Welcome to our newly constructed, spacious timber frame lake home on Seneca Lake. We oriented the house so that there are spectacular views from every room. It sleeps up to 16 people comfortably including kids with a 22 x 40 foot great room, including an oversized dining table, gourmet kitchen, spacious living room, an attached 14 x 45 foot deck, and recreation room with a huge sofa, gas fire place and television. We also have a large outdoor table and lounge chairs/sofas for comfortable dining al fresco.
This property is unique because it can host multiple families with children. There are two master bedrooms with their own bathrooms and two bedrooms on the lower level that share a bath, but have easy access to the lake through sliding glass doors. There is also a bunk room over the garage with its own bathroom. The bunks are oversized (double mattresses) and can easily sleep two children per bed.
Our lake house is also perfect for a small wedding or family reunion. The 1,000 foot slate patio that hovers 15 feet above the shore will remind you of a scaled-down roman amphitheater, with picture perfect views of the lake and the spectacular sunset.
For more casual outdoor activities, the dock is big enough to seat all the sunbathers, swimmers and boating aficionados in your group. It's also an excellent spot to watch the sun set or have a picnic dinner.
We are fortunate enough to have 150 feet of private lake frontage, with a large dock system. There is a boat lift to park a personal boat on the dock. There is a marina in Watkins Glen which is a ten minute boat ride to the south that offers transit docking and the ability to rent a boat for your vacation.
Our location is ideal for many reasons. For our guests that want to try regional wines, beers and ciders, the Lake House is conveniently located on the Finger Lakes Wine Trail, walking distance to two of the most renowned wineries in the region. It's also close to some of the best hiking in western New York. If you like waterfalls and gorges, don't leave without a visit to Watkins Glen State Park, Buttermilk Falls State Park, Treman State Park and Taughannock State Park. These parks are exceptionally beautiful in the fall, when the leaves are turning color. We are also minutes by car or boat from the small town of Watkins Glenn, which was awarded 3rd Best Small Towns for Adventure by USA Today.
Cyclist will find no shortage of challenging terrain. And skiers/snowboarders can easily access Greek Peak in the winter months for exceptional down hill and cross country adventures.
The property is also a great place for people who appreciate cars, with its close proximity to the Watkins Glen International Race Track. Foodies will not be disappointed, either. There are many farm to table restaurants nearby, as well as breweries and distilleries that serve light fare. We also collaborate with an executive chef who will make herself available if you need a hand in the kitchen or wish to cater a special event. She also offers private cooking lessons in the Lake House kitchen, followed up with a meal that you helped prepare. Let us know if you are interested in Sam's services and we'll connect you. You won't be disappointed. Find more information here: www.simplyredevents.com and read the reviews of guests that have used Sam's services.
Don't forget your binoculars. Birders will love sitting on the deck in the morning and watching the bald eagles land on the tree-tops nearby or the blue herons soar across the lake.
And last but not least, the architectural details of this industrial modern house built on the side of a cliff, along with views of the lake from almost every window, provides a tranquil spot to rest and rejuvenate.

    This is a beautiful home on a beautiful piece of property! It is in a great location, and we were able to visit parks and wineries on 3 of the finger lakes. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed. We especially enjoyed the executive chef dinner prepared by Sharon.

    Our stay was absolutely perfect! The house was clean, welcoming, and so well-stocked. The best rental we've ever had and there have been many. Glenn was incredibly helpful and communicative. Having wood outside for a fire, kayaks with paddles and gear, all of the amenities were top notch. 5 stars all around and we can't wait to come back!

    Fantastic stay at Glenn and Lynn’s property. The house is stunning, the location on the lake was even better, and there were so many thoughtful touches in the home which made the time very special. The dock was terrific for sundowns and stargazing, we spent a few hours at the fire-pit every evening, saw a rainbow with our morning coffee on the deck, and even got to cheer on the Eagles (go Birds!) in the spacious family room. Every room has a lake view, and the beds were super comfortable. Glenn, our host was responsive and check in/check out was easy. Looking forward to returning soon!

