Quaint little place, perfect for a short stay as a couple or two people if one doesn't mind sleeping on the couch or an air matress.

A good place to get away!
The bed was very comfortable. I found the place a little dark, as all the windows are up in the front part by the kitchen. The kitchen worked out really well - had everything i needed! It was cold, damp and windy, and then snowed, so did not spend much time outside. I think I would love sitting in the yard or on the front porch in warmer weather. I liked that Amish buggies drove by and the road was very quiet. Also like that it is relatively close to Lake Ontario (maybe 15 miles) -- took a ride the first day to Oswego and then up to Mexico Point State Park. There are other state parks also along the lake just a bit up from Mexico Point.

Cute little cabin
Nice, cute little cabin, perfect for a quick stop. Reasonably priced. No shower or internet access but that wasn't a problem for us. My kid appreciated all the candy around!

Cozy Home Away from Home
This was such a cute little cabin to stay at while we explored the area and enjoyed being away from the city for the weekend. We stayed the weekend before the Fourth and had such a great night enjoying a fire in the back and watching fireworks in the distance. A really great stay and weekend overall. Thank you so much!!

A perfect little getaway
Comfy and cozy little cabin. The perfect place to get away from the hustle of daily life! Owners were very friendly. We were left sparkling cider and lots of candy! Definitely recommend for a rustic and quiet getaway.

You get what you pay for
No kitchen sink, no shower, mold that my dog got into, clogged toilet, and an overall bad smell drove us away from this property. We didn’t even stay longer than it took to clog the toilet and run the fowl smelling water in the bathroom sink which was supplied by a small water tank. My dog sniffed out all the mold right away. I should have read the listing better about the sink/shower. Very bad vibe about the whole thing.

There is absolutely no mold on the premises and the toilet has no clogs , im thinking you just didnt like that the place had no shower which is listed , i have cleaners come in after every stay and ive never got bad ratings over cleanliness , for 40 dollars a night , the cheapest in the area im sorry it isnt the marriot just a lil home away from home ...

Great little getaway spot!
The bed was extremely comfortable, the kitchenette had more than enough space for our purposes, and the view each morning was absolutely stunning. It’s also about 10-15 minutes from one of the best diners I’ve ever had the pleasure of going to- The Grist Mill. Could not ask for more. Only two things - The toilet does not have a lot of pressure, be prepared to plunge any solids. The TV is on it’s last legs- video quality isn’t great. They do have some pretty good DVDs though!

Cute Secluded Cabin
We didn't arrive until later at night but the GPS location was spot on and the cabin was lit up so we found it easily. Cute little space, done with a romantic theme. Space was perfect for a overnight get away. Although the temps did dip pretty low that night, the electric fireplace kept up nicely and we were very comfortable.

Perfect cabin retreat
We had a beautiful stay, this property is adorable! Very clean and well-kept, cozy, and quiet. It looks like a fairy house! We appreciated the sweet extras and enjoyed all the cute decor. It’s quiet and rural enough to relax, but a short drive from restaurants and store. Perfect weekend hideaway.

Holiday break getaway
The owners are very thoughtful and helpful! It has small town vibes and you might even catch a horse and buggy going down the road! The owners are close by and always ready to help, even salted for us when it snowed, if you don’t like the cold it would make a great spring vacation!!!
