Great, sprawling cabin! Beautiful lake views (and sounds) from balcony. Sam was prompt and efficient when called with propane issue had a great time. Might have to make another trip in the summer to take advantage of lake amenities.

Great get away

We had a wonderful stay in this large, comfortable, rustic cottage. We had everything we needed in the kitchen and the beds were very comfortable. Our favorite spot was on the porch overlooking the lake --- and the kayaks and paddle boards were great fun. Thank you!

Rustic, nice to be by the water

Reviewing this site is somewhat difficult. Although the lodging it's self was satisfactory, the host and maintenance crew was very helpful and responsive with our concerns. We loved being right by the water and being able to paddle board/ kayak was wonderful. The 3 main bedrooms were comfortable. The bunk bed room with twin and trundle was perfect for kids but the bunk would never fit an adult comfortably ( Just and FYI) The area is lovely. Being close to the falls and Ithaca was great.

Perfect experience!

Our family had an absolutely incredible stay on the property! Amazing lake views, very peaceful and spacious. We grilled right on the porch and had a campfire after awesome days swimming and boating. All of our kids had to be pulled out of the water and slept well after hours playing on the complementary kayaks and paddle boards and swim mats. After they conked out, the adults hung out on the long porch listening to the waves on the beach below and drinking wine from our Cayuga Wine trail adventures. The hosts were fantastic and gave us great recommendations! Wonderful communication before our arrival and during our stay. We recommend Flying Pig near by along Route 89 for delicious baked goods and there are tons of restaurant choices in nearby Trumansburg. There is so much to do in the area, and we've only scratched the surface! We'll definitely be back soon!!

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Sorry, but the negative items rate top billing. The property was rustic, but our first sight of it was of the filthy garbage dump that was overrunning with garbage our entire trip. Not surprisingly, we were visited by at least one mouse on four or five occasions in the kitchen area. There were multiple holes in the floor and gaps in the paneling, through which vermin could have easily gained access. We were promised two bathrooms, but when we arrived and inquired, we were told that the second bathroom "hadn't been finished yet". In addition, the porch was draped with cobwebs. There was a sunken fireplace in the living room that was a terrible tripping hazard, over which i tripped, fell and painfully dinged a toe. It was a wonder i was not seriously injured. On the positive side, the newly added bedrooms were reasonably comfortable and had wonderful views. That's about it for the positive. We feel we should be credited at lest $50.00 per day.

So fun and comfortable!

Only thing that would have made our stay even better was instructions on how to use the TV equipment to get local channels. We had a rainy Sunday and would have been great to get the football games on TV

Rustic in appearance but totally modern in every other way

It was very relaxing, far away from the madding crowd, but close enough to Trumansburg and Ithaca to give easy access to the pleasures of civilization

Great Relaxing Spot

Right on the water. Loved sitting on the porch and watching the lake, sipping wine, eating. We used the BBQ every night. Lived going to the dock every morning for sunrise. Very nice place.

Amazing escape

We loved this cabin in the Finger Lakes. The location was perfect within close proximity to amazing hikes. We loved the lake access, the kayak availability, the fire pit. Jordan even built a fire for us. We also really appreciated the ample supplies. It made the week stress free. Highly recommend!!!
