We loved this house, it was clean, well stocked and cozy. Perfect location, quiet neighborhood. Watching the swans on the water with morning coffee on the deck was an added bonus. Victoria answered all my questions quickly. Would hope to stay here again if we return to the area.

We enjoyed this property very much. The host was very communicative, approachable and friendly. She also responded immediately to any question or request. The lake view was nice. The neighborhood peaceful and quiet. The deck was great for socializing and eating. The dock was clean and sturdy. The location was perfect for traveling to nearby sites such as Alexandria Bay, Clayton and Canada. The kitchen was wonderful! Every appliance worked well. The amount of supplies were many and of top brands. We never needed a thing!We loved the home as it was spacious and comfortable. The tv was a huge size with many options of channels and apps. The beds were strong, stable with comfortable mattresses and pillows. The air conditioner/heater was in excellent shape and worked well without being too noisy. In conclusion, one of the better homes we’ve stayed in and will return someday soon. THANKYOU Victoria!

We had an amazing Fall family getaway. The house was very clean and well maintained. Nice patio and view. We are a family of 5 and there was plenty of room for us. Kitchen had everything we needed. In our down time in the evening we enjoyed playing the board games provided. The host Veronica was extremely friendly and gave great dining options as well as must see’s & do’s in the area. Would love to go back & stay again!
