Lots of fish in lake. Very relaxing. Heating and ac were excellent. If you love riding around in rural historic areas marveling about southern NY was 125 years ago you will be fascinated with the architecture and old churches.

Clean, recently renovated, well stocked property. There's a good size grocery store near by. It has a very "not a soul for miles" feel while still having access. Barely technically neighbors on one side - you have to actually go out on the water to even see their property. There's a decent sized town 30 minutes away if you really need something like Target. Lots to see and do in the area. Verizon phones got service (we've had issues in the region). The hosts were very responsive to messages and otherwise invisible. We would definitely go back.

This was an incredible place to stay. We met my dad here who has mobility issues; we have two small kids. The setup couldn’t have been better – upstairs was roomy and the half bath was clutch, and downstairs has the full bathroom. Such smart planning in their renovation. All improvements set this up for guests so well and the amenities made it extra special. Every possible kitchen or household item was there – we kept calling it the “Room of Requirement!” For example, our kids don’t need a pack n’ play anymore, but there was one in each closet upstairs, which is just such a thoughtful touch that means so much to young families. The pillows and beds were so comfortable, and the guidebook from the hosts made everything feel accessible. Last, but not least, the pond and the boats (the pedal boat in particular) were our absolute favorite parts. We hope to make this an annual trip!

My friends and I had a wonderful experience with this rental. The description in the VRBO ad is accurate. My friends stated that they might rent this place on their own for a family vacation in the future.

This was our first time staying at a VRBO, and it exceeded our expectations! The home was spotless and incredibly well cared for. We really appreciated all the thoughtful little touches that made us feel right at home, like the K-Cups, creamer, bottled water, and a fully stocked kitchen with every cooking tool we could possibly need. We also enjoyed using the gas grill, which looked brand new and made cooking outside easy. The entire house is well air conditioned too! Alan and Fran were wonderful hosts—friendly, responsive, and clearly committed to making sure their guests had a great experience. They even responded quickly when we reached out near the end of our stay while trying to find one last item in the fun scavenger hunt they provided. It’s those extra touches that made our stay so memorable.We had a fantastic experience and would absolutely recommend this property to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped place to stay. We would happily stay here again!

We loved our stay at the Getaway Chalet! The screen room on the deck with a view of the water, the cozy fireplace in the living room, and, best of all, catching fish after fish after fish! We even had a couple of deer visit us. Everything at the chalet was top-notch. We hope to return soon.
