Four of us stayed at the guest cottage at Olver Farms 9/24-9/27. The property is stunning and well-kept and the cottage was nicely decorated and very clean. The location was perfect for activities we had planned, offering easy access. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was well-equipped. There is no bathroom on the main floor which was a bit of a problem for me as I am nursing a bad knee, but that's on me for not checking in advance. All in all, it was a great place for our annual Fall Finger Lakes getaway! Thank you for a great stay!

Stunning property with lake access and view, comfortable bedding, plenty of space and a peaceful, private beach with firepit. Our family of 3 had a wonderful stay. The owners live onsite and led us borrow some board games. Perfect blend of countryside and comfort. We will be back and thank our hosts for making our stay so wonderful!

Really enjoyed our stay! Met the owners and they were very nice to chat with. My daughter in her Kayak nearly caught brown trout that was around 30". Unfortunately it broke her line as she tried to get it in the Kayak. Varick is the prettiest location along Cayuga Lake. As an older guy with some serios medical issues it would have been nice to a bath/toilet on the first floor as it was difficult to climb the stairs to get to the two full beautiful bathrooms upstairs.

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay, the beautiful Cayuga Lake setting, and had the chance to meet the owners. It sounds like your daughter has quite the fishing story to tell! We appreciate your feedback regarding the home's layout and understand that a first-floor bathroom would be beneficial for some guests. Thank you for choosing Finger Lakes Premier Properties, and we hope to welcome you back again soon!

Clean home, beautiful property

We enjoyed our late August stay in the Finger Lakes Region. The location was great for visiting Watkins Glen State Park, Ithaca, and Corning. The property is beautiful overlooking the lake. Lots of places to sit outside. The home was exceptionally clean and beautifully decorated, the beds were comfortable, and it had everything we needed.

Great Fall weekend

My wife and I enjoyed a weekend trip in the Finger Lakes. The guest house was perfect for our late fall trip. Very convenient to popular wineries and not to far to Ithaca, Watkins Glen and Geneva. The guest house was very clean and updated with all modern conveniences. The property was very quiet and we hope to make many more trips here in the future.

Complete and total relaxation

Wonderful property! Completely updated and well appointed. Beautiful property (cherry trees, quiet meadow, grassy fields, yet right across the street from Cayuga Lake with private beach access). Owners are the friendliest, sweetest people and live on property, but across the street so never felt any intrusion. Attention paid to every detail inside and outside. Highly recommend this property.

Cool and comfy in the Finger Lakes

This home is clean and very comfortable and well stocked with everything we needed. Beautiful grounds. Traffic on road is pretty risky for walking to wineries, at least for us ladies. Be aware that the attached house creates some noise. (T.V and talking). Overall we had a great time.
