Great Stay in a Great Location!

We absolutely loved staying here. The property was exactly as described and was very quiet, the hosts very pleasant & helpful. The location was amazing: cottage literally is a few steps away from the lake, plus less than a 15 minute drive to a high-quality grocery store, many wineries, and lots of microbreweries too. Thanks Joe -- we'll be back!

Loved the Lakehouse.

This was a great stay for us. Joe is amazing and the location is very quiet and relaxing. We loved sitting out by the dock and enjoying a snack at sunset. Great host.

Quiet with a View

Very little we needed to bring. All essentials were provided. WiFi was iffy but that’s not what’s needed on vacation. Great access to wineries, breweries and restaurants.

Great First Time Finger Lakes Vacation

The cottage was exactly as advertised plus a great place from which to explore the region...especially Lake Seneca and Lake Cayuga. If you need a place just to sit and watch the water and enjoy sunsets this is it! Owner Joe was very welcoming and accessible. Stay here!

Response from VrboOwner on Sep 14, 2023
Margaret, we are sorry about your confusion with the "no door". Our website has many photos and even a professionally drawn sketch of the cottage interior that clearly shows that there is no door. Please keep in mind, this is a cottage, not a house. Thanks again for staying with us. Joe and Pat

We used this place as a hub to explore the Finger Lakes, the waterfall/gorges, wineries, and Corning Glass Museum. Sorry we did not take advantage of the lake more. We just ran out of time.

Short getaway

We were thinking about a last minute getaway and Joe’s cottage was just what we were looking for! The cottage is lovely, clean, and equipped with everything. The patio, deck, and Lakefront were perfect for relaxing, with great views. Joe was easy to reach with any questions. We hope to visit again!

Fantastic Long Weekend

We had a fantastic long weekend. Joe is a wonderful host. The house was immaculately clean inside, had all the amenities you could need and a cozy feel. The views of the lake and surrounding are gorgeous and the property is perfect for enjoying it all. The location can't be beat. It is just a short drive to all the best restaurants, wineries and breweries in the region. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can't wait to return,
