Burdett, New York
Spend a night, a weekend or a week at one of the most unique properties in all of the Finger Lakes. Clifftop is a 20 acre paradise, with unforgettable Sunset, Seneca Lake, and village views. Perched atop a bluff and high above the lake, enjoy your very own private compound, only 1 mile from the center of Watkins Glen, at the gateway to the east Seneca Lake wine trail. Hike along thousands of feet of clifftop trails, then descend into a magnificent gorge with several waterfalls, flanked by hemlock, periwinkle, and stone formations.
Take an hour or a day; relax within this private natural paradise. Hike back up to the many cliff top nature trails and take in the bee balm, shaded canopy, and daily visits by the bald eagles and osprey that inhabit our area. Or "stay put." Kick back on the deck or lawn directly in front of your room. Sun bathe, nap, or simply enjoy the sailboats, western bluffs, and village below. The Rookery, our upper level hemlock lodge, has 2 king bedrooms(one is a suite) each with deluxe bath, including 6' soaker tub and shower. The full kitchen and entry room provide plenty of elbow room, and 3 patio doors lead to the 50' x 9' deck, located 200' above the lake, below. The large kitchen has quartz counters, all new appliances, lovely maple wood floors. Large glass fireplace. A short distance from your back door is a beautiful view area with your own under the stars fire pit.
Comfortable, cosy bungalow that is exactly as described & pictured on Vrbo. The gracious, friendly owners are onsite & greeted us when we arrived & said goodbye when we departed. The bungalow features a great layout for two couples as there are two king bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, one of which has a second door to the common area. These private areas are separated by the living room, dining room, & kitchen which provides some welcome privacy. An SUV or 4-wheel drive car may be helpful accessing the property which is reached via a steep, unpaved drive. Other minor quibbles are low water pressure in the showers & uneven Wi-Fi. Overall we’d heartily recommend this listing to vacationers.
This was our fourth stay at this beautiful home in the past four years, and we already can't wait for our fifth. The location is perfect: private and secluded on the clifftop, but incredibly close and convenient to everything. The house is warm, welcoming, and always immaculate, with two fabulous master suites and a spacious deck with incredible views. Most special of all, though, are Cindy and Ed, the two warmest, nicest hosts you could ever hope to have in a rental property; they're kind and responsive, always available for anything you need. I've put this in a review before, and I'll say it again: coming back to this house feels like coming home. I can't recommend it highly enough.
Couldn’t have asked for more! Property was clean and Cindy was great to work with. Our first stay here, would definitely not hesitate to come back.
Hidden and private
The house is located on a bluff above Seneca Lake with an outstanding view. It had all the comforts of home. Cindy was a great host, helping with winery and restaurant recommendations. We will definitely come back next time we are in the FLX region.
Great location. Wonderful hosts. Beautiful property.
This was the third time we stayed in Cindy & Ed's lovely home in the past four years, and it certainly won't be the last. It feels like home away from home: a clean, cozy, comfortable place to relax. The property is beautiful, the views of Seneca Lake are gorgeous, and the location is convenient to everything. Cindy & Ed are kind, gracious hosts, always thoughtful and helpful in any way you need, and always looking to find ways to make your stay even better. I can't recommend them, or the home, highly enough.
Had a fantastic stay! Cindy and Ed are fantastic hosts! Would recommend this beautiful lake view home for anyone!
Great location, friendly helpful hosts, amazing house! Thanks Cindy.
This is my best ever experience. The owners were SUPER nice. The property was clean and exactly as advertised. The owners assisted with my mom who is older and has some mobility challenges. The cottage was well stocked - there were ample towels and little things we forgot, like ziploc bags. I highly recommend. Jim from Texas
I brought my mom on our first solely-together trip in many years, and both she and I were thrilled with this clifftop home. Cindy was incredibly welcoming and even did a little homework for us for restaurant and shopping recommendations. The home is set up perfectly for a family group and each bathroom is thoughtfully appointed. We didn't get to cook but the kitchen is well stocked and has a large refrigerator. The amount and quality of amenities is a giant step above the average rental. The deck and view are what you come for and having a quiet sit with the birds singing while watching boats on the lake is quite lovely. We're looking forward to coming back again.
If you’re traveling to Seneca Lake in the finger lakes this is the best place to stay. Minutes from downtown and close to all of the wineries, breweries and amazing hiking. The home was clean, spacious, and had an unbeatable view of the lake. You have direct views of the incredible finger lakes sunset. The hosts were friendly and accommodating and made the stay even more comfortable. We loved our trip and would absolutely stay here again!!
Beautiful spot for a double birthday weekend getaway! The accommodations were very comfortable and clean with a phenomenal view of Lake Seneca! Hosts, Cindy and Ed, were very helpful with recommendations of walking trails, vineyards, restaurants and even hospitals! Definitely would recommend this place to friends and family!!
Cindy was amazing, everything was just as listed, the two bedroom home was perfect, views are great, home is open and large, furniture and beds were extremely comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed and then some! Cindy was always available to assist with anything we needed or to provide a meal recommendation. This property is so convenient with most things from Corning to Ithaca only a 30 minute drive away. We will definitely stay here again if we return to the area! Thank you Cindy!!
Stayed for one week and had a great time. Very close to Watkins Glen, wineries, breweries, etc. Great view of Lake Seneca. Very clean and comfortable. Highly recommended.
Beautiful home with an amazing view. The Host was very helpful every step of the way. We will be back again for sure!
This lovely 2 BR/2 BA house overlooks Seneca Lake--huge deck with chairs so you can sit and enjoy the view! The house is furnished beautifully and is super comfortable. Nice mattresses, linens, kitchen necessities, furniture. Bedrooms are very comfortable with nice TVs and streaming.
