Victorian home in Geneva

We rented this home for graduation weekend from HWS. The home was clean and the bed was cozy ( we only used one). The only drawbacks were that at the top of the stairs there is no banister for about 3 steps which was very difficult for me. Also there is NO banister going into the basement where the washer/dryer are located. Very close to college and town and 1/2 block from our daughters home she had lived in with her friends! Wishes: banisters, tv upstairs, BBQ grill. The front yard and porch need attention. The house fit our needs for the weekend.

Visit to HWS

My son was visiting HWS. This property is right next to campus. It is exactly as advertised. Communication was easy and the property was very clean ( my favorite ). There was some college kid noise on Saturday night but that added to the flavor of a college visit. Would stay again.

Great place

Great stay, the place is great and comfortable, Karen is a good communicative house. Nice location, walkable. You'll get some student noise on party nights, but nothing that's a big deal.

Close to college!

We came to Geneva to attend an open house at HWS. The house was right across the street from the school and close to a variety of restaurants and vineyards. Communcation was great and check in/out was easy.

Clean and cozy with great access to geneva downtown area.

We were staying a couple of days to attend classes at the Cornell Agritech center. The location was perfect and we were able to walk to classes and all the great restaurants downtown.

Geneva

The house is in a great location, close to the Waterfront, and restaurants. We are a 65+ group and we had to take it slow on the stairs, would have appreciated a handrail on the right side on the upper stairs. We loved the character of the old house and a nice neighborhood. We will keep in mind for our next Finger Lakes Vacation.

Great home base for a wedding weekend

We had our wedding in Geneva and this was our home base! It had everything we needed with a spacious living room area where we got ready and comfy beds. Very quick walk to the local coffee shop and convenient to drive to the nearby wineries. Highly recommend!

Cutest house ever! Just what we were looking for.

A small older home that was perfect for my husband and I. Our host Karen had all the basic supplies needed from coffee to spices to 4 trays of ice for cocktails! Mattresses were very comfortable. Bathroom quite small but shower strong and hot. Geneva is a beautiful city on the lake with lots of great restaurants close by. Will definitely return.

Eclipse Get Away

Stayed in Geneva for the solar eclipse. The clouds did not cooperate but we enjoyed the close distance to town and the grocery store. Visiting the local coffee shop was a pleasure. Spending the weekend reminded me of my college days. The owner treated us great! We hope to come back!

I was more than pleasantly surprised at the home, cleanliness, amenities that were there, it was just like being home!! All you need is groceries, and you are set. It was very close to lots of wineries, walking distance to town, Seneca lake, grocery stores etc. Very nice neighborhood.

Perfect HWS Rental in Geneva NY

Rented the house for college graduation stay of 3 nights. Priced way better than a hotel and got to experience college aged neighbors lives. Walked easily to graduation but house has a parking spot off street. Owner was so kind to let us do a last minute late check out. Clean, old village style house yet modern inside. Walked to downtown so I could have a few drinks. Loved it!!!

Cute Victorian House in Geneva

This is a cute, old Victorian house! Yes, the floors and stairs creaked…but the WIFI was strong and the shower had good water pressure. One late, weekend night we heard some of the neighbors having fun, but besides that it was a very quiet neighborhood. And so close to everything Geneva has to offer: the lake, grocery stores, the college field, fast food and restaurants.

Good location and Room

Lovely property for my husband and I. More than enough room, clean, soft towels, and great walking to town and around lovely homes near college. Small problems with working TV and washer that were immediately dealt with by host. Great communication. Portable air conditioners in each room that worked well and house near grocery store for home meals. Thank you for a nice stay.

Stay in Geneva while visiting Ithaca

I love old houses so this property was right for us. The house was very clean and comfortable. Close to downtown. Nice neighborhood. The only thing I wish it had was a bannister on the railing that went all the way up to the second floor. I have some trouble navigating stairs and of course the only bathroom is on the top floor. Thanks to the owner for communicating so well.
