Jul 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Refreshing and Relaxing This house on Little York Lake provided the relaxation we hoped for. Our teen son was up before the sun on the kayak in pursuit of bass, and sunfish. He beamed with each day's report so happy to have the freedom to explore the lake on his own. We met the neighbors and made quick connections with them. Our dogs lived their best life jumping from the dock and swimming to meet the kayakers. The AC units kept up with the demand of an unusually hot June. For us native CNYers who are now transplants to others areas (TX and FL) it was such a great getaway to "home." Highly recommend. ##### Melissa S. Stayed 8 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matt M. May 9, 2025 ##### Matt M. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maria Z.
