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!
