Absolutely loved our stay. Family is already asking when we can come back. Thank you for quick communication and having such a lovely place to stay. Despite weather which could have been better, we made the most of it. We enjoyed the kayaks and a fire by the water. Kitchen was well equipped for our needs. We will be back for sure!

The place was very homey and clean

We enjoyed staying at this house. The lake view is beautiful and very quiet. The other side of the lake is a bit more happening, but if you seek R and R, this is your spot.

Peaceful Lake Front Stay

This was a great stay for our girls trip to the wineries. We were a short ride from the Cayuga wineries and the Seneca wineries in the east side! The house was super clean & functional for 4 adults with some room to spare. The dock is terrific and you can’t beat the peaceful beauty of the lake. Bring some games or a good book to keep you busy at night. I’d recommend and go back!
