The house was in a great location. Close to groceries, food and more. We enjoyed our stay in this clan and inviting house while we toured Seneca Lakes wineries. The hot tub and washer and dryer were great amenities. They made the trip relaxing and I went home with almost all clean clothes. The only suggestions I would have are more instructions on the keypad lock. Worked great day 1, day 2 did not like me so much. Would have been nice to have a drying pad that can be pulled out for the one or two cups you clean and leave overnight to dry and there were no tissues.
