Reviews From Our Past Guests:

This home was absolutely beautiful. Very clean, well appointed, quiet location, just an amazing getaway. My grand babies loved the playroom. The host was super helpful for questions. There was a lovely welcome basket upon arrival. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your lovely home. -Catherine

A great choice for a group based on its condition, location, and amenities. The house was new and extremely comfortable, and the location allowed for a secluded stay but was still in close proximity for lake recreating or wine tours. A perfect balance! Thanks to the hosts for their professionalism and hospitality! -Cody

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.

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

Great place, indoor and out!

My friends and I stayed here for a weekend and had such a great time. It was close to several breweries with great views. The fire pit out back was used every single night, with the wood they provided. Would definitely recommend!

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.
