About this property

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

Nestled on a quiet road overlooking Seneca Lake you can find The Heron House. This home was built with comfort and relaxation in mind. So leave your worries at the door as you enter this stunning home. Beautifully decorated from top to bottom, this home is sure to meet all of your needs.

Beyond the foyer is a quaint office space and first floor bathroom. The open dining/living area feature eight foot high sliding glass doors with picturesque views of the lake. An updated kitchen provides ample cooking and gathering space to entertain with family and friends. You can unwind on the couch next to the working electric fireplace or step out onto your deck and enjoy an evening night-cap as you overlook the cascading hills on the Finger Lakes.

After the sun sets, head inside to the homes 4 bedrooms. The first bedroom is located just off the living area and offers a Queen bed and a television. Upstairs you will find 3 additional bedrooms and a full bath with tub/shower combo. The Master bedroom features a King size bed, a sitting area with 42" flat screen TV and queen sleeper sofa, and panoramic views of the lake.

Outside the kids will love the "Pirate Ship", a two tiered, 15 foot long wooden replica, complete with gangplank and steering wheel. On your walk down to the water you pass under a large gazebo to a gradual, 110' length of beach complete with wooden patio area under an overhanging tree. Fish at the end of the boat dock or relax and watch the waves wash across the lake. The lake bottom is almost entirely free of rocks and is shallow enough for children to swim.

It is less than a ten minute drive to downtown Geneva, Wegman's Grocery, Hobart and William Smith Colleges, Geneva on the Lake, and the Belhurst Castle.

It’s a “okay” 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!!

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

Gorgeous sunsets!
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.

Quaint quiet house in lake
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.
