Perfect Christmastime Get-away

A perfect hide-away on Seneca Lake. Everyone loves the hot tub in the cold weather and the videogame machine is a big draw. Five minutes up the road to shop at Wegmans and the kitchen is well-appointed.

The house was exactly as described-but better in person. We enjoyed the new tennis table and just relaxed and enjoyed the view. Our family had a wonderful time and we plan to return.

A Wonderful Stay on Seneca Lake

We rented this great lakeside home while visiting our son at college and loved it. The home overlooks the lake which can be enjoyed from a private dock at the back of the house complete with deck chairs and 2 kayaks. The house had all the amenities we needed to relax with our kids - including a grill for lakeside dining when we didn't feel like going out. M We will definitely stay again!

Beautiful house with an amazing view!

Our stay at the house was fantastic! The house is wonderfully done inside with a modern amenities and looked amazing! It was spacious but still cozy and has amazing views of the lake from the downstairs and upstairs. The back patio and dock were a joy to spend time on and soak in the views. We had an excellent time and we would definitely recommend and stay again! Thanks!

Hidden Gem!

My wife and I could not have asked for a sweeter spot to stay while celebrating our 10th anniversary. The dock, the views and the hot tub were perfect. We used Roy's Marina down the road for our boat, they could not have been more accomodating. Easy access to all of the vineyards and dining spots. We will certainly return! -Matthew & Samantha

wonderful place to stay- my second time staying in the house. Weekend away with my girlfriends. Only complaint was the hot tub. It didn't look the best and smelled weird. We didn't get to enjoy it.

Great memories in a beautiful location

This house has it all! Stunning views! Beautiful home on the inside and out. My family of 4 had a ton of fun. Playing ping pong, kayaks, swimming in the lake right off the dock. We parked the car at the house and never left! Coming from Long Island and having such a fast paced life this was a great vacation to unwind. Just sitting in the Adirondack chairs at the end of the day was so peaceful. Chris was quick to respond and so helpful from day one. We would love to go back again next year. My family and friends are also interested after seeing all of our pics. What an awesome find!! Thanks again to Chris for everything!

Amazing property

My boyfriend and I booked this getaway not knowing what to expect and it definitely was one of the best trips! This house was amazing.. the view, the fire pit, the hot tub and the sunrises from the bedroom were breath taking! The wineries and breweries in the area are great! We were able to do a wine tour with a driver which was awesome. We cannot wait to come back!!

Breathtaking

A girls weekend getaway proved once again to be fantastic. This is the third time we've stayed at Drift Away and it never disappoints. Coffee on the dock early morning, fishing, kayaking, relaxing, watching sunsets and sunrises absolutely amazing. As always, Chris made the stay welcoming. Our girls weekend consists of 5 women who had no issue sharing the 1 bathroom and the accommodating sleeping quarters. The Apple TV, board games, wine and laughter along with a trip to the FLX wine festival in Watkins Glen made for a fun time. Highly recommend Drift Away, I promise you, you will certainly drift away to relaxation while staying here.
