfortable.

The bungalow was in a perfect location with a beautiful view of the lake. Everything we wanted to do was just a short drive away which made it perfect for a quick getaway weekend. The only knocks I have about the property is the stairs to get to the bungalow are a little steep. The flooring inside also was uneven and the mattress sank in the middle. Otherwise the place was beautiful and would recommend for a quick retreat!

Close to town, restaurants, and wineries. The unit is in a converted garage behind the main house with a DIY vibe that's basic, but functional. Nothing fancy, but comfortable.

Great location near Geneva, NY

Overall 4 stars - pluses for owner communication, location, parking. Minuses for kitchen counter layout, uncomfortable LR chairs and a way too big and heavy coffee table. Fantastic location on the west side of Seneca Lake and close to Geneva, NY.

No Water view but access

From the photos that were on the listing do not show you what your actual view is. You are staying at a repurposed garage that is very nice that isn’t the problem. But I thought we would have a lake view. What you actually see is the main house and no view of the water. The listing in my spouse and I is very misleading. I sat sometime on this review before writing It because I hoped my opinion would change. Unfortunately it didn’t. If you want to have a place close to the water this is the spot if you want a water view this is not. Overall had a great stay but the deception of having a view really hurt my opinion of this place.

Great place to stay

We had a great stay in Geneva. The Wine Down Bungalow is clean, spacious and perfect for a few nights away. We had the dock to ourselves for the solar eclipse. Great space to stare out onto the lake. Our first morning, the shower water did not get hot. The owners were quick to respond and it was fixed immediately. Very responsive and easy to deal with. We’d recommend this place to anyone looking for a cute place to stay about a ten minute drive away from the center of Geneva.

Great Eacape

The property was as expected… the (shared) dock was a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the beauty of Seneca Lake. We were lucky that the “big house” was not occupied, as the lakefront would not have been nearly as nice with others around so close. It was perfect for us to come and go while visiting friends and family, would stay again. Owner and Manager were perfect.

Needs updating

Needs updating because several things are broken, paint job is shabby, linens are poor quality, the bed mattress is very soft and sinks in the middle, One window will not lock and a shade needed re-stringing in order to work. Otherwise the place has potential if upgraded.

Cozy getaway

This is a great place for a quick getaway to the lake. The bungalow is basically a renovated garage which is very cool but also a little small. But, it was perfect for me and my boyfriend for a couple days. Stephanie was very nice and communicated quickly with me. The dock is absolutely beautiful with really nice Adirondack chairs. There is a larger home that has more access to the property which was disclosed in the description. I was completely okay with being able to have access to the dock. It is next to a railroad which was surprising but you can’t hear it at all at night. Overall I really enjoyed our stay at the bungalow, it was clean, has AC, and plenty of room for a quick couple nights on the lake. Definitely recommend!

If you decide to stay in the “bungalo”, there are some things you need to know: 1. It’s not a bungalo, it’s a tiny studio apartment above a garage 2. There are some steep steps going up to the place, and the chairs are very uncomfortable. 3. You DO NOT have a view of the lake. All of the pics of the lake are from the view of the big lake house. 4. There is no cable and the roku remote is broken, but you can use your phone with the roku app. Basically, it’s a bit of false advertising going on here. Not worth the price.
