Nice place

Very nice place. Could use some updating inside, but that is all part of the charm. The Sunrise from the dock is quite beautiful.

Treehouse celebration

This beautiful property was perfect for our family to gather and celebrate a Cornell Law School convocation. Sitting on the dock or one of the decks for morning coffee was the best way to start each day.

Christmas family gathering

We had a family gathering for Christmas at the treehouse, which meant we did quite a big cooking and hanging out together. The Treehouse was just perfect and had such a lovely view. Thanks!

What a gem!

We loved this lakefront home! Six 50+ adults stayed from Sept 13-17, 2023. The property is very private with a lakefront dock and boat canoe/kayak/sailboat launch. The website description is accurate. We went to Watkins Glenn, Buttermilk Falls, Kayaking (Chemung River), horseback riding (Painted Bar), and Ithica Brewery. Fire-pit on the beach at night. Had some great dinners at local restaurants within 5-10 minutes drive (Boatyard Grill, Mia, Moosewood, Maxie's Supper Club). The host was very responsive to any questions. We did not encounter any issues during our stay. Highly recommend!!!

Beautiful home & wonderful location! Inside Needs DEEP cleaned!

We loved the location and the story/age of the home makes a person feel warm & happy! SO MUCH TO LOVE about this property but the last thing anyone wants to see while on vacation is large amounts black & pink slimy mold in the shower. Sinks need scrubbed etc.... Kitchen windows look up a beautiful hillside but are so dirty it was hard to see out. Simply put lack of maintenance & repairs inside dropped our rating lower. If this home was cleaned properly we would have easily it a 5 out of 5!
