Love how close it was in proximity to the downtown. Having multiple community rooms throughout the house was great with all the different ages that went on vacation with us. Made the space seem even larger.
Kitchen was very well equipped. A few of the cooking pots are getting old, but that was a minor point.Bedrooms were very comfortable and bathrooms were great. the rec room and garage level game room were very much appreciated.

Stinkbugs and ants and dust oh my!Place was absolutely disgusting inside. Their cleaning company is taking them to the cleaners! It's a straight investment property, so no one stops by to check it I guess. I sent a video of me making a circle in the table dust. To be fair, the interior has been updated, they have nice garage for kids to play and a fire pit, but wood was superwet, so it was smoke put for us. The price was cheap, guess I got what I paid for.
It's a very comfortable house. We had adequate facilities for our large group. It's conveniently located to town and all the other facilities the Finger Lakes has to offer. It helped that we had beautiful weather but it was a great choice to stay.
We rented the house for a relaxing bachelorette weekend and it was absolutely perfect. The house was well stocked and located a short distance from downtown Skan. Would definitely rebook in the future!
Great communication with host, very accommodating and clean to perfection.
Top notch appliances, clean and had everything me and family needed to have a great getaway. Would only want to stay here when visiting again.
The home was very nice, spacious, and included a fun game room. We did provide feedback to the owner regarding some concerns, including the temperature of the house and kitchen appliances not working to their best ability, which i believe will be addressed quickly. Overall, I would return again with my friends!
We had a fantastic stay at this home. The house was spacious, clean and beautiful.
The owner was very responsive when we had questions.
Overall it was a great experience.

On the website this probably looks amazing when you get there you see that the art of photography creates illusion. Toilets were covered in sanitized tape yet fecal matter stains were present. Dead buns in the light fixture of the showers, hair on the sheets, cobwebs everywhere! Definitely disappointed, especially considering it was 850 for the night and I wasn't even there for 11 hours.
Really awesome layout. Several full bathrooms is a major plus!!! Big beds, temp control in each room is great! Lots of space, fun area downstairs to play games. Fire pit is great for a night cap and s’mores. Area is very nice and downtown is just 10 mins away. We had a great time here!
We loved absolutely loved the house, some of our favorite features were the heated floors and the showers with heated towel racks! The game room was an absolute blast, we played a few games of pool. The house is open and modern. We wish we could have stayed longer!!
