Hidden oasis

We had a wonderful time. Very peaceful retreat tucked into scenic nature and surrounded by waterfalls. Kitchen and bathrooms were updated thoughtfully and we greatly appreciated the dog friendly amenities. The hot tub was a killer bonus! Highly recommended for nature lovers who appreciate a quiet and lovely experience.

Wonderful lakeside getaway.

We were greeted by a cascading waterfall just outside the door! The wraparound porches and cozy tucked away nooks offered perfect places to talk, play a little music, read, nap, and enjoy the dazzling lake view. The quaint old fashioned decor spoke of a long history of happy family times. Modern conveniences including a jacuzzi kept us comfortable and relaxed.

Dont rent this house

House is filthy and full of pests. Spiders and silverfish in the sinks and cabinets. Cobwebs everywhere. Our kids were scared to sleep in their bedrooms due to the number of bugs and spiders. My wife spent the first night knocking all the spiderwebs down on the front porch. Enormous hornet next on the front gable. I contacted the property manager and asked them to call me but never heard from anyone other than text messages back and forth. Other than that the location is great and it has a view.

An ideal lakehouse experience

Belle's Buttercup is a charming lakehouse with all of the amenities of home. The rooms had a lot of character, bordering on spooky, but fun! (This place should probably be on Atlas Obscura.) It has a lived in feel that I appreciate when it comes to cooking, relaxing, and enjoying time with friends and family. There is ample space and a variety of areas to gather or enjoy time alone. The balconies with table and seating were a favorite! The space on the lake was nicely arranged for campfires, stargazing, swimming and row-boating. In response to some of the other reviews. At the time of our visit, all water was clean and functional; there was also a water cooler for drinking water. There were a few bugs, minimal, but in my opinion that comes with staying in a lakeside, wooded property. The only thing I would recommend is clearing the spiderwebs, and having better cleaning implements for guests to use while visiting. There was ample signage for use of the amenities in the house but they could be clearer (namely for the hot tub and stove).

Property managers fell short

How to turn off is perfectly pleasant and the description is quite accurate although not complete. Our problem started on the first day when we had an electrical failure which was more than just resetting a breaker in the breaker box. We also found that the doors would not lock. We immediately contacted the property manager who sent someone out to confirm what we said and they agreed that this was serious and would be addressed immediately. Sadly nothing else was done we spent the whole trip without power in our kitchen , also worrying that the electrical failure could become more serious and even potentially start a fire. We spent our entire time there with no way to secure the building when we went out. These failures in basic safety and security overshadowed the quality of the house and the area. Basics are important! VRBO and Vacasa we want an apology!

Beautiful location, but overpriced

The cottage is just that - a cottage. Nothing fancy, a throw back to a simpler time. After owning an old cottage on a lake we thought we knew what to expect. While the location and views from the porch are lovely, the amenities leave a lot to be desired. I would have a hard time recommending Belle’s Buttercup to anyone else and feel we paid way more than we should have.

Rustic Cabin

The cabin is right on the lake and the view is amazing. We watched all of the weather (and it came in many forms) and it was impressive.

Beautiful scenic views from porch, but a ton of spiders inside House and outside house

Beautiful property to stay at, nice location, not happy about all of the spiders that were all over the beds and hanging from the ceilings coming down at night and jumping out running across the floors when you’re trying to get ready for bed couldn’t go in the hot tub at night, cause it was loaded with spiders all around the hot tub given when you cleared them off of the room, they came right back, definite problem.

Beautiful cabin with so much space

My wife and I enjoyed our stay. This cabin has everything, multiple rooms, view and access to lake Seneca, and accessible to many wineries. I wish we spent more time at the cabin to enjoy it to the fullest. We would highly recommend this location to our friends and family.

Beautiful spot, poor bathrooms

Great spot, nice old cottage but the bathrooms could use some work. Doors that work properly would be a nice addition. There were many other minor issues with either AC units, noisy dehumidifiers, rock hard king bed.. it was still a nice get away but we won’t be back to this one.

