Very impressive stocked VRBO with essentials for our stay. We used the kitchen & grill facilities on Friday night and all was perfect. Game room although we did not use much was cool and the theater room was nice.

Great family stay for Syracuse graduation

The house was a short drive from the Syracuse campus. We enjoyed the beautiful views and comfortable rooms. Beak and Skiff was very close by and made for a great afternoon outing! Wish we had more time to enjoy the area!

What a beautiful home!!! We were four women enjoying a "girls weekend" and the space was perfect for us. Even though the weather did not cooperate we did enjoy the wonderful outdoor spaces and a home theatre is great for a rainy afternoon.

Rented the house the night before my wedding for my groomsmen, and we were absolutely blown away. Absolutely perfect place, we loved the hot tub and theater area, honestly just wish that I’d had a longer stay. The hosts were also very friendly and accommodating.

Beautiful waterfront property

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely waterfront home with gorgeous windows letting in lots of natural light. The porch is beautiful and peaceful. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were clean. The lower floor is everything a person could want for family entertainment and the house was stocked with toys that our children enjoyed.
