Herbst's Hideaway on Seneca Lake

Nestled on a secluded drive in the heart of the Seneca Lake wine trail is our lake home we call Herbst's Hideaway. Relax in this air conditioned 2300 sq ft home which is literally 10 ft from incredible level lakeshore. The panoramic view is breathtaking. We also have a 100 ft dock leading to a large platform that will allow you to soak up the sun, swim and relax to your heart's content. Use the paddleboat, 2 tandem kayaks, 1 single kayak or 1 kids kayak to row to the swim raft. Enjoy the four private king size bedrooms (two with bathrooms) and keep the kids together on the 2 sets of bunkbeds.

This house was beautiful! It was stocked with just about everything you could possibly need. The owners go above and beyond in providing necessities and making this place comfortable. The peacefulness outside is amazing. It is so quiet and serene while still being close to many activities. The owners were extremely friendly and answered all my questions quickly.

We visit the FLX quite often and this property was the best we ever rented for 4 couples. We loved how spacious the house was and every imaginable amenity for an ultra comfortable stay was at our fingertips. Matt was super easy to communicate with and eager to make our stay enjoyable. We normally prefer to stay on the east side of Seneca, but this home will definitely bring us back to the Penn Yan area.

For the last few summers we’ve really enjoyed staying at Herbst Hideaway. The location can’t be beat; it’s right on beautiful Seneca Lake where we can watch the sunrise each morning. The house is open and airy as well as fully equipped with everything we need. Matt is always available via phone if needed.
