It was a little tricky to find the location at night since there are 2 separate drive ways for the guest house and cottage - look for the botanical hill sign or American flag post.

I had an awful time dealing with Vacation Rentals. The property owner was wonderful to deal with but Vacation Rentals really suck. I could not reach a human being and compared to other rental agencies this is by far the worst. Fortunately the owner saved the day. ##### Helen P. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lucinda K. Jul 14, 2019 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Place not cleaned well, AC in guest house not working, no wash machin in guest house Beautiful property site, and despite the many inconveniencies and lacking supplies we had a wonderful family vacation - loved the volleyball net, etc and fishing was fantastic in son’s boat. This could be a first rate vacation site if more attention paid to having a thorough spring cleaning including cleaning gutters, outside decks and deck furnishings, kayak boats, broken paddle boat, filthy barbecue grill, pest control both inside and out, cleaning windows and window ledges, decks at beach and guest house. For large groups need dishwashers in each place. Kayaks filthy and needed to clean them ourselves. Beds good. Rental houses not set up with same cooking supplies. Missing pans and kitchen supplies in one house but well stocked in other house - also towels ok in one house not other. Blender and washing machine in one place, not the other. Need good broom and dust pan in each house plus workable vacuum cleaners in each house. With renting both places, houses needed to both be adequately supplied. Also no operating instructions for TVs so couldn’t use - streaming instructions. Wifi not working most days plus spotty cell phone connections. Need to tell renters ahead of time that there are inadequate services. Need to have information listed in ie- a notebook - how to contact owner; passwords for Wifi, garbage and recylables - when collection, what to recycle and how to separate items, where to go for groceries, dock boat, sites to visit nearby. What all renters need to bring not furnished by owner as stores to shop at are a goid distance away. Sorry to make this many complaints but would really like this owner to be a successful VRBO renter as the prospects are great as the property is fabulous. Best wishes and good luck in your future repairs to a great facility! ##### Lucinda K. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Damien T. Aug 15, 2018 #### Beautiful property for our large family We had a family reunion and there was plenty of space for everyone. There was plenty of space for our large group to be together as a group and for areas where individuals could be on their own. The property is quiet large and we felt isolated from the neighbors which was a great benefit especially when on a lake. We spent plenty of time on the lake. The Kayaks and peddleboat were a huge hit with the group. Dave does a great job of keeping us updated on our trip and provided a wonderful environment for us all. Thanks Dave and your team!! ##### Damien T. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rosalie P. Aug 11, 2018 #### Perfect! Everything about this rental was what it said and so much more! The waterfront, the acreage and houses were absolutely beautiful! The owner David and property manager Josh were both very accommodating and always available by phone. Our family vacation was perfect and I will be back! Thank you for everything! ##### Rosalie P. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laurie J. Jul 26, 2018 #### Beautiful Property!! We had 32 people (adults and kids) stay here for a family reunion. Used all 3 homes. The property is large and beautiful. Plenty of outdoor space for volleyball, wiffle ball, corn hole and evening fires. We had beautiful weather so we were outside most of the time. Dock area is great and the view is gorgeous! Loved having access to the kayaks and paddle boat. The homes are somewhat dated, but the owner is in the process of updates and what was done so far looked great! Took at day trip to Niagara Falls (2.5 hr drive) and hiked Watkins Glen (1/2 hour drive); location was great - close proximity to these attractions was wonderful as well as the having the ability to just stay there and enjoy the lake and property. And of course, do a few wine tours! Overall we had a great stay and for all 32 people to say that is something!! Dave the owner and Josh the property manager were available and responsive anytime we had a question. A breaker blew for the AC in one of the homes and Josh came right over to take care of it. Both of them wanted to make sure we had everything we needed to have a great reunion. And we did! ##### Laurie J. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathy T. Jul 22, 2018 #### Beautiful setting for a great family time, plenty of space for all. Our time at Botanical Hill was spent with five related families coming together from age 1 year old to over 80. The accommodations were more than adequate, everyone was comfortable with plenty of personal space. The houses were clean and well stocked, better than other rentals our group have rented in the past. The property was charming, with the lake easily accessible and plenty of grounds for a variety of activities. There were many things to explore in the surrounding areas, meeting a lot of different perferences. Our thank you to the owner for sharing this lovely setting that resulted in many great memories. ##### Kathy T.
