English Lakehouse:"Spectacular views on the Seneca Lake Wine Trail"

Welcome to the English Lake House! This highly sought after vacation home is located on the east side of Seneca Lake, where you can enjoy the gorgeous sunsets of the Finger Lakes from the comfort of three levels of decks, or right by the lake on more than 100 feet of gradual entry lakefront.

With ample parking for five cars, and dedicated common facilities on two separate levels, English Lake House is the perfect retreat for two families vacationing together.

Entering the home, you are greeted with an open floor plan for the main common areas. The kitchen is both spacious and has enough counter space to cook meals for the whole family. An island offers seating for three in the kitchen, while a dining table that can seat eight offers views of the lake through the sliding glass doors. Opposite the kitchen and dining area, you'll find the living area. A comfy couch, recliner, and overstuffed armchair offer seating in the living area, while you watch TV on the large flat screen TV [which comes with HBO, Showtime and a DVR], enjoy the cozy fireplace, or just enjoy the view through the large, lake-facing, picture window. On this main floor, those with limited mobility will enjoy the convenience of having a spacious bedroom with a queen bed, flat-screen TV, a full bathroom, as well as access to a covered deck that spans the entire width of the house. Full-size laundry facilities are also located on this floor.

The upper floor hosts the master bedroom with king size bed, flat-screen TV, vaulted ceiling, and sliding glass doors that let you enjoy the view from inside the bedroom, or on the private covered deck that spans the width of the home. An additional bedroom on this level faces the rear of the property, and has one queen bed and one full. A full bathroom with tub is also located on this floor.

The lower level of the home features one more bedroom with queen bed and a 3rd full bathroom. Additionally, you will find a second fridge, and common area living space with flat-screen TV. This room also encompasses a day bed, with a trundle bed, and there is a second set of stackable laundry facilities. A walk-out door on this level will take you down to the lakefront.

A/C windows units are located in every bedroom, along with the main living room to keep you cool on those warm summer days. Additionally, the home gets excellent wireless reception, so you can stay connected to family, and keep them up to date with your vacation photos!

Are you ready to head outside? Take the stairs to the large permanent dock, with covered boat lift, and kayaks for your boating enjoyment. A gas grill for cooking is located on the main level of the home by the front door, and a fire pit for those late night star gazers can be found on the lakefront. The natural entry beach is great for beginning swimmers, or children to play in the shallows, and the fishing on Seneca Lake can't be beat!

* Boats are not able to be tied to the dock.
** 4 Wheel Drive Vehicle or All Wheel Drive Recommended for the Drive-way.

Everything you need for a great family getaway
House is clean, comfortable and well-stocked; great views of the lake and easy access to the water. Watkins Glen nearby with a great state park for hiking and stores/shopping for anything you might need. Right on the wine trail (which we didn't do, but sad we didn't) with tastings, breweries, food, live music. The mgmt company was very responsive to our minor questions. Kids are already asking to go back! P.S. if you stay at The English, please tell Sully we said hello! ;-)

Beautiful house
The lakehouse was a nice hidden gem. Like others posted the driveway is very steep and gravel. The GPS directions weren't as bad as the postings made it seem to be. The managers should just update the posting with a couple of sentences for the directions to alleviate any anxiety. I would've given 5 star ratings however before we arrived we were informed the water well needed replaced and they provided a tank of water for us. They informed us the water tasted bad for drinking but safe for cooking and washing. Well.........our first night there the house had a smell of sulfer to it and the water smell almost made me puke just washing dishes. There was no way we could cook with that water. Then on top of that the hot water tank wasn't working properly so we didn't have hot water for morning showers. I called the management office and they sent someone in a couple of hours. The filer was changed so it didn't smell quite as bad after that. We still used store bought water for cooking. Other then the water and sulfer smell.........the house was great. It did leave a little sour taste about staying there though

Excellent location
Beautiful property - quiet and secluded on Lake Seneca, but quite close to all the hiking and shopping attractions we were interested in. Home was tastefully decorated, well stocked kitchen, and comfy beds. Lots of room! Would love to stay here if in the area again.

English lake house getaway
The English lake house was exactly as advertised. Updated home with three floors each having at least one private bedroom and full bath. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking, decks sport gorgeous views of the lake, fire pit for evening s’mores, kayaks and plenty of tubes for floating! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay (especially close proximity to nearby vineyards and breweries) and look forward to returning in the future.

Thanksgiving with extended family.
We had a wonderful stay at this property. All descriptions of listing are accurate, and possibly we missed it but there was also an additional twin bed in the downstairs suite. It worked out extremely well for our two families plus grandparents. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a big thanksgiving dinner! Lovely property.
