Russell's Rendezvous - Enjoy a Vacation Full of Adventure!

Russell's Rendezvous is a welcoming lakeside home on Seneca Lake, perfect for families, couples, or groups looking for a Finger Lakes escape. With three bedrooms, three full baths, and two queen sleeper sofas, this retreat comfortably accommodates guests while offering both relaxation and fun.

The main living area features a cozy gas fireplace, spacious dining room, and country-style kitchen, all with beautiful lake views. Step outside through French doors to a covered deck that overlooks Seneca Lake, an ideal spot for morning coffee or evening drinks. The master suite includes a king bed and luxurious private bath with double sinks, a Jacuzzi tub, and separate shower.

Downstairs, the family room is packed with entertainment, including shuffleboard, bumper pool, darts, foosball, and a cabinet full of games. A second fireplace adds to the cozy feel, and the room opens to a lakeside deck with a hot tub.

The outdoor spaces are just as inviting, with 50 feet of natural shoreline, a 100-foot dock for boating and swimming, and a lakeside firepit for evenings under the stars. Located near Penn Yan, wineries, and the Keuka Lake Outlet Trail, this home is the perfect base for Finger Lakes adventures. Your Seneca Lake getaway starts at Russell's Rendezvous.

The initial check in code didn’t work, but we were quickly able to call the service number and get a new one. The house was beautiful. So many activities with the hot tub, fire pit, shuffle board, and things like a surprise kayak and paddle board! The house was well equipped in the kitchen, but make sure to bring all your own spices and oils for cooking. There was a keurig and regular coffee pot with a reusable filter. The beds were very comfy, and there were plenty of extra blankets in the closets. Overall we loved our stay and would definitely come here again!

Absolute Dream

This place was absolutely beautiful!! You cannot have a better view of the lake. The house is spacious and has a whole finished lower level that includes more hang out space. The weather was perfect during the days we stayed and it made everyone fall in love even more with the property. I got ready here for my wedding and it couldn’t have been more perfect.

Great gem on the lake!

We did a girls trip and stayed in this beautiful home! The kitchen was well-equipped and large to cook big meals, although we did not. The multiple levels of decks were fantastic and we loved watching the sunrise over the lake from the top deck. Plenty of storage space, especially in bathrooms. I do wish there was more seating in the main living room area, but we made it work. Lovely home and fantastic stay!

Fantastic view

The house is very comfortable and spacious. The view is fantastic. However, if you want to swim, be aware that there is a lot of vegetation that makes swimming a challenge. The owner does provide a kayak, paddle board, and paddle boat.

Cousin's Reunion

Our group was six adults and Russel's was the perfect place. Very clean, well stocked kitchen in terms of dishes and utensils. Highly recommend bringing extra bath and kitchen towels as well as paper products, as they are very limited in what is provided. Beautiful property with two decks, plenty of outside and inside seating. Seneca Lake is a wonderful setting with so many Wineries, Breweries, Distilleries and Restaurants near by.

Wish we stayed longer!

Wonderfully clean property with amazing amenities! We had 3 couples (6 adults total) and there was plenty of space for cooking and eating together, relaxing, and enjoying the outdoor spaces. We're already making plans to come back and stay again next year! Also - contacted the property managers for an early check-in and late check-out and were accommodated for both. If you're considering booking this property - do it!!

Beautiful house

The house was beautiful, clean and spacious. We appreciated the labels on light switches. It would have been nice to have another recliner in living room as there was seating for only 3. Unfortunately it rained 90% of our stay. With that being said, the canvas awning has some holes prohibiting us from sitting on deck during the rain. Overall we made the best of everything.

Best Lake House Ever!

This house was the PERFECT get away for a group of friends. Hot tub - check. Lake access - check. Various water sports - check. The most beautiful lake view from the kitchen/living room/decks - CHECK. The beds were also crazy comfortable (coming from someone that is generally so picky), and it had plenty of space for whatever we wanted to do. It was also in amazing shape and the electronic door code made entry so easy. We've all spoken about how we want to stay at this property again it was just that good!

Bachelorette

This was a great property to stay at for our low key bachelorette weekend. We drove a 17 foot RV and were able to park it on the street comfortably. The property and view are amazing! We took the pedal boat out and got a great view of the shoreline too! We went winery hopping Saturday and then had a day of sun and fun at the house Sunday.

Perfect Bachelorette getaway!!

A group of my friends and family booked this property for a bachelorette weekend. We had one of the best trips ever. The house is gorgeous and there is so much space. Very clean too. Of course we loved the hot tub! It’s situated in a nice spot too that you can be in and look at the lake! The decks have plenty of seating too. Location is perfect so close to some of the best wineries! Will definitely stay again!!!

Great Lake House

We had a great time here. So much to do between the dock, hot tub, grill, the awesome fire pit. Really relaxing to hear the sounds of the lake lapping up against the shore and seeing the big dipper from the end of the dock. We would definitely come back!
