Morning Dove: restored cozy farmhouse on Seneca Lake wine trail

Morning Dove is a quaint, European-style renovated farmhouse in the heart of the Finger Lakes.  Located along the Seneca Lake Wine Trail, with a view of Seneca Lake, this cozy little house is a warm and welcoming place to stay during your travels to Upstate NY.

Morning Dove was originally built in the late 1800's but was completely renovated in 2021.  We've kept some of the "old world" charm from it's early years....exposed original ceiling joists and other details.  Walking in the front door, you'll enter the Living Room area which has an electric fireplace, Frame TV, and glass patio doors that bring in the view of the back yard and the lake in the distance.  The doors lead out onto the back deck and the large yard.

From the Living Room, you can enter both the Dining room and the Kitchen.  The Dining room has seating for 6, accessibility to the small half bath, and an arched doorway into the large Kitchen area.  The Kitchen has custom cabinets built by a look craftsman, a large picture window, in front of the farm house sink, with a view of the lake, and is fully stocked with cookware, bakeware, and dinnerware for 6.

On the second floor you'll find two bedrooms.  The Master bedroom has a King size bed, an electric fireplace, and a Frame TV.  Bedroom 2 has two Queen beds and a lounge couch.  The full bath is located on the second floor and is spacious with a double sink, a walk in shower, and a soaking tub.  The soaking tub has a large picture window in front of it, which boasts a fantastic view of Seneca Lake.  In the hallway outside the bathroom and Bedroom 2, there is a nook with a desk...a great spot to sit if you have a bit of work to do while vacationing.

The backyard is large and the home has about an acre of greenspace.  There is a backyard firepit with Adirondack chairs for enjoying an evening fire, a charcoal grill, and a egg chair swing hanging in the large maple tree.  While the home is close to the main road running along Seneca Lake, the backyard feels very private.

Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway for 2, a family vacation, or a friends weekend together, Morning Dove will feel like your cozy home away from home with it's comfortable furnishings and modern decor.  The house is located just 1/4 mile from Seneca Lake and is about halfway between Watkins Glen and Geneva making it the perfect place to have access to Seneca Lake wineries, local small towns, eateries, and other Finger Lakes attractions,

Waterfall Hiking Vacation
Beautiful, well appointed home. Great location to visit many state parks for hiking. Very responsive host with attention to detail. Only complaint is the road noise can get loud at times; however white noise devices are provided.

Wine Tasting Vacation
The home and area was very nice and close to our favorite wineries. Satelite or cable TV would be better than Smart TV. Bluetooth in bathroom was an excellent touch. Bed was too hard for our liking. Traffic was loud and seemed busier than expected. Would prefer a recliner in the living room. Enjoyed the firepit and the porch. Overall we had an outstanding experience and would return.

Beautiful!
Beautiful home in the center of Seneca lake making travel to wineries/breweries a breeze! Fully stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, gorgeous bathroom with soaking tub were just some of the highlights! Checkin and check out could not have been easier. Communication with renters got quick responses, but due to their thorough directions and prior communication, we didn’t have to reach out much. Will definitely keep this place on the top of our list for our next visit to the finger lakes!!

Girlfriend's Getaway Vacation
We loved our time at the Morning Dove Villa! After a day exploring the area it was so nice to come back to this beautiful, cozy, comfortable home! Clean, well stocked, very comfortable beds and we loved the shower! I think we're all buying and installing this shower head when we get home....LoL!! We were able to enjoy campfires under the stars and morning coffee on the back deck while watching the beautiful sunrises! We had such a great time and feel very blessed to have enjoyed such a beautiful place on our girlfriend's getaway! Thank you so much!!

Beautiful home!
My 4 bridesmaids and I stayed at this house for my bachelorette weekend in Seneca Lake. The home was beautiful and so well maintained! The owner communicated with us frequently, and even helped by providing an excellent recommendation for a wine tour service. It was really nice to spend our last night grilling in the back yard, and having s'mores over the fire pit. Everyone loved connecting their music to the bluetooth bathroom speaker while we were getting ready. So fun! You can't go wrong with booking this house for a girls weekend away!

Beautiful Home!
We stayed at this beautiful home and could not have enjoyed it more. Extremely clean; charming farmhouse decor; fully stocked kitchenware. It’s in the perfect location between Watkins Glen and points north, and the Keuka Lake area. Property managers were quickly responsive to our questions. Would love to stay here again!
