Beautiful spot on the lake! Everything was very nice except for the overwhelming musty smell in the house. We all noticed it we got home too, because the smell laid in our clothing and belongings.

The home was beautiful. Bedrooms (we used 2) were comfortable. The Kitchen was well stocked with dinnerware and cooking facilities.There are 2 things that could help. I do not live in a community that recycle and was unsure what should be recycled. We did our best. A sheet describing what is considered recyclable in the area would be helpful 2nd there is a Sony dvd player but no remote control. Very minor issues. All 4 of us loved it. The sunrises were awe inspiring.Just a fabulous time and location

Great location, but needs to be cleaned better.

The property itself was as advertized. Great location! Very nice inside. Comfy beds. The house was very dirty when we entered. We had to clean it before unpacking. Dirty showers, floors, mirrors, fixtures. We have rented many homes from VRBO and this was by far the dirtest place we have ever rented.

Beautiful home!

We really enjoyed our long weekend. This home is especially ideal for 2 couples as was our case! The views from the moment you walk in are just beautiful!! Definitely no limos, the street down to house was tight. Would recommend lounge chairs to sun on the big deck. Also, would have like to have some cable / local TV for downtime. The home itself is very comfortable and the pictures are right on!

Loved it.

We came for a girls weekend and we loved the space and the lake so much. The house was very clean and well decorated. The only minor issue was finding transportation to town, Ubers we virtually non existent and there’s only one cab company we were able to get to answer on occassion.

Beautiful, quiet, great location

This was one of the cleanest properties I've stayed at if not spotless. The linens/pillowcases/towels were clean and wrapped in plastic per person/bed. This Vrbo is 10-15 mins from the Wegmans supermarket in Geneva for groceries and close to great restaurants like Ports Cafe and wineries. My family had a great time seeing the waterfall at Watkins Glen and taking advantage of the free kayaks to explore the lake. While there is a train track behind the property, I didn't hear it at night, and I think the earliest train was after 8am and only once a couple of hours. So it wasn't that noticeable.

Overall Good Experience

Overall the property was great. The GPS did take us to the wrong location but property manager was available and helpful. Once we found it, it was a great location and all common areas were clean. The bedrooms however were not that clean. Multiple kinds of hairs all over comforters and mattress covers. Would just recommend bringing own pillows and blankets.

Great Family Vacation

We had an amazing week of fishing, boating, swimming, and relaxing on the lake. The kids swam off the dock and enjoyed the kayaks and paddle board provided by the house. They also enjoyed the cute swing/seat under the deck! The lake views from the house and deck were incredible! We ate dinner out on the deck most nights, making good use of the deck furniture and grill. The house was clean and beautiful, exactly as pictured! We had a fabulous week!
