Excellent location with beautiful views.

The Yellow Cottage was the perfect place for my husband and I to stay while visiting friends in Fair Haven. Although we did not cook, the kitchen was well stocked. The screened porch was a wonderful spot to relax and look out across the lawn to Little Sodus Bay. Lynn made the process of renting super easy and she and Kevin could not have been nicer. Look forward to going back again!

Wonderful Vacation Property

I can’t say enough about this amazing property. Lynn was absolutely amazing from the moment we booked to the moment we left. The yellow cottage is just e enough to the park that we could walk or ride bikes. But we didn’t need to go anywhere. The Yellow Cottage was equipped with everything we needed. The dock was fun to launch our SUPs or fish off of. We can’t wait to visit again.

Lovely cottage in a lovely setting

The cottage was very clean and comfortable. It was as good as the listing reads, if not better! It was a chilly day, so we turned on the space heater right away and were warm in no time. Fair Haven should come with a warning, though - once here, we never want to leave! Thank you, Lynn, for sharing this beautiful spot with us. Phil & Judy

Great fishing

Location is great views and fishing were fabulous. Neighbors were friendly and helpful with local places to go. House was clean spacious. One day was cold and rainy so we stayed in to watch movies. The furniture was not the most comfortable. Everything else was very nice

Will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful stay at the yellow cottage. We were looking for a place for our family to disconnect from electronics and the usual running around back home and reconnect as a family. This was the perfect place. The cottage was equipped with everything we needed to grill out or to cook indoors. The views from the backyard were amazing. We caught some of the best sunsets and enjoyed just chilling by the lake and reading a book or watching the boats go by. The owners were very responsive before arrival and during our stay. We hope to be back soon.

Memories

My husband and 2 grand children ages 8 and 6 had a great time at the yellow cottage....easy check in and the cottage was spotless. The kids had so much fun jumping off the dock and playing some wiffle ball and other games in the large yard. I loved the swing where I enjoyed my morning coffee. We took bike rides to Fair Haven State Park and the kids loved the beach and the hiking trails and playgrounds. Village of Fair Haven is close enough to bike ride but we drove into town becasue we always needed to pick up something....I would highly recommend the yellow cottage. Lynn and Kevin are a lovely couple and we all had such a wonderful time.

Great vacation spot and host

We had a lovely week at this sweet cottage. Lynn puts a lot of thought into making the cottage feel comfortable for her guests: sending reminders for the stay, marking how to use items in the house, and a well equipped kitchen and cottage. The place itself is adorable, with a larger living room area and a sunroom that was my favorite room, day or night. Lynn and her husband live behind the cottage and her sister lives beside it. Both are very friendly and kind, yet give you privacy as well. If you need anything, they are happy to help. The house does not have air conditioning, but it gets cool with a all-house fan that circulates the cool air from outside quickly throughout the space. I rented kayaks to top off the week--those are not provided there. The view of the water and the sunsets across the bay made this place especially wonderful.

Comfortable, family friendly home in great location!

We had a wonderful stay at the yellow cottage. Check in was easy and Lynn was there to greet us and give us helpful information about our stay and the neat location we were in. Everything was clean and comfortable, the kitchen had anything you could need, the big windows were lovely, and it was very family friendly for our two year old. The fire pit and grill were great to have, and the views of the bay were beautiful. The location is excellent for exploring all the area had to offer. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it!

PERFECT LITTLE COTTAGE ON THE LAKE

We really enjoyed our week at the yellow cottage. We stayed in August so it was a little warm at night, other than mother nature not cooperating, the cottage had everything we needed. Lynn was a great host, her house is right behind the cottage so when I called and asked if the cottage had an iron, she said, no and she happily loaned me her personal iron and ironing board.

Perfect!

We have rented quite a few small cottages in different locations over the years. The yellow cottage is among the very best we've stayed in! Very clean, well-equipped, uncluttered, quiet, in a beautiful and convenient location. Owners were friendly and helpful but not at all intrusive. Perfect!

Perfect!

Came for a family wedding weekend and only regret was that we didn't have more time at the cottage. Super clean, spacious with beautiful grounds extending all the way down to the water. Bright and airy as well. Owners nearby and super friendly and helpful, yet not intrusive at all. Proactively offered extras that made our stay even better. Hope to be able to return soon!
