Property suited our needs for a large family gathering. Lots of space, beds etc. owner warned of sulfur water so we managed with bottled water and it was fine. Comfy gathering spots on big porches and inside. Hot water for showers for that many people is a problem even when you do your best to spread them out. The only cleanliness issue is the neighbor lady walks her dogs on the property many times a day. Dog poop in the yard makes it hard to play family games or even walk. Owner probably didn’t know it until now. He should tell her not to now.

Lot’s of Space

This is a very large older home. Our family lived the kitchen, wrap around porch and large dining room.We were unable to swim in the lake except by boat out in the center. The sulfur water was a bit strong and there were bees in the attic and ants in the kitchen. Nothing you would not see in an older house.

We chose this home because of the location to the nearby finger lakes wineries and Watkins Glen State Park. The rooms fit 27 guests comfortably (sharing rooms; twin trundle beds pop-up). For parking, there is only room for 10 cars, as stated in the description. I misunderstood thinking we could park additional cars in the lawn. The front lawn is down a bank, only accessible with AWD vehicles. Some of our guests had AWD so it wasn't an issue if someone manages the parking. The kitchen had a lot of storage room in the pantry for groceries, and the 3 fridges (one outside, one on the ground floor) really came in handy for food and beverages. The dining room and wrap around porch overlooks the lake, beautiful sunrise and sunsets. The kitchen had everything we could possibly need. We used the island in the kitchen for staging the catered dinners we picked up from Watkins Glen restaurants, less than 1/2 hour away. From the comments we knew to bring bottled drinking water in lieu of the well water. There are neighbors on both sides, so we tried to keep the outside music turned down, and only had music inside after 10pm. Overall, everyone enjoyed their stay, and we would rent this again. Our host was responsive to all communication.

Nice, large home

We loved our family weekend here, host was great to work with. Large home with huge side & front porch, many bedrooms, large kitchen and dining areas. Only negative was sulfur/well smell when running water, even when flushing toilet, it was too strong for us so we shut bathroom doors and used all our own water.

Great reunion for 26 family members

The house was spacious and comfortable. Everyone loved the lake access, the large backyard and the huge porch. The owner was great and respinded immediately to iur questions. Comfy bes and enough bathrooms. One caution, thiugh--drivers really FLY on the road in front so small children and pets should be kept under careful animals

Cousin weekend

Our first cousin weekend was a great success. The dragonfly inn made it as easy as can be for us all to have a lot of fun with everything we need on hand. Great location on the lake. For our next stay we would like to be there for a few more days when it’s a little warmer out. Beautiful place. Host was grea. very responsive and accommodating

Annual Family & Friends Lakehouse Vacation

The house is wonderful for a large group. Kitchen fully equipped to serve a crowd and we were all able to sit together for meals. Beautiful wrap around porch and lots of yard space. The only downside is the lake - unfortunately no one was able to swim du to the condition of the lake (hab). It seems that this is an ongoing issue with the lake.

Charming home, beautiful location

My very large family, spanning several generations, had a wonderful time at this location. There was something to do for everyone - a spacious dock, a huge backyard, and plenty of indoor space as well. We especially enjoyed the large, wrap-around porch that gave us lots of room where we could relax and hide from a couple of quick rain showers. The owner was very responsive and accommodating. We look forward to returning in the future!

Great Week

When we got to the cottage, we notice that the owner redid the kitchen and bathroom. Everything was clean when we got there. Only thing that might be better is steps to the water. Great Week. Will do again.

About the host

Hosted by Gary Case

Host profile image
My husband Gary and I live near Buffalo, NY and own a floor covering store in Lockport NY. Nancy grew up 12 miles north of Penn Yan and is familiar with life in the Finger Lakes. We started renting a cottage on Waneta Lake in 1992 and by 2000, we were ready to buy a place of our own, and you'll find us there most weekends during the summer down the lake from the Dragonfly Inn.

Why they chose this property

We have an acre of lawn to give you buffer space from other houses as well room for volley ball, and pick up football or soccer games. The very large wrap around porch lends shade from the sun and protection from the wind and rain and provides space for your entire group to lounge on one side. The spacious home provides a variety of active and relaxed areas for the diverse interests of a large group.

What makes this property unique

Our cottage, in addition to having access to all fishing and water sports, is close to dozens of wineries, The Windmill outdoor market (Saturdays only), Watkins Glen Motor Speedway, Corning Glassworks, Curtis Wright museum, and festivals happening throughout the summer at neighboring lakes and villages.
