Waterfront vacation rentals in Seneca County

The location is great—right by the lake with stunning views. The apartment was clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The host was responsive and made sure our stay was comfortable. Highly recommend this spot for a peaceful getaway

Incredible host! Very responsive and helpful would definitely stay here in the future and recommend this place to my friends!

This studio was a great place for our stay. Robb and his wife are amazing hosts who went above and beyond to make our time comfortable. The apartment was clean, cosy, and filled with all the things needed for our stay. The neighbourhood itself is very walkable and the village shops are only a five minute walk down the road. We wished we could've stayed longer.

Amazing views and close to some of the best wineries in the area. Hot tub is across the street and provides great views of the lake and stars. Joan was an awesome host. She provided us coffee, snacks, and was very responsive. She met us upon arrival and pointed out things to note which was much appreciated.

I can’t say enough about how wonderful Peggy’s boat house is. This is my second time staying here and I have never stayed at the same ABB twice. This time I brought the kids because I wanted to share the beauty of this place and Ithaca and I knew they would love it. Sitting on the dock fishing and enjoying the views on Cayuga lake is so peaceful and relaxing. Peggy is a very welcoming host and keeps the place very tidy. There are so many things to do. Ithaca Falls is a very short drive away. Buttermilk Falls is a bit further away (not much) and is a beautiful hike. Great restaurants are nearby. I love the area and would love to come back someday.

This place is a GEM. Is in fact way better than the photos!!! Very creative design, had everything needed for a great few days visiting with family! I'll definitely be back.

it was great! the area was much bigger than the pictures show, but i don’t know if we missed it, but there’s plenty of appliances (ie. air fryer, toaster, coffee maker) in the cupboards which was a nice surprise!

Excellent experience during stay look forward to next stay!

Staying at Mara's house was exactly what we needed to welcome in 2025. The house itself is immaculate, well appointed, comfortable and has incredible lakefront views to tie it all together. Getting around the Cayuga Lake area was so easy from where the house is located and there are even some incredible wineries and breweries minutes away. The layout and setup of the house was very thoughtfully done and everything we needed (and more) was there. 10/10 excellent stay.

Lori's place was perfect for our annual visit to the Finger Lakes. She has thought of everything to make your stay comfortable- the beds are some of the most comfortable we've stayed in. The kitchen is well appointed with pots, pans, cooking utensils, and we were able to make breakfast every morning before heading out to the wineries- there is even a wine cooler for our favorite white wines! The weather was perfect, and we had our coffee on the back deck every morning by the lake, and enjoyed a blazing fire every night! This area offers so much to do and see, and Lori's place is a great location providing waterfront comfort, and close to the wineries and restaurants. We were able to visit Mackenzie Childs, do a free house tour, then shop in the store- highly recommended! We also went to Skaneateles for some fun girls shopping, took the boat tour, and visited Anyelas winery for live music with a beautiful view! Lori's place is perfect for visiting this area, we give it 5 stars!

We had a very relaxing 3-night stay! Waking up to the view of the lake and enjoying a bonfire as the sun set were the best ways to start and end a day of hiking and visiting wineries. The space is much bigger than I had anticipated which was a nice surprise. The kitchen was well equipped and very clean. There is a gas station about 2 miles up the road too which was very convenient. I can’t stress how peaceful the view was! Even caught a couple fish right off the dock. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back!

Loved the cottage, which easily accommodated 2-10 family members during the week! Beautiful, private location w/an excellent lake front and boating options. As stated in previous reviews, you can hear each other in the space. It helped that we are family. Wonderful jacuzzi tub in first floor suite and good water pressure in first floor shower. We loved the big farm table for meals and games. Seats 10. The incline to the lake takes some care w/older guests but overall was accessible. The views from the cottage are spectacular and Geneva is only 10 minutes away. We would definitely return to this cottage!

We loved our stay at Blackbird Cottage. It felt like home from the moment we walked in the door. It is a great space to kick back and relax. My wife was very excited to find a pamphlet in their suggestion binder for a local farm that provided us a fun day of horseback riding and pumpkin picking with donkeys. Overall, we had a great time and would return to the cottage.

We had a great stay at our wine weekend. It was the perfect location for wineries and dining. Lots to do in the area. Home was just what we were looking for, communication with the home owners was fantastic. We will definitely be back.

Several families members and I decided to take a long weekend on Seneca Lake and this house was perfect! It is bright and spacious with gorgeous views and plenty of outdoor seating. There are also restaurants and wineries/breweries close by. We would definitely rent this house again.

We had an excellent stay at Freedom Awaits. Three of my girlfriends and I were in the area for the Seneca Lake Holiday Wine Trail event. This location was perfect and being right on the water was beautiful! We had everything we needed. For anyone wondering, the current coffee maker is both a full carafe and a k-cup. The shower had great water pressure and the beds were all comfy. It was too cold for us to spend any extended time outside but we ventured down to the water and this would be a great spot for a summertime getaway!

This was an excellent fit for our family of four, with comfortable sleeping and hang-out space. Everything was extremely clean, and the environment welcoming and quiet. We enjoyed playing games at the kitchen table, having a well-equipped kitchen, laundry, and fitness room. We would love to be back when it's warmer to take advantage of the outdoor amenities and convenient walking location.

Although the weather wasn’t ideal during our stay, we were thankful to have a nice place to escape the cold and wind! The condo was in a great location and a short drive to downtown Canandaigua and a reasonable drive to some wineries. The space was pristine, the couch and beds were very comfortable, and we loved the complimentary k-cups! The instructions to find the key were clear and the elevator was right inside the doors at the entrance where the lockboxes were located on the railing. (we watched the YouTube video but found the written instructions more accurate). We would love to come back during another season to enjoy the lake and scenery in better weather conditions. The frozen lake and snow was beautiful though! Overall a great stay.

Outstanding condo. Beautifully appointed, comfortable, spacious, with plenty of amenities. Close to restaurants, the waterfront and downtown Canandaigua.

Great location. Place was clean and felt just like home.

Lori was amazing at communicating with us about some issues we had leading up to our visit. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed every minute of our stay!
