The house has all the amenities you could want, everything was clean and well maintained. We brought our own boat for fishing and used the dock for swimming and kayaking. Everyone has a great time!
This was our 2nd stay at the property. Host thinks of everything! One of the best VRBO experiences available!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Overall, a good stay, and a great location. House had great amenities, beds very comfortable. Felt like we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. However, be aware that the host stays directly on the property the entire time. We didn’t enjoy them mowing grass during our stay there without a heads up. Felt like that could’ve waited until we checked out.
We really enjoyed our visit. Our host, Margaret was quick to respond to any issues. We loved the location to amenities and access to the lake. It’s an easy home to accommodate guests and our dogs. Other than the boat dock needing to be replaced, we loved our stay. The fire pit and back patio were wonderful with a 180 degree view. Views from two of the bedrooms were appreciated, as well. The sunroom was especially amazing. The kitchen and bathrooms were well equipped. All appliances, water pressure and systems worked perfectly. The labeling of switches and kitchen drawers was very helpful. Thank you, Margaret! We hope to visit again.
The property has everything you can ever want . was just like being in my own home. Even had a backup generator just in case. the floor wall all wood plank vinyl which made it very easy for cleanup if you have pets.
A perfect place to spend a week at the finger lakes. The house was very well appointed with furniture and accessories. The host was wonderful I can’t wait to return next year.
The house was awesome and exactly as described! It was the perfect lake house getaway! Margaret has also gone above and beyond to make the home pet friendly. Would love to stay here again!
Great property and location, incredible amenities, VERY clean, responsive and caring host, enjoyable stay.
Stayed for 4 days with our family and our dog and had an amazing and relaxing time. Margaret is an incredible host and always available to help.
Perfect spot for our Cayuga stay. House is cozy and dog friendly. Hard to beat that combo in such an amazing lake front property. 10/10 would recommend for travelers with or without canine companions.
This house is beautiful and the stay we had with our French bull dog was better than any other home we have rented in the Finger Lakes. It had everything you need to enjoy your stay from the time you walk in. The deck is big and it was so peaceful relaxing on it as we began our day. The owner is so sweet and allows you to enjoy your time spent without interruption. Our favorite restaurant is Port Cafe and it was a short 20 minute drive. Plenty of vineyards and breweries around. Our pup loved the fenced in play area. It allowed us peace of mind that he had an area for him. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone wanting to enjoy a vacation in the Finger Lakes. Beautiful Peaceful and plenty of privacy.
This home is right on the lake. Inside is well appointed and is bigger than the photos convey. The backyard has a lovely porch to sit and relax while enjoying the view of the lake. The fenced in yard space for the dogs was awesome. We will be back!
A perfect getaway for our family and our one year old Bernese. We spent most of our time on the patio , the fire pit and floating in the lake. This house has the most comfortable beds, a kitchen that is equipped( we like to cook as a family). Our Bernese even had his own fenced in yard.We have booked a return visit.
This property was the perfect low key, dog friendly, lake vacation. It was our first time taking our dog on vacation and it was perfect. The home was fully equipped for all our needs. Easy access to the lake. We rented a pontoon boat and the dock was convenient. The owner was very attentive to all our needs. Will definitely stay again.
2nd time staying. Hostess is wonderful and prompt if any questions or problem.
There were 6 adults, plenty of room. Beautiful deck that overlooks the lake, beautiful sunsets. Dock is close for boat.
We are looking forwsrd to our next stay.
This was our second stay at Margaret’s lake house! Everything was beautiful and we all had so much fun. Margaret has covered all the details. Too many superlatives to list! Thank you Margaret- we will definitely be back.
The house was very clean when we arrived. the kitchen was very organized and well labeled. The view of the lake can't be beat!
I was able to dock my 18 ft deep V boat without any problems, although the dock is a bit shallow. Keep the motor trimmed up and it's fine.
House was great. It was so clean. Very roomy and great for my dogs as well. Margaret was such a wonderful host....thank you so much! My family and i had such a great time. We brought our boat. The lake was beautiful!!!

I live on the property, in the guest house by the road with Luna, a Bull Terrier mixed. She was adopted on Thanksgiving 2018. She is friendly and likes to bark when she meets someone new or greets a friend. The boathouse is not part of the rental. It is only for private use and occasionally for friends.
