Traveling in the past.

If you are looking to step in to 1940-50 this is your place, this place has no AC but all the windows open and you get a cold breeze from the lake, there is also fans in every room. If you trying to get away from the internet and TV and enjoy the lake and nature. If you have little kids you will need baby gate to block the stairs.

Old School Lake House Vibe

We had a great time at this property. Harry and Carolyn responded anytime I had a question. The house was everything we needed with and old school lake house feel. We spent most of our time outside in the water or fishing. My daughter even caught a catfish! Close to Wegmans grocery store and Sierra Trading which was great to purchase extra swimsuits and floats for the kids.

Beautiful setting on the water

Description is very accurate - the house is not fancy, but had everything we needed. The biggest issue for our group was that the only bathroom in the house is on the second story, which was a bit tough on my in laws and young children. The setting right on the water was beautiful and makes up for what the house lacks. We did not use the lift, but we were able to tie our boat to the dock. It was a short drive to the boat launch and all other conveniences in town. Owner was very responsive to a couple of issues when we first arrived. Overall a good experience!

Vacay

Beautiful view of lake. I can deal with dated but the place seemed to be very messy, not clean. It looked like they hadn’t dusted in a month or more. When you enter the cottage there were dead leaves in the entryway plus an old Exercycle. It would have taken someone less than an hour to clean that out.I had to stand on a chair to change a lightbulb in the bathroom. Pros: Beds were comfortable Washer and dryer available Even though not air conditioned the fans did work well Well stocked kitchen

Lakeside R&R old school style

The classic home, circa 1940s-50s, on east (BEST!) side of Canandaigua Lake, with breathtaking views and breezes, easy shallow shoreline, spacious and tons of easy parking, great open, well light airy kitchen, 5 bedrooms upstairs, (2 facing the lake!), fun front porch, toasty propane heater, the extra outdoor building with toilet, and the generosity of the hostess (Janet); these are some of the highlights

Family Vacation

Dish washer did not work. Spiders on the dock. Needs professional help. WiFi very weak. Put in wrong place. Not enough fans to cool up stairs. Bought 4 at Walmart and left at cottage. Stove had only one knob. Great large living area. Great front porch overlooking area. Great dock. Nice size bedroom. Convenient location.

7:20/21 Thanks for the feedback. It’s needed if we are to correct things. Wi-Fi is in the barn because that’s where the power is—will check it out to make sure it’s consistent. We have NO idea who took the knobs off the stove!! Strange!! Spiders were on dock before we were—homesteaders. They eat bugs. Dishwasher will be fixed for we need it too. I’m now Recovering from surgery done last Wednesday and this a great place to re-Hab. Best wishes. Enjoy summer. Harry & Kari

Needs update

More than rustic, it’s dated. The cottage is in a beautiful location but lacked many features for price paid. Dock for boat was ok but hoist inoperable, lights without bulbs, all baseboards hadn’t been wiped down in years, screens in disrepair and no WiFi or ac. Granted it’s a advertised as a rustic place but with limited fans, no air conditioning coupled with dust and bugs at night due to screens, left us leaving to sleep elsewhere and only use the cottage during the day. The owner was responsive but gave no significant consideration for our inconvenience. If you want a relaxing place and have issues with heat or dust this isn’t the place. I hope they are able to update this historic home.

Nice Cottage on the lake

Stay was as advertised. Cottage was nothing fancy, but beautiful lake views right on the water. I would say the place only has one bathroom because the other in the barn left a lot to be desired. That being said we had a great time and would stay here again. Thanks.

Extremely Disappointing Rental

We were extremely disappointed with this rental. As soon as we pulled up, we were greeted by 2-3 foot weeds all around the back entrance. The cottage was advertised as being cleaned with disinfectant and enhanced cleaning practices, however the place smelled so dusty and musty that we did not even sleep there. We paid for a hotel in Geneva instead and just stayed outside at the cottage during the day. Rather than cooking there, we ate all meals out so our vacation cost more than double. The cottage also advertises bedrooms but the walls do not go all the way to the ceiling so there is zero privacy. The upstairs felt more like an attic with partitions and was blistering hot. The mattresses were extremely old and lumpy. There was a bees nest in the ground and 2 hornets nests by the back porch and we were stung several times. The “fire pit” was just a few rocks right next to the outdoor electrical outlets. We also saw a chipmunk enter the house under the screen door. To charge what they charged per night for this cottage, which is not properly maintained and advertised falsely is unbelievably wrong.

Summer family weekend.

Great property. We had so much fun. Lots of beds, windows and room. Outside area overlooking the lake was beautiful. Dock was nice with ladder at the end for swimming. I would definitely stay here again. Location to stores was perfect.

Great view and relaxing experience

Very simple lake living as the owner states....could use a few updates but the owners were great to work with, flexible and made the process easy. They were very responsive with any needs. Quant and historic lake house with a great position on the lake, being close to town. Our family had a great time. Thank you to the Miller's for allowing us flexibility to stay on the days we selected.
