Great for 2 couples

The kitchen was well stocked, and the beds were very comfortable. It was a couples retreat so one couple had a bigger room/bed than the other but it still worked out well. Beautiful deck and lake views. The owner had a quick response and was very friendly. If definitely recommend this house!

Serenity on Seneca Lake

It was our first visit to the Finger Lakes region and we will definitely return! The location of Serenity Zen house was perfect with quiet neighborhood and amazing views of the lake. The four of us enjoyed coffee on the deck while watching the sunrise and also sat on the dock to absorb the beauty of the lake. The owner, Jim was easy to communicate with and answered any questions in a timely manner. The house was very clean and inviting. Hiking trails and wineries were close by and we had fun exploring them. Overall, it was a very positive experience!

Family Getaway to FLX

My husband and I met up with my sister and her husband for a trip to Upstate and the lakes. Great location on Seneca Lake. House was perfect size, great lake views, decks and a boat dock. Loved all the mini fireplaces throughout the home. Well equipped kitchen. If we get to repeat this trip we would stay here again!
