This cottage was a wonderful island of calm during a busy weekend in the area for a family wedding. I can’t say enough good things. Our four kids (ages 6-13) loved it too. Fishing in the crystal clear lake was a particular hit. We hope to be back!
I loved my stay at this property. It was accurately described in the listing and had everything we needed and more. We met the owners when we checked in and they were very friendly. We will be staying again next year if we make another trip to Cortland.
I came to the area to attend a wedding, and made it a longer stay to enjoy the area. This home was comfortable and peaceful. The lakeside location is beautiful.
Stayed here with my husband and our infant daughter for our anniversary. Property is right on the lake and easy to find. It was clean and the hosts were kind. Overall beautiful place to stay and we would stay again.
Loved everything about our stay! Went up for a baseball tournament, but wanted to stay for everything else. The cottage was fantastic, views perfect and loved, absolutely loved the towns of Preble, Homer and Cortland. We were fortunate enough to get to enjoy the fire pit for S’mores, the lake for fishing and had PERFECT weather for windows open and cool breezes! The owners are wonderful people and willing to go above and beyond to ensure your stay is a great one! Take your hiking shoes, fishing rods, Kayaks and leave your worries at home.!
Very cute cabin right on the lake. Property was clean and exactly what we expected. The owners are available and welcoming. Very kid friendly. We had a great time and would definitely go back!
Richard has done a great job remodeling this pretty cottage. It has everything you need with its own waterfront and excellent swimming. We had a very nice stay with friendly & helpful hosts right next door!
Very pleasant stay with a beautiful view of the lake. The landlord and his wife are very friendly and accommodating, a pleasure to have had their attention.
This is a nice, quiet lakeside cabin. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t get the memo that it was springtime. We spent most of our days exploring the Finger Lakes. One of our favorite finds was Dashers, a pub in the nearby town of Homer. Overall, a great cabin for a quick getaway.
This property is cozy, very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The surrounding area is beautiful with lots to see and do. The hosts were also very kind and attentive.
The property was clean and welcoming =)
Loved the games and DVDs for our 5 year old to play/watch before bed. Having easy access to lake was amazing - fishing, roasting s'mores - just a relaxing time with family.
Took a walk around the lake and just up the road was a nice playground our daughter had a blast on. Also just up the road - the "Cortland Repertory Theatre" looked really interesting. Next time I would look to see if they have anything going on while we were there.
Highly recommend - We had such a nice time.
We had a great stay here. The cottage was incredibly clean, fully stocked and exactly as described in the listing. We enjoyed hanging by the firepit overlooking the lake and the indoor fireplaces were such a nice touch while relaxing indoors. We were able to meet the owners who are so lovely. It’s obvious they want you to feel comfortable during your visit. We will definitely stay here again!
We had a great stay to celebrate my daughter’s birthday and Easter. The cottage is in a great location and has a beautiful view of the lake. Although we didnt need to use a lot of the things the cottage is equipped with everything you need for your stay. From pots, dishes, to garbage bags. The hosts are very accommodating a d accessible. Anytime I needed to contact them they got right back to me. I would definitely stay again and recommend staying there.
We went up for a weekend to the Finger Lakes region and to see the 2024 solar eclipse. In early April, it still gets a bit cold at night, but the host made sure the place would be warm, with a heater in every room and an electric blanket for every bed. The place has all the amenities one requires, and the location is fantastic, close enough to major highways but quiet enough for a peaceful getaway. We also enjoyed the vast DVD collection at the place, having a movie night with hot chocolates. We will return again next time we are in the area!
We had a wonderful time! Scenic lakefront view! Amazing family time along with firepit conversations! Went hiking in nearby trails! The hosts are very welcoming and took great care and attention to make it comfortable for us. Will surely recommend !
