Description Description
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.

Reservation process was easy and painless. They are very responsive to questions and last minute changes. We had to add a dog to the reservation the day we were to arrive. There was no problem. The house was very clean and in order when we arrived. Check in and check out was super easy. Thank you!!

Premier is the way to go , they make everything so easy right from the start !! Our home Heron House was everything we expected and more . So clean and modern . Plenty of space and beautiful lake view . Steps to lake maybe hard for someone with mobility issues , they are a little steep . But as long as you take your time and be careful . We are already planning on booking the same home next year . Very close proximity to grocery stores , places to eat and of course the fabulous wineries !!! Can’t wait to go back !!

We had a fantastic time at Heron House in October.
The weather was gray with a little rain but that didn't matter because our rental was such a pleasant place to stay while watching the rain fall on the lake. There are many places around to hike and we were so happy we could bring our dog and take advantage of all these. There was a place to walk our dog along the private road in the morning. We also took him to wineries and breweries which were dog friendly. So once again the location is fantastic and the accommodations were outstanding.

The Heron House is a quaint home on the lake with a beautiful view of Seneca Lake.
Our visit was in November, where the weather was cool and snowed one day. Even though the skies were gray, we were able to watch an eagle fly over the lake and swoop down to catch a fish for breakfast. What an amazing sight to see! The only problem we encountered was that we were not able to access the home via the access code provided. We had to contact the after hours emergency number for the lock box code to get the key, due to an issue with the system not working for keyless entry. Other than this glitch, we enjoyed our stay very much.

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.

Shellie W from Silver Spring, Maryland - Stay Date: 8/7/2022

Thank you very much for taking the time to rate us 5/5 stars! We are so happy to hear you had such a wonderful time. Please come and stay with us again soon!

Family Vacation

We loved our stay. House was in a great location, clean, plenty of room, air conditioners worked great for warm days, kitchen had everything we needed, view from deck was amazing, we really enjoyed using the kayak, paddle board and paddle boat, we fished off the dock and relaxed by the fire pit at night. Short distance to town, wineries and waterfalls. Would highly recommend.

GREAT HOUSE!

The Lakehouse had everything we needed to enjoy the water and outdoors and was very clean and comfortable inside. Definitely a steep climb to get down to the beach but otherwise it was perfect. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need for cooking and serving large group meals.

We came here for my mother in law's birthday weekend and it was a beautiful and relaxing spot right on the water to relax and wine. Definitely need serious bug spray, but 1000% worth it!

Charming house and gorgeous views in a great location. A bit overshadowed by subpar maintenance and cleanliness issues but that did not deter us from enjoying one of our countries most beautiful regions.

This cottage was incredible! My wife and 3 daughters aged 4-8 had the best week of their summer. They cannot stop talking about it. The lake water was perfect for swimming, the play area in the back yard was amazing, and the over all home was beautiful. We will most definitely be staying here in the future. Thank you for providing memories of a lifetime!

The Heron House is the perfect getaway for a big family like mine. The house is clean, spacious, and very kid-friendly. The private beach makes this house very special. Access from the house to the beach is super easy and the views are beautiful. We will definitely be bookin this for next year!

Heron House has a spectacular view! We loved the amenities, such as the pirate ship, paddle board, peddle boat, rafts, and the kayak. The stairs are quite steep, but it's still a family friendly home. We would definitely return!

Stayed at the Heron House over Valentines Day weekend. We were extremely impressed with how clean and taken care of the home was. The house had more than enough of all the things you need including pots, pans, silverware, towels, blankets.
