Welcome to Stugan Seneca Lake House, a peaceful lakefront retreat where Scandinavian simplicity meets Finger Lakes charm. Nestled along the Seneca Lake Wine Trail and just a short drive from Watkins Glen, this four-bedroom getaway is perfect for families, couples, or small groups looking to relax, reconnect, and soak in the beauty of lake life.
As you pull into the driveway, the view of Seneca Lake instantly sets the tone for your stay. Step inside and feel right at home in the open-concept living area, where cozy modern décor meets rustic cabin warmth. Large windows fill the space with light and offer glimpses of the water beyond, while soft, natural touches throughout make it easy to unwind from the moment you arrive.
The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you'll need to cook and enjoy meals together. Prepare breakfast before a day of wine tasting, or bring home local ingredients from the nearby farmers market to create a dinner to share around the custom wooden dining table. You can also dine al fresco on the stone patio off the kitchen or the lower-level terrace overlooking the lake—both perfect spots for sipping a glass of Finger Lakes wine as the sun goes down.
When it's time to rest, you'll have four spacious bedrooms to choose from. The main level offers a primary suite with a king bed and a cozy queen bedroom, while the lower level has two additional king bedrooms, ideal for guests who want their own quiet space. A loft area upstairs offers a comfy sofa and TV, perfect for relaxing movie nights or quiet reading time.
For guests who like to stay active, there's even a private gym above the garage equipped with a treadmill, bike, and free weights. After your workout, take the paved path down to the water's edge, where 50 feet of private frontage and a permanent dock await. Spend the afternoon swimming, fishing, or sunbathing as the waves lap the shore.
Stugan Seneca Lake House is perfectly located for exploring the best of the region. Visit award-winning wineries like Herman J. Wiemer Vineyard, Torrey Ridge Winery, and Glenora Wine Cellars, or head to Watkins Glen State Park for a scenic hike through the gorge. Whether you're here for adventure or tranquility, this lakeside haven offers the perfect blend of both.
From morning coffee by the water to sunset views that paint the sky, Stugan Seneca Lake House is a peaceful escape you'll want to return to again and again.
