Rustic lake cottage
My family of 9 loved the quirkiness of the place. The kitchen was very well equipped and the overall vibe was very relaxing. My only complaint would be that a lot of the doors did not latch properly. We would stay again though.

Great rustic cabin in a perfect location (No central Heat or AC)
Nice cabin made out of rough cut lumber makes a nice family retreat. Love the building and location that appears to have been built by the owner. Plenty of room for 8 of us with beds with linens and room to spread out. It's on a small cliff side on the lake with a beautiful deck, stairs down to the water, and a dock on the water. I can't believe some old reviews criticize the amount of stairs? It's on a cliff side, what do they want ladders? Crazy. The stairs are very sturdy with a nice hand rail all the way down.It seems the bathroom, shower and kitchen were recently renovated with a tile shower, cabinets, counters etc... some older reviews talk about the poor shower etc... it's no longer true.Be aware it has no central heat or air, IMO it should say that at the top of the description. It was in the high 40's when we arrived and cold in the cabin. After looking everywhere for a thermostat I finally realized there was not one and found space heaters in the closets and it took a bit to warm it up. It does say in one little spot in the description it's "seasonal", and when I contacted the property manager about the lack of heat that's what she said, but is not at all clear in the description, and it does not say what "seasonal" means, I didn't think it meant no heat, to me that means only rentable in certain seasons? It should clearly say no central heat or AC. Oddly the outside doors are only held shut by cheap slide bolts that don't work right. Buy dead bolts please!

Beautiful location
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Loved the place. The bunk house had loads of cobwebs though and doesn't look like it has been used in a while so no one in our group wanted to use it.
I just have an overall issue with the increased prices of VRBO's with the added fees. There is a company that managed this property and then VRBO's fees on top of that made it expensive. VRBO properties used to be comparable to nice hotels but now they are well above that. Hope that can change because we love staying in houses as opposed to hotels.

A bit rustic, but fun!
Pros: lake front, fun, holds a large family, eating on the porch was relaxing, location, hot tub
Cons: could use a deep clean: items in kitchen cabinets a bit grimy, musty smell lower level, come prepared with drinking water
Overall, we had a great time. Thank you!

Very Nice Venue
This is a very nice location. The place was neat and well maintained. The biggest pluses are very private and secluded location, plenty of beds, modern appliances, amazing sunsets, quiet lake area, vineyards, brewers and distilleries are minutes away, restaurants minutes aways and Watkins Glen is maybe 10 minutes away. The only minuses are: 64 Steps from the house to the dock, critters and bugs, some mud if it rains hard, tight turns to get in, no central AC and no boat launch within a few miles. This place is in the woods up on a bluff. If you have mobility issues it may not be for you. When you're in the woods you can expect creepy crawlers and creepy critters...if you can't deal with that there's plenty of hotels just down the road in Watkins Glen. That said; if you want a quiet, private, romantic and beautiful venue for a few days this place is excellent. 9 out of 10 IMHO

Relaxing Stay But Could Have Used Cleaning
The property was perfectly situated on Seneca Lake and access to the house was uncomplicated. While we enjoyed our time there, the bathroom, and in particular the shower, seemed as if it hadn't been cleaned in a very long time. Obvious cleaning tasks such as removing the last inhabitant's ball of hair from the drain weren't done. The outdoor shower ended up more preferable.
While I fully understand this cabin is smack in the middle of the woods, there were a sizeable amount of well-established and old cobwebs in every room and a few sightings of cockroaches in the morning in the kitchen. Outside of these problems that seem easily remedied for someone else in the future, we loved the property.

Great waterfront retreat
Pros:
1. great spot on the lake.
2. nice large private dock (kayaks included)
3. upper deck has a tranquil, treehouse feeling
4. large, private wooded lot
5. house is large but still has a quaint cabin charm and nicely updated kitchen and bathroom.
6. dog friendly
7. good proximity to Watkins and several breweries / wineries.
Cons:
1. The house can sleep 9 but only bathe 1. Wasn't a problem for me, but larger groups would have trouble.
2. The water pressure is a known issue at times. The book says to call someone or fix yourself if this happens. It's only a problem in the shower, but I didn't bother calling about it. For the extra $100 fee they charge when booking I would've thought they'd fix it before I got there.
3. Could use some lighting in the foyer.
4. No A/C. Just fans. Fine with me, but might bother some.
note: if walking to nearby breweries / wineries, realize that the road the cabin is on is VERY steep. The walk will take a little longer than expected. Also, once on the main road, cars drive fast (50+mph). It's like walking on the shoulder of a small highway. We did it once and opted to drive the other days.

The cabin was cute and comfortable. Everything was as expected. Unfortunately, there were large cockroaches all over the house. Some pest mantinence is definitely needed.

Girls weekend
We had a great time in the cabin. The only “issues” we had were the bugs that got into the house but most of us were okay killing them and moving on. The stairs down to the lake were a trek but worth it. We stayed in mid September and nights were quite cold or hot. Pack for both. If you’re looking for a rustic stay this is a great spot.

