This is a beautiful spot to relax and catch up with friends and family! We enjoyed the pool and beautiful outdoor space. We would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice quiet getaway.
A great location, minutes from Syracuse University
The property was gorgeous and the location was 12 minutes from the university. Gorgeous space, dog friendly, great backyard for the dog to run around. Also, only 5 minutes from a local brewery.
Renters please be aware that the listing on VRBO lists this property as having 4 bedrooms. Upon closer scrutiny of the listing you will find they are counting a pull out couch in the only living room as a bedroom and bed. Its there but you have to read closely and I was under the mistaken impression that we were renting a home with four bedrooms. Also, yes there is one king bed, but the other beds are small... don't believe there is a queen but merely two full beds. The other surprise we received is that the owners are on property. Granted they did not interfere with our visit; but we didn't know they were there when we booked. Separate entrance for them but there was a windowed space that looked out over the patio area that we did not have access to; we didn't know if they were "in there" :-) or not. The house has many pieces of furniture; small and large and things taped to the walls; really there is " stuff" everywhere you look. The backyard and pool area are as pretty as the pictures online indicate. The deck however is peeling badly and deteriorating and needs repairing and refinishing. Wear shoes as bare feet may leave you vulerable to splinters. Also, the property is lined with beautiful trees but the house sits on a very busy road and traffic noise in apparent.

At some point people need to take responsibility for their own mistakes. The description clearly outlines the 3 bedrooms and sofa sleeper in living room. NOT HARD TO READ! You just have to read it lol. Are you looking for issues to complain about? The 3 bedrooms are as described being King, Queen, Full not 2 double beds as you mentioned. What are you talking about things everywhere and taped to the walls? Not sure how to respond to that 🤔. Be sure not to blame someone if you didn’t read the description, it’s not going to change when you get there. You did however get one thing right and the deck needed attention and has been restored right after your stay and that I apologize for. June is a rainy month and need good weather to do these projects. Seams you have a hard time reading rules as you booked 8 and no more than 8 supposed to be on the property at anytime and you decided to have 19 people over for a party. I’d be careful when you point fingers. Some people just need to complain and can’t please everyone. If you don’t read the description of the property don’t blame anyone else but yourself. I’m not going to apologize or write a nice politically correct response to someone whom blames others and writes such a ridiculous review. 3 bedrooms 1 king, 1 QUEEN, 1 double, 2 sofa sleepers.
Michael is a great host who makes sure all your needs are met. He is very responsive and pleasant to work with. The property is beautiful and plenty of space.
Nice host, nice property - we were happy. Be advised the living room is listed on the summary as a bedroom. It's a nice 3 bedroom property w/ a pull out couch in the living room.
Beautiful property with gorgeous views and countryside. Michael is a super host, very attentive and accommodating. Definately worth a revisit. You will not be disappointed.

Robert is an amazing guest. The property was treated with care and he left the place very neat and organized. I would be happy to host again and any host will be lucky to host Robert.
We had a great visit. We were visiting family who live in Cazenovia. It is outside of town, but easy to get many places within 15 mins. Ithace is an hour away. The huge yard was great for the dog. It was hot and the pool was chilly but a relief. There was so much space to visit, play games, inside and out. We were able to enjoy dinners at the table. The coffee bar was a welcome perk. Host was always responsive and accommodating. Would definitely recommend for families.
Check in/out process was smooth. House and property was gorgeous with all the amenities you can imagine. My husband jumped in the pool, in late September! and it was clean and inviting. Felt just like home for the 6 of us.
We booked this trip quickly due to a family funeral, and Michael was outstanding with prompt and professional responses. The property is truly beautiful with mature landscaping and stunning grounds. The owner lives on property which was a surprise but was not a problem at all. The amenities were plentiful, and appreciated. Our family would absolutely return if we were in the area. FYI King David's Restaurant is fairly close and the food fresh and delicious.
We had 4 adults (one couple and 2 singles). Three bedrooms were perfect for us. The master suite is huge, and had its own bathroom. Decor is eclectic, lots of antiques. Location was very quiet, massive back yard perfect for frisbee. Pool was very clean. We didn't have much sun, so the solar heater wasn't able to warm up the pool, but we swam anyway. Owner lives on the property and was able to respond to our needs/requests quickly. Just 10 minutes from town, so easy to get any supplies that we forgot. Rented Kayaks/paddleboards at Cazenovia Lake through Morse Kayak Rentals, very good experience. Ate at the Brewster Inn one night-highly recommend. Its right on the water, food was excellent. Short 5 minute drive to Pratts Falls for a brief 1.5 mile hike to see the waterfalls.

