The property is beautifully situated directly on the lake and has multiple kayaks and a peddle boat for excursions. The house is well stocked with kitchenware, grill etc…, and the AC was great for warm nights. Location is convenient to Penn Yan, and both Geneva and Watkins Glen are also easily accessible."