    We did a girls' trip with 9 ladies who went to high school together many years ago. This was the perfect house for our vacation. There were many places for all of us to hang out including the big living/kitchen area, the lower level fireplace room, firepit area and the beautiful deck!! The location was great with so many hikes, wineries and activities. We hiked at Buttermilk State Park and Watkin's Glen park and they were both beautiful, magical hikes. In addition, we hiked at Taughannock State Park, which was also special. Kayaking on Seneca Lake to Hector Falls with Seneca Lake Kayak was an amazing, peaceful adventure. Our last adventure, a Schooner ride with Sail True Love, was so much fun and something we will never forget!! One of the best things we did was to hire a private chef for the evening. Chef Audrey, Harvest to Hearth was so fabulous. So many locally sourced items and special treats that were personally made by Chef Audrey. We would highly recommend her for a special and delicious dinner. We loved everything the house and area had to offer. Our group would not hesitate to stay here again!! Glenn was easy to work with and so helpful.

    Great house for our group of 10. Clean. Perfect location for hiking excursions and winery visits. Love the huge kitchen table, deck with an unbelievable view and the firepit and dock below. House/kitchen is well appointed and has a great layout for gathering. TV being on the lower level vs. the main level is a big plus.

    Very nice, house was beautiful & well stocked in all areas, including water sports equipment. We rented a boat from a very helpful rental company. Loved that there was a lot to do in surrounding area that were child friendly, especially as we had a couple of rain days. Most important was the time with family.

    Amazing property! We had the most fantastic time with our family of twelve ranging in age from 1-63. Glenn and Lynn thought of everything. Check in was smooth. Everything was ready for us. The kayaks, paddleboards, dock and firepit were among our favorites. I highly recommend this beautiful property and these awesome hosts.

    This house is beautiful and has every amenity you need for a comfortable stay. From the stocked kitchen essentials and really nice pottery to the towels (bath and beach). House was really clean upon arrival. Only issue we had was the A/C in the main area. Had a couple of really hot days and had trouble keeping up. Could have used a few umbrellas on the upper deck but we found one towards the end of the week and host also said he had one on order. The walk to the water is a lot of stairs but it is really well crafted and maintained. The dock area and boat lift was perfect for our boat we brought. The deck above the boat was a hit and the kids jumped off of it a few times. Paddle boards were a huge hit. Fire pit was perfect. Glenn was a great host. Promptly responded to any and all questions even before arrival. He came out to get one of the ceiling fans working and that helped a ton.

    We thought the house was wonderful. It was well stocked with what we needed in the kitchen and water activities (life jackets, floats, kayaks, canoe, towels) and outdoor seating. The view from the main floor was amazing. The house was nicely decorated, spacious, and clean. It was a great location - private and serene. Special Thanks to Host Glenn!

    We had a mix of adults and teenagers and everyone enjoyed the stay. The house was amazing - well-equipped and comfortable. The driveway and steps to the dock are steep but didn’t prove a problem for us. The basement, the deck, the fire pit, and the dock were all fun spots to hang out. So many good memories!

    My family and I had a fantastic stay at this home during spring break. Its prime location near Watkins Glen, hiking trails, vineyards, and restaurants made it ideal for exploring. The house is beautifully designed, offering ample indoor and outdoor space for guests of all ages. Glenn, the host, was exceptional—responsive, helpful, and quick to answer our questions. The kitchen was well-equipped, the grill worked perfectly, and there was plenty of firewood for the fire pit. While the weather prevented us from using the kayaks, it didn’t detract from our enjoyment. Visiting in the off-season was delightful, and I can only imagine how incredible it would be in summer. Highly recommend this gem!

    This house was the perfect place for us to find some quiet and connect with friends. Communication with the owner was excellent. We had an amazing time! In addition to exploring the town and hiking, a highlight was getting to see a giant bald eagle who likes to sit in a pine tree out back. So serene. We will definitely be back!

    We got to spend 1 week in this fabulous house with our 2 adult children, their spouses and their pups. The house could not have been more perfect and had everything we needed, including beach towels,. 2 SUP's, 2 Kayaks, life jackets of assorted sizes and lounge chairs on the dock. We rented a boat for the week so we could water ski and tube. The only advice I would give a future renter is to take your garbage to the dumpster at the top of the road every day or every other day. We waited until the end of the week and it was not pleasant for the guys by then. LOL! Glenn was responsive and pleasant. We even bought some pottery that his wife makes and is throughout the house. Great week!!

    This is the second time we’ve stayed in this home with a large group of people from 10 months old through adults in their 40s and every age between. We had a fantastic time, spending hours every day on the dock and in the lake, visiting local wineries, hiking, cooking, and playing games. The kids’ bedroom is perfect, and we never felt cramped in the space. We can’t wait to come back next year!
