Russell's Rendezvous - Enjoy a Vacation Full of Adventure!

Enjoy all the Finger Lakes has to offer when you retreat to Russell's Rendezvous. Pure bliss best describes this Seneca Lake vacation home! Located on a private street, this home features modern comfort and amenities that will please guests of all ages!

Entering the driveway, parking for 2 cars is directly in front of the garage, with 2 additional spaces along the side of the road across the street from the house. The main entry leads into a small foyer, which opens up into a spacious great room. Ideal for entertaining, the great room features a comfortable living room set with a romantic gas fireplace, French doors that lead out to the new covered deck overlooking the lake, picture windows that provide a fantastic view from the dining area, and an expansive country style kitchen that is well-equipped to prepare large meals in comfort. To the right of the living room is the master suite, offering a King Bed and private bathroom with his/her sinks, large Jacuzzi tub, and separate shower. An additional bedroom with a Queen Bed is located in the rear, along with another full bathroom accessible just off the foyer.

In the lower level you will find a family room with a large TV and gas fireplace for entertaining. New updates include a 16 foot shuffleboard, multi-purpose table with a top that coverts into bumper pool or poker, dart board, foosball coffee table and an entire cabinet stocked with games and puzzles! Directly off the family room is the lower level deck and hot tub! An additional bedroom and full bathroom are located just off the family room.

Multiple levels of decks allow guests to spread out and enjoy a variety of activities, whether soaking in the hot tub, working on a tan, or enjoying a good book while watching the children play at the beach! A lakeside firepit will provide the perfect spot to relax after a long day. The dock is 100 feet long, and features multiple boat cleats and a set of boat whips for securing a boat. The water depth is gradual, ideal for wading and small children.

Located just a few miles from Penn Yan, Russell's Rendezvous is convenient to area shopping, restaurants, and most conveniences. Right off the main road is a small diner that serves fantastic breakfasts and lunches and a variety of pastries and desserts. Within a mile of Russell's Rendezvous you will find the Keuka Lake Outlet Trail, this 7 mile trail connects Keuka and Seneca Lakes. The Seneca Wine Trail runs right along Route 14, providing easy access to some of the region's best wineries!

About a tenth of a mile away, through the grassy field and tree edged area, Rail Road Tracks run behind this property. Kids have enjoyed hearing the sound of the engine that passed infrequently.

Great Lake House

We had a great time here. So much to do between the dock, hot tub, grill, the awesome fire pit. Really relaxing to hear the sounds of the lake lapping up against the shore and seeing the big dipper from the end of the dock. We would definitely come back!

Wish we stayed longer!

Wonderfully clean property with amazing amenities! We had 3 couples (6 adults total) and there was plenty of space for cooking and eating together, relaxing, and enjoying the outdoor spaces. We're already making plans to come back and stay again next year! Also - contacted the property managers for an early check-in and late check-out and were accommodated for both. If you're considering booking this property - do it!!

Short but Oh so sweet!

Russell’s Rendezvous was a great property. Just as described. Fantastic views, well appointed. There were only 4 adults but certainly there is plenty of room for all. Great value. Will look for a opening again this summer.

Absolute Dream

This place was absolutely beautiful!! You cannot have a better view of the lake. The house is spacious and has a whole finished lower level that includes more hang out space. The weather was perfect during the days we stayed and it made everyone fall in love even more with the property. I got ready here for my wedding and it couldn’t have been more perfect.

Perfect Beach House!

Spent a weekend in this house with 2 other couples, perfect house for this group. Kitchen had everything we needed and more! Beautiful views from both inside and out. Great house to hang out in - lots of amenities both inside and out. Very welcoming and comfortable, fireplace was great on a cool evening. Plenty of room to spread out or gather as a group. Close to town and many wineries. Will definitely be back!

Great gem on the lake!

We did a girls trip and stayed in this beautiful home! The kitchen was well-equipped and large to cook big meals, although we did not. The multiple levels of decks were fantastic and we loved watching the sunrise over the lake from the top deck. Plenty of storage space, especially in bathrooms. I do wish there was more seating in the main living room area, but we made it work. Lovely home and fantastic stay!

Cousin's Reunion

Our group was six adults and Russel's was the perfect place. Very clean, well stocked kitchen in terms of dishes and utensils. Highly recommend bringing extra bath and kitchen towels as well as paper products, as they are very limited in what is provided. Beautiful property with two decks, plenty of outside and inside seating. Seneca Lake is a wonderful setting with so many Wineries, Breweries, Distilleries and Restaurants near by.

Beautiful house

The house was beautiful, clean and spacious. We appreciated the labels on light switches. It would have been nice to have another recliner in living room as there was seating for only 3. Unfortunately it rained 90% of our stay. With that being said, the canvas awning has some holes prohibiting us from sitting on deck during the rain. Overall we made the best of everything.

Fantastic view

The house is very comfortable and spacious. The view is fantastic. However, if you want to swim, be aware that there is a lot of vegetation that makes swimming a challenge. The owner does provide a kayak, paddle board, and paddle boat.

Best Lake House Ever!

This house was the PERFECT get away for a group of friends. Hot tub - check. Lake access - check. Various water sports - check. The most beautiful lake view from the kitchen/living room/decks - CHECK. The beds were also crazy comfortable (coming from someone that is generally so picky), and it had plenty of space for whatever we wanted to do. It was also in amazing shape and the electronic door code made entry so easy. We've all spoken about how we want to stay at this property again it was just that good!

Bachelorette

This was a great property to stay at for our low key bachelorette weekend. We drove a 17 foot RV and were able to park it on the street comfortably. The property and view are amazing! We took the pedal boat out and got a great view of the shoreline too! We went winery hopping Saturday and then had a day of sun and fun at the house Sunday.

Perfect Bachelorette getaway!!

A group of my friends and family booked this property for a bachelorette weekend. We had one of the best trips ever. The house is gorgeous and there is so much space. Very clean too. Of course we loved the hot tub! It’s situated in a nice spot too that you can be in and look at the lake! The decks have plenty of seating too. Location is perfect so close to some of the best wineries! Will definitely stay again!!!
