A little slice of Finger Lakes heaven!
We had a wonderful, relaxing week! The location is beautiful! Gail and Frank were wonderful hosts, very kind, attentive and helpful. We had some rain while we were there, and they were so thoughtful, offering us passes for a local museum. We didn't wind up using the passes though, as we were happy to sit on the beautiful porch and read and enjoy the rain (and a beautiful complete rainbow that appeared afterward)! The kids loved swimming in the lake and really enjoyed the floating dock. We will definitely plan on returning to this location! If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing, beautiful getaway, this the place for you!

Perfect!
What a perfect location for graduation weekend festivities. We were able to bring our boat so our graduate and his friends could enjoy the lake and family/friends could relax on the porch or dock. Plenty of space to spread out, wonderful set up in kitchen for cooking, serving meals, etc. The place was spotless and Frank and Gail were delightful hosts.

relaxing and fun
We had an enjoyable and relaxing week even though it was during a significant rain storm. It is quiet and has a private feeling. The owners are next door and are happy to provide help when needed. We enjoyed the lake: swimming, fishing, kayaking and just relaxing and visiting with the nice view. The nearby rail trail provides for biking and waking. There is a beautiful waterfall a few miles away.

Fantastic Lake Cottage
There's not much to add to the great reviews others have left, which we found to be accurate. My wife, two teenage boys, and I stayed here for nearly a month this summer to get away from the city during the pandemic. It turned out to be exactly what we needed. The wi-fi was sufficient for working remotely (including video), and the location and tranquil beauty of the grounds and the lake would be hard to beat. In addition to the great porch, lawn, and dock, we found the location right near the black diamond trail to be a boon. The kids and I rode bikes there as often as we could, and my wife walked to Ithaca every day down the trail to Cass Park, and then downtown. And the lake activities, with two kayaks and two paddle boards available, kept us occupied as well. The owners, as others have mentioned, live next door and are always attentive and quick to respond to any issue that could arise - they were splendid hosts. All in all, a fantastic location and a fantastic trip!

The perfect retreat during the pandemic.... and, anytime!
Gail, Frank and Rocky have created a tranquil, beautiful setting with their house on the lake. Perfectly situated, a lawn runs to water’s edge, giving lovely space to play or sit before and after a swim. From the front porch, we began each morning watching the sun rise in the sky, gently transitioning us into the day.The house itself embraces. Our family felt at home and fully at ease, not only because it offered everything we needed but because of the owners’ generously of spirit. Should the opportunity arise again, there is no question but that we would like to return. It was a dream!
