Perfect waterfront cottage
What a wonderful place to have our ladies getaway! It exceeded our expectations! We enjoyed so much having cocktails and coffee on your beautiful covered porch and LOVED the view of the water! Our bonfire Friday night was so great! It was so nice that you provided wood ...in fact, your home had everything we needed. We found the beds, covers, pillows and towels all very comfortable and all of us said it just felt like being in our own home.! Loads of space and privacy and loved the extra "bunk house" Such close proximity to Watkins Glen and we enjoyed hiking there and returning "home" . Thank you for allowing others to enjoy what you own! We hope to come again next year! Sincerely, Sue A
A perfect location for a stay on Seneca Lake for wine and beer tasting.
The rental house was great and the newly remodeled lower level was awesome. There were 8 people that stayed there for the weekend and my wife and I were very fortunate to stay in the lower level and wake up to a beautiful view of Seneca Lake. There was plenty of room inside for all of us, outside for parking, around the fire pit, and on the deck. There are plenty of wineries and breweries in the immediate area around Hector that we didn't to drive too far. We are definitely planning on a return trip for the fall of 2017.
Great Rental!
The cottage was great and easily accommodated 7 people. The downstairs was newly renovate which was a nice surprise. Plenty of wineries, restaurants, and other things to do close buy and great views.
Owners were very responsive and helpful. There was a small water issue that they promptly addressed and resolved.
Comfortable lake front cottage!
My friends and I celebrated a bachelorette over the weekend and we were very comfortable here. The house was clean and roomy enough for a group of 11 girls. The downstairs was under construction but the host made the extra bathroom available for us. There was also a fire pit that we hoped to use but unfortunately we were rained out. My only complaint is about the water. It had a very strong sulfur smell that was hard to get out when someone showered or ran the sink water. We resulted to opening windows and lighting a candle. Definitely not a deal breaker for us though. I would consider staying here in the future if we ever plan another trip!
Very cute, unexpectedly under construction
Robyn, the owner, was very prompt and thorough in her communication which definitely is very much appreciated. The cottage is very cute and in good condition. It is tiny on the inside, but the huge covered porch definitely makes up for it. We rented the cottage for some of our wedding guests to stay at, and they really enjoyed the space. A week before our arrival, Robyn sent me an email to inform me that the bottom floor of the cottage would be under construction and not usable. The yard definitely looked like a construction site as well. Thankfully Robyn handled it very well and gave us a bit of a discount. Would definitely rent this again.
Perfect for a Family Vacation
I'm late on my review but wanted to say we had a wonderful time. We had 3 children ages 7-17 staying with us and plenty of room. The back deck is the center of this home and great views of the lake and sunset. We had a fire every night and ample wood was supplied. The kids loved the slide and exploring around the waters edge. We rented a boat a few days and nice to dock while we ate a quick lunch and back on the water. There is a steep stairway to the lakefront, but very doable for most people. The neighbors are great, friendly but not intrusive. We enjoyed the occasional visit from their 4 legged friends. Would recommend.
