Absolutely Shore

Overall, a lovely home with very comfortable space for our immediate family to gather and relax before the arrival of our 2nd grandchild. Easy access to water for fishing. Equipped with both fire pit and fireplace to enjoy year round. Plenty of space with well appointed kitchen, games, and DVDs. Only regret was that we wished we could have stayed longer or during the warmer weather when we could enjoyed more of what this beautiful home had to offer. It was a wonderful weekend of making memories and we would love to return in the future.

We were extremely pleased with our family vacation at Absolutely Shore. We have already recommended your company to our friends.

Margie - Stay Date: 8/11/2024

This summer was the third summer we stayed at Absolutely Shore, and we plan on staying there again next summer. We love it. It is clean, convenient to the lake, and well equipped. Rain or shine we love the house.

4 couples stayed the week. Bunk house was used and adequate. House was well stocked with utensils and tableware for a large group. View was awesome.

Ted W - Stay Date: 8/18/2024

My favorite place to be. Great house and location. Close proximity to Watkins, wineries, breweries, etc.

Jeanette - Stay Date: 7/14/2024

Excellent property with bonus having boat lift. Our family totally enjoyed this property and it’s neighbors. Great space and wonderful sunsets!

Laurie - Stay Date: 6/30/2024

This is the second time we stayed at this property. It is beautiful, inside and out, and offers all of the things we love - a great kitchen, beautiful outdoor area, and a location close to our favorite wineries/breweries. We will definitely stay again!

Shani - Stay Date: 6/13/2024

I can't imagine staying anywhere else. We loved everything about this cabin. Plenty of room for six people. Walk out your door to a private dock, fire pit and stunning views. Very clean, sanitized thick towels, great shower pressure, comfortable inside and out. Ideal location near wineries and restaurants. Modern, spacious and tons of books, games and movies to enjoy. No water toys but rentals not far. We can't wait to come back!!

Lee B - Stay Date: 5/31/2024

An amazing house, kitchen was incredibly stocked with Calphon , beautiful views, so relaxing to sit on the dock.

Michele K - Stay Date: 5/20/2024

The home was perfect for our yearly family gathering. The kitchen was filled with pots, pans, appliances, utensils that you would need to cook and barbeque. With a bedroom and bathroom on the main floor, along with minimal amount of steps in and out of the cabin, my father was able to enjoy the cabin with a walker/cane. Upstairs had two nice size rooms and a full bath to share. Sitting out on the covered porch watching the sunset was beautiful. The noise was only filled with a plethora of bird songs. We noticed a mallard nested in a flower bed next to the dock with at least 6 eggs. A big family of geese with their goslings welcomed us. The cabin is close to a handful of breweries and wineries, including a 10 minute drive to Watkins Glen downtown. We ate dinner in for three nights utilizing the barbeque after long days visiting the surrounding falls, Watkins Glen, and Ithaca. Would recommend this place to others.

Tricia G from Chagrin Falls - Stay Date: 6/3/2024

The cabin was spacious and clean, furniture and beds comfortable, and loved the hammock on the front deck. The access to the water was a quick stroll from the front deck and flat. The evening sunsets gorgeous. The area was quiet and peaceful. Relaxed sitting on the front porch listening to the birds, watching the geese and ducks, and boats on the lake. Plenty of kitchen cookware, utensils, glasses to utilize. The barbeque under the side porch worked well during a rainy day. Having a bedroom and bathroom on the main floor worked well for my parents because dad was having hip issues and needed walker/cane.

Tricia G - Stay Date: 6/3/2024

Wonderful cabin for family or 3 couples. Stunning views. Clean, comfortable, lots of games/books/movies. We were there in nearly June, extremely serene, lots of wildlife, nice neighbors. Fabulous location with wineries and restaurants nearby. We'd absolutely stay again. Highly recommended.

Lee B - Stay Date: 5/31/2024

This was our first time visiting the Finger Lakes, and lets just say, we are always planning for next year! The property exceeded all expectations and I believe made our experience that much better. Waking up in the morning and walking out to the dock with a cup of coffee, is such a small but memorable part of my stay. Then spending the evenings on the shore, with loved ones around the fire pit, created long lasting memories. Also a big thank you to everyone at Finger Lakes Premier Properties. Every communication experience I had was a positive one and I truly felt like I was in great hands. We cannot wait for next year!!

Danielle M - Stay Date: 5/16/2024

Absolutely Shore was a wonderful place to rent. We have never stayed in such a well-stocked house. The kitchen had everything one could need. There were books, games and plenty of information on the Finger Lakes area. There were plenty of extra pillows, blankets and throws. We really appreciated that the outdoor furniture was available. It was so nice to sit outside, as we had lovely weather. The location made it easy to get to Watkins Glen, Ithaca and Montazuma Wildlife refuge.

