Property has been built recently and modern. On the lake and great views. Beds were comfortable. Only thing I would add is a TV in the main living room, but not necessary since the views from the living room is fantastic.

Thank you for the 5-star rating. We are happy to see that you enjoyed your stay and we hope to host you again soon.
This house is even better than described. I have rented many homes that say they have a fully stocked kitchen, but Lone Retreat means it! Quality - and quantity - of everything you need to enjoy homemade meals during your stay. High-end appliances and coffeemakers, too. The beds are all comfortable; the linens and towels are good quality, too. The house is about 30 minutes from Ithaca and the last 10 minutes of the drive are on a gravel, single lane road that becomes steep at the driveway. The booking said it recommends "all wheel or 4 wheel drive"; we had no problem with our minivan and a small SUV but we made the trip to the house only once a day, preferring to do any errands (groceries, etc) while on our way back from a hike. Driving the road at night is not for the feint of heart.
