The Grape Escape - Contemporary Style Living on Seneca Lake!

Welcome to The Grape Escape, your perfect home base for exploring the Seneca Lake Wine Trail! Tucked away on a quiet, dead-end road, this beautiful modern lakefront home blends luxury, comfort, and incredible views—ideal for families, couples, or groups looking to relax and reconnect in the heart of the Finger Lakes.

From the moment you arrive, you'll feel the peaceful energy of this lakeside setting. The property has parking for up to four vehicles, plus a Level 2 EV charging station to keep you ready for every adventure. Step inside and you're immediately greeted by wide-open lake views and a bright, spacious great room designed for gathering. Large picture windows frame Seneca Lake, filling the space with sunlight by day and a cozy glow from the gas fireplace by night. The plush sofa, ambient lighting, and wall-mounted fountain make this the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring.

The fully equipped kitchen is ready for any culinary occasion—whether it's morning pancakes or a wine-paired dinner. You'll find stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and plenty of seating at both the breakfast bar and the large dining table overlooking the water. Sliding doors lead out to one of several decks where you can sip coffee, enjoy an alfresco meal, or watch the boats drift by.

Two inviting queen bedrooms on the main level share a full bathroom with a combination tub and shower, and there's also a convenient half bath near the living area. Upstairs, the master suite is your own private retreat. It features a king-size bed across from a fireplace, a comfortable sitting area with lake views, and a luxurious bathroom with a walk-in shower and separate soaking tub—plus another fireplace for cozy evenings. Step out onto your private balcony to enjoy the quiet sunrise over Seneca Lake.

The lower level is made for fun. A spacious rec room features a pool table (with a ping pong option), foosball table, and a comfy lounge area with a TV—perfect for movie nights or a friendly game tournament. This level also includes a bedroom with two twin-over-double bunk beds and a full bathroom with a shower, making it a great space for kids or extra guests.

Outside, 100 feet of natural lake frontage invites you to play and relax. Swim, fish, paddle, or sunbathe on the lounging deck as you take in the stunning views of Seneca Lake.

When you're ready to explore, you'll be surrounded by some of the best wineries and breweries in the region. Climbing Bines Brewery, Anthony Road Wine Company, and Fox Run Vineyards are just minutes away. For dining, shopping, or local attractions, you're a short drive from Watkins Glen, Geneva, and Penn Yan.

Whether you're here for a wine tour, a family getaway, or a relaxing lakeside escape, The Grape Escape offers everything you need for a memorable stay in the Finger Lakes.

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.

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.

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.

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.
