DESCRIPTION
Wide Open Views is a lovely large home on Seneca Lake. With a huge yard and lots of living space, this home is the perfect spot for a large family, large group of friends, or several families to stay and enjoy the lake together!
Wide Open Views is on the east side of Seneca Lake, only a few minutes from Geneva. The house is large and spacious with two full kitchens, one on each level. With almost an acre of yard space, outdoor patios and a hot tub, and over 150' of private lakefront , you'll have plenty of space for a game of tag football, tag with the kids, or playing on the lake and the shoreline. A gorgeous new playset for the kids has been added in 2024…making this the perfect vacation spot for families with kids! Additionally an upper level patio has been added, with a great outdoor lounge space and a salt water hot tub!
From the front door, you will enter the Dining Room with the handcrafted table built from old saurkraut barrels on the homeowners farm. There is plenty of room for everyone to gather here for a sit-down meal. Walking through the Dining Room there is a large Living Room with windows facing out over the lake, a sectional couch and TV for watching the game. Through the Living Room, and also connected to the Dining Room, is the large Farmhouse Kitchen. The kitchen has a peninsula and bar stools to sit at for a snack or for watching the cook make dinner. Standing at the stainless steel farmhouse sink you can look out the large windows and see for miles across the lake. Behind the kitchen you'll find the laundry room and the entry into the garage.
Just off of the Kitchen is a newly built patio area with a salt water hot tub. You'll love soaking in the hot tub while watching the sun set over the water–the views from the hot tub are phenomenal! This patio space also has several glider rockers and a bar top/stools, allowing you to enjoy the hot tub or relax at the bar top with a glass of wine.
Off of the Living Room is the hallway to the main floor bedrooms. The Primary bedroom is to the left and is quite spacious with a King size bed and large windows facing out over the lake. This bedroom also has a crib available, if you have little ones.
The main floor bathroom with a tub/shower is just across the hallway from Bedroom 2. Bedroom 2 has a King size bed as well. Bedroom 3 is next to Bedroom 2 and has 2 Queen size beds. There is an additional sleeping room (set up like a bedroom) in the hallway just off of the Kitchen. This room has a Queen size bed and views of the lake through the large windows.
Descending the steps from the kitchen to the lower level living area, you'll find the large Family Room with doors out onto the outside patio area. The Family room has is beautifully divided into several living spaces: a large second kitchen with huge island and bar seating along with a secondary bar height table for playing card games and indoor shuffle board, and the secondary cozy lounge room with sofas and chairs for watching tv/movies.
The lower level Bedroom is off of the Family Room and has 1 Queen size bed and a Twin over twin bunk bed. The lower level full bath is next to the bedroom and has a large walk in shower.
Outside you will not lack for space. There is a huge yard on the back side of the house, by the driveway…wide open space for kids to run or to set up a game of badminton or volleyball. There is a basketball hoop on the driveway as well.
On the lake front there is plenty of private lake shore for getting in the water, sunbathing, or enjoying a fire in the firepit. You can see for literal miles down the lake…this house has some of the most expansive views of Seneca Lake that you will find anywhere on the lake.
If you're looking for that perfect spacious getaway spot for a group of 10….Wide Open Views is perfect for you!

Reviews
We absolutely love this house. We think of it as our home away from home given that we have made it a summer tradition for our growing family. This year we were pleasantly surprised by a hot tub and outdoor addition off the kitchen. Each year it gets better and better!
Our group of cousins and sisters were very impressed with Wide Open Views. We particularly liked the lower level which walked out to the lakefront patio. The house was very roomy for 6 adults and in a great location for east side wineries and breweries on Seneca Lake. Highly recommend this place for family get togethers. Although we did not have any children with us – there are nice amenities – big swing set, high chair, kids utensils/plates, and a cozy TV room.
We really enjoyed our stay at wide open views! Hosts were very responsive and the place was very clean. We loved the spacing of the house and the location on the water. It was peaceful but still easy to get to town! Definitely recommend for any larger groups.
Excellent place Would stay there again in a heartbeat!
Great place for a group gathering. Has everything you need to cook your meals. Two full size fridges! We enjoyed bar area and the two large tvs. Great location. Property is huge and location is quiet but not far from wineries, breweries and Sauders market for all the Amish goodies. My group has used Linger Hospitality for several stays over the years and all good experiences.
Our family had a wonderful stay for a week. Joleen was a helpful and kind host. The house was exceptional. It was beautiful and functional and our family including three children had everything by we needed including a crib, life jackets, etc. We would highly recommend Joleen's home and would love to stay here again!
The pictures of the basement have not been updated- it has been completely renovated and is amazing!! We had a great time on the lake using the kayaks and paddle boards that were provided. The outdoor furniture and the dock are so nice! The upstairs kitchen could use a little updating but overall it had lots of supplies and worked out for what we needed.
Wide Open Views was an amazing location! It was the perfect place for our family vacation. We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at some of the updates that had been done to the house and the decor was beautiful. The home was very clean and had everything that was advertised. We spent most of the time outside and on the dock and the whole family enjoyed playing with all the yard games in the great space and using the kayaks and paddle boards! The lake was beautiful during the day and night and a grea
2nd yr we enjoyed staying at "wide open views". To our surprise the downstairs was completely renovated. Beautiful kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, dining area + secluded TV room. We always find the home to be very clean + well maintained. My children + grandchildren thoroughly enjoyed having a lake in the backyard w/plenty of paddle boards, kayaks + tubes to use. This home has created great memories for our family to share. I highly recommend this vaca home + my family is looking fwd to enjoying it again next y
This house was such a good find! It had the best views of the lake and was incredibly peaceful. Such a good spot for a girls trip. Plus, the lower level was recently renovated and it was very nice! It made for the best hang-out space. Joleen provided clear instructions, was very responsive and even provided a great list of local recommendations for food, alcohol, things to do, etc.
