Seneca Lake in February

We are accepting reservations for the first weekend in February and beyond. February is a wonderful time to visit Seneca Lake. The lake doesn't freeze so the snow covered hills form a lovely backdrop for the lake. Mornings, after enjoying a beautiful sunrise, watch the birds at the feeders and the ducks on the lake. Celebrate Valentine's weekend on Seneca Lake and take advantage of our special rates, and the Seneca Lake Wine Trail, Chocolate and Wine weekend, February 12 - 14. If you have never been to Chocolate and Wine weekend on the Seneca Lake Wine Trail, you don't know what you're missing. It is one of our favorite wine trail events. Pick up your souvenir glasses at your first winery and you're off. At each participating winery you will find chocolate and wine pairings, and you may just stop thinking of chocolate only for dessert as often savory dishes are enhanced with chocolate. For more information call us at 607 243-7548 or toll-free 866 670-LAKE, or visit the Seneca Lake Wine Trail Website. Be sure to check out our specials and packages.
