Paradise

Michelle was so communicative and helpful; just a genuinely lovely woman. The house was absolutely spotless and was set up so nicely. We visited Watkins Glen while in the area, Tremen State Park, Magnus Vineyard and Seneca Harbor Station for dinner- I would recommend them all highly!

Lovely home, wonderful location, responsive host! We had a beautiful visit and hope to return. The waterfall in the back yard is magical. The in-room air conditioners kept the bedrooms perfectly cool. Highly recommend!

Spectacular Scenery

This house was all we imagined and more. There was everything we could possibly need. The setting was spectacular! Even though we knew there was a waterfall there we were not prepared for how beautiful it would be. It was a great place for a group of family and friends to gather.

If words could describe this property...

Then I would definitely have one of my more eloquent vacation partners tell you about this place. The photos and videos do not do this place justice. Yes, it looks wonderful in the photos, but in person - Just Wow! The home was spotless and came equipped with everything we could want or need. The owner stopped over to show us how to use a few things and came by again to make sure everything was working well. If you stay here, be aware that everyone will be envious. You will have people stop you when they see you outside to ask if they can come get a better look. This was truly a once in a lifetime experience for our group.

Great location with an amazing view

The property has a pretty rustic feel but the real selling point is the waterfall. The pictures definitely don't do it proper justice. It had just rained before our stay so the waterfall was really going pretty much all weekend. It was great background noise and helped us not to worry about being too loud in the evenings (you'd have to be outright screaming to be heard over the waterfall from more than 15 or 20 feet away). The outdoor fire pit is a great spot to hang out and is super easy to use since it is propane operated. There is plenty of outdoor seating for everyone to be able to enjoy the view as well.

Cornell Graduation Weekend and BBQ

We are honored to have the opportunity to stay in this 1800's home. The good vibes and well maintained home and property had us feeling right at home. The location with the Waterfall at the center of the rear of the property is worth a million dollars + We were fortunate that Bill (one of the owners) stopped by and shared some of the history of the home and the surrounding area. We would love to return here again!

Birthday celebration at Glenora Falls

The Estate at Glenora Falls is a beautiful home at a magical location. The falls are both peaceful and mesmerizing. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. Our stay was short but incredibly enjoyable. We would love to stay at this property again.

Highly recommend the stay! Jeff and family were super friendly and accommodating, everything is very well prepared for guests. Most of all, the grounds are totally breath taking!

Magical Waterfall

If you love nature, this place is perfect for you! We had our very own waterfall in the huge backyard! It was truly relaxing and spectacular! There is a grill and a fire pit and a lovely patio out back. The home is big, quaint, and comfortable. Great for a large family. Lovely hosts! This is definitely a place to keep coming back to. Could have stayed longer. A gem!

Quick getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed out time at the Finger Lakes. The grounds are beautiful. Loved spending the evenings sitting outside by the fire pit and listening to the waterfall. The house is very spacious, plenty of seating for everyone and had tons of character. The location was ideal to explore nearby Watkins Glen, Ithaca, boat rentals and wineries. The owners were great to work with and very responsive to any questions we had before arriving.

Beyond expectations

This property will be one of your most memorable experiences ever ! It's indescribable and amazing, only to be outdone by the owners/ host who were welcoming, helpful and communicative. One of the few trips that I will most definitely look to book again. 5 stars across the board !
