We have stayed in many places around the Finger Lake region and this is by far our favorite. This was our second time staying here and we plan on coming back next summer. The hosts are amazing! The house itself is beautiful and VERY clean. Our family loves the quiet neighborhood and the location. We can’t say enough good things about it and can’t wait to visit again!

Absolutely amazing! The property was spotless and very welcoming. We travel a lot and this has been by far the nicest property we have stayed in. Jill was very responsive and really nice.

The kids really enjoyed the pool and the playground. The house is large and well equipped. Plenty of room for our whole family. Very clean. The large dining room table fit all of us for dinner. There was also plenty of table space for outdoor dining. Our only complaint was that we would have liked a king bed in the master suite which is what we are accustomed to. The kids did not want to leave!

This was our first time visiting the Fingerlakes and we had a great time. We typically rent in the Poconos, and we were happy that the Fingerlakes has so much more to do. The house was a great size for our group. The short walk to the water was easy and the dock was great. I wish it would have been warmer when we were there so we really could have enjoyed the water and the pool. My kids used the playground and basketball hoop a lot instead. We did rent a pontoon boat from the local marina and that was a blast. We liked the updated bathroom on the main floor, and the basement seems new as well. The home could use some updated amenities though like new bedding, pillows and towels, and having things like shampoo/conditioner included. We rent a lot and that has become standard elsewhere and for the price of this rental I would have expected those. Minor changes that make a big difference but overall a good trip.

First family lake trip

Planned a fishing trip for the grandsons and chartered with Roy’s Boys (home owner recommended) and it was perfect. 6 grandkids ranging from 23 months to age 16. Plenty of places to sleep, easy access to the lake, not a lot of traffic, and plenty for the kids to do with games, basketball hoop, swingset, etc. We loved having the huge kitchen and large livingroom. Views from the front porch and dock were perfect. We didn’t use the pool because we were there in early/mid May but I’m sure it would have been used hard by the kids. Loved our family time there.

Lake house stay

The house was a perfect size and perfectly laid out for my group! The kitchen was large enough to cook for 12 in and enjoy all together. We really enjoyed the dock and kayaks provided- such a great added bonus with a beautiful view. We winery toured all day and enjoyed the grill, outdoor patio area, and fire pit at night.

Friends reunion

Friends gathering to celebrate meeting on trip to Italy. Decided to do a reunion in the Finger Lakes. The house was in a great location and perfect for the 10 of us to reunite. We did a sailing trip on Truelove Schooner on Seneca Lake and did a brewery / winery tour. So many very close to this location. The house was large with many gathering areas, clean and comfortable. Perfect for socializing and catching up. Great fire pit on the lake. Jill was great with answering questions in a timely and complete fashion and very welcoming. We are already talking about going back again. More great memories created on this trip.

Could not pick a better Host or location!

Location was perfect. Everything as promised and more. This was a vacation to reset and relax and we were able to do just. On the lake, incredible sunsets, pool was large and perfect temp, plenty of space for outdoor games. For inclement weather the home is spacious with plenty to do. However, we had 7 days of great weather. Every day your private dock and firepit on the water provided an incredible sunset. Most important, our host Jill was always accomodating and great to communicate with. We travel often and I'm scoring this stay: 5 stars! The Bouchane's

We purchased this home from my brother and sister-in-law when they had to move out of state to keep this home in our family. We live next door and hope to one day have our son or daughter living next door to us. As this is our family home we take great care in keeping the home in great condition.