Buttercup house on the lake

Rustic home on Lake Seneca. Was just wife and I but plenty of room for larger families or groups. Close to all the vineyards. In warmer months the house has its own boats/kayaks that can be used. Nice hot tub to relax in at the end of the day with great view of the lake!

Nice Cozy Place

Nice place on the lake, very quiet and private, everything is included in the rental, nothing really to bring (except keurig coffee pods) Plenty of room we had a family of 8 including small children. The kitchen was a bit crowded, the furniture the house is on the older side. But overall nice place to rent. We would recommend. Thank you for your hospitality.

A very special location

While I agree that some of the furniture could stand to be replaced with more comfortable furniture, the location is really magical, imo. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes and implements for cooking. The majority of the beds were comfortable. What really makes the place special is all of the outdoor seating, the views, and the sense of a long history of enjoyment of the place over many years. I enjoyed the sense of being tucked away there, with little need to worry about any interference with our enjoyment of the location. The hot tub was delightful, as was the fire pit. We didn't use the boats, but it was out of season for them. Overall, I really loved how unique and personal the place was, making it feel like home.

Rustic home on Seneca Lake

Nice views and lots of space for a large group to enjoy time at the lake. Many beds to choose from on two different levels and modern appliances. The interior of the cottage is rustic but clean and feels like your stepping back in time.

Family gathering

The house was clean with lots of room for everyone. The views of the lake were wonderful and saw several rainbows and one night owl saw the northern lights. Kitchen was a bit crowded and the vacuum didn’t work well enough to clean the rug but was otherwise very comfortable

Quaint and crawly.

Beautiful setting for a summer get away on the lake! House had all the amenities you would need and has an upgraded stove which is not seen in the pictures. The clean could have been better for sure. And maybe keep an eye out for cobwebs inside the home. It’s understandable to have cobwebs on the outside of the house given its setting, but shouldn’t have excessive within the house. Also for future renters be mindful of where you park your car, or maybe bring a cover as there is an oily sap that drips from the trees.

Cool days at Seneca Lake

The home was comfortable even though the weather was not with fireplaces in the lower bedroom and family space. The views were spectacular especially when the sun finally came out.

What a Lake

This property is in a perfect location. The house was clean and had all the stuff you could need to enjoy your stay. Silverware, cups, plates towels, blankets, bedding ect. Just beware the low ceilings down stairs, they got my husband a few times. The lake and docks are stunning. The hot tub was very clean. All around a great stay.

Interesting old (historic feeling) lakefront home

Fascinating old lakefront home, exactly as advertised. I would have rated this property 4 out of 5 overall but there were a couple of nuisance items that need to be resolved for others’ full enjoyment. 1. The old refrigerator in the kitchen was barely functional. The freezer section seemed to be OK but the refrigerator section chiilled the contents slightly below room temperature. There was no temp adjustment available in the refrigerator. Bottom line: Replace that refrigerator. 2. There was no running hot water in the downstairs bathroom sink. The downstairs bathroom shower was perfectly fine but the hot water for the sink was cutoff. The shutoff valve below the sink was open for hot water but none came out. That sink was limited to cold water only. Don’t get ne wrong, I would stay at this home again, but these basic items need to be resolved.

Quirky House. Fantastic Location/Scenery

You cannot beat the views, outside amenities and location. The house itself is old, Knick-knack filled and the kitchen stove actually a bit scary. We rented the house in October and we needed heat. Two gas fireplaces did not work and the gas stove had only 3 operational burners (which took a while to figure out… you had to wait 30 seconds for the pilot to catch on each burner). Maintenance came out to check gas fireplaces and stove and the guy had never even seen a stove this old! The electric heat units eventually heated up the house just fine. But the electric in general was fragile… we blew a circuit using the microwave and toaster at the same time. Easy to fix except the circuit box was covered by the new refrigerator… maintenance came out again to move fridge and access circuit box. Check out instructions and email asked we please start the dishwasher. It was portable and had to be hooked up to the sink… No instructions on how to do that… again maintenance (for a total of 3 separate visits) was quick and helpful. The beds were comfortable, but unusual to have a mirror above your bed in the master in a rental unit. Hot tub worked well, dock and fireplace were fantastic. Interactions with Vacasa were very friendly and helpful.
