This property was new and of excellent architect design. The construction of the property seemed excellent. In addition, the cookware and utensils were certainly above what we often see in vacation rentals. An excellent choice for us.

Very little seating for comfort inside the house. Hot tub panel was malfunctioning and a lot of debris in the water. Otherwise the home and gorgeous, beautiful location and view. The host was prompt and responsive to all questions. Would go back!

Beautiful location, very private, only one neighbor, clean, everything was as described. The driveway is pretty steep as mentioned in their description. Definitely would not appempt going down it without 4wd or Awd. Would stay there again.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed the peaceful, private setting and found everything as described. We appreciate your note about the steep driveway — it’s always best to use 4WD or AWD, especially on our lakefront hillsides. We're thrilled to hear you'd stay with us again and hope to welcome you back for another relaxing Finger Lakes getaway soon!

Beautiful property, views were amazing! Kitchen had everything we needed. Living room furniture was not good for relaxing. After a day out and about would be good to have somewhere to relax and curl up to read or just watch the changing sunset.

Taking a break

Nice place to stay for a wine tasting trip. The whirlpool control panel is about to fail, was difficult to turn on and off.

Black Diamond is a Gem !

Up for long weekend for 2024 Eclipse - cloudy skies were briefly disappointing, but stay at Black Diamond was bright ! Clean, comfortable, peaceful for our party of four (wife & I, daughter, granddaughter). Enjoyed the quiet, family time ! There is no TV, great to get away from it, played board & card games, did crafts with granddaughter. High-speed internet 100% reliable, did stream to get sports updates ! Deck is great spot to view lake, cook on the outdoor grill, soak in hot tub. Lake still too cold to enjoy a dip or the kayaks provided with the house. Large garage accommodated parking SUV inside. Drive through Caywood Vineyards will look even better when grapes come-in !

Lovely Stay, some Lil extras would be nice

Property overall is great! Clean, taken care of inside, beautiful spot + lakefront. We really enjoyed ourselves and would recommend. That being said we do feel at the price point a bit more should have been provided. Their was no extra linens aor blankets at all. We were quite cold the one night. The pillows were one per person with a metal headboard. We felt like the downstairs "living room" seating was not optimal for just relaxing and hanging out. It isn't loungeworthy(it's auestheic only) and as a group of friends we wound up having to play board games in our bed lol. Our butts just needed some comfy seats after hiking! MMore than 2 kayaks would have also been nice considering it's a larger home with more than 2 people staying most often. We got 1.5 rolls of toilet paper for 4 days and 4 people. So we had to grab more. It just felt overall very bare minimum for the price point BUT still a nice place.

Beautiful new house but bring a lot of filtered water.

The house is new and beautiful, nicely furnished and kitchen is well stocked with the exception of a Keurig. There is a coffee pot but lids provided do not fit so you can’t make coffee. We enjoyed using the provided kayaks. The large deck is perfect for relaxing after a hike or kayaking. We also enjoyed the hot tub. There is one major issue to keep in mind. The water is drawn from the lake and has an extremely strong sulfur smell. When someone is showering the smell permeates the entire house. Though it may be safe to drink the smell is revolting so make sure to bring a significant amount of bottled water. We took note that none of the wineries, breweries or restaurants seems to have the same issue when we used their bathrooms. There must be a way to filter the water. The house is otherwise wonderful and we would stay there again but with plenty of filtered water.
