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.
Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025
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.

Perfect for us!

I rented this house for 6 adults and one toddler, for a long weekend for a family wedding. The house was clean and comfortable. The host thought of everything. There was a pack and play, a booster seat and kids toys . There were board games, puzzles, and smart tvs for the grown ups. In the linen closet there were new toiletries for kids and adults in case you forgot anything. The kitchen is well stocked with basic pantry items. A very comfortable stay, thank you for sharing your house with us
