What We Love
Nestled in a quiet area close to Lake Seneca access, make this newly built cabin your Hector home away from home.

Numerous nearby trails offer fun options on dry land while the plentiful breweries and wineries make perfect pit stops on the way back.

Inside your cozy cabin, you'll be greeted by warm lighting and an inviting space. Unwind watching your favorite streaming service on the wall-mounted smart TV. The furnished deck provides additional lounging options while letting your guests feel the crisp New York breeze on their faces.

Beautiful place

Beautiful place, perfect area, very clean. We arrived on a chilly damp afternoon and they had the cabin all warmed up for us! Only issue was the hot water. My husband took a shower first and lost hot water in less than 5 minutes. That would be the only thing to improve.

The place was well equipped with supplies and was in a good location. The only issue is hot water runs out very quick. One person can take a short shower. This needs to be fixed ASAP as it’s not comfortable.

Cozy Cabin

The cabin is in a great location on a beautiful farm road. You can easily walk (15mins) to the local diner and vineyard located down the street. The cabin is cozy and small and perfectly outfitted with everything you need. Few things to note, there were few patches of dog poop on our lawn, which we almost stepped on when we were checking in. The next morning we noticed a fairly large dog doing her business throughout the property. It would be nice whoever owns the dog to pick up after their dog and maybe have it a on leash. Not everyone is comfortable with large dogs. The space is small and you can pretty much hear everything throughout the cabin. I don't recommend sharing this space if you are a light sleeper. The cabin is very clean but there were a lot of flies flying around in the cabin. Not sure how they got in. Also, there is no basic cable and be prepared to bring you streaming platform passwords if you want to watch TV. Communicating with vacasa through their texting platform is bit annoying. You only get automated generic responses. But if you do call their toll free number they are quick to respond. Overall, I loved our location and the cabin is cute and perfect for a quick stay!
