Great location and so close to the water that we could hear the waves at night while sleeping. Nice neighborhood and enjoyed walking through Sampson state park. Close to parks and wineries. We will definitely come back again

Cozy Place on Lake Seneca

This little gem exceeded our expectations. We are simple people and this is a simple house with the convenience of waking up and getting in your kayak and exploring Lake Seneca. The little cottage isn't that brand new perfect place, but it suited us better than we could imagine. It made our 20th anniversary that much more enjoyable. I would highly consider renting this again if it's just my wife and myself. There is a sofa-bed upstairs so I guess you could sleep 4 max.

Quiet and cozy cottage

The cottage has great internet and satellite service. The inside is clean, neat and has everything one may need. If you have trouble walking then the stairs may be an issue. They are steep and about 13 of them from the road to the front door.

Peacefully perfect

Great little place! We walked in and immediately felt at home with the added bonus of a great view. The home had everything that we needed and my husbands only complaint was how I kept saying I wanted to live there :D Some personal taste things to mention are there are alot of stairs down to the water that can be slippery when wet, the shower is small and awkward to get into if you're bigger and the bed is pretty firm. None of these things were issues for us but noteworthy for some. In summary I am VERY happy we stayed here and will definitely look to book here again when I'm next in the area. I already miss the sound of waves lapping...

It was nice and cute but the furniture was uncomfortable to watch tv because of the position of the one sofa.The sleeper sofa mattress was extremely thin and I could feel the springs in the mattress. I thought I would be more comfortable laying on the mattress to watch t v instead of the sofa. I was extremely nervous about the gas heater in the bedroom.Because the front of it wasn't fully covered. For that reason I wouldn't recommend having kids there.The basements steps were steep to go up and down into the bedroom also. There were some spider webs in the LR and the air conditioner's front was extremely dirty. The host was wonderful and always got back to me with any of my questions. The kitchen was fine!

Everything was very nice well stocked if you wanted to cook. Could use softer mattresses and a mattress pad for pullout couch. Also maybe have a kayak for the guest. Parking was good. Could have been cleaned better around the fire pit but we did enjoy having a fire on a cool night. We also enjoyed having our morning coffee at the end of the deck

The views are unbeatable and the property was clean and functional. My only note is to perhaps have an exterminator spray for spiders being right on the lake, there were quite a few inside.

Lake house

This was our second time staying in the lake house. The outside needs a little care. The house doesn’t have a large oven. It does have a toaster oven. It has a very firm bed mattress , but the bed room is on lower level and must walk upstairs to the bathroom. I did miss last step in the middle of the night on my way downstairs. Great location and right by the lake. Can’t beat the price.

35th Wedding Anniversary!

Our second time staying at this great cottage. We stayed elsewhere last year and it didn’t live up to Mike’s place so we returned. Mike is a fantastic host as is his property. This cottage is literally right on the lake. Just what we look for. This place exceeds expectations for two people. We can’t wait for number 36 so we can return and celebrate all over again!

Amazing views!

This was the first part of our week’s vacation, the weather wasn’t great for the first few days but we finally got some sunshine. We feel that this property lacked in outside appearance but the inside was great. There is a lot to do in the area and we made the best of it!