Wendy W - Stay Date: 5/5/2024

Cozy and inviting. A great family getaway. Definitely recommend especially the warmer months.

Optaciano R - Stay Date: 12/29/2023

The view was awesome and the accommodations great.

Kathleen V - Stay Date: 9/28/2023

FLPP was great to work with. We previously rented through VRBO. FLPP will be doing all our future finger lake bookings. Extremely professional staff.

Margie D - Stay Date: 11/10/2023

We love this rental spot..we have been coming up here the last 8 years..but we do see things that need to be fixed, replaced or cleaned..it really is a beautiful rental..

Kathy W from Pottsville, Pennsylvania - Stay Date: 9/11/2023

Love everything about Absolutely Shore. It is our “Zen”. Great spot, great location and close to everything you want or need if you want to explore. But if you just want to plant yourself for the week, this may be the spot for you!   

Jeanette M from Middletown, New York - Stay Date: 7/16/2023

Great house in a great location. Will definitely rent again.

Eric J from Winfield, Pennsylvania - Stay Date: 3/31/2022

We were really pleased with this rental property.  It was right on the lake and since it faced west, we had amazing sunsets.  The house was clean and well appointed.  We had everything we needed for the week.  

Richard T from Fairfax, Virginia - Stay Date: 5/25/2023

Property is excellent!  This was our third year in a row we rented it... its absolutely beautiful and we will return next year.  One thing you could do is put a little more fish in the lake!  (LOL)

Douglas H from New Milford, Connecticut - Stay Date: 10/12/2022

Great house in a great location.

Eric J from Winfield, Pennsylvania - Stay Date: 4/13/2023

The home is beautiful and comfortably furnished. Beautiful view of the lake, nice yard for playing games. We were there early in the season and there was a misunderstanding about whether or not the bunk house was being used that was quickly rectified by the property management company. They were in communication and easy to reach until it was handled. Great place to stay.

Marnie O from Mantua, New Jersey - Stay Date: 5/18/2023

This place is the perfect getaway. I could not have asked for a better location with regard to the wineries and breweries. Being on the water was a huge seeking point. We loved the fire pit and enjoyed the outdoor porches for lounging and dining. We can’t wait to come back again!

Dawn Z from Fishkill, New York - Stay Date: 5/12/2023

This place is pretty Awesome. Right on the water, plenty of space, any kitchen item you could possibly need! We loved it!

Jamie K from Uniontown, Pennsylvania - Stay Date: 2/4/2023

Awesome trip, very likely to recommend!

Kathy W from Pottsville, PA - Stay Date: 9/14/2022

We had an amazing experience for a weekend girls getaway at the property rented through Finger Lakes Premier Properties. The house exceeded our expectations as did the process of booking the home. We also experienced amazing customer service from Luella when we realized we left behind some treasured items - she was very helpful in making sure that they were recovered and then shipped back to us. Thank you for a wonderful experience -- highly recommend!

Kelly S from Oreland, PA - Stay Date: 10/21/2022

Location was fantastic, property was absolutely beautiful!

Douglas H - Stay Date: 10/12/2022

This is a beautiful rental property. It is very quiet, plenty of space at the property and the views are spectacular. We have visited Seneca Lake 3 prior times and have stayed at a hotel, this was our first stay at a rental home. We would without a doubt stay at a rental home again on the lake and rent through this company.

Diane B from New Castle, DE - Stay Date: 11/10/2022

From the first splash in the lake to the final paddle around, it was a great multi-generational family vacation. The house was well stocked, and the neighborhood was safe. We loved being able to walk out the front door and walk onto the dock where we could swim, paddle, or fish. Took advantage of hiking Watkins Glen one morning.

Patricia V from West Chester, Pennsylvania - Stay Date: 7/31/2022

Thank you so much for the review and for recommending our rental. We hope to see you again during your next trip to the Finger Lakes.

We had the most wonderful time during our stay at Absolutely Shore! It was a beautiful home, comfortable, clean and close to SO many other fun things to do! We can’t wait for our next stay!

Thomas B - Stay Date: 12/31/2022

Our family had a wonderful stay at Absolutely shore. The house was even nicer in person than the pictures. Very clean and cozy. The boys particularly liked being able to have a firepit down by the lake. Mom and Dad really liked having a fire lit inside the beautiful great room. Really a nice experience all around. We would definitely stay again.

