Girls getaway

This trip was planned as a girls getaway to surprise our daughter (who has three sons) coming up from Florida for a long weekend. We had such a fun time we decided to make it a yearly tradition. The house held all 8 of us comfortably, in a beautiful setting right on Seneca Lake, offering a beautiful display of Gods creation from either of the two decks. LOTS of laughter & love!

Family Reunion

We were so happy with everything about this property. The location is beautiful, and the house was very clean. We spent so much time on the deck and on the dock. The view is amazing, and the area was so quiet and peaceful. We had family in from California for our reunion who had their own rentals. They loved the area. We would definitely return.

Great week!

We really enjoyed the cottage - there were 7 people for a family vacation trip. More than enough room to be together/have some privacy if desired. The cottage was well equipped, and perfect for our group. The only negative is the road/driveway in. The property shares an entrance road with the neighbors, and they have made it a very sharp 90 deg corner with large rocks, signs, tree stumps so that turning that final corner while towing a boat is incredibly challenging. The neighbors recommended asking the owners to widen the other side of driveway at the top

Family getaway

This is the second time we stayed here and had a great time! We had a boat this time and thoroughly enjoyed the water. Just a couple of suggestions: ceiling fans on that wonderful back deck would help keep the bugs away at night when we were playing cards and board games. We spent almost all of our time on that deck. Mattresses on the second floor were very soft and didn't offer much support for the adults that slept up there. We cooked pretty lavish meals and the oven didn't want to heat up a couple of times. Turning it off and on several times helped. Overall a very positive experience!
