Will rent again. Very nice house
2 couples, stayed there in mid November. House inside and out is practically brand new. Kitchen is well stocked, plenty of towels and linens. It was cold while we were there, but the outside deck is very large and spacious. Grill could use some help, and there are no TVs. Basement is a plus, but we didn't use it. Property manager lives right across the street and greeted us when we arrived to make sure everything was in order. When we come to the finger lakes, we will rent this house again.

We’re talking about renting again sometime!!
Everything they offered on line was true. They were very accommodating. I will say the coffee pot was dated with pot and Keurig. :-) My family were all adults and we were all very pleased. Thank you!!

Charming cottage
This cottage was more like a home. Everything that you would want at your fingertips was there, plus so much more. Everything is super clean and updated and the owners are wonderful. We had a problem starting the fire pit, and with one phone call, the Ivan was there to replace the propane tank

Immaculate place
Our stay was amazing. The place was newer, immaculate, and so cozy. The coffee bar was great. We spent lot of time on the patio enjoying the peace and quiet and taking in the backyard. Although we don’t have small children the finished playroom in the basement was adorable, and the air hockey and pool table was fun for us adults. It was the perfect place for a family vacation.

A perfect stay
We had a great time at this property. The house was super clean and had everything you would need for a great stay. The owners even left us a little welcome basket complete with waffle mix and maple syrup...a very nice touch. So close to the lake, which we were looking for. A huge property, which the pictures don't do it justice. I wish I brought a badminton net! However, the owners have lots of outdoor games. My only suggestion (and this is a reach as everything was great) is that the fire pit (which we loved) is a little far away from the house and there were no chairs available, so we had to carry the deck chairs down to the pit, which is a bit of a walk as the property is so big. Would recommend some outdoor chairs, which were viewable in the pictures of the house so we didn't bring any. Other than that small thing we loved everything about this place. They had everything you would need, even extra tooth paste! Amazing time. Thank you to the property owners for making our stay so nice!

Quiet Birthday/New Years Getaway
Our stay was amazing and exactly what we needed after a hectic year. Peaceful, beautiful clean cottage. Everything was as advertised. The cottage was so clean and had every amenity that we needed. It was the perfect get away for us and only a 3 1/2 drive from Ontario Canada. Town was only a 12 minute drive. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. And many thanks for the welcome basket of fresh bread, honey, coffee and maple syrup that we used everyday! We hope to return in the summer! Thank you!

This home was absolutely beautiful. Very clean, well appointed, quiet location, just an amazing delightful getaway. My grand babies loved the playroom in the basement, especially the scooters and the air hockey table. The host was super nice and responded quickly to questions about the home. There was a lovely welcome basket upon arrival filled with homemade bread, local honey, pancake mix, local syrup, and coffee. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your lovely home. We had a wonderful time and would definitely love to stay here again on our next trip to New York.

Finger Lakes Stay
The house was fabulous. It having 2 bedrooms with Queen beds was convenient when traveling with other couples. 3 bedrrom with 3 good sized beds is rare when I was looking for a rental property. The house was very clean and well appointed. We thought the waffle and maple syrup gift basket was very sweet, no pun intended. The propane fire pit on the deck is a perfect place to relax in the evening. My wife and I are already discussing next years trip. Thank you for hospitality.
