Peaceful weekend getaway

Very clean and comfortable. Peaceful and private setting with outstanding sunset views from the house or lakeside beach. Well equipped kitchen. Two first-floor bedrooms each with their own full bathroom was perfect for two retired couples. Highly recommend this property.

Aurora-adjacent with lovely view of Cayuga

Clean, orderly house with both common areas and separate spaces for privacy. Only real issue is limited hot water in the shower; if you're looking for shower of more than 5, 6 minutes, you'll be out of luck. Kitchen is orderly and functional, BR (only used one) perfectly fine. Joined LR-Kitchen-Dining area offers lovely lake views. WiFi worked fine. Would've appreciated basic TV to allow for watching local news and weather; it's BYO premium channels, FYI, and no basic channels provided. About 1 mile to north end of Aurora, another half mile to compact, picturesque campus of Wells College - which is worth a walk-around 'cause it's so pretty.

Great property just outside of Aurora

Large, clean home with a beautiful view of Cayuga. Lots of room for our extended family and a short drive from the Inns of Aurora where we attended a wedding. Large property with lakeside grill and fire pit. Nicely appointed kitchen and very comfortable beds. Would stay there again!

Perfect for two-3 couples , or a family

This property was so beautiful and located honestly within walking distance to the town of Aurora . Mackenzie Childs is right down the road as well. We went in mid October and therefore missed the swimming season. I was bound and determined to go kayaking but I forgot My life jacket. I recommend bringing your own towels as the ones provided were very basic. If you’re going to cook a lot bring all spices and provisions. There are three bedrooms each with their own private bathroom. Huge game room upstairs! They do have some games and books there but if you have a favorite bring them. The space is fantastic for group gatherings. We loved the lay out! The grounds have the most glorious trees . We also had two bonfires by the waters edge on 2 evenings! It’s great for star gazing as well. Next time we will bring another couple or two with us for another amazing stay.

Weekend of Joy

Came to Aurora for a family wedding and this property was just what we needed! Home was beautiful and comfortable for all. A perfect place to relax when not at the wedding festivities. Panoramic views are stunning and the best for enjoying morning coffee and watching boats and wildlife. We only wished we could have stayed longer - highly recommend!

Nice Retreat

This house was perfect for my girlfriends and I. The bathroom to bedroom ratio is perfect, we were able to make home cooked meals while we stayed, and there was plenty of room to hang out! I wish we had taken advantage of the waterfront fire pit, but we will save it for next time!

The Perfect Place

Luxury on the lake pretty much sums it up. This home is spacious but cozy. The 2 main floor bedrooms with on suites was a real plus for our 2 couple group. The upper level bedroom also provides a full bath. The kitchen was beautiful and functional. Well stocked with dishes and utensils. Great coffee bar! The beds were comfortable...another big plus. The home was exceptionally clean and organized (no clutter). The upper level game area was nice with a great view of the lake. The walk to the beach wasn't far for us but just note the driveway might be considered long for some. The private beach is across the road at the end of driveway.We were able to enjoy an awesome camp fire our first night. Plenty of wood , chairs and tables provided. Solar patio lights added to the beautiful Autumn evening. Well worth the walk! We would definitely rent again if we return to the area.

Beautiful view

My family enjoyed our visit. The house is exactly as pictured and equiped with everything you could need for a week. There are hiking trails on the property that my husband and I enjoyed. We spent most of our time hiking the falls in Ithaca, Watkins Glen and Seneca Mills Falls. It is a drive to go places but the views are spectacular so we didn't mind. The only downside to our trip is, we all decided, that we didn't plan to stay 2 weeks.

Perfect house for our family

My siblings and their spouses (3 senior couples) found this house to meet most all of our needs. Each of us had our own bed and bathroom which is a real plus. We really enjoyed the game room. We brought our own reversible curling/shuffleboard and had tournaments. We set up a puzzle on the lower table which was a bit of a challenge for our knees and backs. And, we used the table upstairs for late night pinochle games. The lighting downstairs in the dining area leaves something to be desired. The florescent lights hum, put out dim lighting, and periodically one of the bulbs would go out. The only other criticism is the lack of ESPN on the TV. It was baseball playoff time and it would have been nice to watch these games. The house is beautiful. The kitchen very well stocked. And we watched a family of deer come by everyday to sample apples from the trees out front. The firepit area by the lake is a lovely, peaceful place to watch the sunset and enjoy s'mores.

Beautiful home and property

We loved the beautiful home and views from the many windows. It had everything we needed, from kitchen ware to games. We loved watching the deer come each evening to dine on fallen apples from the apple trees in the front yard. We loved the proximity to the village of Aurora and many nice wineries. It was extremely relaxing and we look forward to another vacation in the area in the future. We didn't realize we'd need to cross a busy road to get to the lake, but that worked out fine.
