I can't say enough about our stay at this property. Communication with the host was timely and questions were addressed before we even had to ask. The property itself was adorable...spotless, comfortable, well-appointed...we had everything we needed and then some. The location was spectacular, we enjoyed lake views, falls colors, and proximity to many wonderful wineries...while at the same time we were able to comfortably relax in this beautiful rural setting. I would not hesitate to book this property again or to recommend it to another traveler.

Our stay was lovely. Easy to travel the east side of Seneca Lake touring wineries, breweries and distilleries! The front porch was perfect for morning coffee and evening cocktails. The back patio was fun to eat dinner while looking at the lake. The house was equipped with plenty of kitchen items to make meals with. The shower had great pressure and the bathroom plenty of space to house the washer and dryer. Really was a perfect place for two couples. Having the Hector Wine company across the street was a bonus.

This cute cottage was perfect for me and 3 other adults. You can't beat the proximity to local wineries, and the view of the sunset over the vineyards on the back deck is gorgeous, and you're in the middle of a cute little town here. It was a quick drive to Watkins Glen, and Seneca Falls was only about 45 minutes away. The host was great and quickly responded to any questions or concerns. It is cozy and just what we needed to enjoy time together in the Finger Lakes.

This is our second time staying here. Great location close to our favorite wineries! It was a nice touch to have a bottle of wine waiting for us and also tasting coupons that we could use throughout the weekend. The weather was nice and we enjoyed ending our days sitting on the porch with the propane fire pit looking at the lake!

We had a great stay! The house is a little close to the road which I didn't realize, but the backyard, front/side porch and back deck were amazing! Inside space was great for our family of four. We added a day to our stay and the owners were very accomodating. Would definitely recommend this place!
