I stayed here with my 4 kids. We booked last minute and were so happy with the house. Everything is labeled so there is no question what is inside a drawer or what light turns on the kitchen. They also had a book with explains about the town and things to do in the area. The place was clean and very accommodating. There is a lot to do in the area. We were so happy with our visit and hope to return again.

Minnie's home was warm and comfortable with all the amenities. Nice spacious back deck & attached garage for easy unloading, especially in the cold. TV and wifi worked well, and 2 bathrooms are always a plus. Minnie always responded almost immediately to any message. We highly recommend and will definitely stay again

Great getaway spot

We spent the weekend with friends. The three bedroom was immaculate and quite comfortable. It was an easy drive to many must see locations. Out only complain was the window air conditioning units were a tad noisy and made for loud conversations during dinner. Otherwise an awesome stay.

Response from VrboOwner on Jul 28, 2025
Thank you for the feedback. The window air conditioner for that section of the house must be installed in the dining room window. We do encourage guests to adjust the window air conditioners to their comfort, but perhaps it is worth noting here, they can also be adjusted for a quieter fan setting as needed. Overall, though, we are glad that you found the house clean and comfortable. Simpler Time Country Cottage is a wonderful location for visiting so many of the must-see places in the Finger Lakes area.
