Nice place to stay on the water and great view of the lake. Nothing negative to say about the house. The communication from Finger Lakes Premier Properties was awful. I spoke to them and they told me the dock would be able to be used for my trip. Then 1 day before I left to drive 8 hours to stay they told me the dock wouldn’t be able to be used because of weather. I fish and was bringing my boat. I checked the weather every week for 4 weeks. It wasn’t because of weather, it was because the company didn’t get someone to put the dock in on time. The most frustrating part was multiple women in the office told me they would have Jenny the manager reach out to me to discuss some kind of reimbursement which never happened. Also I called back multiple times to speak with Jenny and she was always unavailable. Again wonderful location to the water and great house and views. However extremely disappointed with the property manager communication.
Beautiful place - so clean and super cozy!Absolutely loved the views of the lake and enjoyed hanging out on the back patio (the hot tub was perfect too). The beds were super comfortable and the neighborhood quiet - slept like a baby the whole time there! Also loved all the attention to small details. We will definitely return in the warmer months to fully enjoy the outdoor amenities.

Hi Maureen,
Thank you for the kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed the cozy home, lake views, and hot tub. It’s great to hear you had a peaceful stay. We’d love to welcome you back in the warmer months!
The house was immaculate with attention to details to make it comfortable for guests. We had a question and management was very responsive. We did not have the best weather but still beautiful so I added a couple pics. Highly recommend.

Renting this property was super easy, the manager was great to work with. The house is beautiful and was better than advertised. We enjoyed a fire with lake view and amazing star watching! We only wish we had planned to stay longer!

Thank you for your review, Tamar! We're happy to hear that you had a positive experience working with our team. We hope you'll be back for a longer stay soon!
Very nicely decorated, good kitchen with all needed supplies and amazing views! Living room is comfortable for 4 adults. Mattresses could use updating. House was very clean, but hot tub could use more effort.
