Lakeside Resort & 3812 Bistro

Very cute place! My boyfriend and I had a romantic getaway to Watkins Glen and stayed in one of the cabins here. They were very welcoming and dog friendly, which we loved.

The cabins were clean and had plenty of linen and towels. Heating was great in the room once it kicked in. The lake view from the main lobby is the best.

We had breakfast in the bistro our last morning and loved the waffleini. We also loved the dog they had on site!

Would definitely return to stay here again.

The staff at Lakeside are very friendly and helpful to any need that arises. Our room was very clean and comfortable. If you want a location close to wineries, breweries or distilleries, this is a perfect place to stay in the beautiful finger lakes area.

This was our first stay here at Lakeside and it was fantastic. The staff were very friendly, the cleanliness of the rooms were spot on and the location of Great. The food at the bistro did not disappoint. We had dinner, and it was very good. We will definitely be returning!

Wife reserved this place for us weeks ago so we weren't sure what to expect. The place is amazing! Our room is located in a brand new addition. Room has a "never been used" look. Super clean and well thought out floor plans. Spacious bathroom. Our room also has a balcony facing the lake with a small table and 2 chairs. Behind the building is a fire pit that the staff build a fire in each night for those staying on ste. Adirondack chairs circle the fire pit. Also on the grounds are beautiful new cabins all facing Seneca Lake. While the property does not have lake access, the views are amazing! There is a short walking path in a woodline that has a beautiful creek that is very peaceful. We did not eat at the attached restaurant but may try the breakfast brunch tomorrow. The location is out of town about 3 miles which is very nice. If we return to Seneca Lake, we will definitely return here.

We had such a wonderful time at Lakeside Resort. The room we had was comfortable and quiet, clean and well outfitted with new appliances and TV. The views cannot be beat. Such a wonderful sight to wake up to.
We also ate at the 3812 Bistro and it was delicious. I had the burger and some incredible peach bread pudding and my wife had scallops and a cheesecake with fruit for dessert, everything was great, including the service.
The trail by the creek with the waterfall was charming and quiet as well as beautiful.
They have a fire pit lit every night they're able. While we didn't join it did look like a lot of fun with other guests and their pets sitting around chatting.
Please make sure to pet Rocky, the awesome chocolate lab living his best life at the resort. He's a good boy.

Was a last minute trip & turned out perfect! View was beautiful & every staff person so friendly! Room was clean & while it wasn’t super big - really not necessary since so much to do in the area! We did few parks & wineries & enjoyed the resort bonfire when we returned at night (great meeting guests from all over). We will definitely be back!

Stayed here and dined at 3812. Simply great. Friendly staff.. Great spot ... Excellent food. Immaculate room. This IS one of the area's best kept secrets. We'll be back... Updated November 2023 ... We came back. Positively now one of our 'go-to' places in the finger lakes. Cabins are amazing!!

We’ve been coming to Seneca Lake for 30+ years, and this is the first time we have stayed here. We will definitely stay here again. The rooms are clean, location is convenient, the food at the bistro is phenomenal, and we really enjoyed everything about this resort. Friendly staff, enjoyed the campfire every evening.

Really enjoyed everything about the place. The staff was awesome! Had some fun conversation about pork roll and taylor ham for the Jersey folks! The bistro was clean, organized and had really good food. We had both breakfast and dinner. The cabin was clean, quaint, and the view outside was wonderful. We walked the trails on the property and sat by the mini waterfall. Location was perfect for traveling to the wineries and distilleries around the lake, as well as visiting Watkins Glen. We had company every morning for breakfast with Rocky, the owner's chocolate lab. We look forward to our next visit.

We stayed here last night. The cabin is adorable and very clean! It had everything you need for a nice little getaway. Fridge, microwave & coffee pot in the little kitchen. Bathroom complete with a hairdryer and lots of linens. The king size bed was really comfortable & beautifully made. A big TV and a loveseat finished it off. If all that isn't enough the lounge under the hotel part has more coffee, filtered water so you could refill your own bottle, a vending machine & a very welcoming vibe. The food in the bistro was both beautiful & delicious. Rocky, the resident pup, made us laugh at all his begging & following everyone around. We will absolutely be back & will be telling everyone we know to go visit if they can!

Wonderful property! The cabins are adorable and well equipped. The beds and pillows are comfortable - I slept 12 hours! LOL Firepits and games outside in the evening. Spectacular views of the lake. We had breakfast there and it was delicious! We loved Rocky, the lab as well! We will definitely be back!

Beautiful and cozzzzy place to stay! Just 5-7 minutes from Watkins Glen State Park. I’m thinking to return in Fall to see the foliage! And they have their own waterfall!!! The room was clean, they provide blankets for dogs.
The food I bistro was delicious!
They have the private transfer old style tram to the city and around.
Highly recommend!!!!

Stayed 2 nights in cabin 15 and had a great time. We have a small dog and enjoyed the welcome package left in our room. The views of the lake are fantastic. The community fire pit in the evening was awesome. The restaurant on-site serves some of the tastiest food I’ve had. Great location to Watkins Glen State Park and wineries/ breweries in the area. Highly recommend!

My partner and I stayed here for 2 nights in the creekside cabins, we had a great time! The rooms were clean, the view of the creek from our window was spectacular, and the view of the lake from the porch was beautiful. The trails were also very nice. The food and service were great. Their dog is very sweet and cute too! We will definitely be back!!
The room was very clean, the beds were a little firm for my liking, but it wasn’t a big issue. Overall, everything about this place is great!

Rooms would get 5 stars if they included a couch instead of just chairs. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Cannot beat the view; you can watch the sun rise over the lake.

Lovely place with friendly staff and a great proximity to Watkins Glen State Park. Some small shops and local restaurants a couple miles away and the resort is located right next to a highway to continue on through NY. We didn't eat in the Bistro on site, but have heard great things about it. This is a lovely place to stay and very comfortable. The room is small but cozy and comfortable. Privacy is not perfect, but the windows have coverings and let in natural light! Overall, a great place with a great location. Do recommend!

Our third year in a row staying at Lakeside Resort with our dog in a cabin. Staff (human and Rocky) are great, attention to detail is exceptional as far as the grounds and the accommodations. Love being able to go to the restaurant and get a growler to go of local beer to enjoy on the patio or at the fire pit. Do not miss the fire pit, lots of fun and lively conversation. Food at the restaurant is very good and the outdoor deck is even dog friendly. We can’t speak highly enough. Will be back again next year!

Very nice place to stay. Pretty view of the lake. Restaurant was great for breakfast. Dinner was pretty good. Service was very friendly. The nightly bonfire was fun. Self serve coffee and tea is brilliant.
There is a nice guest lounge.
Worst thing was the connected "cabins" have paperthin walls, so very easy to hear everthing going on in your neighbors room, from tv to conversations.

Really nice little restaurant on the west side of Seneca Lake. Easy to see and get to from Rt. 14. We had two lunch specials...grilled cheese with bacon and fish tacos, and enjoyed them both. We got a garden salad (w/creamy garlic dressing 😋) and sauteed seasonal vegetables as our side and they were very good, as well. Table service was friendly and quick. Lunch special is good value for the price.

Top notch. The food was delicious and the complimentary hot coffee/tea a really nice touch. If we were local, we’d be regulars here. Lovely staff, as well
