Cornell graduation with a bunch of family

With a large family coming into town all needing accommodations, this lakefront home was perfect! We weren’t too far away from Ithaca and the actual graduation. Other options in Ithaca and closer to it were far too expensive, but most of all didn’t suit the needs for the number of people we had. This place was perfect! Near to several breweries and wineries and plenty of space in the home for our entire family, it really was the best choice we could’ve made.

Weekend getaway with Friends

We really enjoyed our stay. The lake and property are beautiful. Was a tiny bit difficult to find as the property sits very far off the road. The amenities were more than sufficient. Wish we would have had our kayaks to enjoy the lake. Would stay here again in a minute!

Family get away

House was very clean. Decks, patio and view of the lake was fantastic. Great location, close to a number of wineries and distilleries. Loved the amount of kitchen supplies. We had 7 adults which can go thru a lot of dishes quickly. Lots of space for everyone to relax. Parking can be challenging with the steepness of the driveway. Would definitely book it again.

Great Lake house.

We enjoyed our stay. The home was updated and very clean. They had everything we needed. The view was amazing too! There were 10 of us and everyone agreed it was a great home. The only suggestion we would have would be to address the creaky floors. Everyone could hear others walking on the top floor. Otherwise it was perfect. Thanks!

Almost perfect

My group of 10 friends loved the house and the location. It was beautiful, right on the lake and close to everything. The beds were comfy and the house was spotless. We’re talking about a summer trip when we can enjoy more lake activities. There were two concerns. We found a dead mouse/rat drowned in a bowl of water in the kitchen sink. The other issue was that the people who slept in the lower level room noticed a smell of sewer coming from the bathroom.

Lakefront Oasis

Staying at this property was incredible! There’s nothing quite like waking up, sliding that screen door open, and stepping out to enjoy the gorgeous view with your coffee. The kitchen has everything we would need cooking wise, but doesn’t come with oil, salt/pepper, or any food items—so be aware! The common rooms were the perfect place to enjoy each other’s company and play games. The location is IDEAL if you’re planning to visit any wineries. We made our way to quite a few, and all of you have to do is choose a direction and there are many at your fingertips. Overall, 10/10 stay!

Property is right on the lake. House was very clean and spacious. We had 6 couples. One bedroom was very small but all others were great. Kitchen had everything we needed. Driveway is long but wasn’t an issue for us. Parking for four cars only.

Amazing Location & Beautiful View!

This house and location is perfect for anyone looking for a Finger Lake’s getaway at Seneca Lake! We went on a girls’ trip and everything was great. The view of the lake from the kitchen/dining room was incredible, and the house was beautiful! It’s also really accessible to so many wineries and things to do, and the dock is perfect for lake day hangouts! The only issue we ran into was with the fridge. It never got cold enough for our items, and when I communicated with the rental on the issue I never heard back. Everything else, and all other communication, was perfect though! Highly recommend!

Beautiful house right on the lake!

A group of friends stayed at this property and had a great time! It's right on the lake and in a great location! Can be hard to find so I recumbent using Google Maps (over Apple Maps). The driveway is very steep but we didn't have trouble fitting 5-6 cars. They do not provide anything in the kitchen food-wise, so I would recommend bringing seasoning and condiments. I would definetly stay again!

Great location, beautiful views of the lake and sunsets. Property has plenty of room to spread out and take some "me" time and the common areas are big enough to gather everyone together; Perfect combination!
