Conveniently located in Hector, NY, on the east side of Seneca Lake. This renovated farmhouse cottage is bordered by vineyards owned by Hazlitt 1852 Vineyards. During warmer months, enjoy a glass of wine sitting on the large back deck while surrounded by grapevines. In the evenings, enjoy a relaxing evening on the deck around our gas-powered fire pit. The wrap-around front porch provides cool shade and a wonderful breeze for hotter days. For winter rentals, the house is fully insulated andheated by a gas furnace, with an electric fireplace for ambiance and a cozy winter stay.

Inside, you'll find hardwood floors throughout the dining and living rooms, a kitchen with a gas range, microwave, dishwasher, and refrigerator with in-the-door ice and water. A few steps down from the kitchen is a cozy sunroom - perfect for morning coffee! The large full bathroom includes a washer and dryer for our guests' convenience. The second floor features two bedrooms with an incredible view of the vineyards and Seneca Lake from the master bedroom.

Hector Vineyard Cottage sleeps up to six persons – two in each bedroom, and two on the living room futon (with a queen-size mattress). Bedrooms feature two twin beds that can be arranged as separate twins or put together as a king-size bed with a comfy king-size mattress pad - just let us know which arrangement you prefer!

Sawmill Creek Estates (formerly Hector Wine Company) is just across Route 414 – perfect for walking over to enjoy their weekend live music and a glass of wine on their patio. Be sure to check out their artisanal marketplace for fresh, local foods, including meats, cheeses, veggies, fresh breads, and more!

Some of Seneca Lake’s best-known wineries and restaurants are all within less than five miles from the cottage, including Wagner Vineyards & the Ginny Lee Cafe, Scale House Brewery, Hazlitt 1852 Vineyards, Leidenfrost Vineyards, Stonecat Cafe, Red Newt Wine Cellars & Bistro, Damiani Wine Cellars, Atwater Vineyards, Two Goats Brewing, and Finger Lakes Distilling.

    This house was perfect for us!!! My 3 siblings and I surprised our mom for a surprise getaway to celebrate her 70th birthday. The house and location were wonderful! We visited many local wineries/breweries and restaurants. We would definitely rent again. Our only complaint was the beds. They need to be a bit bigger and a little more comfortable.

    The house was very clean. The location was great. We enjoyed the Hazlitt Winery being close and their Friday night music.We really enjoyed the Muranda Cheese Factory and the great band they had Sunday afternoon. We would definitely stay then again. Jen was excellent at replying to my emails. The house had everything we needed.Thanks Jen for everything.

    We had a great stay! The house is a little close to the road which I didn't realize, but the backyard, front/side porch and back deck were amazing! Inside space was great for our family of four. We added a day to our stay and the owners were very accomodating. Would definitely recommend this place!

    A pleasant stay at this quaint and cozy home. Jen was responsive and courteous with her communication. The house was full of charm and character, and the views of the lake were beautiful from the back deck. Just be careful of the low ceilings upstairs. Highly recommended!

    First impression it was a nice little house in a great location. Porch was perfect for this farm house. When we opened the door, you got a strong musty smell. The basement must get damp. We opened windows to air it out. For a weekend home base, it worked. The lights didnt work in the sunroom

    This was the perfect location for our stay at Seneca Lake. Everything was in driving distance and it was quiet and right off the main road. This little cottage was great for a birthday celebration with friends! Jen the property owner was easy to work with and kept us well informed for our stay!

    We had another great stay in this little gem. It's such a central location, which makes it quick and easy to get to all of our favorite wineries and food spots. We recommend Scale House, Grist Iron, and Stonecat for great food that's nearby! We were also lucky enough to stay on the weekend, when Hector Wine Company has food trucks, and my friends loved the sushi they got there. The kitchen at the house is well-equipped and has everything you might need. Our group loved sitting on the back deck in the evenings.

    Perfect location for what we were planning. In the middle of countless wineries to experience and scenic view to Seneca Lake. Short drive to Watkins Glen and Geneva for alternate activities.

    We had a wonderful time ! Couldn’t ask for a better location. The house was very clean and had all the amenities. We sat outside every morning and night, great porch! The only thing that was difficult was the bathroom was down stairs on the main level so the steep stairs were a tad challenging at night. Otherwise I highly recommend this home !

    Great property to stay at to do wine tastings. Its older and has some steep stairs to get to the bedrooms buy has a nice back deck and is right across from a winery. It also worked out great having two children under 1, if we needed to shoot home this property was within 10 minutes of every winery we went to. Would recommend booking
