This was my second stay at the property, and Timothy has made some updates to the fence that were much appreciated, as well as the new well lit front decking. We had an issue with the hot water heater, but by the next day all was in order. Well appointed kitchen and the little extras came in handy.

Economical option located in an industrial part of town. Eclectic vibe in “renovated” older home. Unique use of space to create bedrooms connected to upper Jack and Jill style bathroom. Back bedroom has less car noise. Clean and amenities fulfilled according to site. This house is for sale and owner stated that any realtor visits were off limits during a rental. Owner wasn’t the greatest communicator and although the house is located out of town, a peaceful description doesn’t match what is reality. We hiked, biked, and visited wineries all day and made ourselves at home. Good stay, just know what you are renting for the .

We enjoyed our stay in Geneva. The host communicated well, the house was clean, and we appreciated the helpful information about the area and the complimentary snacks.Our only concern was the living room furniture, which was uncomfortable and didn’t provide adequate seating for four people. We found ourselves rotating between the chair, sofa, and floor while watching television. Aside from that, everything was great!

Really liked the property, aside from the whole place being controlled by Alexa, other than that it was great, the beds slept well

With the house being over 100 years old and plaster/lathe utilizing Alexa with smart bulbs was the best way to upgrade the lighting as there are very few light switches. I'll continue to improve and/or slimpilfy the commands. Alexa commands in front entrance, house rules book, and in every bedroom.

Excellent home base for Wine tour

The property was super clean and very well stocked. Tim the host thought of everything guests would need. The house is located near the Seneca wine trail making it convenient to use as our home base for the weekend. Watkins Glen is only a 40 minute drive. Definitely would stay again when we our back in the area.

This property is close to downtown Geneva and comfortable. Th house was well stocked and clean. The outside could use a little cleaning to remove the debris on the siding.

Timothy was very responsive. The house was very well stocked , with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Great location, to have access to the east and west side of the lake. Easy walk into town too. Grocery shopping was easy, as Wegmans is only a few miles away.
