We took in the fireworks in Utica and stopped to check out the Velvet Ice Cream shop just a few minutes away. Probably the best part was enjoying a fire circle at the back of the property near the river. The home is very comfortable and has the best stocked kitchen of any we've been to in quite some time. We recommend this home and will stay again when we come back. ##### Lisa F. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heather H.
