Direct Waterfront private house, NEW 40ft dock w/power, sleeps 8 in Wine Country

Welcome, to the Finger Lakes!

Located on the historic Cayuga-Seneca Canal, with 128 feet of waterfront, part of the Erie Canal Waterway, in the very epicenter of New York State Wine Country, across from a Wildlife Refuge this home, built in 1900, has all the charm of a country home while also having all contemporary features.

There are four full bedrooms, two full baths and ample additional living space. The kitchen is well equipped has tons of storage and is central to the rest of the house. The dining room is right off the kitchen and seats 8 comfortably. The large bonus room is off the kitchen as well where you can enjoy an after-dinner drink or, if you prefer, take it outside to the covered deck and relax and enjoy the surrounding peacefulness.

Recently added to the property is a new outdoor pavilion with a single car garage. Inside the garage you will find two kayaks with two life jackets, two swimming tubes, two sets of flippers and three goggles, two fishing poles, net, fully stocked tackle box and bait bucket. His and hers Mountain Bikes, a corn hole game, three camping chairs, fire-starters (paper) and a camp shovel for the fire pit and finally- bug spray.

The new pavilion has comfortable seating for 8, tables and overhead fan with light. The controller can be found on one of the cedar posts. Outside lighting is throughout the landscape, along the paths, steps and planters for your convenience and safety at night.

The expanded driveway can now easily accommodate four cars.

Seneca Lake, the largest and deepest of all the Finger Lakes, recognized as the Lake Trout Capital of the World is a casual boat ride via the canal. Off our NEW 40 foot, deep water dock with a NEW Power Tower, you can swim, fish or just relax nearby on the 5 Adirondack chairs that surround the fire pit, or relax (most likely sleep) on the hammock while seeing boats of every size and description go by. (Please note; the boat pictured with the accompanying photos is not part of the rental and will not be there when you rent the house so you can use the entire dock to swim, fish, relax on or dock your own boat.) From the occasional kayak, bass boat or yacht, the water is always calm and inviting. With a free public launch ramp only 3 blocks away on Oak Island, if you are a boater it does not get any better than that.

As an accommodation to our guests, we have made arrangements with Stivers Seneca Marine; a family owned marina operated by Donna and Bob Stivers, for a 10% Discount on a daily (eight hours) Pontoon Boat Rental. The family invites you to come and visit their marina and Tikka Bar for a refreshing drink after a day on the lake. To make arrangements and reserve a Pontoon Boat, a Discount Code will be provided to you once you arrive at our rental. Be sure to visit Stivers Seneca Marine in the meantime at
http://www.stiverssenecamarine.com

In addition, if you are looking for some guidance on where the best fishing is try Roy’s Fishing Charters at www.roysboyscharters.com and if you call Captain Steve and use our Discount Code that will be texted to you on your arrival at the house you will get $25 off a 4 hour Charter!

Wine Country!!! So, much is said of the Seneca Wine Trails I’ll let these articles do the talking…

https://senecalakewine.com/listings/

What else? Well, how about the Silver Creek Golf Course, a family owned and family friendly beautiful country golf course, just 1.4 miles away. Or, the many museums, all within a couple miles, not to mention that Waterloo is recognized as the National Birthplace of Memorial Day! Need more, OK how about the Del Lago Casino also 1.92 miles away.

So whether you want to relax and do nothing, or go and do everything, the option is yours.

Just enjoy!

Fabulous Family Week
This house has so many wonderful outdoor spaces. We especially enjoyed gathering before dinner on the covered patio attached to the garage facing the river. We are a family who loves to cook and the kitchen was so fully stocked we had everything we needed for some truly amazing meals. The house is centrally located between two of the finger lakes and surrounded by wineries. We took day trips to wineries and stopped at farm stands on our way home to make our evening meals. There are many spaces for a family to gather--the deck, the family room facing the river; there are also private spaces if you want some time to enjoy a good book!

Nice house
This was the second year we rented this home. House is clean and up to date. Having the dock is perfect for our fishing boat, hooking up our rafts to float and swimming. A nice yard, fire pit and pavilion to hang out. Quiet street.

Better than we could have hoped for!
To start, I don't usually expect perfection in a rental. But in all honesty, the pictures did not do this property justice. It was by far the cleanest house we've ever stayed in. Easy to find, great amount of parking and the grounds gave us plenty to do! Fire pit with wood and paper to get you started, hammock, covered patio with seating and a beautiful view of the private expansive dock and canal. Deck with grill AND a pizza maker. The kitchen was fully loaded, lots of clean towels, two full bathrooms and 4 great sized bedrooms for a larger family ( we have 3 children and a Poppop with us and everyone got their own room. The older two children shared but there were twin beds and they loved it!) large dining room but honestly you'll never use it if the weather holds out. We got to use the kayaks that the owner generously left in the garage for renter use. We brought our own boat but they offer discount codes to rent a boat nearby and the ramp to put your own boat in is only 3 blocks away! I could honestly go on and on ( I mean Niagara Falls is an hour and a half away and we got to do that too!) Seneca lake is right down the canal about 25 minutes by boat in a no wake and you can fish all along the way! Mike and Paula were always very prompt with answering any questions. We will definitely be return renters! Thank you so much for the experience. My girls never wanted to leave!