Tracy and her family are excellent guests. Was a joy to host and left the property clean and organized. Any host would be happy to have Tracy as a guest!
To see the 2024 eclipse, celebrate a big birthday and relax and bond with our adult daughters, this was a good place.
The owner is communicative and helpful, and we were a good fit as a family looking to have a pretty relaxed time, as opposed to a party.
The big couches, kitchen table and deck table on the low deck overlooking the big, rolling lawn helped us relax upon arrival. The kitchen cabinetry is extensive, as is the collection of casserole dishes.
We chose Syracuse because we were able to drive there from Massachusetts and our daughters were able to fly there from elsewhere. The airport is an easy 1/2 hr away, with easy car access and smaller planes arriving (about 20-some rows long).
A car is essential at this location. We shopped at the regional CNY indoor winter Saturday Farmers’ Market for produce including local apples, maple syrup and more, and also drove a ways to the Coop store for things like hearty farm bakery bread and tahini. (No membership necessary for Coop stire, but it was handy to have one of us be able to stay with the car as there was very limited parking there on the neighborhood (Kensington?)street.
At the house, we were able to use the TV to display family photos and used the Roku to watch Apple TV, having had a little difficulty accessing Netflix.
A memorable, relaxed stay.

Nannette and family are wonderful guests and invite them to come back anytime. Very polite and respectful along with being very friendly.
The home was clean and ready for us. The owner accommodated our request to open the pool a bit earlier, which we appreciated. The only suggestion/observation about the listing is that there are only 3 bedrooms, not 4. The largest room has 1 King and a pull out couch. The house can sleep 8 people, but 4 people would need to share the larger room. Would stay there again.
The biggest problems with this rental were: - only 3 bedrooms, not 4 as listed! - owner in attached apartment with a (large?) barking and sniffing dog behind locked door- no A/C in master bedroom although house instructions listed that there was one. (The only A/C unit was a mobile one in a corner of the living room.)This is not a whole house, many off-limit areas and locked doors. Limited parking, but we only had one car.Appreciate that it was pet-friendly, but our little dog was scared and had to be kept elsewhere a lot of the time.Premises were generally very clean, but then dirty socks and other stuff were found in closet or dresser.Hosts were timely in communicating, and we appreciated early check-in.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for staying with us. We truly appreciate that you noted our timely communication and the early check-in, and we’re glad you found the home generally very clean.
We’re sorry to hear about the issues that impacted your stay. To clarify a few points from our listing:
• The property is accurately described as having 3 bedrooms plus a queen sleeper sofa in the living room in the property description, which provides flexible sleeping arrangements for up to 8 guests.
• We live in a completely separate area on the north end of the house with its own private entrance. There is no shared living space with guests. The total guest area is approximately 1,700 sq ft.
Regarding your pet: the reservation was booked without a pet and without the pet fee. We were not notified in advance that you would be bringing a dog. When we are aware of an incoming pet, we take steps to separate or relocate our own dogs off-property to avoid any interaction. Unfortunately, since we were unaware, our dogs reacted when your dogs arrived. We (and our dogs) were actually off the property for most of the stay, with only my 85-year-old father present. We’re sorry your dog was anxious and that this added stress to your trip, leaving your dog alone for 8 hours was stressful for your dog as well.
The home has A/C in master suite plus a unit in main area. We provide fans for all bedrooms and apologize if the master bedroom felt warmer than expected.
The only locked door is a small linen closet used for cleaning supplies, secured for safety (especially around young children). We’re sorry this was surprising. We also apologize for the overlooked sock and any other personal items left behind — we do a thorough cleaning between guests but will double-check closets and drawers more carefully going forward.
On parking, the property offers space for up to 6 vehicles, you only had 2 vehicles. We’re glad you only needed 2 spots.
We value all feedback as it helps us improve the guest experience. Thank you again for choosing our home, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again under better circumstances.
Best regards,
Michael & Chompu
This was the perfect place for our family to stay while visiting relatives nearby. It had plenty of room for all six of us to spread out and we were even able to coordinate with Michael for our daughter and son-in-law to stay with us for a night. My only regret is that we didn’t come when the pool was open! Hoping to return and enjoy that sometime during the summer.
When faced with more wedding guests than room for them to sleep, this property was a Godsend! Our family had comfortable accommodations, close to the wedding venue. Thanks so much!
We had a very relaxing experience at Pompey Hills! Property Manager responded quickly and home was beautiful. We enjoyed the peaceful rolling hills with a fire in the fire pit.
My wife and I own a company called CNY commerce. We enjoy hunting for unusual vintage or antique items. You will find many antique items here at Pompey Hills. Fitness and exercise is part of our lifestyle. We also like to buy and sell gym equipment. Mainly we enjoy whatever we can do together.
Why they chose this property
Beautiful home on 2.5 acres of open space surrounded by evergreen trees. Is beautiful all year. The pool adds enjoyment in the summer mounts June 15 - Oct 1 The snow on the evergreens in winter is amazing. There are three ski resorts within 20-45 minutes and several state parks within 5-20 minutes from Pompey Hills
