Great place to stay
We had a great stay in Geneva. The Wine Down Bungalow is clean, spacious and perfect for a few nights away. We had the dock to ourselves for the solar eclipse. Great space to stare out onto the lake. Our first morning, the shower water did not get hot. The owners were quick to respond and it was fixed immediately. Very responsive and easy to deal with. We’d recommend this place to anyone looking for a cute place to stay about a ten minute drive away from the center of Geneva.

Great Eacape
The property was as expected… the (shared) dock was a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the beauty of Seneca Lake. We were lucky that the “big house” was not occupied, as the lakefront would not have been nearly as nice with others around so close. It was perfect for us to come and go while visiting friends and family, would stay again. Owner and Manager were perfect.

Needs updating
Needs updating because several things are broken, paint job is shabby, linens are poor quality, the bed mattress is very soft and sinks in the middle, One window will not lock and a shade needed re-stringing in order to work. Otherwise the place has potential if upgraded.

Cozy getaway
This is a great place for a quick getaway to the lake. The bungalow is basically a renovated garage which is very cool but also a little small. But, it was perfect for me and my boyfriend for a couple days. Stephanie was very nice and communicated quickly with me. The dock is absolutely beautiful with really nice Adirondack chairs. There is a larger home that has more access to the property which was disclosed in the description. I was completely okay with being able to have access to the dock. It is next to a railroad which was surprising but you can’t hear it at all at night. Overall I really enjoyed our stay at the bungalow, it was clean, has AC, and plenty of room for a quick couple nights on the lake. Definitely recommend!

Nice location. Beautiful dock. But there were a number of small issues. Poor bed being the worse.
With the number of nagging issues, we have to give this cute property an average rating.

This was a tough renter from the start. Lots of unneccesary complaints and no appreciation. Unfortunately, this was a first for us as we have a great track record of keeping all our guests happy and we welcome their return. These folks, really just one person of the party, were displeased with everything. The smart TV wasnt working in their opinion, but it was. They just were not useto having that at home. They called to complain about the wifi 5 minutes after arriving which led to an entire evening of addressing it immediately with them, and happily. However, the problem was never the wif, it was teaching them how to properly set it up on their iphones and ipads. We even ran data tests for them to confim it was working, and I also made a trip there to test it myself inside the property to show good faith to which the result was, it was working. Again, there was still no satisfaction. While I was there, they told me the screen door was giving them a tug so we had maintence come out within hours and fix that. They did most of their complaints offline and to me directly via text but it would be unfair to not mention that they too disliked the bed. The brand new 2022 bed that was just put in. We strive to make everyone happy and welcome at all of our properties. Sometimes, you just have to take the tough with the good. We welcome our guests back, this one however, I refunded and hope to not see return. Hope others can find a different experience with this party.

If you decide to stay in the “bungalo”, there are some things you need to know: 1. It’s not a bungalo, it’s a tiny studio apartment above a garage 2. There are some steep steps going up to the place, and the chairs are very uncomfortable. 3. You DO NOT have a view of the lake. All of the pics of the lake are from the view of the big lake house. 4. There is no cable and the roku remote is broken, but you can use your phone with the roku app. Basically, it’s a bit of false advertising going on here. Not worth the price.

Perfect for two!
If you are looking for a quaint and cozy place to stay, try here! In Geneva, located close to wineries, breweries, restaurants and downtown! Grilling area with seating and dock access are just right! Place has enough room for sleeping, eating and relaxing!

Great home and location
Staying at Stephanie’s Wine Down bungalow was perfect for my wife and I. The bungalow is great for a couple and we loved getting to meet the other families in the main house as we used the shared dock. If we’re ever back in the area this would be our go-to place. Stephanie is fantastic and was extremely responsive. There were nice touches in place upon arrival.

Forget about the miserable school year
My wife and I are both public school teachers. We needed to get away from this awful year of teaching during a pandemic—and a break from our kids as well. The Wine Down Bungalow was a perfect match for what we needed!

The property was very clean and was great for a couple. Wish there were a couple of chairs or a table set up outside.
