About this property

Rapalee Retreat - Wine and Lake Lovers Take Notice!

Take some time to enjoy the breathtaking views from Rapalee Retreat! Located on a quiet, private driveway, this spectacular house offers modern design and a variety of attractive amenities sure to appeal to guests of all ages.

The covered carport offers a convenient spot for unloading, and leads into the open, spacious kitchen. With quartz countertops, an oversized kitchen island and upscale appliances, guests will have plenty of space for preparing and serving meals. The dining room is situated just in from the double doors leading to the covered patio, ideal for enjoying the lake views while dining either inside or outside. The great room offers a 55” flat screen tv with Amazon Fire Stick and a new (2023) sectional sofa for plenty of relaxation. Two bedrooms and the glamorous main bath featuring a fully tiled shower and double sinks are situated off the hall which can be closed off from the living area with a pocket door for extra sound sleeping. The master bedroom offers quests a queen size bed with beautiful lake views. The second bedroom also offers a queen size bed. A bonus room for additional sleeping along with the powder room are conveniently off the kitchen area. The bonus room has a triple bunk set and queen bed.

The lower level features an informal rec room with a ping pong table, foosball, a single and queen futon couch along with the second full bathroom with a shower/tub combo. The covered grilling area is just outside the lower level doors allowing for guests to grill in the shade or out of foul weather.

A wrap around porch/deck runs from the carport to the front of the house facing the lake, and is an excellent location for enjoying the views. A fire pit is located below the house in the yard for enjoying evening campfires and great company! With a two acre yard you will have plenty of room to enjoy all of the outdoor games a family could want.

A short drive or walk down Rapalee Road leads to 40 feet of lakefront, along with a dock for enjoying swimming, sun bathing or fishing. A pair of kayaks and lawn chairs are provided for guests' enjoyment during their stay. While the seasonal dock is not set up to moor a boat, there is a public boat launch less than 2 miles away for guests that are bringing a boat with them.

The home resides in a residential resort area which allows for great evening walks along the water or your choice of two restaurants. Located in the heart of the Seneca Lake Wine and Beer Trail, Rapalee Retreat is just minutes from several fine wineries, breweries, restaurants, and the Windmill Farm and Craft Market. Watkins Glen and Geneva are only a 15 minute drive as well as Penn Yan and the Keuka Lake Wine Trail.

All you need is a good book and a cold beverage and your vacation awaits!

Perfect Wine Weekend
This was our 2nd year staying here for a long weekend…it’s perfect. Great location to access all of the wineries, the house was very clean and spacious, and the fire pit is a perfect way to end the day. We plan on being back again next year.

Clean and comfortable
By far, this was the cleanest property I’ve ever rented. It was very well appointed and comfortable. For the highlights of FLX that was on my agenda it was perfectly located. The moonrise and sunrises were a bonus. Thank you!

Sister's Trip
This property was amazing - deer, woodchucks, and chipmunks regularly came to check us out. Both patios looked amazing - however, we arrived just as hurricane Ophilia made it to the area, so it was cool, overcast and rainy for all but one of the days so we were not able to fully enjoy the outdoors. We did a chartered wine tour, drove around the lake and went to several more by ourselves, hiked to the waterfalls at Watkins Glen state park. It was so peaceful and quiet, but so close to many attractions. We will be highly recommending the property management service, and specifically this property in the future
