Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a few days away from the "madness". Thank you! ##### Brian L. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chloe N.

Jul 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Private and relaxing home with a view This very private home had every we were looking for and more. I overpacked because I didn't realize how well-stocked it was. We loved it so much that we booked it again for next year before we left. We only left once during a 4 night stay and I was never bored; I especially loved hanging out by the shore with the dock, fire pit, and loons, turtles, and an osprey that frequent the area. ##### Krista F.

Britney was very responsive. Fishing was decent despite night rains and hot days. We rented a pontoon from the local resort on the lake, which was convenient. Would definitely recommend. ##### Tim C.

Appreciated all the amenities; great space for our family of Mom, Dad and 4 kiddos! The property was clean and comfortable. Really enjoyed the large deck, the hot tub and lake dock.

Our kids are ages 3 and 7 and they had tons of fun with the playground, toys, lily pad, games, bikes, and other activities. The lakefront was just gorgeous and we made awesome memories on the water with our kids. The paddle board was particularly fun for the adults to try. The kitchen was set up so well to cook and the indoor and outdoor areas were spacious to eat and hang out. We had everything we needed except more time. Hope to come back again! ##### Alycia O.

We really enjoyed our time away. Property was even better than described. Everything we needed and more was there for us which was amazing! Best selection of kitchen items I’ve had yet at a property! Definitely appreciate that! We saw a deer and her fawn and some other deer, turkeys and their babies, love the loons on the lake and a hummingbird surprised me on the deck. The lake wasn’t super busy and we enjoyed exploring it. Lots of towns close by to explore too. Awesome communication to answer my questions. Thanks so much for sharing your property so others can enjoy it! ##### Andrea R. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angela V. Jun 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Lake Home - Perfect for Families! This lake home is simply lovely! Clean, modern decor, comfortable king bed, and very well stocked for everything a family needs. It's a home away from home for sure. Our seven and four year old absolutely loved catching sunfish and crappies off the dock, as well as swimming, going for rides on the double kayak and paddle board. And, of course we really enjoyed the awesome hot tub at the end of each day's adventures. We rented a fishing boat from a nearby resort for a day, which was also fun. And, spent a day at sandy Whipple Beach which was about 30 minutes away. We also spent a day at Cayuga bike trails, which was about 15 minutes away. There is so much to do for families both at the house and nearby. Recommend appropriate shoes for the steps to the lake and water. ##### Angela V. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Reuben W. Aug 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family gathering The property is out of town on a hill by a lake. Beautiful lake view from back deck, which was very peaceful to sit on in the morning and evening. The deck was also very well appointed with a grill, smoker, prep table, and ample seating with an umbrella. This area was the highlight of the property. The inside kitchen was well appointed, except we couldn't find a larger frying pan but made due and had plenty of dishes and silverware. Kitchen area had some house rules but some contradictory info in the book. We did our best to follow them. Living room area was ok and it was nice to have the roku. Seating was ok but was an awkward setup for our evening movie, the tv was very high. Main entry was nice. Plenty of space. However, there was not a handrail on the stairs to get to the main living area. The master bedroom was nice but no closet or any space for clothes. The other two bedrooms were nice KID rooms but not for adults. One room has only a double bed that made it difficult for my son and his fiancee to sleep in, it is not meant for a couple. The other room is bunkbeds that our adult daughter slept in. The house seems best for one couple with young kids. Getting down to and back up from the lake is difficult as there are a LOT of stairs with no handrails. We were disappointed as the beach is not really a sandy walk in type of beach. It is covered with larger algae covered rocks making it slippery and difficult to walk in the water. beach. It had huge rocks ##### Reuben W.
