A group of 8 stayed between Dec 27 and Jan 3. The house is beautiful, spotless clean and equipped with absolutely everything you might need It is comfortable for 8 people, could easily accommodate 10. The host is very helpful and quick to respond. There was a lot of snow which made our stay even better. We had a wonderful time and would recommend.
This place is amazing! Super clean and filled with everything you’ll need to have a great time regardless of the time of year. The decorations were updated for the holiday season and everything was spotless.
The property is beautiful, and the house was perfect for three couples. It was clean and well equipped, we really enjoyed our stay. The host was responsive and very accommodating.
We stayed here for my son’s RN pinning at SUNY Canton. It was fantastic! The weather was great. We were able to use the paddle boards and kayaks. Cheryl was an awesome host. The beds were so comfortable and the views were amazing.
This was a great economical way to have the whole family down for graduation. Sleeps ten easily. Fun things to do inside and out. Also plenty of room to prep meals. Everything you need is available. Host was very accessible and helpful. Would highly recommend this property
