Heron House: A Lakeside Playground on the Shores of Seneca Lake

Beautiful sunset view. House was very clean and neat. Everything there we needed. Perfect location for going to Three Brothers and Muranda Cheese.

When we walked in the musty smell from the basement was overwhelming. A dehumidifier should be run and the door to the utllity room/basement should not have gaps between the door and the frame. In the master I used a broom to remove 12 spiders and webs near the ceiling. The outside front walk and deck should have been swept before our arrival. The rest of the home was great. The view is beautiful, the capets are nice, nicely decorated.

The upstairs shower really did not work. It was very difficult to find a way to get hot water. It looks like the hot water knob is broken and has not been repaired. The inside shower curtain had orange mold on the bottom. The shower was slow to drain and backed up with water while showering. We specifically wanted a rental with two working bathrooms and we had to share a bathroom with five people because of the difficulty with the shower. The outside deck needed some upkeep and the cushions on your chairs were very dirty. In addition, the grill looks like it hasn’t been cleaned in quite a while. Upon arriving at the house, we mistakenly drove past it into the neighbor’s driveway, not knowing that it was a dead end. Immediately the owner of the property confronted us. We explained to them that were renting and that we were turning around. The next-door neighbor acted in a rude manner.

It was wonderful stay.

Stayed with family for the “it’s a wonderful life” festival. Nice location 15 mins from scenca falls. House slightly dirty, ants, mouse droppings. But to be expected that far in the country! Would recommend the festival!!

Overall property was okay. Beautiful view! House needs some TLC. It leans toward the lake, beds too soft, better cleaning (spiders), house smells musty.

Heron house offers gorgeous sunsets, beautiful mornings and lots of watery fun on a little beach. You’ll also enjoy walking on the country roads nearby and many other fresh air activities. The kitchen is big enough for many people to crowd into to make a communal meal. The yard is completely fenced so our dogs were able to stay confined and safe. We had a fabulous visit.

The Heron House was great! Well represented on the website. We will really miss the incredible sunsets every night!

Nice location, quiet nook in residential area. House is arranged nicely, but needs update/renovation like screens had some holes, shower head on first floor bathroom not functioning. Also listing prior to booking should indicate strict policy for “day” guests, as max occupancy listed as 8 includes day guests that the rental company needs full disclosure of total number of day guests, their names/ ages, date and time of their visit; I think a bit over intrusive to say the least- took the fun out of just trying to have a relaxing time with family members.

What a beautiful house right on the lake! Conveniently located in Geneva near restaurants and wineries, myself and a group of friends with dogs really enjoyed staying here and would highly recommend!

Sitting on the deck overlooking Seneca Lake was very relaxing. Having a glass of wine from one of the local wineries and watching the sunset added to that relaxation. Heron House met all our expectations: right on the lake, access to the local wineries and breweries, and the restaurants in Geneva. Our only complaints: Edgewood Drive is a private road. Once you leave the highway you need to dodge potholes until you get to the house. The kitchen is huge with loads of cabinets. The only drawback is that the kitchen counter is ceramic tile and in need of replacement. This was our 1st family vacation since COVID-19 and our our 1st visit to the Finger Lakes region. We enjoyed every moment.
