Fabulous Girls B-Day Weekend!!!
We had a wonderful stay- this house is just as described- with a beautiful lake front- ample sitting inside and out to enjoy the lake view. House was clean, and very well stocked. Didn’t need to bring anything but food and drinks!! If you’re planning a Finger Lakes getaway- this place is perfect!!!

I grew up spending time in the Finger Lakes Region. It is the perfect spot for a relaxing get way with plenty new things to experience. My husband and I are always busy making the property better. We love the place on the lake and we love to share the experience with others!

Why they chose this property

Finger Lakes, amazing sunsets, bon fires, quiet walks, marina and pub down the street, wineries short drive, Aurora, Montezuma, what else could we ask for?

What makes this property unique

This house is dear to our hearts. It is in a perfect location to view amazing sunsets, right on the water, on a dead end street for quiet time but near a marina, the Village of Union Springs and multiple wineries for some fun. We want you to feel at home in our house so you are welcome to use all the staples and condiments in the full kitchen as well as shampoo and soap in the bathroom. You are welcome to use what you need but please leave what you don't use for the next guests that come.
