The house was clean and had all the stuff you could need to enjoy your stay. Silverware, cups, plates towels, blankets, bedding ect. Just beware the low ceilings down stairs, they got my husband a few times. The lake and docks are stunning. The hot tub was very clean. All around a great stay. ##### Marina L. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jean D. Oct 31, 2024 #### A very special location While I agree that some of the furniture could stand to be replaced with more comfortable furniture, the location is really magical, imo. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes and implements for cooking. The majority of the beds were comfortable. What really makes the place special is all of the outdoor seating, the views, and the sense of a long history of enjoyment of the place over many years. I enjoyed the sense of being tucked away there, with little need to worry about any interference with our enjoyment of the location. The hot tub was delightful, as was the fire pit. We didn't use the boats, but it was out of season for them. Overall, I really loved how unique and personal the place was, making it feel like home. ##### Jean D. From a partner site ### 8/10 Good #### David S. Jul 2, 2024 #### Quaint and crawly. Beautiful setting for a summer get away on the lake! House had all the amenities you would need and has an upgraded stove which is not seen in the pictures. The clean could have been better for sure. And maybe keep an eye out for cobwebs inside the home. It’s understandable to have cobwebs on the outside of the house given its setting, but shouldn’t have excessive within the house. Also for future renters be mindful of where you park your car, or maybe bring a cover as there is an oily sap that drips from the trees. ##### David S. Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Charles G. Sep 21, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Great location and views Location was excellent with awesome views. However, the house is old with cobwebs and spiders. Could use a power wash. The house has only 1 shower and bathtub which would be quite inconvenient if 10 people were staying here. You have to walk through bedrooms to get to another bedroom….no real privacy. Kitchen very small with a table for 4\. We ate outside on the balcony or the patio. If you are safety conscious, the windows do not lock. Howver, the location seemed safe enough. Water supply to the house appears to be from the lake although bottled water is supplied for drinking. ##### Charles G. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Kiley H. Jul 25, 2024 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Dont rent this house House is filthy and full of pests. Spiders and silverfish in the sinks and cabinets. Cobwebs everywhere. Our kids were scared to sleep in their bedrooms due to the number of bugs and spiders. My wife spent the first night knocking all the spiderwebs down on the front porch. Enormous hornet next on the front gable. I contacted the property manager and asked them to call me but never heard from anyone other than text messages back and forth. Other than that the location is great and it has a view. ##### Kiley H. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Richard S. Aug 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Generally Great About 10 minutes north of Watkins Glen and an easy drive to Penn Yan, and wineries and antique stores, which is what we were after. Beautiful view and nice water access. Stairs to get to water. Nicely decorated and comfortable. We had four adults. Could have easily had more. I would have liked more comfortable furniture inside. Despite GPS or any other directions, do not access using North Glenora Road. Use South Glenora Road. Road to cottage is a difficult hairpin turn if you use North Glenora. A guest using a toilet should not be the way they find out that it is not functional. Vacasa maintenance said they could not fix due to low pressure and old plumbing, which means they knew it was an issue. Shower on the first floor bathtub on the second. Water front area had some furniture, two docks, a rowboat, canoe, and kayak. Despite my misgivings noted here, we really did like it, ##### Richard S. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 From a partner site ### 8/10 Good #### Cheryl S. Nov 1, 2023 #### Quirky House. Fantastic Location/Scenery You cannot beat the views, outside amenities and location. The house itself is old, Knick-knack filled and the kitchen stove actually a bit scary. We rented the house in October and we needed heat. Two gas fireplaces did not work and the gas stove had only 3 operational burners (which took a while to figure out… you had to wait 30 seconds for the pilot to catch on each burner). Maintenance came out to check gas fireplaces and stove and the guy had never even seen a stove this old! The electric heat units eventually heated up the house just fine. But the electric in general was fragile… we blew a circuit using the microwave and toaster at the same time. Easy to fix except the circuit box was covered by the new refrigerator… maintenance came out again to move fridge and access circuit box. Check out instructions and email asked we please start the dishwasher. It was portable and had to be hooked up to the sink… No instructions on how to do that… again maintenance (for a total of 3 separate visits) was quick and helpful. The beds were comfortable, but unusual to have a mirror above your bed in the master in a rental unit. Hot tub worked well, dock and fireplace were fantastic. Interactions with Vacasa were very friendly and helpful. ##### Cheryl S. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### lynn p.

We watched all of the weather (and it came in many forms) and it was impressive. ##### Jennifer A. Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Ellen A.

Very peaceful retreat tucked into scenic nature and surrounded by waterfalls. Kitchen and bathrooms were updated thoughtfully and we greatly appreciated the dog friendly amenities. The hot tub was a killer bonus! Highly recommended for nature lovers who appreciate a quiet and lovely experience. ##### Patrick L. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 From a partner site ### 6/10 Okay #### Elizabeth v. Aug 2, 2025 #### Beautiful location, but overpriced The cottage is just that - a cottage. Nothing fancy, a throw back to a simpler time. After owning an old cottage on a lake we thought we knew what to expect. While the location and views from the porch are lovely, the amenities leave a lot to be desired. I would have a hard time recommending Belle’s Buttercup to anyone else and feel we paid way more than we should have. ##### Elizabeth v. Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Georgine S. Jun 29, 2025 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication #### Beautiful scenic views from porch, but a ton of spiders inside House and outside house Beautiful property to stay at, nice location, not happy about all of the spiders that were all over the beds and hanging from the ceilings coming down at night and jumping out running across the floors when you’re trying to get ready for bed couldn’t go in the hot tub at night, cause it was loaded with spiders all around the hot tub given when you cleared them off of the room, they came right back, definite problem. ##### Georgine S.
