“Absolutely amazing”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The service was great, the hosts were very accommodating and friendly. The view was amazing and the rooms were great. We reserved all the rooms for a family reunion, I got to see each one and each one is great. The green room has a cool waterfall and very elegant bath. The other rooms have spectacular views of the lake and they all had very comfy beds. Had a great time, couldn't recommend highly enough!!

Room Tip: The green room has the fanciest baths but the other two rooms have the view of the lake.

“Wonderful place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011

I found this place online and then read the previous reviews on trip advisor. The reviews are what made stay here. I am so glad we did.

We got there after dark, a little hard to find in the dark but we got there. Donna and Frank, the owners, met us when we arrived. Their home is beautiful! We stayed in the Green Room, which was fully equipped with everything you will need. There is a sleep # bed in this room, which was very comfortable. The private bathroom to this room was simply stunning which is newly renovated with an amazing, fully enclosed, shower/tub combo with a really cool waterfall feature.

This morning when we woke up, we could see Lake Seneca, which comes right up to their back deck. What a view!!! Simply beautiful and relaxing.

Donna and Frank also made us the best breakfast before we had to get back on the road.

I would highly recommend staying at Sunset on Seneca. Give them a call! You wont regret it.

Room Tip: I did not see the other 2 rooms but the Green room had the really cool bathroom.

“Explore the Seneca Lake wine region and be sure to experience the Sunset on Seneca !!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 September 2011

The second leg of our first Finger Lake long - weekend took us to Seneca Lake, and are we glad - - we were able to experience this wonderful B&B, owned and operated by Frank and Donna. Located on the southeast section of the lake just across from Watkins Glen, Donna and Frank were extremely hospitable hosts, with recommendations for dinner, exploring the area, and the opportunity to JUST RELAX!!
The property is a mere 3 guest rooms, so you feel like you are visiting friends. We chose the Green Room (apparently a popular choice for its waterfall shower). The room has climate control, a Select Comfort mattress, and all the amenities you'll need, including quiet comfort. In the common area (library), there is a computer so you can peruse your email. Restaurant menus of local establishments are found in a binder.
Donna and Frank were always there to help you maximize the benefits of your stay, but recognize that they are there if YOU need it, but not to impose. The breakfast was custom ordered and served with graciousness, and their restaurant suggestion (Suzanne's) was a nice treat! If you are interested, they will explain the nearby salt mine operations, the history of the house, and their life experiences -- - quite interesting on all accounts.
PLEASE be sure to experience the namesake of this location - - - -THE SUNSET -------both evenings, we enjoyed the lakeside seating and watched the sun disappear --- you can enhance your experience with your own adult beverage ---- - it is so peaceful!
While in the vicinity, be sure to experience Watkins Glen - - -the natural beauty of the falls and park, as well as the village business district. (TIP - - Go to the state park early to avoid the tour bus and related crowds and be sure to carry your cameras!.) The business district is an historical throwback to how business was conducted before the development of malls and their ubiquitous cookie-cutter tenants.
Try the Red Next Winery and Cafe - - - food and wine quality excellent --- in a very bucolic setting with view of the lake.
The area has a nascent farmstead cheese operation - - -it's just a short drive to Lively Goat farmstead, where you can meet the cheesemaker and the goat herd, sample the products and buy at the farm. (Their cheese quality is recognized and carried in select Wegmann's, so you know it's good!)

Just a short drive away is the Corning Glass Musuem, which is well worth the trip to view the glass exhibits and to experience the live demonstrations.....

If you miss Sunset on Seneca, you're missing a fun experience!!

“A Beautiful View of the Lake at a Lovely Home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2011

people found this review helpful

We had the pleasure of staying at Sunset on Seneca in mid-August 2011 and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Frank & Donna welcomed us into their home and provided us with a delicious breakfast in the morning. They were very relaxed and we were able to choose at what time we preferred to eat our breakfast. They provided a delicious offering of fruits, berries, yogurt, scones and coffee cake that were available throughout breakfast for our choosing, and also a hot meal of our choice from a list (waffles, pancakes, or an omelette). We are both vegetarians and we were fully accomodated with a variety of breakfast choices.

The room was warm and inviting with a wonderful view of the lake. It was wonderful to wake up to this view and watch the ducks out on the lake. There are many places to sit indoors in the sun room and the view from the breakfast table was equally as beautiful!

The house is right on the lake and we had full access to their backyard, deck, and dock. We enjoyed walking out on the dock for close-up views of the lake and the gorgeous sunset in the evening.

I also loved that there was a very friendly cat outdoors that we met on the deck. Such a sweetie! We also saw another cat inside although we didn't interact with it. They had a dog as well but it was in a separate area from the guests. We love animals so it was nice to be able to meet their cats.

Frank and Donna were very kind, polite, attentive, and made great conversation. You could tell that they truly cared about making our stay the best possible and even asked us if there were any ways that they could improve at the end of our stay. We will not hesitate to recommend Sunset on Seneca to friends and family, and we will be back to stay again!
