The house was very clean, had everything we needed, great location for our purpose. The host is very responsive and checked in to ensure everything was good after we arrived. Communication prior to check in was very clear and host even provided some suggestions for the area that were quite helpful during our stay. I would definitely recommend to others!

Upon our arrival, we found the cabin to be very clean and equipped with everything needed for a 4 day stay. The view from the deck was as advertised.........beautiful, peaceful and a great place to "chill" We enjoyed our stay and did not experience any issues or disappointments! Lots of interesting locales to visit within easy driving distance -wineries, Skaneateles, golf, restaurants, etc.

6/10 Okay

Inside of the property was clean yet clearly the recent renovations were just lipstick. The bathroom tile is all that falling out, the new linoleum floors seemed to have a bit of a wave to them. Every appliance was on an extension cord. Surrounding homes left a lot to be desired. This little cottage is actually tucked behind a defunct hotel and closed boarded up gas station. While the house itself was tidy- it was hard to look past the first impression.

Response from VrboOwner on Aug 26, 2026
I'm sorry you did not enjoy your stay. I wish we would have had communication during your time so I could address your concerns. The cottage was built in 1935 as a lakeside getaway. Over the years, things have been updated but kept it's cottage feel. The vinyl flooring is laid over 90 yr old floor boards and will not be straight and level like a new house. The appliances are in their proper places and plugged in appropriately. I am unsure how you were able to see "all the appliances plugged in by extension cords" unless you moved them away from walls to inspect. The neighborhood is a mix of local, permanent residents and second homes and all of them are nice, respectful people who would help with anything you would need. While I cannot control how their properties are kept, I can control mine. And as you mentioned, it is kept clean and tidy. As the numerous reviews before you have mentioned, the house is exactly as described, clean and quaint, a peaceful getaway on the lake.

Lovely Lake Cottage

Even with rainy weather, the lake was beautiful and the cottage was spotless. Close to Homer and Cortland for a fun filled baseball weekend. Noticed several other baseball families staying in the area. Thank you for the memories.
