湖levelの静かな隠れ家

Thanks for the great review. It was great having you again! I'm glad that you enjoyed the TV.

Thanks for leaving a review. I'm very glad that you enjoyed your stay. Thanks for recognizing the value of this location in an area with so many things to do. As you likely have discovered, there are not many lakeside rentals like this in this area with 100 feet of Lake Frontage, town maintained, paved road and a municipal water supply. Yes, the bathroom is small but is well maintained and the shower and flooring were upgraded last season. I strive to keep the cottage very clean and well maintained. I hope that you will visit again.

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay! Yes, parking is limited and the additional motorcycle that you brought did tighten the parking area. Please don't hesitate to let us know while you are here if you need anything.

I'm happy that you enjoyed your stay. I am glad to report that the maintenance issue has been fully resolved and will not occur again. Thanks for your patience and understanding. Bob

I’m glad that your stay went well. I am surprised about the comment on privacy, previous guests have never expressed this concern. I do live next door to the property but always try to be very respectful of my guests’ privacy during their stay. This property has 100 feet of lake frontage that provides much more privacy than most Seneca Lake rentals.

We are glad that you found our Cottage to be well kept and clean, we strive to keep it spotless for all of our guests. We are sorry that the rest of your stay did not meet your expectations. If you had told us of these issues we would have made every attempt to improve your experience during your stay. If we had known that the overly friendly dog visiting our neighbors was bothering you, we would have addressed this immediately with them. The private family dock on the adjoining property is not part of the rental. The dock is currently under renovation and is not safe for any use at this time, especially swimmers in bare feet that might get a splinter. Beautiful Seneca Lake is a natural lake and we cannot change the condition of the lake bottom, we recommend that guests use lake shoes in the water. You would likely experience the same conditions at any cottage on this lake. If lake swimming is not what you expected, a hotel with an indoor pool might be more appropriate for future stays. Unfortunately, a hotel could not offer the lakeside living experience and the natural beauty that this location offers!

Thank you for your comments and suggestions for our vacation rental. As always we welcome your concerns and comments. Our cottage is well-equipped with dishes, mixing bowls, pans and pots for cooking a variety of meals. We do not supply spices or sugar since it is impossible to anticipate what a guest would need/use and many guests prefer to use those food items that they bring. We hope you found the cottage to be in excellent condition upon your arrival. It is our reasonable expectation that the cottage would be left in the same condition upon your departure. We were disappointed to find the condition that the cottage was left in after your stay, and this was only the second time we have been forced to charge a cleaning fee. All four stove drip pans had burned-on food residue from cooking that boiled over, and the interior of the stove top had food residue under the burners. We also found wet pancake batter that had dripped down the front of the stove into the oven. The damage deposit of $25 was kept to compensate for the extra two hours that was spent returning the kitchen to its previous excellent condition. We did call and discuss this with you and thought that this was a reasonable charge. We do leave a container of cleanser and several sponges in the cottage. If there had been a problem, we wished you would have said something so we could address it at the time. Thank you for your comments - we will add a cutting board to the kitchen.

Kim and Matt, We are glad that you enjoyed your stay at our cottage. Its great that you were able to sample so much of what the local area offers! You are correct that most of the cottages have steps due to the contour of the land around the lake. Many cottages have significantly more steps than our modern, well constructed stairs. Some others are downright challenging. Virtually all of our guests agree that the cottage and lakefront at the bottom of the stairs is worth the trip down! Thanks for staying with us. Bob & Diana
