So, the start had a hiccup, but the guest host (Lauren) was phenomenal, and took care of it as quick as possible. The house is amazing, well maintained.

Vacation

The property and home are beautiful. Lauren is wonderful. Downfalls: no washclothes, too much glass on shelves where little hands can grab, no instructions left for heat (major for those of us from the south) and someone should really clean under the couch cushions. The master closet could be straightened up/organized so someone may be able to hang some clothes up in it.

Great space, no matter the season

We booked this house as a respite between selling our house and closing and buying a new house. It had everything we needed and felt like home for the days we stayed there. It has all the amenities you would ever need. They thought of everything

GORGEOUS house & views, quiet neighborhood. GREAT hosts! We ended up staying an extra night because of a snow storm & the hosts were very responsive & quick when we called to request an extra night. Will stay there again when visiting family.

Christmas Family Gathering

Our family came in from Wellington, FL, Corvallis, OR, and Lexington, KY to spend Christmas with our good friends in Homer. The house was spacious and pet friendly (we had 2 dogs). Can see how this would be a fun spot in the summer!

Memories made!

Beautiful home set on a lake, surrounded by mountains and charm. Enjoyed the beautiful landscaping, the open concept home, fully equipped kitchen, spacious bedrooms, elegant bathrooms. Highlight was the backyard fire pit, lake front and canoe. Kids enjoyed the canoe. Lauren, the owner, was prompt, kind and customer friendly. Good memories were made. Thank you.

No Snow Removal - Homer House on the Lake

The property was exactly as described and met expectations in terms of its features and amenities. However, the experience was significantly marred by poor property management. Upon arrival, the driveway and walkways were buried under more than a foot of snow, rendering the property inaccessible—especially for elderly family members who were part of our visit.Attempts to contact the property manager went unanswered until the final night of our stay, by which time I had already shoveled the large driveway and walkway myself to ensure access. While the property manager eventually offered a discount, she failed to follow through, despite further attempts to reach her. The property management company, Evolve, later issued a 200 refund, which I appreciated, but it did not adequately compensate for the stress and effort required during our stay.This situation was both frustrating and potentially dangerous, and I regret that it overshadowed an otherwise promising rental. Unfortunately, due to these issues, I would not rent this property again.

Super happy relaxing stay

Beautiful property and location. House was well maintained and had all the amenities we were looking for. Didn't need anything. Except maybe a pizza cutter. But found knives and baking sheets, plates and everything else. Loved the quiet ambiance.

Lake Front Treasure

We had a marvelous experience. Enjoyed all the toys for our granddaughter to play with. Contact was great on getting us the a/c that we needed, as it is so unusual to be 90 degrees in Homer.

Nice weekend visiting Finger Lakes area

Hello... House was nice, but here's a few things I recall that could be fixed/improved upon... Cleanliness of house- spiderwebs in cracks of fixtures, basement was dirty, sheets were not cleaned. Light bulbs burnt out throughout the house, WiFi issues- WiFi kept dropping and we had difficulty connecting to the internet, coffee maker brewed slowly- needed to be deep cleaned before initial use, oven not working properly- temperature dial did not provide accurate oven temperature; food ended up burnt; there were wobbly/loose step on back porch & propane tank not full. After I contacted house manager, I was informed to take propane tank to the corner store to refill. The lawn looked like it wasn’t maintained in some time.

Was disappointed no tv in master bedroom. The bathrohhhom mirror was setting on the sink, could not use thr outlets with out moving the mirror, it should be mounted on the wall. Other than that are stay was fine.

Beautiful Lakeside Location

Absolutely beautiful area in the mountains on a beautiful lake. We were able to visit multiple breweries within 45 minutes and they were all great, downtown Ithaca and Cornell were beautiful. We made it to multiple waterfalls. The owners of the home were excellent. In constant contact on our way there and as we were arriving. Inside the home is cozy and comfortable. The master sweet was amazing. All the other rooms were of great size and everything was there that was needed for cooking and relaxing. The hot tub was awesome outside. LED lighting, Bluetooth music and sat 5 comfortably. Hoping to return again when there is snow on the ground. Thank you for the amazing stay. Everyone loved it!

Great property but needs some major TLC

Check in was super easy and the property was beautiful. We were a party of 4 adults and 5 kids, 5 years and under. On the first night we discovered the oven did not work. The knobs were broken and didn’t allow it to properly function. I contacted Lauren and she was extremely responsive. However for the duration of our stay we did not have a functioning oven because although it showed it was off, it was still blowing heat and was extremely hot for hours after one use. We intended on cooking all meals so we were extremely disappointed in having to have take out for our meals which became very costly. On the second night, the trundle bed in the hall bedroom, collapsed. The slats do not stay in place because the mattresses are too big for the bed frame. My two children fell off the bed. My husband thought he fixed it but it fell again the next night. We did tell Lauren about it but nothing was done. So we eventually had kids on the couches instead of the bed. On our last night we were standing in the kitchen and had water drip on us. The shower in the master bathroom was leaking and caused 3 leaks in the ceiling. Resulting in us having to move the couch and pull up the carpet, which exposed so much dirt and junk under the couch cushions and couch on the floor. This house has great potential with the basement and backyard for kids. But the broken items allowing it to not function fully are safety hazards and we couldn’t use it as described or full monetary value.
