This house is well equipped, thoughtfully decorated, and so much bigger than the pictures make it look. It was the perfect peaceful home base while we were visiting family. We would definitely stay here again if it’s available when we’re in town.
Property is spacious and clean. Had a nice visit with family. We had plenty of room to spread out and visit despite rainy day. Our dog lives watching to boats go by.
The house beautiful and clean as described. We enjoyed our time with the fire pit. Fishing off the deck was the highlight of our vacation Carla was quick to respond to any questions. The house was spacious with plenty of seating. Thank you for everything!
The property was just as advertised and even more spacious than I expected. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and will look into the availability of this property when we have our next vacation in CNY.
We stayed for Syracuse graduation weekend. The house was clean, spacious and very well stocked. The view of the river was so beautiful and the sun porch was very relaxing.I would recommend this property to anyone traveling in the area.

Thank you for these kind words! The house looked great upon your departure! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! Congratulations to your graduate! Please think of us on alumni weekend!! Take care.
Had a nice weekend visiting family. Home was the best equipped place we have stayed in. Lovely sunroom with a great view of the River and boats going by. Hosts were very responsive
This property has everything you need to just drop off your belongings and enjoy your ourselves. Great location for exploring the Finger Lakes Wine Trails, access to river and lakes for boaters (the locks are a fun experience), or just relaxing on the dock or the porch with a book.

Thank you Margaret- we are so glad you enjoyed the house and area! Come back again!!
We rented the house for lodging for ourselves & our staff for the duration of the NYS Fair. It was a beautiful, quiet location for us to unwind after working all day. The rooms were very spacious & comfortable. We all loved the accommodations.
We enjoyed our stay very much. The house is roomy, clean and well furnished. The yard is lovely and well maintained, it should be noted there is a good deal of poison ivy in the landscaping and edges of the property line. Not an issue if you recognize it and have kids old enough to understand.

Thank you for your comments. We try so hard every year to get rid of that poison ivy. If anyone has any suggestions- please share!
My family and I had the best weekend at this beautiful property. I rented it for a small graduation party for my daughter. Carla, the hostess was gracious and replied to questions quickly. The property was even better in person than it was in the pictures. I would not hesitate to stay here again. Everyone that came was as impressed with the house, yard, and river as I was.
Our family - anglers, and this place is very good for fishing. Property has very good pier. All general stores are in ten minutes away. The house has everything for cooking, relaxation and spending the time during the day and evening outside or on the porch. The grill is available.We spent 7 days in magnificent environment, and we are happy.Carla is very nice person and communication with her was very pleasant.
We had an awesome stay! Carla was great with all the communications. Check-in and out were easy!
The rental was very spacious! We had my family visiting us each day and they were all surprised by that. We had time fishing, sitting by the river, and many meals together. We were staying during the heat wave and thankfully they had AC in every room! My favorite times were early mornings by myself sitting in the sun room (not in the photos), with my cup of coffee, looking out at the river, and or working on puzzles. Very relaxing!
My husband, dog, & I stayed here for a week, and found this house to be spacious & comfortable. It has a nice view of the river, a big side yard, a new dock with a place to launch a boat/kayak. We enjoyed the proximity to Beaver Lake Nature Center, where we walked each day (note: no dogs allowed there). The house is well stocked. There is a small screen porch that we enjoyed, though someone had been smoking on it, so the smell had lingered. The master bath sink had very low water pressure, so we had to brush teeth in the upstairs half bath. Also, you have to drive into the property on a long gravel road, which left our car very dusty.
This was our second time at the property’s so relaxing, easy to use, comfortable and Carla was so easy to reach for questions. It was exactly what we wanted!
Loved the house and the river. It was very spacious and relaxing. It was a great family weekend getaway. Had zero issues with anything and the host was wonderful.
This was an absolutely perfect river front property. You can dock fish or launch a small paddle boat or kayak into the river from the backyard! This was perfect we fished almost all day and had fires at night. Stores close enough if you need anything.
Large house, plenty of space and good size property. We traveled from 3 places to this central location close to our parents area for Thanksgiving. In total it was 4 adults, 3 boys aged 6-9 years old and 2 small dogs. Our parents came for dinner which we cooked all in the house and had plenty of room in the living room, dining room and kitchen to cook enough for 8 adults and 3 kids. Tons of games in the house, we loved the fooseball table and all the beds were extra comfy. We would be happy to stay again!
Carla, the host, was very responsive and courteous. Everything we needed was available and the price was great.
Loved the privacy and quiet and of course the view of the river. Very comfortable accommodations . The road to the house needs fixing due to so many potholes!

You are correct about the road! We’re working with the local farmer to help us out. I’m glad you found comfort at the house. Come back again!
What a wonderful stay! So relaxing with a beautiful view of the Seneca River! The house has everything you’ll ever need and has a amazing homely touch, we felt so comfortable there! Carla was wonderful and kept in touch through the whole process. Would highly recommend this rental for anyone would be interested in the area or even if looking for a quiet place to stay!
