Relaxing lake getaway

We had a lovely stay during Easter Week with our family. It was a quick 40 minute trip to visit our oldest at Syracuse University and gave her a relaxing break from school. The house was pristine, checkin and communication with To y was seamless. The house felt like home away from home. The views of the lake were gorgeous- we caught some stunning sunsets! My son was able to fish off the dock and all of us had our own comfy room. We enjoyed an afternoon in Skaneateles and To y’s recommendation for food and things to do were spot on. We would love to return in the summer or fall.

Celebrating 60

The finger lakes are our families favorite place to visit, so when deciding how to celebrate my 60th birthday, the decision was easy. I have rented the house in the past and it is one of my favorite homes to stay in. It is comfortable, clean and is in the perfect location! Looking forward to returning!

We had a wonderful family get together. Even on a rainy day, there were plenty of spaces to accommodate a variety of activities for both adults and toddlers. Our local hosts, Tony and Joette, went out of their way to make this a memorable stay. We appreciated the cleanliness of the place and the quality of the beds, towels, and appliances.

Beautiful and Well Appointed Home

This might have been the best appointed VRBO we have ever stayed in. The beds, linens and towels were lovely. The home was wonderfully stocked with things that you just might need. A little gift basket at the door was a sweet and welcome surprise. There was plenty of room for everyone - in both the bedrooms (8 people) and in the main living space. The decks are truly spectacular. We loved this home a lot and have already booked our friends trip again for next fall!
