Wow!! This property was a perfect get away for our friends and family. The home had kayaks, a paddle board, and life vests, and a huge beach area with a fire pit, firewood and a picnic table. The home itself was quiet, cozy and clean and had everything we needed. The host was responsive and kind. Would love to stay here again! and had everythkng we needed

Docking a boat?
Be aware you can’t dock a boat on Cayuga lake and leave with peace of mind. Too rough. A hoist is necessary. We had to pull boat out every evening and put it back in the morning. Luckily a state boat launch is 4 miles down road.

Great cottage!
Beautiful and quiet cottage. Very clean. They had everything you’d need including firewood, grill, towels, linens, etc etc. It was really cold when we were there and enjoyed the Netflix they provided. Overall loved staying and would like to go again in the summer sometime.

Perfect spot on Cayuga
We loved our stay in this beautiful and comfortable home! The house was clean, bright, and comfortable with easy access to the lake. My husband enjoyed taking out the kayak and fishing off the dock, and I enjoyed drinking my coffee from the deck with incredible view of the lake with our 2 month old daughter.The house was well equipped with everything we could have needed. We would love to come back in the future. Thanks for having us!

Fantastic way to bring in 2018!
My friends and I rented this house for NYE weekend. We had an amazing time-- the cottage was clean, cozy, and well-stocked. The view was indeed spectacular-- one friend saw a bald eagle catch a fish from the living room window! Thanks for a great weekend.

Experience
My family had a great time. Wonderful location and beautiful view of lake. Owners lived next door and were very accommodating! It was summer like weather so perfect! Boys went trout fishing on the lake and had a great experience. Kids hung out at rental and we snuck in a couple wineries. Also, took advantage of a hike with the kids at nearby state park. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely Lakeside Home
The best feature about this home is that the back porch connects via a gently sloping stairwell to a private beach on the lake. The views from the porch and beach are beautiful. The private beach has a firepit and plenty of comfortable lounge chairs surrounding it. There is also a picnic table for eating. There is an adjacent large shed storing kayaks, paddles, life vests, noodles, & wood for the firepit. The main house has a renovated 1st floor with a fully-stocked kitchen and lovely living room, master bedroom, bathroom, and laundry room with modern washer and dryer. The temp in the home is very comfortable with the AC units and multiple ceiling fans. It is important to clarify that the upstairs consists of only 1 bedroom, but the open space from the top of the stairwell to this bedroom contains a full sized bed and a twin bed - loft style. The guests who sleep in these 2 beds will not have guaranteed privacy (no door to shut) and will also hear anything going on, or people talking, on the first floor. There is only 1 bathroom, which can be tricky if multiple guests, although the bathroom was lovely - renovated, large, shower accessible for a disabled/elderly person (built-in seat, many handlebars). There is no dishwasher so we found ourselves washing a lot of dishes since we cooked meals. I want to acknowledge how attentive Joelle was. We had a question re: a streaming service and Joelle responded promptly, even coming over to directly help us.

Wonderful home and location for a Finger Lakes visit.
This property is very well maintained. I had already rented given all my research (this place hit all the marks!), but then heard from the owners later, with no solicitation, that they were investing in new enhancements. It is obvious that the owners are serious about creating a top notch place to stay. Immediately upon arrival, we were very pleased renting here. (Actually, we’ve been very pleased renting via VRBO for over a decade. I finally consolidated using a single VRBO account, but I always research the homes and locations extensively for reviews, location, attributes, etc. for a good match.) We’ve been very lucky, but our latest rental is just as good as the rest, if not better. I won’t repeat what you can read from past reviews for this home, but we’d rent here again for future visits. The home is centrally located. You can’t beat it for variety. This is our second long stay in the area (last time was west side of Seneca Lake). From this location, you can easily visit Watkins Glen State Park, Ithaca, Geneva, nearby trails, both Seneca Lake wine trails and Cayuga Lake trails, Taughannock Falls, etc. etc. Taughannock Falls is just 20 minutes down the road as is Seneca Lake. With that said, I have tips for future renters to enhance their stay: There is a supermarket in Ovid that is really close, Big M. It’s small, but has a nice little selection. If you go there, be sure to visit the small baked goods/deli section in the back. They have very nice rolls and bread - great for burgers if you’re grilling using the home’s outdoor grill. Nearby in Ovid is also a small liquor wine/store. For more extensive needs, I suggest the ShurSave supermarket in Trumansburg. There’s a Kinney Drugs across the way. If you visit, Hazelnut Kitchen is a great spot for a bite. Daytrips to Niagara Falls and, also, to Anchor Bar to try the original Buffalo wings are easy to do. You can also reach Rochester for Dinosaur BBQ after biking the trails up there or hitting up a boat ride or bike ride along the Erie Canal. While in town, be sure to visit the Ithaca Farmers Market on weekends (our favorite in the whole US), Moosewood Restaurant for vegetarians, and especially a short walk of the gorges of Cornell campus or their free botanical gardens. Very clean and huge Walmarts can be found within 30 minutes in Ithaca or Watkins Glen for supplies, and be sure to hit up the Corning Glass museum for a day trip. We have lots more tips and you can’t go wrong.
