The house was clean, cozy, and had all the supplies/items you might need. The lake view is great, as well as the proximity to town. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

A fun, clean place to stay. We took advantage of all amenities; fire pit, picnic table, kayaks, canoe, and outdoor grill. Scenery was awesome, especially from the rocking chairs in the patio. Highly recommended.

Hi Cathy. I am happy you had a good fishing weekend. Our weather this time of year can be hit or miss with cooler and rainy days. I'm not sure if that helps with catching fish, overall, but nicer weather, from my perspective, makes it much more enjoyable! We certainly look forward to your future visit. Be well. Best, Michele
This was a beautiful home perfect for our annual family vacation with tons of extras and great amenities. Lots of fun stuff to do nearby and a dock for our jetskies!

Hi, Charlotte. Sorry for the late response. I am not sure how I missed your review. I am happy to read that you thought well of the house and how it is stocked. Since the owners are there often they make sure it's got what they want and need for their regular visits. The house truly is well loved and often used by them. It makes it nice for our guests, too. BTW, I love the fire pit, too. Its location is perfect! We hope you will come visit again. Best, Michele
I enjoyed the cottage especially the decor and excellent accommodations. The view across the lake was beautiful- especially at sunset and sunrise. Thanks for providing my family and I with a peaceful vacation!

Our stay was fantastic. This house was once owned by my grandfather and we were able to revisit our childhood and all the wonderful memories. What a great experience.!!

Perfect location if attending an event at Emerson Park Pavilion or visiting downtown Auburn. Property was well equipped with kitchen & pantry items. Cozy inside & very relaxing outside around fire pit. Property was true to it’s listing & property manager was very easy to communicate with. Would stay here again.

We had a fantastic stay here as two families of two adults and two children (8-14yo). The house was well equipped with dishes, utensils, oils and spices. There was great water pressure and lots of hot water. We enjoyed a backyard campfire every night and made great use of all the water toys - kayaks, inflatables, and a canoe. Neighbours, owner and property manager were all super nice. Would definitely stay again.

Wonderful news, Susan! It sounds like your vacation was everything you hoped it to be. We are happy the lake house provided for a comfortable and enjoyable visit. You got a great week of super nice weather, too. We look forward to seeing you again. Be well.
We went to Syracuse for my daughter's graduation from college and stayed on the lake in Auburn. It was a 45 min drive back into Syracuse but there were so many cute and yummy restaurants near the house and places to check out. Loved sitting by the lake in the many chairs provided. My oldest two kids took the canoe out on the lake and one of the kayaks and had a great time. The house fit our family perfectly! Zero complaints!

Hi Melissa. Thanks for the nice review. I am so happy that you and your family had a nice visit and were able to be fairly close by for your daughter's graduation. It's such a bittersweet milestone, in my experience... and it's made so much nicer when family comes together to join in for the celebration. It's so wonderful that your parents came up to take part in it, too. Take care and be well. Best, Michele
We had a nice vacation stay at 5686 McClelland. House/Camp was well stocked with all kitchen needs and paper products. The two kayaks and canoe were a plus and the fire pit got some use for smores the last two nights after the rain went away. Our only concern were the steep stairs to the second story, especially for those with a disability or advancing age.

Hi Stan. I am glad you enjoyed the place.
I appreciate your input. The steps to the upstairs are a bit steep. I will make sure to make note of that for perspective guests so they are aware.
Be well and Happy Autumn!
This house was exactly what we were looking for and exactly as advertised. The lakefront location and dock space were perfect. The house was small but very well equipped. Also, house was clean and included bed linens and towels. It was nice to arrive to a home with made beds.
Neighborhood was great and the neighbors were helpful. Would highly recommend. Thanks for a great stay.

Thank you SO much! My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful lakeside home. It has everything you could possibly need.
We spent our days on the water and our nights around a great fire. We were so comfortable. The beds are great!
It was hard to leave.
Thank you again!

I am so happy you enjoyed your time at the lake house. It is indeed a very calm and restful place. We hope you will come visit us again. Best, Michele
The house was wonderful - great location on the lake, very comfortable, and very well stocked with everything you could need. My wife, who is a good cook, was amazed at all the spices they had. It is close to many good wineries and breweries, and close to Auburn where we enjoyed a great dinner and flights of excellent beers at Prison City Brewery. We used the canoe more than once, enjoyed the fire pit, and fished from the dock. The five of us all truly enjoyed our 3-night stay here. Would highly recommend it!

Hi Steve. I am so thrilled that you, your wife, and your guests enjoyed your stay. The house is very well stocked as the owners love the lake - and the Finger Lakes area on the whole -- so they are at the house as much as possible. It's not just a rental to them, it's a second home.
We certainly hope you will come and visit us again. Be well and enjoy the upcoming summer!
Best,

The cottage was super clean and stocked with every amenity and extra you could think of. Absolutely gorgeous spot on the lake and extremely cozy and updated. Close to beautiful Emerson Park and Auburn. The property manager checked in to make sure everything was okay and if we needed anything. We. OU isn’t have asked for a better Finger Lakes experience!

Our daughter got married and we were looking for a place to stay that was on the lake so we could have our boat with us and also be able to have family and friends join us the day after the wedding. This place was perfect! Only 0.4 mile away from The Springside Inn, where the wedding was held. The house was well equipped for a great lake experience. The owners were very quick to answer our questions. The neighbor was very helpful and friendly. We would stay here again!

Congratulations to you, Sarah, to your daughter, and the entire family! We are happy the lake house could play a small part in the celebration (and the nuptials). We hope you will come visit us again. Be well!
This was our first year up to the Finger Lakes for family vacation, and we really enjoyed this home! There were 7 of us which comfortably fit and enough space for everyone. The location was perfect. Close to the Speedway to pick up little things, and the downtown of Auburn was only about 15 mins away. We were able to fish, kayak and swim right off the dock.
Backyard was great with a firepit and plenty of space to eat and hang outdoors. There was enough parking for a few cars which was great. Overall we felt the house had everything we needed, and we are looking forward to returning!

The entire experience was a 12 out of 10. The VRBO manager checked in with us before we even got there, gave us suggestions and recommendations. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The fire pit is right out in front of the lake and the house came with canoes and kayaks (we couldn’t use as the lake had blue algae when we were there unfortunately but would have loved too) I can’t say enough about the neighbors, so friendly on both sides, one even gave us a boat ride. Would highly recommend this rental!

Katey,
I am so happy you had such an enjoyable stay. I am sorry about the algae and your not getting an opportunity to use the water boats but I do hope you'll come again. Usually, earlier in the summer season, the weeds (and algae) typically are not as bad but that is definitely dependent on the weather.
Again, Skiff and Beak is one of my favorite places to visit when I am up there. I am thrilled you loved it, too.
Be well. Best, Michele
