Thank you so much for your 5-star rating and for sharing your experience with us! We’re thrilled to hear that the booking process was seamless and that you had a great stay
It was the perfect size for our small family. My son loved the yard and we loved the deck. Plenty of space for yoga. More than enough kitchen supplies for cooking home meals. Our old dog was perfectly comfortable. Thank you so much.

Thank you for the 5-star rating! We're so glad you enjoyed the house and those beautiful lake views. It’s wonderful to hear you had a great weekend—hope to welcome you back soon!
Beautiful place! A little bit spidery for the outdoor chairs and a bit of a hike to and from the car but otherwise one of the best VRBO stays we have had. Gorgeous view of the stars at night, lovely firepit, beautiful views of the lake and nearby everything the area has to offer. We'll definitely be back !

Thank you for the 10/10 rating! We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and that the views, outdoor space, and location made for a great experience. We appreciate your feedback and would love to welcome you back for another relaxing visit to the Finger Lakes!
The lake view was spectacular ! It is a very small place but cute , there were a lot of cob webs in the house and all over the chairs outside that should have been cleaned off before we arrived, spiders are expected at the lake I understand but cov webs that were old all over means no one bothered to clean them up . We still had a nice stay but would probably not return .

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the beautiful lake views and found the cottage charming. We’re very sorry, however, that the cobwebs impacted your first impression — that’s not the experience we aim to provide. Your comments have been shared with our housekeeping team to ensure this is addressed moving forward. We truly appreciate your honesty and hope you’ll consider giving us another opportunity to host you in the future.
Beautiful property unfortunately the algae blooms made the lake unusable. Neighbor said it happens every year in August. Should the algae be disclosed and price lowered after 8/1?

Thank you for your feedback and for choosing to stay with us. We’re glad you enjoyed the property, though we’re truly sorry to hear the lake conditions impacted your experience. Algae blooms can be unpredictable and are influenced by weather and environmental factors, but we understand how disappointing this can be. We appreciate your suggestion and will share your comments with our team for future consideration. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back under better conditions.
