The Pearl of Seneca Lake, located near Dundee, NY, is the perfect place for a romantic weekend or a vacation getaway, providing luxury lodging in a country setting in the heart of New York State’s beautiful Finger Lakes Region.

The four guest rooms each feature individually-controlled heating and cooling, private bathroom with shower, 3-speed ceiling fan, table with two chairs, refrigerator, microwave, satellite TV, wireless Internet connectivity, hair dryer, and a deck or balcony overlooking the lake. The beds include new Sealy pillowtop mattresses, with 400-count sheets.

We strive to maintain a high degree of cleanliness in our home, which is often noted by our guests. Our bedspreads are washed every 3-4 weeks.

The Chardonnay, Riesling, and Merlot rooms each feature a queen-size bed and a second entrance from the outside deck. The Chardonnay and Riesling rooms are located on the second floor. The Merlot Room (on the first floor), as well as all the hallways and common areas, is fully handicap-accessible (ADA compliant).
