This was the second time we've stayed at this location; we enjoyed both times. The cottage is clean and comfortable but the kitchen is very small (barely fits 2 people to do meal prep). The location is fine (totally flat; good nearby wineries, fantastic sunsets over the lake)

This is our second time staying at this cottage, and we would happily return again. The access to the water is amazing here, better than any other property at which I have stayed on Seneca Lake. Great outdoor area with fire pit and Adirondack chairs. The cottage itself is comfortable and well equipped. John was great to deal with as well.

Overall we enjoyed our stay. We had a few hiccups but they were taken care of by the property manager. The place is dated and the kitchen is extremely tiny. Also, although it is one level, be aware there is a step up to the bathroom. My mom is limited physically, although one step was fine for her, it was unexpected. The location is amazing and the property is beautiful. Great sunsets as promised.

Had a group of intoxicated male trespassers on the property. Caused us to pack up and leave because we were scared to stay. Property owner didnt think it was a big deal but if it was his wife and daughter dealing with that sure it would be. Need a new cleaning company. Dust and cobwebs all over.

great jumping -off point for exploring the Finger Lakes

as long as you don't mind doing the dishes, this is a great location for a Finger lakes vacation. Old-time cottage feel- nothing too fancy, but immediate access to walking and biking in Sampson State park, as well as being a short drive to both Ithaca and Watkin's Glen.

Great Girls Getaway

Three teachers needed a summer celebration getaway - and this was a great location. The outdoor area was beautiful…. Quite peaceful and exactly as pictured. The cottage allowed all of us our own space as well as space to hang out together which was great! Would come back!

Lakefront property with amazing sunsets.

The cottage was right on the lake and close to everything! The host responded very promptly when I had a question prior to check in. Watching the sunsets on the dock was the best, absolutely gorgeous. If you are looking for a no frills clean cottage, this is your place. We would definitely stay again.

Great Getaway

Had a wonderful time at this easy access, clean & comfortable cottage. Lakeside dock is perfect for watching lake activity. Separate fire pit area was very enjoyable. Very quiet and private location. Saw loons, kingfisher, great blue and many ducks. Can’t wait until we can return again.
