Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you loved the house, location, and overall accommodations. We’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime!
Stayed here for our Spring Break visiting our Syracuse student. Enjoyed the sunrises over the Lake and the well-kept accommodations. The Host was quick to respond to questions and very helpful during our stay. The neighborhood around the home was excellent for walking and the community was friendly. Will definitely look to stay here again—highly recommend!!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re glad you enjoyed the lake sunrises and found the home comfortable and well kept. It’s great to hear the neighborhood was perfect for walking and that the community felt welcoming. We appreciate the kind words about the communication and truly appreciate the recommendation. We’d love to host you again on your next visit!
Wonderful check in! Fantastic stay, furnished and styled beautifully. All the amenities were great. Will plan to stay here again. Location is excellent so close to everything you need. Lake is gorgeous and you fall asleep to the sound of the waves. By far a fantastic gem of a home.
Thank you for hosting myself and my husband. This beautifully decorated home was spotless as well as offering all the wonderful comforts of home. Beautiful waterfront views welcome you from every deck. Plenary of space for a family to spread out but comfortable for 2. Wonderful fast responses from the host. Would highly recommend this property. Wonderful!!!!!
It’s a great house with an even better view. The master bedroom was absolutely gorgeous and had a private balcony. Lots to do around the area. The only drawback (and this has nothing to do with the house itself) was there weren’t any sidewalks. I like to walk my dog daily and I’d end up walking on people’s lawns. Speed limit is 30-35mph and cars whip down the street. So just be mindful if you have small children or a dog. With that being said, I’d definitely stay again.

Thanks so much for your thoughtful review! We’re thrilled you loved the house, the views, and the private balcony off the master suite. We appreciate your note about the sidewalks — that’s helpful for future guests with kids or pets. We’d love to host you again anytime!
House itself was well kept and clean. Stairs a little steep but manageable for most able-bodied people. However, outdoor spaces were not as clean - screen was broken downstairs and bird poop also in the door track and on deck. While there was a certain expectation of bugs, suggest maybe spraying the property to keep wasps etc away.But otherwise, lovely community and home!
Had to take garbage out, overflowing. Gas grill too dirty to use.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re so sorry to hear about the garbage and the condition of the grill—this is not the experience we want for our guests. We’ll address this right away with our team to ensure it doesn’t happen again. We truly appreciate you bringing it to our attention and hope the rest of your stay was enjoyable.
We’re very sorry for the inconvenience caused by the booking cancellation. We understand this was frustrating, and we regret that we were not able to accommodate your stay as planned. We hope to have the opportunity to host you properly in the future.
