The location and scenery were wonderful, however, the cottage was old and weathered. The pictures were deceiving. There is no whole house air. Window units in the bedrooms and front addition only. Rest of house was too hot. Kitchen is so narrow, only one person can fit. The algae growth was so bad at the shoreline, we couldn’t use the kayaks. There was no ladder off the dock to assist you. For the price, it just wasn’t what we expected. It was an easy check-in and communication to hosts was good.

Thank you for your review. We are glad you enjoyed the beautiful location, smooth check-in, and our communication during your stay. We appreciate your feedback regarding the cottage layout, AC setup, and dock accessibility. As a traditional lakefront property, we always strive to describe our space accurately, but we will use your comments to see where we can make updates or clarify our listing details further. Seasonal shoreline algae can be a challenge in the summer, but we want every guest to have a great experience and will look into adding a dock ladder.

Excellent all-around. The cottage was super-clean, in a quiet neighborhood, beautiful grassy yard to the lake, and had everything we needed. Upstairs master bedroom overlooking the lake was amazing.We had some last minute changes that came up and the owners were extremely accommodating and helpful. Highly recommended - would stay again!

A lovely fall weekend

Our group of 4 retired school nurses spent a happy 2 nights here. The cottage is nicely decorated and has everything needed. We enjoyed looking out on the water from the Adirondack chairs and visiting Hammondsport, Penn Yan and other local places. Would rent again :)

Beautiful getaway

This lovely home was perfect for us as we spent time together exploring the beautiful fingerlakes area. My husband and I appreciated the cozy 1st floor bedroom, and our daughter enjoyed the 2nd floor bedroom with bathroom and cute little balcony. The firepit was accessible by a short walk down a slight slope to the waters edge, and the sunsets were amazing. We loved staying here, thanks for sharing it with us!

Awesome views of the lake.

Unfortunately my wife and I were at different stages of a nasty cold therefore our usual round of wine tastings were put off. The cottage was the perfect spot to sit back and relax while recovering (hopefully ). We did manage to eat at a couple of our favorite restaurants in Hammondsport and Watkins Glen.

Are you looking for a peaceful, retreat to unwind? This is it! The gorgeous view of Waneta Lake over morning coffee and evening sunsets were beautiful! The location was perfect because you were close to both Keuka & Seneca Lakes for wine enthusiasts! The house was cozy and had all the comforts of home. Looking forward to coming back!

Cheryl’s cottage is charming with gorgeous views of the lake! Everything inside is just as charming. Sitting by the fire and watching the picture perfect sunset will be a great memory.

Very nice!

The place is just as pictured, very nice place! The view from the balcony was great. Sitting by the water was so peaceful. Being early in the season, hardly any neighbors were around, so it was very quiet.The sunsets were beautiful.Bed was very comfortable.Watkins Glen, Corning and Penn Yan were all easy to get to. And Hammondsport was just a short drive away.Communication with Cheryl was great couldn’t ask for better. She answered all the questions we had.It was the perfect on-the-water getaway for us!

I would not book it again.

The only thing that I would change its the fact that you will be asked to hand wash, dry and place all dishes in the cabinets, it might just feel a lot if you stay more days. Bring disposables.
