Follow us on IG for more info + sister properties @romig_retreats
Comfortable and cozy spaces are our specialty- you’ll feel it when you walk in! This cozy cabin nestled into a private 6 acre lot with a private pond, hot tub, and endless nature is a great place to take in all that the Finger Lakes has to offer.
The house is right between Honeoye and Canadice Lake. It is also just a short drive from the wine/beer trails and very close to multiple hiking/skiing destinations.
The Space The house is a cabin chic style cape cod that has been built with modern luxuries in the rolling hills of the Finger Lakes. The beautiful outdoor gathering spaces to take in the natural setting are equipped with a gas fire pit and an ample supply of Adirondack chairs to relax on the patio. There is a gas grill and outdoor eating area that are a perfect place for you and your family and friends to make memories. The 6 person hot tub is a serene place to take in the night sky. The star gazing is unmatched away from the light pollution of the city.
The view of the North lawn leads up to our enormous pond that takes up almost an acre of the yard. The pond is immaculate and great for swimming/fishing with a dock on the south shore. SWIM AT OWN RISK. NO LIFEGUARD ON DUTY. Stocked with 5 different kinds of fish and almost 20 ft deep in parts this pond is a budding fisherman's dream. Please make sure to catch and release.
The first floor of the house is outfitted with multiple gathering areas and two comfortable bedrooms. The large kitchen is perfect for creating wonderful meals for your group and is attached to a dining room with a table for 6 guests. A peninsula with stools that divides the kitchen and the dinning room serves as a great place for people to hang out and snack while others are cooking. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, utensils, silverware and anything else you might need to create or enjoy a meal with your guests. The kitchen has all of the appliances you need including a large refrigerator, a dishwasher, a range, a toaster, and a microwave for your use.
Around the corner from the kitchen is a comfortable living room equipped with big leather couches, a smart TV, and plenty of reading material.
The two bedrooms on the lower level are sheltered from the gathering area and get plenty of natural light. They are close to the downstairs full bathroom that has a bathtub (great for bath time if traveling with kids!)
The 2 upstairs bedrooms have queen beds and plenty of closet space for your clothes/belongings. One of the bedrooms has a full bathroom directly attached to it and is stocked with any bathroom supplies that your group may require. Upstairs also has a small office space in case you need to get some work done with a chair and a desk that is fully equipped with supplies!
The space is intended and priced for 8 guests. If you wish to bring up to 12 guests, please inquire about additional costs and sleeping arrangements.

We had a wonderful stay. The house was clean and very well equipped. The property was absolutely lovely, private, and our dogs loved being able to run around and swim in the pond. The grill, fire pit, and hot tub were also great bonuses to enjoy. The hosts were communicative and we would definitely stay again in the future.
The house had everything we needed. The area is a perfect respite - great hiking spots and so quiet! No light or sound pollution at night. We loved our stay.
Everything was amazing. Such a great place to bring the family and unwind. Host checked in multiple times making sure everything was going well to make sure our stay was great. Town was close to grab last second things for fun as well as short drives to a handful of activities. House and pond was amazing. The kids and i caught more fish than we could count. We will be back for sure.
We had a fantastic stay for Thanksgiving week! The house was immaculate and well-stocked, and the communication with the hosts was clear and friendly. We enjoyed playing in the yard and relaxing in the hot tub, and the layout of the house was perfect for our family. We loved our stay and hope to be back soon!
My family had a great time staying at this cute little slice of heaven. Very quiet and relaxing. Furnished nicely, kitchen nicely stocked, and very pet friendly. Highly recommended
Great location, very clean, detailed instructions to make everything easy, extras that other places don’t pay attention to, and host is very responsive and nice to work with. We’ll certainly consider going back…

Thank you for staying with us! We really loved hosting you and your fam. Hop to have you back soon!
We truly loved our stay here had everything we needed and more host was super communicative and super friendly and helpful. We love the whole area lots of local trails to hike, restaurants, and shopping. AAAA+++++
We had such a nice stay! We loved fishing and swimming in the pond. The pond is deep and you don’t even feel any seaweed in it when you swim. Very refreshing and relaxing weekend. Thank you!
Vry nice property, Everything we needed was at hand. The owners were wonderful. Our only complaints were that the pots and pans in the kitchen could use replacing. Some had rust on the cooking surface. Also we stepped on lots of carpenter ants.
We loved our stay at the property and the hosts were very attentive. The binder helped us learn everything we needed to know for our stay. The pond was great for swimming and there was plenty of space for our dog to run outside. At night with the lights out, the stars were incredible. Couldn’t ask for a better experience. They kids are already asking for us to book it again for next year.

Thanks for a great review Brian and for being great guests!! So happy the family enjoyed themselves! You guys are welcome back anytime
Stayed at this place with a few friends for a long weekend in October and I have to admit it was nothing short of amazing! The house, inside & out, had everything we needed. The hot tub and paddle boat were a ton of fun and the game room is great for when it sprinkles and/or you want to stay up late. All in all a great experience and we will definitely be back soon!

Thank you for staying with us!! We would love to host you guys again soon
The property was absolutely breathtaking when you pull up there is it beautiful pond in the backyard with a peddle boat gas fire pit, woodburning fire pit, hot tub, and so much more even all the little details on the inside of the lodge were thought of by the owners who went above and beyond to make sure that we were comfortable and had everything we needed during our stay we highly recommend staying at this property. We have already booked our next trip back.!
My Wife and I booked this house for a quick quiet “Honeymoon” as we just wanted a complete slow down for after the wedding and also wanted to bring the dog along!
The backyard highlighted our stay as it should for everyone and it brought a beautiful sense of serenity.
House was super clean, welcoming and had all the essentials you would need and if we needed ANYTHING the host was a text message away!
This was a perfect place for our family- the kids loved the pond (fishing & floating on their tubes). We all enjoyed just hanging out on the back patio area, listening to the birds- it was so peaceful. Also, the hot tub was amazing and the beds are very comfortable! Derek was great with communication and very helpful— we’ll definitely be back!!

GO BILLS!!!
Everything you wanted on a vacation and then some. The house was prefect in every way. It had everything you needed. The communication was excellent with the owners. I would highly recommend the vacation home. I would do it again. Thank you
Everything was perfect, the lodge is beautiful, clean and spacious. Hot tub in the back, firepit and we loved the game room in the basement. Will definitely come back when the weather gets better. Hosts were easy to access if we had too. Nothing negative to say at all
