Beautiful scenery

Beautiful scenes set in the ledge of the lake. Quiet and just outside the main stretch of town. Everything was within 5 mins of our location. Small town vibe was just as quaint.

We had an awesome experience at this place! The view was amazing and it was super quiet and peaceful! We were told on this website that check in was at 3, but staff is in the process of switching hours so our keys were just there. Also the wifi password doesn’t work! But other than that, I will be returning back to this place!

Lovely Updated Motel on Seneca Lake

Very nice updated motel with lovely, accommodating hosts. Beautiful view of the Lake from our room with outdoor balcony, too. Cute igloos are available with heaters for four to sit “ outside” and enjoy the day or evening. There is a restaurant but we did not eat there. We pull come back here again.
