Great property and house, ideally located to everything in town and a beautiful area of the lake! Book this with confidence that it is what the listing says it is! Communication with the owners/property manager was seamless and they were very responsive.

Great family reunion spot

What a beautiful place to stay with my three sibilings and mom for her birthday! Everything was as described! With great fishing to boot. Good location close to Wegmans and restaurants! We loved our lake tour and on Canadaiqua Lady around the lake !

Bachlorette weekend

Booked this for bachlorette weekend and we felt like the pictures didn’t do it justice! We were so happy with it plus it was in a great location. Right on the water and minutes away from the lake house and Seager marine where we spent some time. House was kept up with and very clean and was easy to access with keypad! Highly recommend!!

Family wedding retreat

Was gorgeous place with plenty of space for 8 of us. Great views and a dock to have a cup of coffee and look over the water. Only downside was bring your own supplies. We have to go buy toilet paper, paper towels and such. But well worth it for the place

Steve, Thank you very much for taking the time to rate us 5/5 stars! We do offer a 100% housekeeping guarantee, that is, if you arrive to one of our rentals and it is not to your standards or if our starter kit is missing than we will send a housekeeper out to the rental to improve the cleanliness and / or drop off your starter kit which includes toilet paper, paper towels, soap, sponge, and detergent. Despite not having the starter kit, we are glad you had a wonderful time with your family and hope to earn your business on your next trip to the Finger Lakes.

Great Location

House is nice. Dated but in such a great location for enjoying the lake that the house is more of an afterthought. Landscaping was completely ignored. Looked like an abandoned house.

Chris, Thank you very much for taking the time to rate your experience at our rental and letting us know that the landscaping had not been done. This was a fluke and is normally well kept, we contacted the landscapers and everything looks much better. We hope to host you again soon!

This house is just beautiful. It has most amazing view of the lake from many rooms. Very clean and well maintained. The kitchen is so well stocked. I was able to make cookies :) The only downside is the limit of 8 people. This house could very comfortably fit 2-3 families.

Picture Perfect!

This was everything we needed and a perfect “staycation!” We live 25 minutes away so being at the north end worked out great. Our 4 grown kids could come and go as need be. It was also close enough to be able to take walks to the pier and visit with the good people at Seager Marine. :) The house was extremely neat with everything you need to cook. Having AC is always a perk and we enjoyed the grill and fire pit. I highly recommend to anyone who lives near or far. Unfortunately we probably will look elsewhere next summer. It was hard for us to leave our small, non-shedding dog. We also would have loved to have a few floats or kayak. The water was too sea-weedy to swim off the dock. Younger kids would be just fine and would have a blast playing in the crystal clear water/walk-in area. It was a great week!
