Our second trip here was just as excellent as the first. House is truly outstanding. Well stocked with awesome pool and ping pong table the kids loved. House is on a beautiful lake that is pretty quiet, ideal for boating and kayaking. Its also centrally located to explore all of the natural wonders that the local area, from wineries to the incredible local geology at the state parks.

FLX Family Weekend

The listing matched the house, cleanliness, and great communication with the management company. We enjoyed the sunset and sunrise from this location and watching the fishermen running up and down the lake or trolling in the area. The house was a good size for family to dine together and laugh and play games in the spacious living room.

Family Celebration

The house and location provided the prefect space for our family of 9 to celebration our mother/grandmother who passed away 6 months ago. House had everything we needed for cooking meals and enjoying the lake. We spent every night on the deck enjoying the sunsets. We would stay here again.

Perfect for a family vacation

My husband, myself, and our four year old stayed for three nights in June. My parents and sister came to visit during the day. We enjoyed kayaking on the lake. Saw ospreys and beavers and water lilies. The lake house is perfect for a family gathering with plenty of space and a wonderful open family room with tv and ping ping table. Beautiful views of the lake from the family room and the deck.

Fantastic home for big family

We had 4 adults and 4 teenagers. The property was perfect for us! The teens loved having the upstairs area all for themselves. The pool table that turns into a ping pong table got a lot of use. So fun to have something to do as a family. The kitchen is well stocked. It had everything we needed. Best part is the amazing deck and view of the lake. We spent the majority of our time there. The paddle boat, canoe and kayaks got a lot of use. Can’t wait to return

Papa Loved Fishing!

Our family had a blast! Small boats with paddles and life jackets was wonderful. The big open room with kitchen was great for our family. Kitchen was well stocked with appliances. We enjoyed the master bedroom - mattress was great. We are actually looking to get one like it. No one liked entering the water from the shore but they figured it out with the boats and our paddle boards. We will probably be back! PS - loved the big picture of the family!

Papas Paradise was Paradise for Our Family

Great property with plenty of space inside and outside to enjoy quality time together. The home is well equipped with spacious bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, a well-stocked kitchen, and indoor activities including a ping-pong table, large selection of boardgames, and 2 wonderful livingrooms to kick-back and relax. The peddle-boat, canoes and kyaks along with the outdoor grill, and backyard patio overlooking the lake provided the perfect setting. The one drawback, which we resolved by visiting nearby (13 minute ride) Champlin Park, was that you can’t swim comfortably in the lake. The plant growth in the water, which begins at the shore and extends past the dock, is abundant, and while my son swam out to the middle of the lake surrounded by other family members on the peddleboat and kayak he still found himself swimming up against the plants. Champlin Park in Hammondsport added an extra delight for us ,and the town has great shops, icecream and The Aroma Bakery & Art Cafe, with amazing mediterannean cuisine. If we ever wanted to stay in a home again in the Finger Lakes this will be our go-to!

Family Retreat

This was a wonderful home to celebrate my mom's 80th birthday. The house was beautiful and plenty of room for 5 adults and a 4 year old. The beds were all comfortable. Even though the 1 bedroom says it was a closet, it has a window and is comfortable, I was happy with it. The house is well equipped and didn't want for anything. The water is potable, but we were happier with bottled water. The view was spectacular from the deck. We used both the paddle boat and kayaks. Thank you for helping us create wonderful memories during our week.
