Great Stay

Everything was fantastic from booking, to checking in, to the stay, and departing...we could not have asked for more. If we bring friends up again to wine country, we will definitly look to stay in this house again. Great location to downtown restaurants and the waterfront.

Great Geneva stay

We loved our stay here. We were close to everything and were even able to walk to dinner (in the colder winter temps) so no one had to worry about having a cocktail and then driving. Will definitely stay again.

Great Downtown Property!

We were in town for a wedding at the Cracker Factory and this was ideally located for that! We had easy access to some downtown shops with a nice relaxing house to stay at. The kitchen was a delight and the bedrooms could have slept a lot more that we had. I would definitely rent this again!

This home was perfect for our stay. It is close to everything so walking is the way to go. The home is clean and welcoming. Great front porch for people-watching and cute back patio, too. We really enjoyed our stay and are already considering a return visit!

Vibrant vibe

The Gem had all accommodations needed. We stayed 3 nights while vacationing. Enjoyed the fun atmosphere of the home, plenty of room. Gas station next store had late night noise, but not bad. Easy walking downtown. 2 big beds were comfortable, 2 smaller mattresses a little thin. Would recommend to friends.

AMAZING experience

We absolutely loved "The Gem." The three of us stayed overnight during a trip to the Finger Lakes. It was beautifully decorated, clean and included all the appropriate amenities. Communication with the host was very good. She was helpful and responsive. It was easy to get in with the key code and very easy to find. I cannot recommend her and this house enough. What a great experience. I will be staying here again. Thank you, thank you!

Just what we needed

We came to see HWS at the end of several days away from home on a college tour with 3 friends. This was just right with space for everyone to separate and relax. Very clean and spacious. Only suggestions are room darkening shades in bedroom (esp king) bc lights from gas station next door are bright. It was noisier than I expected but a white noise app helped immensely. Very clean, had all we needed! Driveway parking a definite plus. Thank you!

Unique home for a stay at Finger Lakes

This was a very fun and unique home. We are a fan of older homes and loved the funky decor and exposed brick. We had concerns about it having only window air conditioners (it was very hot) and it being located right next to a gas station but everyone slept fine and the running window air hid any noise that might have been happening. Not sure how that might be during other times of the year. My only suggestion for the owners would be to add a few more bowls to the kitchen supplies. After 2 people ate we had to wash the bowls so the other 2 could eat. We did find a 3rd bowl the next day but I think guests would appreciate a few more. We really liked the variety and selection of glasses though. Clearly a place by a college is used more to drink at than eat at but a balance of both would be good.

About the host

Hosted by Alecia Stephenson

Host profile image
We have been hosting for sometime now and absolutely LOVE IT!!! I grew up in the hospitality industry and enjoy every bit of what the Finger Lakes has to offer. We have multiple locations close to the various lakes, each with its own unique touch. I’m originally from the Caribbean so I have incorporated a little to each property. Kevin has a passion for traveling, wine and craft beer so a little of that is also added in each property. We hope you enjoy and explore them all. ❤️ FLX

Why they chose this property

This property is in the heart of the city, steps away from the Lake(It’s amazing sunrise) and night life of what the city has to offer, tons of amazing Wineries, Restaurants, City Events & Lake Views.
