This property was just lovely. There isn’t a thing they didn’t think of to make our stay comfortable. The cottage was supplied with everything you would need. It was clean, cozy and comfortable. Sitting out on the deck watching the sunset was peaceful and beautiful. We highly recommend staying here. Paul and Debbie are wonderful hosts.

Great stay! Very clean and amazing hospitality. They’ve thought of every detail. The drive to the house is definitely an adventure-I would try to arrive during daylight hours to get the hang of navigating it the first time. The sunset view and peaceful quiet were amazing.

It was perfect for the 4 of us. Well appointed. The hosts were wonderful. We were going to rent 2 extra kayaks but they generously dropped off 2 extra. Very easy to work with.

It was a cozy cottage with everything we needed for our stay at the house and within a few steps was the magnificent Cayuga Lake. Honoco Rd is a slow drive, but if you venture out, the state park is close by and it’s just a short drive into the charming town of Aurora.

Everything was as described. It is a long 10-mph drive on the mostly one-lane road into the property, but it's worth it! Nice and quiet, good neighbors and a beautiful view.

We had such an enjoyable stay at Sunset retreat. The home had fantastic amenities and we were not in need of anything extra: the kitchen was stocked, games, and more. The views of the lake are amazing both from inside the house and the outdoor areas. Thank you for a special location to enjoy time away with friends! The sun sets magically on this side of the lake!

Sunset Cottage Getaway

We loved our stay at Sunset Cottage. Beautiful views of the lake. The house was well stocked and clean. We enjoyed the hot tub looking out at the lake. Great location for wine tastings if you don't mind a bit of a drive other than the 3 fairly close by. We would definitely book again.

Charming Cabin, Rough Road

We had a great stay! The cabin was super cute, cozy, and well-stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable visit. It had a charming vibe and made for a relaxing getaway. The only downside was that the water cooler needed a good cleaning, and the road leading to the cabin was long and a bit rough. But overall, it was a lovely spot and we really enjoyed our time there!

Fantastic and relaxing

Stayed over Christmas with our dogs and my MiL. Was a perfect holiday. Very quiet and scenic. The house and bunk house were clean and the perfect size for us. We found everything we needed to cook the holiday meals in terms of pots and pans ans serving dishes. The hot tub was a treat as well.100% going to try to come back in warmer weather

Sunset Retreat

This beautiful cottage, on Cayuga Lake, was the perfect relaxing getaway we had hoped for. All the comforts of home were provided. The scenery is beautiful. We enjoyed sitting lakeside, either on the deck or by the fire pit. The well provisioned firewood stack was much appreciated! Sunset Retreat is in our plans for a turn visit.
