What We Love
Nestled in a quiet area close to Lake Seneca access, make this newly built cabin your Hector home away from home. Boatowners will love the fact that water access in Watkins Glen is only a short drive away, with ramps for smaller boats available even closer at Smith Memorial Park (2.4 miles). 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. Prepare meals in the full kitchen or use the grill outside to sear them to perfection. A washer/dryer and free WiFi round out your amenities. Property has shared firepit.

    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.

    The surface of the stove was slightly greasy on arrival. Otherwise everything was very clean. The water has a strong sulfur odor.

    The place was clean and cozy. The stairs to the 2nd bedroom are steep. Exactly as described in the listing. We had our dog with us and she enjoyed all the nature! We were close to everything but felt in our own little world.

    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.

    This was a home away from home with beautiful views! Look no further than this spot. All you need to bring is your packed bags and four legged friends. This home is clean and perfectly located for all your serenity needs. Definitely recommend and will be visiting again for sure.

    We stayed in this tiny home for a friends weekend. The location was private and perfect. Came as advertised but so well stocked and well kept! My younger dog was just diagnosed with cancer and this was likely his last trip so it was a wonderful memory for us to share.

    Located right up the road from some great wineries. Walked down the hill to The Red NewCellars. Easy drive into Watkins Glen and wineries on east Seneca. Check in was a breeze. We will definitely be back.

    Small cottage-like cabin in Hector, great location for wine tasting. Short ceilings so would not recommend for tall guests. Steep stairs up to the second floor. No interaction with host upon booking.

    Three of us shared the larger treehouse, and it was the perfect size! The upstairs loft is a large room with space for an extra air mattress, and the downstairs bedroom is small but totally adequate. The kitchen was decent sized and fully stocked, so we saved money by cooking a few meals there. There's a communal firepit outside, and we had a nice time getting to know the guests from the other treehouse. We even got to see the Northern Lights one night! The location is just rural enough to feel secluded but also close to the main road with lots of wineries, breweries, and restaurants. It's also a short drive to Watkins Glen. The only downside was that the shower ran low on hot water, so we had to take short showers. I would totally recommend this place!

    My boyfriend and I booked this place and couldn’t have been happier! The cabin was extremely cozy and clean, and has everything you could possibly need for a weekend getaway! The location was very close and convenient to many wineries and local hiking trails. We will absolutely be back again!

    We had an absolutely amazing stay at Seneca Lake Serenity! The location is perfect—peaceful, secluded, yet so close to Seneca Lake and Watkins Glen. If you’re into outdoor activities, you’ll love the nearby hiking trails and the easy access to the lake for boating. Plus, the area is filled with fantastic wineries and breweries, which made for some wonderful day trips. The cabin itself is cozy and well-maintained. The warm lighting and modern touches made it feel like a home away from home. The deck was perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine, and we loved using the firepit in the evenings. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals, and the grill was a bonus for enjoying outdoor cooking. We also appreciated the convenience of having a washer and dryer, especially after hiking and spending time on the lake. The smart TV and free WiFi were great for winding down after a day of exploring. The house is dog-friendly, and our two pups felt right at home! The property had ample space for them to run around, and it’s always a plus to find a place that welcomes well-behaved dogs. Overall, everything was well-organized, from the easy check-in process with the digital lock to the clear communication from the management team. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we’ll definitely be back! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway near Seneca Lake.

    Nicely located on a hillside surrounded by nature. So peaceful. And the fireflies, oh the fireflies! Like hundreds of little sparkling stars. Not 1 minute from your first winery at the bottom of the hill, some good local eateries and only 20 minutes from Watkins Glen. Sweet little place for no more than 4 adults and a great place for the dog. Tried to introduce him to the cows across the street. They were very curious about him, but he was having none of it. The only drawback to the house was very limited hot water. That wouldn't keep me from staying there again, though. Comfy beds, cozy place. Very much enjoyed our time there.