Cheri L from Downingtown, Pennsylvania - Stay Date: 10/26/2022

For us the location of the house right on the lake with easy access to the dock was the crowning feature. It had nice setting and a glass of wine made for a delightful sunset experience. The house itself is spacious and nice and worked well for us. ( two couples). The kitchen was well stocked and had nice appliances and room to cook. Our major suggestion is declutter the house. Too much stuff (toss pillows, old lamps, books, vases, etc) take away from the amazing living space and beauty of the cabin!

Paul and Debbie V from Dublin, Ohio - Stay Date: 10/19/2021

Thank you very much for taking the time to rate your experience at our rental. Please come and stay with us again soon!

Our stay was comfortable and sitting on the dock was wonderful given the unseasonably warm weather we were lucky enough to have. I had read some of the reviews before booking and was a bit unsure, but took a chance and was glad we did. This is not the most luxurious home we have stayed in, but it was clean, comfortable and we would recommend it. We were a party of 4 and I’ll share our experience in the hope it helps others make a decision.

Pros:

- there were plenty of towels and linens with multiples left in every room. The sheets and towels come wrapped in plastic as a COVID measure, so you have to make your bed. We did not find this off- putting. There are plenty of additional blankets, pillows, etc. in each bedroom closet should they be needed.

- Supplies: there was a cute welcome package on the counter that included 1 roll of paper towels, dish soap, a new sponge, 2 dishwasher tablets and 2 kitchen towels. We were also left a complimentary bottle of a locally produced salad dressing. There were extra garbage bags left in all the wastebaskets. The kitchen bags are HUGE and can hold a lot! There were 2 rolls of toilet paper in each bathroom. As we were there for only 3 nights, we found all supplies to be ample and satisfactory. We never expect unlimited supplies when renting a home.

- in addition to the living room, each bedroom has a TV with cable. The room I stayed in has a smart TV that wasn’t connected to the internet to watch any streaming channels. I connected it :)

- the house has great internet and we never had an issue with connectivity. Please note the login information for the network is not correct although the password was. I just clicked on networks until the password worked :)

Cons:

- there was a note on the counter when we checked in to “not use the upstairs shower for 24 hours” without explanation. There were only 4 of us so this wasn’t a hardship, but an explanation would have been appreciated. We used it after 24 hours and all the plumbing worked perfectly without issue including the dishwasher.

- the home could use some updating, but everything was functional.

- the queen bedroom and the bathroom upstairs are missing blinds. The curtains could be closed so you have some privacy, but it’s a small, inexpensive fix that makes a difference.

Overall, we recommend it for its location and cleanliness. We’d stay again!

Our extended family shared this cottage located centrally on Seneca Lake with beautiful views and easy access to Watkins Glen and local wineries.

Kristina C from Penn Valley, Pennsylvania - Stay Date: 8/16/2020

A multigenerational family vacation from age 3 to 75. The house was a few steps away from beautiful Seneca Lake with easy access to enjoy the lake life on the dock or shore. Proximity to wineries and nearby waterfalls for hikes.

Kristina C from Penn Valley, Pennsylvania - Stay Date: 8/16/2020

A house to enjoy the view from and create memories. The spacious living quarters, beautiful deck area and river access made our stay awesome!

Ann C from Painsville Ohio - Stay Date: 7/12/2020

Thus is rental number 4 for us and have loved it every time. FLPP has always been great responding to any of our needs/concerns promptly!

Jeanette M from Middletown, New York - Stay Date: 7/26/2020

Very comfortable house. It was the perfect location to the lake and so many things to do. We were able to cook in the kitchen which was stocked with everything we could need. We had a great time!

Absolutely Shore was the perfect property for our girls trip.  Enjoyed our evening son the dock watching the beautiful sunsets!

Debbie G from Zanesville, OH - Stay Date: 9/19/2018

Beautiful house and location! At the end of our week there we wanted to stay another week! The house is very well stocked with bedding, books, games, dvds, and the kitchen is loaded. Only wish we’d been there when it was warmer, the crystal clear lake water looks so inviting!

 

Lillian R from Trap, PA - Stay Date: 5/12/2018

The house was even more beautiful than the photographs. We had one of the most relaxing vacations ever.

Masso-Welch - Stay Date: 9/2/2016

Really a lovely property! The dock area was very special with flowers and bright chairs. The boys enjoyed the hammock. The kitchen area was very useful and beautifully updated. The home had an outstanding view of the lake.

Rochelle from Lansdale PA - Stay Date: 6/10/2016

From start to finish we could not be happier with our stay. The home was beautiful, the staff was super responsive and it made my Mom's 60th birthday celebration a great success!
