It was a nice property and we had good communication with the host. Overall, we had a pleasant stay at the property. However, we felt that the cleaning could have been more thorough before our check-in. A few areas could benefit from extra attention to ensure a perfect experience for future guests.

A pleasant, almost nostalgic two-day stay. Reminded me of the cottages of the lake vacations of my childhood - but with internet (which worked well), nicer plates, mugs and glasses, and a better refrigerator. The best thing: the cottage is surrounded on two sides by water with large windows to admire the view. Neighbors were quiet. Unfortunately, at least one window screen was broken allowing bugs into the house making sleep difficult. Two of the three bedrooms have a window air conditioner, but they were a bit noisy.

weekend getaway

We came to the finger lakes for a little get away. We love the Cayuga region because of the wineries, the town of Aurora and Mackenzie Childs studio. This little lake side cottage is very close to all of these things. It is a quaint, quiet little cottage that was perfect for our stay.

Best Sunsets in America

This cottage was the sweetest little lakeside gem. The beds were super comfortable and the kitchen has cottage-core charm. We had everything we needed to grill, relax on the hammock and enjoy ourselves on the water. My family loved being on the water, soft towels and wide selection of DVDs/CDs. Everything was clean & cozy. We can’t wait to come back!

Be carful

we left earlier then scheduled we couldn’t spend the evening outside because of the bugs (no bugs trumps ) Most of the windows were missing nets so couldn’t open windows We were not able to have a good night sleep as the beds were not comfortable And the AC were to noise And when I asked the owner to reimburse me for one night, she then start threatening me that she will take more money

Great Lake getaway

This property was quiet, easy to get to, and convenient for our family of 5. We have a boat and drove straight across the lake to a great marina/restaurant one night, hung out in a cove with a bunch of other boats and kids our’s played and swam with one sunny day, swam off the dock, and traveled quickly to local town of Union Springs for anything we needed including boat launch and a few local wineries. Thank you Bonnie for your great communication!

Quick summer trip

Stayed for 3-nights to celebrate my mom’s 81st birthday. My 15 year old son came too. Enjoyed the rustic fishing cottage and property but we also were elsewhere visiting family during our trip. There were many spiders which I tried my best to shuttle outside. Each room has individual a/c which is necessary in summer heat. Saw many birds including a Blue Heron in early morning. My son caught a couple perch fishing. This is a great summer low key fishing/water edge access property.

Cayuga cottage

The cottage on this property is in very poor condition. The location of the property is at the end of a 3/8 mile long, one lane, dead end gravel road with several other cottages on it. There is NO room to turn a truck and boat around, fortunately the neighbor was kind enough to let us use there property. There is no dock on this property, which the host informed me of before our visit. All appliances/amenities were in good working condition.

Absolutely the best view of the lake with beautiful sunsets!

Absolutely the best view of the lake with beautiful sunsets! This home is very well-maintained and was very comfortable for myself and my family. Everything that we needed was at our fingertips… Dishes, flatware, towels, etc. The gas grill was really a plus! The only issue we had was with the outdoor furniture which was covered with cobwebs. I suggested to the owner that she have this cleaned up before her next visitor. Other than that, everything was great!

Weekend getaway to tour Cayuga lake by boat

Was great to be able to dock the boat at the cottage -(22 ft criss craft). The water was very shallow until you get out to the marker, I think our prop even hit bottom once so be careful what size boat you have. Once you're in the middle of the lake, it was great. We hit Wolfy's for dinner - directly across the lake and hit several wineries the next day - most on the other side of the lake. The cottage was cute and comfortable although the bathroom/shower stall was super small. The fire pit was great and we had the most beautiful sunsets! We were close to a couple stores for food and supplies. Also, not very far from Wheel House restaurant and marina which was nice for dinner one night.

Long weekend away with our adult children

It was a very private and relaxing property. The inside was very rustic (perfect for lake property) and had everything we needed. The view and the sunsets were gorgeous. We were able to float in the water which was a big want list for me. The water was like bath water! My son and Daughter-in-law especially loved fishing off the side of the dock. We all enjoyed the comforts of the inside along w/the all the outside had to offer. Bonnie was a pleasure to work with and got back to us right away with any questions and/or concerns we had.
