We had a nice stay. Nice view overlooking the lake. Nice fire pit near the water. A little disappointed with the accuracy of the photos. Bedrooms were very small. The photos looked like they were from years ago. Brush was overgrown and less open feel then what the photos showed. Oven needs to be replaced. One stove top burner didn't work at all and really couldn't tell what temperature the oven was baking at. Some mold in the washing machine. Other then that the place was clean and generally well maintained.

Nice cozy cottage

We enjoyed our stay at this lakeside cottage. It was conveniently located with Penn Yan only a 10-15 minute drive and close to many very good Seneca Lake wineries. The only downside was that the bedrooms are small without much room to move around.

Clean and cozy

It was Christmas when i stayed so it was chilly out but the firepit by the lake was awesome, Also you get a lake view from the hot tub on the back deck which was incredible. It was private Because the lake isn't busy in the winter. Id stay again. My Dog enjoyed staring at the Geese from the firepit.

Right on the lake

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Lake Dreamin property. You're literally right on the lake, and the views are stunning. There was plenty of area in the back for our dogs to roam and a big firepit right near the lake. Theres also plenty to do in the surrounding area(trails, wineries etc) in) in the surrounding area

Very happy with the location! The place we stayed was cozy and warm and inviting! Big fan of the hot tub! The only recommendation that would make this place spectacular is making some possible updates/new renovations to the house that would make it stand out/shine!

We stayed at the Savannah house a few years ago and have been hoping to have the chance to rent another property owned by Pat so when I realized this was, I was thrilled. The personal touches and b&b feel of the properties is extremely charming & welcoming. We had a great stay! This is a beautiful property, within close proximity to several of our favorite local wineries/food spots, lake access for the dog and a provate dock. The house is well kept and very clean; the pictures accurately reflect the accommodations. Pictures cant quite capture the beauty of the view of the lake, though. We comfortably fit with 2 adults and one dog. Just a heads up, the bedrooms are a little tight but again, pictures are an accurate reflection. If youre traveling with large suitcases or if the guests are on the larger size, it might be a little difficult to manuever. The beds were equally comfortable. I would recommended and absolutely stay again as the bedrooms were not a drawback for us; rather a cozy spot to recharge after a fun filled day.

Nice location right on the lake. Water was nice and clear but I would recommend water shoes or crocs as the bottom is rounded rocks. We’re able to get to watkins glen and Seneca state park in under a half hour. We had a great week stay.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

My boyfriend and I stayed here with our pup for a long New Years weekend and it was absolutely lovely. The cottage is clean, cozy, quiet, and perfectly located right on the lake. The views alone are worth the stay. Also conveniently located near many places to eat and drink as well as hiking trails. The host was also very responsive when we had a question while heading out. Definitely recommend!

Perfect Throw Back Lakefront Cottage

Our stay had all the feels of a vintage lake retreat. Which was 100% what we wanted. It was very private and charming. The lake and fall views from the hot tub made it even better. The cottage was pristine and welcoming. Both bedrooms are very tiny but the view from the living area and deck, it makes up for it. We would definitely consider this cottage for another Seneca Lake vacation.

Lakeside Dreaming

First of all, the water views are incredible. Property sits right on Lake Seneca and there is plenty of nature to observe. Given the position of the cottage and views there are several windows that have broken seals and are foggy so these should be replaced to maximize the enjoyment of the view. Several windows didn't have screens so the ability to enjoy breezes and fresh air was compromised. The hot tub was a nice way to relax and unwind after a day of wine tasting and touring.

Good Short Term Stay

Property is cute as a small lake cottage but could use a refresh. While I understand the look the owners are going for, some things are tired and need replacing. Most notably the couches to start. The bedrooms are very small- which is accurately described- but be mindful they are only full beds and two people is a very tight fit. You also have no room for luggage in the room and while you can utilize the closet- very few hangers were made provided to hang clothes.The landscaping of the property is also something that the owners could work on- while the grass was mowed, the trees and shrubbery were due for a trim. It looked generally unkept- this includes the deck which is time for a power wash and staining. You can’t beat the view and overall the house was clean- it does have the potential to be great with some elbow grease! It’s great for a few days but a longer stay you might want to find a slightly larger place to stretch your legs.

Cozy shabby-chic cottage with a fantastic location

There are not many lakefront places to rent in the Finger Lakes that either (a) are not truly lakefront because a road stands between you and the water, or (b) don't have a zillion steps down to the water. This cottage, at 37 Seneca Street in Dresden, is truly lakefront, with a lawn down to a pebbly beach and a dock. And there are only, I think, 11 easy steps down to the lawn -- perfect for older dogs and people. The Dresden location is perfect for visiting Geneva, Watkins Glen, Penn Yan and wineries on Keuka and on the west side of Seneca. The cottage itself is definitely not fancy; expect marks on the walls and some peeling wallpaper. But it has everything that really matters: a clean bathroom, good water pressure, air conditioning, comfortable beds. We would happily stay here again. Note that unfortunately the Mr. Twistee in Dresden has closed, but the FLX Wienery, which serves AMAZING hot dogs, burgers and milkshakes, is just 10-15 minutes down the road. All within easy walking distance are the Spotted Duck, with its wonderful ice cream; Seneca Stag Brewery (get the homemade peach jam to go); and the trailhead to the Keuka-Senaca Lake Outlet Trail.

Pros vs. Cons - Overpriced

Starting with Pros: hot tub is great; lake view/location is perfect; living area comfortable and decor matches the vintage lake house vibe; newer floors in kitchen/bathroom; close to great restaurants; quiet; private. Now to the Cons: Almost all seams in the kitchen wallpaper is peeling; the wooden towel bars in the bathroom were covered in mold/mildew; heat was not turned on yet; the laminate material used on the bathroom walls is peeling/not holding up, bathroom is in need of a general update; no instructions that we found in the house except for house rules on the fridge door; bedrooms are tiny with no dressers. We stayed there for a week. Called the host phone number listed on the paper on the fridge on Tuesday about the heat not working. No call back. On Wednesday afternoon, I sent a message via the app about it and was asked if we had looked in the bedroom closets for space heaters because they had not turned the furnace on for the season yet and if the space heaters were not sufficient, they would have someone come and turn on the furnace. No, we had not looked for space heaters but did find one in the closet. This would have been a perfect piece of information to have in the house in a folder or something. While I was having this exchange with the host, I asked if they were aware of the level of mold/mildew on the towel bars and they said no and asked me to send photos, which I did. They replied that they would let the owner know. Really disappointing for the money.
