Great finger lakes getaway

My husband and I had a great weekend. Location was perfect and close to so many places. We've been to the finger lakes many times and always enjoy it. The property was great, I will say we would have loved a heads up about the drinking water situation, but do appreciate that some bottled water was left for us. We were also a little turned off by the outside security cameras. Completely understand the one at the front door, but the one over the back deck/private areas seemed a bit of an invasion of privacy, and these were not disclosed in the listing. But overall, still an excellent stay, and would go back.

Relaxing the perfect spot.

This was the perfect week to recharge. Relax take in the abundance of nature abound. The location is perfect with short drives to alot of wineries and breweries. State parks are also short drives for amazing views of waterfalls and good hiking. The cottage is just perfect. Miles our dog enjoyed sunbathing on the dock.

Cute and clean

Place was cute and very clean!!! Bed comfy. Location and water/deck/fire pit areas were fantastic!!! Looking forward to returning in the future. One suggestion is the small tv is on a stand in the kitchen/dining table open area and couch is facing the other way...maybe if possible move tv so if you sit on the couch you can comfortably watch. Thank you.

The lake cabin was so cute & cozy! Bed was SUPER comfortable from the time you got in it to the time you got up. The view is spectacular, can't get any better & the cabin has everything you need. Was great to have a fire and a glass wine by the lake & to listen to the waves coming in on the shore. Owner was great & readily available to answer any questions...I would highly recommend this wonderful & special lake cabin & we would definitely come back to stay again..

Awesome, very relaxing, the decks were utilized for sitting with morning coffee and listening to the gentle waves crashing. Our dog enjoyed the birds and ducks floating by. It’s so cute and quiet and just what we needed to get away. We enjoy visiting many wineries in the area. Recommend this place!

Great Location

We had a great stay at this cute little cottage on the lake. Check in was seamless with all information provided well in advance. Well equipped kitchen as we ate in each night. We loved being on the water and enjoying the peaceful lake. The location was great for visiting both Seneca and Cayuga lakes. Highly recommend Taughannock Falls and Watkins Glen!

Cayuga cottage

Do you know how at the end of your vacation, you’re generally ready to head home. Not this time. Time permitting, we could have stayed for weeks. The home and the lake provided such a peaceful setting but also access to more thriving communities. Overall , just what the doctor ordered.

Perfect Week of Relaxation

Our recent stay at this home was amazing. So amazing that we requested an additional night and it was easily accommodated. The location of the home is perfect for visiting the many wineries along the lake and just a short ride to Seneca Lake. We spent most of our time fishing off the gorgeous dock catching yellow perch and my husband was even able to catch a lake trout from the kayaks on the property. Jennifer and Toby are top notch hosts who are very easy to communicate with and welcome you with a delicious bottle of wine upon arrival. We can not wait to hopefully book this home for our Finger Lakes getaway next year.
