Awesome reunion space

Met up with 5 other friends from high school after 40 years and enjoyed every minute of our stay. The view was great and there was plenty of space to catch up and stretch out. The large dining table was great for “ family” potluck and games. Perfect space for our group.

Beautiful and peaceful lake setting. Lots of hiking, boating and wineries in the area. We went to an Amish market/store that served the biggest and best ice cream around. Couldn't get over the size of the cone. We had such a good time didn't want it to end.

Great place to stay!!!

We had a family vacation with our two daughters and their families and we couldn't have picked a better place! It was roomy, very clean and we all had our own bathroom. We rented a boat that made it that much more fun. Cindy, our host, made things so easy. We'll be back!

Lovely Lake Home

Large, clean home for our extended family get-away. We enjoyed wineries, Wolfies ( close enough to walk to ) and a dinner across the lake by boat. The pool table in the basement was fun to play with family. The very close state park and great playground and life guarded beach was a hit for the little one in our group.

This is a wonderful home away from home. We gathered here to attend my mother’s memorial service and what a respite for a whirlwind weekend. Everything we needed plus healing views of nature surrounded us with comfort. Will definitely use for future stays.

Great Vacation

Our party of 6 adults and 4 kids had a great time. The house easily accommodated our group size. Pool table in the basement is great for rainy days. Cindy was incredibly attentive to any questions or issues we had. The house has a lot of lake toys (canoes, floaties etc) and a small deck at the lake is a great place to hang out. Towns are close to run and grab groceries etc. Great price point as well. Thank you Cindy!

Lake Stay

We loved being able to play in the lake. There were canoes, an inflatable, life jackets, pool noodles already there. We were able to fish from the dock and make s'mores in the firepit by the lake.

Unpleasant rental experience

I have rented numerous houses in the country thru VRBO and this did not meet what I assume their standards. What I noticed first were the entrances into the house were not clean and appealing. The deck was in poor condition, moldy, dirty and need of replacement. At the lower entrance it wasn’t much better. Because of the landscaping beds there was dirt run off in front of door. That may seem trivial but that’s not an inviting welcoming site. The house was clean inside but lacked little touches to warrant its expense. The pictures at VRBO site at the time didn’t match the actual contents of the house in the main living area, I noticed they were updated since my stay. Besides not having a toilet paper holder in the on suite bathroom, roll on toilet, really. The “pleebe” size toilet, child size was rediculious with a loose seat that my mother-in-law slide off and almost feel on the floor. The railing going up to the second floor was loose and had quite a wobble in it, not safe. We had to go out and buy new pots and pans, the frying pans were black with burned on food, yuck. The shower head in basement bathroom was not spray adjustable stuck on jet setting and unusable. It set the tone of not up to my standards or what other rents would expect. If this was my property at this condition I would have been embarrassed.

Enjoyable Stay!

The house is spacious and beautiful with a great view of the lake. The one suggestion that we have is that the game room could use a dehumidifier.

Vacation

Had a very enjoyable week, house is well suited for our size group with great room to relax in evening, stayed cool during high heat week. Happy hour on outside deck, use of dock for boat.

Awesome Getaway

We had such an amazing time this weekend. The house had everything we could ask for-the view, the amenities, the location, and the hostess. Cindy was responsive, and provided a beautiful place for us to stay for a few days. We especially enjoyed our day on the river with the canoes and waking up to such a beautiful view. Thank you!

Just what you need to relax

We enjoyed our stay here. Cyndi was very helpful and hospitable. The view is beautiful. The access to canoes and a private dock provided good leisure opportunities. Even though the road is right there, it was a quiet place to stay. I would strongly recommend this place to anyone who wants a clean, relaxing place that is easily accessible to Cayuga and Seneca lakes. If there is one thing that could be improved it would be more kitchen items/utensils. All the basics were there but since we cooked every night there were times we could not do two things at the same time for meal prep.

Beautiful waterfront getaway!

My girlfriends and I rented this property for a low-key, relaxing bachelorette weekend. Cindy was great from the beginning - always responsive regarding my questions and full of great suggestions (activities, restaurants, wineries, etc.) - and the house was beautiful and exactly as presented - spacious, clean, and open. Highly recommend!
