Perfect Christmastime Get-away

A perfect hide-away on Seneca Lake. Everyone loves the hot tub in the cold weather and the videogame machine is a big draw. Five minutes up the road to shop at Wegmans and the kitchen is well-appointed.

Amazing property

My boyfriend and I booked this getaway not knowing what to expect and it definitely was one of the best trips! This house was amazing.. the view, the fire pit, the hot tub and the sunrises from the bedroom were breath taking! The wineries and breweries in the area are great! We were able to do a wine tour with a driver which was awesome. We cannot wait to come back!!

Breathtaking

A girls weekend getaway proved once again to be fantastic. This is the third time we've stayed at Drift Away and it never disappoints. Coffee on the dock early morning, fishing, kayaking, relaxing, watching sunsets and sunrises absolutely amazing. As always, Chris made the stay welcoming. Our girls weekend consists of 5 women who had no issue sharing the 1 bathroom and the accommodating sleeping quarters. The Apple TV, board games, wine and laughter along with a trip to the FLX wine festival in Watkins Glen made for a fun time. Highly recommend Drift Away, I promise you, you will certainly drift away to relaxation while staying here.

Great stay on Seneca Lake

It was our first time to the Finger Lakes, and this property was a great choice. Very comfortable sofas, chairs, and beds. Beautiful home, beautiful view, and the hot tub was great! Kitchen was perfect for preparing a nice meal. Close to many wineries and breweries. We all had fun and look forward to coming back again soon, maybe in the spring, summer, and fall!

Cares will drift away...

This home is appropriately named! We had a lovely stay despite iffy weather. Chris has thought of everything to make vacationers feel welcome and well cared for. Everything was immaculate and in perfect condition. Beds were comfortable and towels were new and plentiful. Loved being able to save some money and eat-in for several meals. The view is amazing and we even scored a beautiful sunrise one morning. Thank you, Chris, for sharing your home with us!

Great place for a family vacation!

My husband and I were looking for a place to take our two sons (ages 8 and 4) for a little end-of-summer trip. This house had everything we wanted in a vacation home - a short drive from Buffalo, location right on the lake, kayaks and a paddle boat, a beautifully updated interior, and easy access to various attractions (Strong Museum of Play, hiking, playgrounds, etc.). We would definitely stay there again!

Perfect spot to relax!

The house is beautiful and literally could not be any closer to the lake. Everything is very well maintained and tastefully decorated. The amenities like the hot tub, lawn games, boats, and the dock make it so you have to force yourself to leave the house to enjoy the wineries! Chris was fabulous to deal with. I highly recommend and would definitely go back!
