Comfort, quietness, and views abound

Beautiful views abound in this cozy yet spacious lakefront cottage. The living area is larger than pictured, as is the waterfront area. The kitchen and outdoor shed are stocked with anything one might need or desire for an enjoyable stay.The house was impeccably clean, and plenty of towels, paper goods, and cleaning products were supplied. The road leading to the home is quiet and the surroundings provide for a mostly private experience.The host was generous and communicative. We will definitely return to this gem on the lake!

Wow!! This property was a perfect get away for our friends and family. The home had kayaks, a paddle board, and life vests, and a huge beach area with a fire pit, firewood and a picnic table. The home itself was quiet, cozy and clean and had everything we needed. The host was responsive and kind. Would love to stay here again! and had everythkng we needed

Peaceful Lake Front Stay

This was a great stay for our girls trip to the wineries. We were a short ride from the Cayuga wineries and the Seneca wineries in the east side! The house was super clean & functional for 4 adults with some room to spare. The dock is terrific and you can’t beat the peaceful beauty of the lake. Bring some games or a good book to keep you busy at night. I’d recommend and go back!

Great cottage!

Beautiful and quiet cottage. Very clean. They had everything you’d need including firewood, grill, towels, linens, etc etc. It was really cold when we were there and enjoyed the Netflix they provided. Overall loved staying and would like to go again in the summer sometime.

Fantastic way to bring in 2018!

My friends and I rented this house for NYE weekend. We had an amazing time-- the cottage was clean, cozy, and well-stocked. The view was indeed spectacular-- one friend saw a bald eagle catch a fish from the living room window! Thanks for a great weekend.