Girl’s Trip
My friends and I stayed here this past weekend and overall we had a great time! I was a little surprised because it lists 2 bathrooms so I assumed 2 full baths. The main bathroom and beautiful but the second is just a utility room with a toilet and it was kind of dirty, spider webs and dead bugs. The outdoor shower was nice. The cabin is very rustic! No insulation, a/c or heat. There seemed to be a lot of spiders but that’s what you get with a cabin in the woods so it didn’t really bother us. Hot tub was clean and nice. The dock area and absolutely beautiful! There was 1 step that was loose but other than that they felt safe and sturdy. They give you 2 kayaks to use and tons of other equipment to use, which is great. The kitchen was great, very clean and well equipped. Overall we had a great weekend and would probably come back.

Great location with a beautiful view
A beautiful getaway vacation with our family for a few days. The house is tucked away in the middle of the woods, yet opens up to a beautiful view of Seneca Lake. Upon arrival we found a very clean kitchen and bathrooms, with all the amenities that we needed. We love to cook and were surprised at the fully equipped kitchen to meet our needs. Plenty of space for the 8 of us to be comfortable. Best part of the evenings - building a fire literally 2 feet from the water's edge in the fire pit. We brought our own wood, but did notice a few piles of split wood throughout the property. Please keep in mind - this is a rustic house in the middle of the woods. You can expect to find an occasional spider or bug throughout. It's part of living in the woods which our family is used to; however, might not be for everyone. Also, for planning purposes, you'll want to bring your own drinking water, as there is a recommendation in the information folder to not drink the water. And according to my youngest daughter, it's 68 steps down to the dock and the water. We got a fantastic leg workout during the week! It was a unanimous family vote to return here next year.

Great Location!
This place was located right by the water and so close to town. Proximity to wineries and breweries was great as well. Although if you don’t like bugs or have bad allergies to mold this may not be the place for you. The cabin was well stocked with anything you may need for lake fun.

Great location
Beautiful location! Sunsets were amazing. You are right above the water and in a heavily wooded area. My niece informed me it is 67 steps to go to the water. This cabin is a slight step above tent camping. Everything was clean but it is old. Very Buggy, Screens on windows need replacing and screen door is our of square. No screen door on the door at all so the bugs come in from everywhere. Couches and mattresses have seen better days but linen was clean. We took air mattresses just in case and used them. No A/C but a ton of fans everywhere. Very hot in there during the day and cold late at night. We had a blast but we didn't spend much time in the cabin. We were in the lake or out hiking most the time. We will definitely go back to the area again but not stay here again. I would prefer somewhere more updated. All the people we ran in to were incredibly nice and I can not wait to return to this region next summer.

Mixed feelings about lodging
Property manager declined to answer questions about kitchen supplies, sleeping cabin distance, and water, which was frustrating since we needed safe drinking water as there were children, someone who was pregnant, and a senior in our group. We were particularly disappointed to find out that safe drinking water would not be provided, though pictures of the cabin show the water/dispenser. Unfortunately for us, we arrived during a heat wave, so even with fans we were hot and particularly uncomfortable trying to sleep on 100% polyester sheets. We used fold out sofa in living room instead of the sleeping cabin (just 10 steps from the house via deck walkway, with trundle downstairs and 2 air mattresses in loft), because the door doesn't lock. Also, most of the doors interior/exterior the cabin don't have knobs or latches. When we arrived the lower exterior door was wide open, and it didn't stay closed well, even with a lock. We also learned upon arrival that the bottom of the lake is covered with small mussels that crush and cut your feet when you walk on them. Would have liked to know this in advance, and would have brought our own water shoes. Bins of old water shoes were available for use. Positives - kitchen was really well stocked with all supplies you'd need for cooking including a food processor, drip coffee machine/grinder, and hand mixer. The lake is beautiful! We had a great time on the water and exploring the area. Watkins Glen hike is fantastic.

beautiful spot
We love everything about this place and hope to be back! I only gave the property manager a poor rating b/c I tried to reach her before we left with a question about whether or not the property had electric fans. No response. I was able to reach her on the day we checked out with a question about garbage.

Great Location But Beware Of The Cabin's Water
Fantastic location and dock. We could not drink the water: we discovered that the water is directly from the lake with only a sediment filter. One of my daughters became very sick from drinking the water the first night. As long as you bring you own water the cabin is lovely, but rustic.

Great Family Vacation Rental
Great Family Vacation spot. Easy ten min. drive to Watkins Glen for shopping and restaurants. Updated kitchen and bathroom. Keep in mind the driveway to the property is steep. Also keep in mind the stairway to the lakefront is steep but once down there the large dock is great with plenty of space. Hot tub and Kayaks were a great added bonus as well. Was slightly disappointed that there was not a firepit as stayed in amenities. Only complaint would be new mattresses are needed for all beds. All other accommodations were great!!!
