    Beautiful home on Seneca Lake. The bedrooms were large, clean, and had enough room for our family. The kitchen had everything we needed. There was a closet full of toys and games that the kids loved! Outside, there wasn't a beach, but the ladders on the dock made it easy to access the water to use the kayaks. Water shoes and life jackets were also provided. I wish the water had been warm enough to swim in! We will have to plan to come later in the Summer next time.

    Herbst's Hideaway was a beautiful house with a breathtaking lakefront view! The house was spotless with a well equipped perfectly clean kitchen. The dishware pattern was so pretty and was all matching and had a large quantity. There was a Keurig and regular coffee maker. The linens were plush and clean. The beds and bedding were so comfortable and spotless. Communication with Matt was the best! I highly recommend this property!

    Large open living room/dining room with a well stocked beautiful kitchen. The bedrooms were all spacious and clean with plenty of gorgeous bathrooms for our group. The view of the sunrise over Seneca Lake was spectacular. I thought the mattress topper in the master made it too soft but that’s my preference.

This host has everything you need in the home from the kitchen to the bathrooms to the outside activities. They have made it so easy to just walk in the door and relax I know we’ll be back

    This house was beautiful! It was stocked with just about everything you could possibly need. The owners go above and beyond in providing necessities and making this place comfortable. The peacefulness outside is amazing. It is so quiet and serene while still being close to many activities. The owners were extremely friendly and answered all my questions quickly.

    We visit the FLX quite often and this property was the best we ever rented for 4 couples. We loved how spacious the house was and every imaginable amenity for an ultra comfortable stay was at our fingertips. Matt was super easy to communicate with and eager to make our stay enjoyable. We normally prefer to stay on the east side of Seneca, but this home will definitely bring us back to the Penn Yan area.

    For the last few summers we’ve really enjoyed staying at Herbst Hideaway. The location can’t be beat; it’s right on beautiful Seneca Lake where we can watch the sunrise each morning. The house is open and airy as well as fully equipped with everything we need. Matt is always available via phone if needed.

    LOVE THE LAKE LIFE!This was our 2nd year staying at Matt & Julia’s home and our family had a fantastic week! Besides the fabulous view of the lake, the home is extremely clean and well equipped both inside and out. There were plenty of kayaks for adults and even some for the children. Their comfortable home accommodated our family of 6 adults and 4 granddaughters perfectly with plenty of sleeping options and lots of space to hang out together. This is also by far the cleanest rental we have ever stayed at. We've already booked for next year's family memories!

    Had a great long weekend with a group of my friends at Herbst Hideaway! Although the weather did not turn out as we were hoping for, we had a great time staying at this property. Beautiful view, very clean and well stocked with everything you needed. Beds were extremely comfortable. Matt answered any questions we had right away. I couldn’t have picked a better place for our first time visiting Finger Lakes. Definitely recommend.

    Beautiful house right on the lake. View was gorgeous. House was clean, bedding was very comfortable, kitchen well stocked with everything we needed. The only drawback was the drive into the property. We didn’t know it was 2 miles off the road on an unpaved road. That did not deter us. We still loved it and I still highly recommend it. We had a wonderful time with our family.

    The house was just as described! Beautiful, clean and very well stocked! We were able to enjoy the fire pit in the evening and our son got a little fishing in from the dock. This was a short weekend getaway for some of our family. We all would love to go back and spend more time enjoying the area and time at this lakefront home! Thank you !
