AMAZING Lakefront And Well Designed Lakehouse: That Is Sure To Please

Beautiful newly constructed lakeside bungalow located on the east side of Seneca Lake. Tastefully crafted home (construction completed early 2013), is sure to please. Be the first to enjoy and relax in Seneca Bungalow.

The home sits on the east side of Seneca Lake and is easily accessible. Enjoy the large level beach only steps away from the front porch.

Seneca Bungalow offers a custom, clean, comfortable, lakeside cottage where memories can be made. A well designed functioning floor plan with 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths. Downstairs you will be welcomed by a tastefully decorated and relaxing living room with gas fireplace, dining room, full bath and kitchen with island and wine fridge. A master bedroom with king bed, and classic private bathroom with jetted tub are on the first floor as well.

Upstairs are 2 large comfortable and welcoming lakeside bedrooms (each with a queen bed and pull out couch), and a bunk room (2 bunk beds), and a full bathroom with laundry.

Fine finishes, master craftsman, care, and attention to detail were the owner’s goal with crafting this wonderful Finger Lakes getaway. The property has been in the owner’s family for over 50 years. Details include mahogany porches, upgraded electronics and appliances, central air, on demand hot water, and most important great outdoor/lakeside space for relaxing and/or entertaining.

The great floor plan is designed for large groups and entertaining, as well as separate space to get away and relax. Seneca Bungalow is very functional and comfortable for friends and families alike. Outside you will love the level beach and enjoy the beautiful sunsets.

No matter the time of year, Seneca Bungalow is a great place to relax, entertain, bond, and build wonderful memories.

Girls Reunion Weekend
The property was perfect. Very clean, very well provisioned. The proximity of the house to the water was our favorite feature. We ate all our meals on the back patio table, watching a heron fish for minnows with the gorgeous sunset as a backdrop. The shore was nice and shallow, and the lake was warm. We barely got out of our bathing suits from sun up til sundown, and then we gathered around the fire pit. Even though we had planned to visit a local winery, we wound up never leaving the house, as it had everything we needed for a lovely reunion weekend. The only quibble was that one of the bedrooms had a smoke detector with a dead battery that annoyingly chirped. We couldn't find a battery in the junk drawer, and pushing the hush button only temporarily delayed the chirp. The owner was not reachable through neither the app nor on the cell phone provided. He did respond later the morning after we reached out, and apologized.

Lovely home, but ....
The little bungalow is immaculate, cozy, and filled with the finest linens, glassware, games, DVD's, and kayaks. Truly, the bungalow is cozy and comfortable. Our difficulty with this rental was that we had children from 18 mos to 9 yrs of age and safety is always the issue. The home is located just feet from busy East Lake Road; the children could play only on the small patch of grass behind house. The dock surface becomes extremely hot in the summer sun. And, there is not a safe dock ladder. There is a foot long plank missing in the dock that someone can easily hurt themselves if they fell through. One is not able to call our host as he does not pick up the phone and his mailbox is filled. Emailing him through the VRBO website is a bit more successful. Reservation ID #HA-JH1HPF

Another fantastic Seneca Bungalow stay!!
This was our 4th stay, and we can’t say enough about how wonderful this home and its host is. It’s always spotlessly clean and maintained, and the layout works perfectly for our group of four couples. Location on the lake is perfect, and close to some of our favorite winery stops. Top notch all around, thank you Calvin for sharing this gem with us. Already looking forward to stay #5!

Perfect girls weekend
This house is even more beautiful than the pictures show. The outdoor space is also larger than it looks in the pictures and so incredibly beautiful- right on the lake. The house was fully stocked with adequate linens and everything you could need in the kitchen. The home is clean and modern, plenty of space for a crowd. Communication with the owner Calvin was seamless and prompt. I would definitely recommend this home and working with Calvin for anyone looking in this area.

Great place
This house was great. The back yard set up was better then the on line pictures. We were able to kayak and swim. The kitchen was well stocked. We were pleasantly surprised that the bunk beds were twins instead. Just for your information there is one bathroom upstairs, one in the master downstairs and one by the front door.

GREAT to be back at Seneca Bungalow
Our last stay was in October 2019. We loved it then and we were very happy and grateful that Calvin and VRBO accommodated our request to move our June 2020 reservation to June 2021 due to Covid. The new improvements (patio, dock) were great !

Beautiful well appointed home
We spent most of a week at the bungalow and found it to be every bit as lovely as described. There were just two of us and a pup, so we only used the main level of the house. The huge windows allow for maximum lake view and sunshine, with blinds when you don't want the sun coming in. We were on a work/vacay combo trip, so the reliable and fast wifi made for a smooth week. The kitchen has literally everything you'd need to prepare meals - more tools and gadgets than we have at home. The lake was shallow in front of the house making it easy in/out, especially with the dog. Shopping and dining were plentiful in Geneva (about a 15 min drive) but capacity restrictions meant carry out only on this trip. The steps in and out of the house were taller than average, so those with short legs or old knees will find them a little challenging. All in all, we had a lovely stay and wouldn't hesitate to choose this as home base for another Finger Lakes adventure!
