Cozy cabin in the woods

This was our first time visiting the Finger Lakes. We really enjoyed our stay at this home. It had a cozy cabin feel tucked in the woods with beautiful views of the lake. We found the house clean and accommodating. The kitchen was well maintained. The porch was a nice place to relax. We plan to come back.

Beautiful secluded house

House is spacious and nice but could use some additional amenities. Needs hairdryer, more silverware, beach towels, grill brush and cards/games. The stairs to the lake are steep and the landing is slippery. Overall good but could be great.

Exceeded expectations!!

We can not think of one negative thing to say about this amazing property! The pictures do not do it justice!! It accommodated our group of 11 perfectly and it provided a private and relaxing getaway. I would love to return again for a longer stay to fully enjoy the beauty of this property.

Great time

We had a great time at Fossil Beach. The house was very well maintained, exactly how was described in the listing. Plenty of room for everybody in our group. We enjoyed the lake almost too much! The water was perfect, the surrounding area was quiet and peaceful. Everyone from the youngest kids to the oldest adults had a wonderful time. I highly recommend this property for anyone looking to get away for a little while.

Spring Delight

We went in April to potentially see the eclipse and spend family time. The eclipse was a bust but the family time was perfect. The hot tub, fossil hunting and stone skipping by the lake were the highlights. Beds were comfortable and the dining table accommodated all ten of us comfortably. If you can’t do steep stairs (up to the bedrooms inside and down to the lake outside) then this is not the place for you. The view and sunrises are gorgeous. Onanda Park, with a playground and hiking trails, is only 3 minutes away. We would love to return in the summer when we could do more lake activities.

July 2023

Had a great week with family. Home was updated, comfortable and ideally located in a quiet wooded location with a well stocked kitchen and ample room for 5 adults, a 3 year old and a dog. Enjoyed fishing off the dock and even caught a few perch and catfish. Found some fossils along the lake front too! Took advantage of kayaks, rowboat and swimming in the lake. Outdoor space by the lake was a small cement or muddy area even on dry days so space was not ideal for lounging lakeside especially with a dog and a toddler, but the small dock was perfect for fishing. We did enjoy a fire in the fire pit by the lake. As others mentioned, there are many steep steps to get to the lake so not good for any one that has issues with stairs but great exercise for everyone! Could use a new ladder on the dock to replace the rusty one with sharp edges. Bath towels provided were small and scratchy so was glad I brought a few from home. Could also use a new frying pan to replace worn pans with the non stick coating heavily scratched. We had an issue with the PIN code when we first arrived and although it took a few tries and several stints on hold the response was fast and resolved. We had to replace batteries in remotes for TV and ceiling fan and found some dog hair around floors and furniture from past occupants, so a little more attention to the smaller details would be appreciated. Overall enjoyed Fossil Beach and all it had to offer. Would definitely consider a return trip.

Be Prepared for lot of Stairs !

Warning: If any of your group have a problem with stairs, this may not be right for you. The indoor stairs to the upper level are narrow, steep risers, shallow steps, open on one side and without carpet or treads. Additionally, the outdoor stairs down to the dock and the fire pit are a triple flight of steps to the bottom. The house did not have nearly enough bathroom or kitchen towels for 9 people and if you wanted more, you had to pay more. Really? And the first night we arrived after a long day of traveling and unpacking, we pulled back our bedspreads to find out that the beds only had bottom sheets & pillow cases - no top sheets. So we had to find the sheets and make our beds last minute. Now, for the good stuff: The house is very bright and full of beautiful views of the lake. It's quiet and secluded but there are neighbors around if you needed them. The water toys were great and we loved sitting around the front porch talking and listening to good music each night. The kitchen and dining area is the property's best feature. It was well equipped and spacious with seating for 12. Very Nice.

Beautiful Lake Front Property!!

Me and my party just left this Fossil Beach property and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about it. The view is beautiful, you have great views of the lake from the front porch as well as the kitchen. It's a nice private area and the house is beautiful. We arrived and everything was so clean, it was great to walk in to. We had no complaints and had a wonderful time there. Would 100% go back again!

Beautiful Lake View

My parents and my husband and children and I stayed here over Thanksgiving. The kitchen was arguably the most delightful room in the house! I was even happy to be in there cooking so much! I could look out on the lake… The casual dining area who is perfect for her our family Thanksgiving. It was just a really beautiful time. The main bedroom was especially lovely as well. I would love to stay here again.

Great family getaway in nature

Our group of adults( parents and grown children with spouses) enjoyed the property very much. Quiet and private. Nice access to the lake and fun water toys. Set up was very good for eating together (large table) and watching TV (plenty of setting , we were a party of 6). More than enough sleeping arrangements too. Due to location, we did drive a lot to get to activities but the house amenities made that worthwhile.

Beautiful scenery of lake. Disappointed with windows and bugs. We liked large kitchen eating area. Gas burners kitchen not working properly. Stairs to upper level a little dangerous as blends in with floor at bottom and difficult to see. Enjoyed fire pit and dock.

Super fun! Would not recommend for young children...the area is a little steep but perfect for adults. Also, quiet hours are big to the owner so must be willing to respect that.

Great for a Weekend Getaway

Stayed here on a girls weekend trip. Very nice house with a great view of the lake. Only downsides were there was no WiFi installed yet (will be in 2021 as per property managers). And the downstairs TV remote was missing when we arrived. The property managers were quick to respond to my questions while onsite. With out a cable or internet for Firestick/Roku, the DVD was the only option available, but bring your own DVDs. Luckily we didn't need the TV as we spent most of the time down at the dock swimming, kayaking, and enjoying a nice bonfire. I would highly recommend as a nice escape from everyday life.
