About this property

The Grape Escape - Contemporary Style Living on Seneca Lake!

Are you looking for the ultimate vacation destination? This gorgeous contemporary home offers elegant and modern accommodations, located right in the heart of the Seneca Lake Wine Trail.

Situated on a quiet, dead end road, makes this location excellent for walking and biking. There is parking above the house for 3 vehicles, and the driveway features additional parking for 2 more. New for 2023, a Juicebox J1772 level 2 40 amp charging station to keep you powered for your adventures!

There are just a few steps leading to the main entry, which opens up to the stunning great room. Large picture windows will draw your attention, as you gaze at the exceptional views of Seneca Lake. An open floor plan provides great flow from the living area through the dining and kitchen areas, separated by only one wall, one side with a gas fireplace and TV facing the living area, and the opposite side with a wine bar facing the kitchen area. The living room features an overstuffed couch, and a wall-mounted fountain to add to the ambiance.

The modern kitchen, with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, breakfast bar seating for 5, and a dishwasher has everything the family chef could ask for. Directly in front of the kitchen is a dining table that seats 8 (4 additional seats at the peninsula counter) , overlooking the lake, and a door leads out to one of the many decks and balconies this lovely home features.

Two bedrooms with queen beds are located on the north side of the first floor, and they share a full bathroom off the hall with a shower/tub. A spacious half bath is conveniently located near the living and kitchen areas.

The stairs off the entry way lead up to the spectacular master suite, which features a king size bed opposite a gas fireplace, a sitting area overlooking Seneca Lake, a master bathroom with a shower and separate tub with its' own fireplace, and a private outdoor balcony. Fit for a king, it is well separated from the rest of the house activities.

The lower level offers a huge rec room, with pool table (and ping pong overlay), foosball table, living area with TV and overstuff furniture, and a walk out to two patios on either end of the house. A bedroom with bunk beds and a full bath with shower are located in the rear.

The lakefront features a permanent dock, a lounging deck overlooking the water, and 100 feet of lakefront for enjoying wading, swimming, fishing, and a variety of other water sports.

The Grape Escape is located just minutes from Climbing Bines Brewery and several of the finest wineries on the west side of Seneca Lake! A short 20 minute drive leads to Watkins Glen or Geneva, and for quick and convenient shopping, the charming village of Penn Yan is just 5 minutes away.

Quiet, cozy and comfortable! Fun in the winter too!

The house was clean and roomy for us. The views were beautiful and there was plenty to do close by, even in late January!

Lovely and well equipped with a minor downside

We stayed in the winter, so could not enjoy getting on the lake- but the kitchen was well equipped and there was plenty of extra blankets. One of the fireplaces did not work (master bedroom) which was disappointing as it was a major factor in booking this particular house in January. There was also a sewage smell outside on the morning we left that was very unpleasant.

Gorgeous, but a few issues

This is a remarkably beautiful home and property. The multiple desks and accompanying lounge chairs and tables made for excellent coffee chats in the morning, and evenings with wine and appetizers. The overall views from the home are beautiful. We loved it. We enjoyed kayaking and fishing from the docks. It does have a few electrical issues, most outlets, including the ground faults in the master bath do not work. There was a problem with the septic system which backwashed urine and feces into the basement shower and never drained. We had no use of that particular bathroom or shower Sunday evening and most of Monday. The septic system needed to be pumped during our stay. Once it drained, we went out and bought cleaning supplies and scrubbed the shower. It was rough going for quite a few house, with five children, and the unavailability of bathrooms or showers. We were told do not shower, use the toilets, use washer or dish washer. I truly enjoyed our time spent at the Grape Escape, but Premier properties needs to rectify these problems and consider some sort of retribution to me for the inconvenience of the septic system problems, and the fact we needed to clean up this very messy job.

The Grape Escape is fabulous

The property was well maintained. Everything was exactly as expected and more. It was truly home away from home. Will definitely use the rental company again.

Marcia P., Buffalo NY

August 2017 Stay

The house is beautiful, & view fantastic, but there were a number of small problems that would stop me from returning. The upstairs tv didn't work at all, ice maker didn't work at all, & basement toilet & shower worked very poorly all week. Plus, the only channel on the basement tv that worked was the Disney channel. A partial refund would be nice.

September 2018 Stay

Lovely decks; nice location. However, so many issues: On arrival, kitchen teeming with flies; deadbolt on lower level door did not wok; significant dust throughout the house; blankets did not appear to have been freshly laundered; ooze from the portable air conditioners was excessive; several windows were stuck and could not be opened; kitchen sink stopper was broken; several lightbulbs burned out in bathrooms on main & lower level; sliding screen door do not close properly and allow flys & bugs to enter; drain in lower level bathroom sink appeared to be partially clogged; closet doors could be opened but would not close; discolored water in main floor full bath. I called Property Management about several issues. Three days later, I received a voice mail from “Josh.” I returned call and spoke to someone in office and requested Josh to call. No response. For the cost of the rental, I would expect NO issues. In the future, we will not be renting any property “managed” by Finger Lakes Premier Properties

College Reunion Getaway

This is a modern, spacious, well-equipped home with a beautiful waterfront on Seneca Lake. There were so many places inside and outside for our three families to relax and unwind. The kids took over the third level which included a huge game room and bunk room. The outside fire pit was enjoyed by all. The house and furnishings were very clean and beautiful! We have already planned to rent the house again next year.

I guess the roaches were sent from heaven....

Beware of roaches if you're renting this property. While the house is in a nice location, with a beautiful view overlooking the lake, the 2 inch roaches crawling around the basement and kitchen made it an undesirable rental. Also the rusty water out of the faucets on the last morning of our rental make me not recommend the property. We've rented through VRBO plenty of times but have never had a problem like this. Finger Lake Premier Property management also gets two-stars for poor customer service.
