Love staying here- repeat customers!!!!
Spacious, outdoor patio, kitchen and separate bedrooms=win-win!!! Bedrooms were clean and spacious too! We loved our stay- close to Watkins Glenn, yet plenty of space for outdoor lake viewing and wine sipping.

Beautiful location for race fans
A great value for your money in a great location to Watkins Glenn . Very helpful and friendly staff. We stayed in the hotel rooms, but cabins look amazing. Very clean and well maintained. Quiet family oriented or for those of us who just want a comfy, reasonably place to stay.

Beautiful and relaxing
Our stay at Lakeside Resort was wonderful. We enjoyed 4 lovely days here. It was our home base as we explored the Finger Lakes region. We were always happy, after a day of touring, to return to our comfortable room and relax on our balcony that overlooked the beautiful green space and, in the distance, Seneca Lake. It was so peaceful. The staff was helpful and accommodating.

The owner and the staff at The Lakeside Resort are beyond awesome. Easily the most friendly place we have ever stayed. If you are going to stay on Seneca Lake, this is the place. Rocky the on site chocolate lab is the best.
The food in the bistro is amazing. Even if you are not staying on property, it is worth stopping here for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Beautiful location and rooms were clean and well equipped. Staff were friendly and attentive . The only fault is that the curtains are very light and there were no room darkening shades etc.

The property was beautiful! The views were fantastic, and the staff was very friendly (especially Rocky, the resident dog). The cabin we stayed in was very clean, and had everything we needed. Close proximity to many wineries, breweries and restaurants. We ate at the bistro on site, and had great food. We’ll definitely be back in the future.
