Weekend get away

The cabin was cute, very small but cute. We knew there was an outdoor shower but did not realize how rough of shape it was in until we arrived. We made it work though. The camp most definitely needs an air conditioner, it was so hot that we slept each night with the door open. The propane bottle for the grill was empty but the owners did not waste anytime bringing one over and setting it up for us. When we arrived back to camp after fishing Lake Ontario all day, we went to start the grill and 6 or so hornets flew out from under the cover of the grill. It seems we may have killed them when we lit the grill. All in all it was a good stay but does need a little TLC

Cozy Home Away from Home

This was such a cute little cabin to stay at while we explored the area and enjoyed being away from the city for the weekend. We stayed the weekend before the Fourth and had such a great night enjoying a fire in the back and watching fireworks in the distance. A really great stay and weekend overall. Thank you so much!!

A perfect little getaway

Comfy and cozy little cabin. The perfect place to get away from the hustle of daily life! Owners were very friendly. We were left sparkling cider and lots of candy! Definitely recommend for a rustic and quiet getaway.

Not recommended

Had no info on a check in or that the place would be unlocked but a key hanging outside. At first it seemed ok just a lot of aerosol spay. Checked the bed, "black sheets", hides dirt and stains. Was full of sand, didnt look soiled like it was slept in, but a lot of sand and lint like was washed after a day at the beach. Black dust on a small window fan showing just how poorly clean this place is on a regular basis. Dust mites and dust webs around the place. Told host about bed, no reply for hours. We couldnt stay and ened up driving another 4 hours toward home. Place is very cute and has potential for what it is, looks like host is trying. Just doesnt realize the level of clean needed for a rental. Disapointed.

Great little getaway spot!

The bed was extremely comfortable, the kitchenette had more than enough space for our purposes, and the view each morning was absolutely stunning. It’s also about 10-15 minutes from one of the best diners I’ve ever had the pleasure of going to- The Grist Mill. Could not ask for more. Only two things - The toilet does not have a lot of pressure, be prepared to plunge any solids. The TV is on it’s last legs- video quality isn’t great. They do have some pretty good DVDs though!

A good place to get away!

The bed was very comfortable. I found the place a little dark, as all the windows are up in the front part by the kitchen. The kitchen worked out really well - had everything i needed! It was cold, damp and windy, and then snowed, so did not spend much time outside. I think I would love sitting in the yard or on the front porch in warmer weather. I liked that Amish buggies drove by and the road was very quiet. Also like that it is relatively close to Lake Ontario (maybe 15 miles) -- took a ride the first day to Oswego and then up to Mexico Point State Park. There are other state parks also along the lake just a bit up from Mexico Point.

You get what you pay for

No kitchen sink, no shower, mold that my dog got into, clogged toilet, and an overall bad smell drove us away from this property. We didn’t even stay longer than it took to clog the toilet and run the fowl smelling water in the bathroom sink which was supplied by a small water tank. My dog sniffed out all the mold right away. I should have read the listing better about the sink/shower. Very bad vibe about the whole thing.
