Family Wedding
Our nephew got married this weekend. The house was close to the rehearsal dinner and even closer to the wedding venue. The house was beautiful, well appointed and the views were spectacular! We loved having coffee on the deck and enjoying the wonderful weather!

Property is very clean and totally updated. Host provided more than any other place I have stayed. (Even white vinegar so we made poached eggs for breakfast!) The view is beautiful and coffee on deck each morning was sooo relaxing! We loved our stay here. I highly recommend.

Caroline's place: a five-star Finger Lakes experience!
GF and I spent three days in late June at Caroline's lovely home just to the east of Ithaca. Furnishings were very complete and comfortable, water from the shower was hot and abundant, and the Internet connection was fast and stable. For us, an added bonus was the fireflys' nightly riotous lightshow extravaganza as viewed from the back deck, accompanied by hours of starry skies. Caroline's home is convient to Ithaca and a pleasant, scenic drive to Watkins Glen and Seneca Lake. I recommend Caroline's home without qualification!

Great property
Absolutely a great location and view was amazing. Property was lovely and very functional. The only issue was it appaears it was not cleaned. the refrigerator had an terrible odor and the bedrooms had dead bugs everywhere Headboards and floors. The kitchen counters were sticky and all around the toaster were crumbs and a few ants. I am sure this was an oversite and not a reason not to return. ONe could see the property was generally well cared for. We talked about staying again when we visit family next year.
