Great little place for a couple and furry friend

This old but nicely maintained property was clean and accurately described. It is located in close proximity to grocery, shopping and restaurants downtown and of course to the fantastic wineries and breweries surrounding Seneca Lake.

Victorian home in Geneva

We rented this home for graduation weekend from HWS. The home was clean and the bed was cozy ( we only used one). The only drawbacks were that at the top of the stairs there is no banister for about 3 steps which was very difficult for me. Also there is NO banister going into the basement where the washer/dryer are located. Very close to college and town and 1/2 block from our daughters home she had lived in with her friends! Wishes: banisters, tv upstairs, BBQ grill. The front yard and porch need attention. The house fit our needs for the weekend.

Visit to HWS

My son was visiting HWS. This property is right next to campus. It is exactly as advertised. Communication was easy and the property was very clean ( my favorite ). There was some college kid noise on Saturday night but that added to the flavor of a college visit. Would stay again.

Great place

Great stay, the place is great and comfortable, Karen is a good communicative house. Nice location, walkable. You'll get some student noise on party nights, but nothing that's a big deal.

All's well that ends GREAT! For whatever unknown reason, VRBO didn't process any communication regarding key code, check in info from hosts and then repeatedly said there was a problem on its end when I tried to communicate on the VRBO app. We gave up and returned home, more than an hour away, at 10:00 p.m.All of the incoming messages processed on my desktop and I was able to communicate with our hosts the next morning. They very graciously allowed us to return to the property and extended our stay to compensate for the missed night. Thank you SO much!The house itself was comfortable, well supplied and immaculate. Extra thanks go to the diligent housekeeper. The air conditioners worked very well, the bed we used was very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped.We are disappointed that the house is booked for the Thanksgiving holiday, but that is to be expected in this superior, so reasonably priced property. The proximity to Route 20 was no issue. The white noise from the air conditioner in the front bedroom totally obscured any traffic or arriving student revelry. This house probably wouldn't work as well for a person with mobility or balance issues since the bathroom and bedrooms are on the second floor and the steps are age-typically steep. Thank you for the snacks and coffee supplies, the plentiful linens and the easily operated TV remote. We will be back!

Close to college!

We came to Geneva to attend an open house at HWS. The house was right across the street from the school and close to a variety of restaurants and vineyards. Communcation was great and check in/out was easy.

Geneva

The house is in a great location, close to the Waterfront, and restaurants. We are a 65+ group and we had to take it slow on the stairs, would have appreciated a handrail on the right side on the upper stairs. We loved the character of the old house and a nice neighborhood. We will keep in mind for our next Finger Lakes Vacation.

Great home base for a wedding weekend

We had our wedding in Geneva and this was our home base! It had everything we needed with a spacious living room area where we got ready and comfy beds. Very quick walk to the local coffee shop and convenient to drive to the nearby wineries. Highly recommend!

Cutest house ever! Just what we were looking for.

A small older home that was perfect for my husband and I. Our host Karen had all the basic supplies needed from coffee to spices to 4 trays of ice for cocktails! Mattresses were very comfortable. Bathroom quite small but shower strong and hot. Geneva is a beautiful city on the lake with lots of great restaurants close by. Will definitely return.

Eclipse Get Away

Stayed in Geneva for the solar eclipse. The clouds did not cooperate but we enjoyed the close distance to town and the grocery store. Visiting the local coffee shop was a pleasure. Spending the weekend reminded me of my college days. The owner treated us great! We hope to come back!

Perfect HWS Rental in Geneva NY

Rented the house for college graduation stay of 3 nights. Priced way better than a hotel and got to experience college aged neighbors lives. Walked easily to graduation but house has a parking spot off street. Owner was so kind to let us do a last minute late check out. Clean, old village style house yet modern inside. Walked to downtown so I could have a few drinks. Loved it!!!
