Perfect place to stay for our family!

Our family of 4 enjoyed our stay here! The kids loved the trundle beds and the fire pit. The tiny home was very clean and cozy, we would love to visit again!

Weekend in wine country

This was a perfect spot for a weekend exploring the Seneca Lake wine trail. The home has everything you need and slept 4 adults very comfortably. We will definitely be booking again!

The loft mattress is not fullsized (thickness). Not good for my back but should be ok for kids.

The full kitchen was nice. The grounds and surrounding area was very nice, woods, corn fields and vineyards. The gas station down the road has plenty of food and beverages. This would be a good wine trail hang out.

Nice Spot near Seneca Lake

We enjoyed our stay at Sunny Serenity! Just enough amenities, and the kitchen is well appointed. Our 4 year old loved the loft space, which was perfect cause it's a very low ceiling. Favorite part was the screened in porch. The location is ideal for all the great spots along the east side of Seneca Lake.

Lovely bunkie in wine country

Loved the setting with farms and fields all around. You can see all the stars at night. No noise except for the owls. Thoughtfully equipped for the travelers from afar. Close to Sampson State Park as we were there for a dog show. Thank you for letting us spend the weekend at your bunkie. We'll be back!

Great little place

We had a great time staying on this property. We came for a girls getaway and the location was perfect. It was close to wineries, breweries, and watkins glen. As others have stated, the loft was very small, but we made it work. I would suggest if you have back problems, to sleep on the bed on the lower level. This was more comfortable. It was the perfect place to hang out with friends and relax for a couple days.

Amazing place for 2.

Everything u need for a nice weekend in the finger lakes. Super easy access to lower and west Seneca. Clean and well kept. Bed is in the loft with low ceiling, ladder access so you need to be a bit agile.

Great location!

This little cabin was in the perfect location, minutes from dozens of wineries. It was very clean. The only thing that caught us off guard was how small the loft was. My husband, baby, and I slept on the main floor rather than trying to sleep up there. We loved it though!

Very misleading

Described as secluded property with fire pit but arrived to find there was another cottage and the fire pit was shared. Who wants to sit at a fire with strangers? There were ants all over the bathroom floor (living and dead). Any crawling up walls, in the sink and shower. There were literal chunks of animal (presumably dog) hair throughout the house and on porch. Cobwebs and dead bugs on porch, that couldn’t have been cleaned in many weeks. My son put his sweatshirt on the floor when we arrived and when I picked it up, there was dust and dirt on it. The rocking chairs have clearly not been moved and cleaned under. There was a layer of dirt on the game shelf that looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in months. Advertised as having a queen bed in the loft, it was nothing more than a glorified mattress topper. Had I known this, I would have brought my own roll-out mattress.

Beware of Ants

When we arrived we saw a few ant traps and thought nothing about it - but by that night we were inundated with many large black ants in the bathroom and kitchen. I called Vacasa the next morning and they told me they would send the info off to the local staff and I told the corporate office to let them know I am ok with them coming in to spray that day. I never heard from the local office and that night the ants were even worse. We had them in the downstairs bed and bed up in the loft. I checked out the next morning and continued many conversations with the Vacasa corporate office to refund my money and after 10 days and many phone calls I got a whopping $58. My suggestion is that anyone that rents this place should make sure that the ant problem is cleared up. I was upset because with the ant traps already there they knew they had a problem but chose to still rented it out. Unfortunately, since the management company is not in town solving problems is much more difficult.

Not What I Expected

My husband and I stayed 2 nights to celebrate our anniversary in the Finger Lakes. While the location was nice, unfortunately we found the accommodations a bit disappointing. There were quite a few ants in the house. We noticed several ant traps that were not doing the job. We would have understood seeing a couple given the summertime amd location, but there were a lot. While the description of the property states this sleeps up to 4, the two bed options were very uncomfortable. The Queen bed in the loft was not a mattress. It was more like a flat beanbag bed. We knew the area in the loft was small but did not expect the mattress to be like this. My husband and I used the daybed downstairs. The mattresses on the daybed and pull-out were hard to sleep on as they were too soft and could feel the springs. Usually a daybed allows for the pull-out to pop-up to make a full bed, We were unable to do this so one of us slept on the bed and the other on the pull out below close to the floor. We also were not expecting the strong odor of sulfer in the water. That might be something you want to inform of in the description so people can plan to bring their own water upon arrival.
