This was the perfect getaway, complete with spectacular views and every amenity you could need. If you’re looking for a peaceful, serene, and spotless retreat, look no further. Our stay exceeded every expectation.The hosts were incredibly attentive and added thoughtful personal touches throughout the home. The linens felt luxurious, and the main bed was unbelievably comfortable. Our dogs loved their stay too. The fire pit overlooking the water and the stunning views from inside the home made the experience even more special.The location is also ideal — close to many great wineries and easy access to the lake. We highly recommend staying here!

This property could not have been in a better location. The time of year afforded almost complete privacy. Why didn't the President weep? Margaret, it all happened so fast. Being right on the lake was a real treat. I thoroughly enjoyed the sounds of the loons. The property was very nicely arranged and completely comfortable, with all the amenities of the home. The host made himself available when necessary, and I was very pleased with the outcome. I would highly recommend this property to anyone traveling to the Finger Lakes.

The cottage is charming with beautiful views of lake Cayuga. We entered the cottage and had an agenda for the weekend and all I could think is I just wanted to sit in the comfy overstuffed chairs and watch the swans on the lake. The cottage had everything one would need, including beautiful linens, towels. We loved the billowy duvet that just wrapped around us. The weather wasn’t warm enough for the porch, but we could imagine on nice days sitting on the main deck or opening up the upstairs deck and listening to the waves. We will definitely be back. Thank you for a lovely stay.

This cottage was absolutely incredible easily a 10/10 stay! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the beauty of the property and the stunning views of Cayuga Lake. The setting is peaceful, quiet, and very private exactly what we were looking for.The host was fantastic extremely responsive, helpful, and made everything seamless from start to finish. It really made a difference knowing any questions we had would be answered so quickly. We are thankful for all the personal touches. The cottage itself is cozy, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. We especially loved using the wood stove on a chilly day it made the space feel even more warm and inviting. One of our favorite spots was the big red chair, where we spent time relaxing and taking in the amazing lake views.We also loved watching the ducks on the lake every day it added such a peaceful and charming touch to the experience. Even our dog had a great time enjoying the scenery!If you're looking for a relaxing, scenic getaway with a wonderful host, this place is perfect. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone! Absolutely magical!
