Beautiful property and great hosts
You could not ask for better host than Steve and Melissa. They put a lot of effort into making our stay at their home as good as it could be. Communication with them prior to and during our stay was great. They provided plenty of great recommendations for restaurants, activities, and wineries and breweries to visit in the area. The house sits right on the water and has plenty of outdoor space to enjoy the great views. Inside the house is beautiful as you can see in the pictures. I really liked the live edge wood trim which is everywhere in the house. The home is also stocked with just about anything that you would need for your visit. They provided coffee, tea and even made sure my wife's favorite creamer was in the fridge when we arrived. We would definitely stay at this property again next time we are in the area. Thanks again Steve and Melissa!

Has it all!
The view of Seneca lake is amazing, the house is stocked with essentials even beach towels, the location of the house is ideal for parks, wineries, breweries and restaurants. The house is literally a step away from the lake, there is space for all! Steve and Melissa are very thoughtful host - having our favorite coffee and creamers! They are super easy to reach if needed. This was our fourth stay and we just can’t get enough! Spectacular! Steve and Melissa thanks again for making our family vacation memorable!

About the host

Hosted by Steve & Melissa Zeitler

Host profile image
Hi from Steve & Melissa!
Steve was raised in the New York/Westchester area, but I grew up in Asheville, NC and went to college in Indiana. After college I moved to the NYC area and eventually met Steve.
We own a natural cleaning products company that we started almost 30 years ago. So, naturally (ha, ha) you can expect that this home is cleaned with safer cleaners, too! Our business and main residence are located in south-western Connecticut. We have two grown children, Eric & Paige, who we love spending time with!

Why they chose this property

Vacations in the Finger Lakes have been among our favorite getaways for the last 16 years - and we recently decided to purchase a home so we could spend as much of our free time there as possible. Because we loved traveling around ALL the Finger lakes; checking out the wineries, visiting the wonderful parks & enjoying the breath-taking landscape - we narrowed our search down to Seneca Lake to be centrally located! And once you see a sunset on Seneca, you will understand why we wanted to be on the East Side of the Lake! We also liked that Geneva was so close for trips to the grocery, etc and Ithaca an easy-enough drive to get to more fun stuff!

What makes this property unique

When we walked in the door of this house - we instantly felt like we had stepped into a "true getaway!" We didn't have to walk through the house to the lake to feel like the vacation started! It felt like you're in a lodge at a resort! The main part of the house is post & beam and the enormous master bedroom has vaulted ceilings. Everywhere you look there is another thing to "ooh and awe" over;" like the crackle finished barn doors, the hand-carved mantle on the 2-story fireplace and gorgeous wood floors throughout. Plus, every room has a view of the lake! Of course - when we walk through the house - and walked to the end of the dock - it was like a whole other kind of escape! There was also lots of decks to hang out on - and a beach area with another seating area! And because there are only boat houses on either side - we loved the privacy!