Restoration
Mike and Paula's home and property were beautiful! My family enjoyed the scenery the most from the backyard that gently comes to the canal. We went kayaking, rented a paddle boat, visited many wineries, hiked some waterfalls and baked apple pies after picking them at a nearby orchard. But the best were the moments spent in the lovely home and property with my grown kids. The many options for places to relax at the home were wonderful for our family of 7 to break into small groups or gather as a large group...much restoration of relationships and deepening of family love occurred... much enabled by Mike and Paula's home!

Family time in the Finger Lakes
Our family had a wonderful week stay in this beautiful Waterloo home. The house is on a quiet dead end street with a great new dock on the seneca/Cayuga canal. We enjoyed cooking dinners in their well equipped kitchen and gas grill. The beds were so comfortable and the bathrooms had everything you needed and supplied with items you might have even forgotten. The outside was so serene, and our family enjoyed kayaking and cornhole one afternoon. We had campfire s’mores too at the firepit. The house is a great starting point for day trips to the wineries. We celebrated our son’s 21st birthday in style at Bellhurst Castle. Edgar’s steakhouse was a real treat. Our hosts Paula and Mike were so accommodating. The communication was seamless. We are so glad to have found such a wonderful location in the Finger Lakes. Thank you so much for your hospitality. We have been to the Finger lakes three other times, and have rented VRBO’s. This house was the best by far. We can not wait to visit again and share more memories at this beautiful oasis. Thank you so much.

Picturesque tranquility
An absolute slice of heaven. The hosts were excellent communicators and we had a seamless reservation, check in and check out. House was spotless, comfortable, beautifully decorated and serene. Right on the canal near two beautiful lakes with lots to do and see. One sweet town with darling shops, wineries and food after another here. Can’t wait to come back. We added the kayaks on property to our own that we brought to take the family through the canal’s locks just blocks from the house which was a thrill. Homeowner has a special price for pontoon rental which was a fabulous day out on the lake with tubing for kids and adults alike. Be sure to spend an afternoon at Three Brothers Winery while you’re there which has four differently themed tasting buildings.

Perfect setting on scenic, quiet and peaceful canal. Lots of natural beauty with many opportunities to enjoy from the decks and fire pit area around the house. House itself was thoughtfully decorated and appointed including kayaks, bikes, board games, and little things like cotton balls and q tips. Mike and Paula were exceptional hosts providing lots of info and immediate responses to any questions, couldn't have been better. While quiet and peaceful, the house is also close to a number of good restaurants, grocery stores, and (of course) wineries. We loved our stay, only regret is the time went much too fast.

Anytime we weren't exploring the area the guys were fishing off the lovely new dock.

Best Lakehouse
This was the best lakehouse we've stayed at. Very clean, beds were super comfortable, a complete kitchen, and plenty of rooms to find privacy if needed. We are a family of 6 adults and a six year old. The house is at the end of a dead end street so it was private and quiet. The best part I think was the outside space. Beautiful view of the water, plenty of shade, flat grassy area for lawn games, and plenty of covered areas in case in rained. I would definely come back.

Fun Stay In Finger Lakes Wine Country
Our group (4 couples) had a wonderful stay at this property. Mike, our host was pleasant, super responsive, communicated often and flexible. The property itself is in a good location, has a great outdoor space that we wish we could have utilized more, unfortunately it rained 3 of the 6 days we were there. The inside space is inviting and both the kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked and we lacked for nothing. One thing to note is that the two bedrooms on the upper level are on the small size as compared to the bedrooms on the main level, so not ideal for the two couples who get assigned those rooms. Overall, a very nice property that we would highly recommend to anyone visiting that region.

Peaceful Retreat
The property is fantastic. At the end of a street that meets the canal, there is no road noise or traffic. The tranquility of the property and the canal is what we remarked on most often. Three different outside seating areas were perfect for accommodating those of us who kept seeking shade throughout the day as well as those looking for the warm sun. We all enjoyed use of the provided kayaks, bikes, etc. We spent every evening at the firepit, enjoying the peace and quiet and privacy. We were looking for a relaxing escape for a few days to recharge and enjoy time with our friends and this was a perfect spot for just that. The interior of the home was also well appointed and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay, would recommend to others, and may return again. Thanks.
