The property was clean, the view was absolutely beautiful on the lake. The neighbors were very friendly and welcoming. Close to the wine trail. We sat out back on the deck and down below lakeside with the fire pit going. Definitely would stay here again.

It was easy to navigate the space at Regina's Cottage. It was not far far from parking to front door, nice layout overall - both inside and out. The only minor inconvenience was that washer and dryer is located in master bedroom, so not neutrally located if guests were present. The deck outside off of living room with sliding glass doors was wonderful for dining, having coffee or drinks, and just enjoying the beautiful lake view. The beach with a good sized dock was another popular place to hang out. Also, there was plenty of water toys and devices, kayaks,etc. for all to enjoy as well as a large campfire area with ample seating as well as a supply of campfire wood. We will consider staying again for sure.

Regina's Cottage was better than the pictures! Very clean, incredibly convenient location and everything was as promised. We were missing one kayak paddle and one was brought to us in the morning. Beautiful location and house. Would go again and stay here specifically.

Perfect spot for a weekend getaway!

My husband and I loved this cute bit of heaven on the water! The house was very clean and modern. Loved the record player in the living room. Beds were comfy. Very relaxing spot to stay. We had rain all weekend, but it was as still nice to sit by the windows and watch the water after a day of hiking/wineries. Check in and out was a breeze. Highly recommend!

Quiet and calm

This property was the perfect size for my husband and I. We could have hosted a couple friends as well. The property is well appointed and comfortable. The last house on the street, it is fairly private on one side as well. When we had questions the rental company was quick to get us our answers.

Regina's Cottage

Beautiful location on the water, easy parking, short distance from car to door! The view and deck are wonderful and having a grill was a plus. Dock is in great shape with easy access to the water. Kitchen has more than everything you need. Surprised a dishwasher was there! A/C was appreciated in this heat! The only issue was that the shower had dark hair in it (I was the first to shower) on the walls and when I went to clean the drain, there was a lot of it. Pretty gross. No way it was cleaned prior to our arrival. Other, than that, it was pretty perfect!

Memorial/ Graduation wknd

Fantastic location and well taken care of. Very nicely decorated and has everything listed and more. I gave a 4 on cleanliness only because of all the cobwebs. I would suggest having a broom outdoors to help guests remove these pesky webs. Also a removeable shower head might improve the shower forguests who are a bit taller. Overall this is a fabulous place and would definitely stay here again!! Thank you for providing all the little extras like games and records for the record player. All the items to kayak and the beautiful dock were so enjoyable. We had a great weekend celebrating our son, away from the craziness of Cornell and downtown Ithaca. It was an easy drive and easy to get to!! And the view from your locations is spectacular! Thank you!!!

Lovely but...

We certainly enjoyed our time at Regina's Cottage. It is beautifully appointed inside and we loved the artwork throughout. The view is certainly breathtaking! One suggestion would be to have access to some sort of user manual. We were confused about how to work the TV along with the cute little record player as well as air conditioner controls. Finally, we were actually appalled by the cobwebs covering the outside of the house. They were everywhere including the front door. Not sure what the solution to this is, power washing maybe, but it should certainly be addressed as we found it really uninviting. As a side note, the neighbors did not appear to have the same problem.
