This house is absolutely perfect! It is beautifully decorated and maintained and is located in a lovely community. We were in town for a family reunion in Pulaski and this was the perfect distance from my family’s lake house. The communication with the property manager was exceptional and prompt and I would look into staying at the other locations if I am ever in those areas. Would be back in a heart beat if it stayed pet friendly! ##### Jennifer B.

Salmon River Fishing Trip! The cottage was simply beautiful and as described in the ad. The communication with them was above fantastic. Best I'd ever had. The only thing that could have made the stay better would be if the lake had water. Not the owners fault. The association was doing maintenance. Sunsets were beautiful. I would definetly recommend them. ##### Jamie F.

The house had all the modern amenities we could want and was well stocked with all the basic necessities (cooking utensils, paper products, etc.) They even had a a welcome basket with little treats (cookies, popcorn, Hershey Kisses) and a bottle of wine on the kitchen counter when we walked in. The view was awesome! Even thought we were warned that the lake had been drained for construction on the damn, we had a good rainfall Friday night and woke up Saturday to a beautiful nearly full lake! I can say, by far, that this was the nicest home we stayed in with the friendliest and most communicative hosts! I would absolutely recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet getaway! ##### Tommy K. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### vincent C. 13 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Perfect Place to Relax We thoroughly enjoyed our weeklong stay at this beautiful Villa. As soon as we walked in the door, we were greeted with a welcome note from the host, a couple of bottles of local wine and a complete smore-making kit we put to good use later that week at the lakeside fire circle. The house was perfectly clean and ready for our stay. The master bedroom has large glass sliding doors that open to a large deck overlooking the lake - the perfect place for that first morning cup of coffee or a glass of local wine to end the day. The kitchen drawers and cabinets were carefully labeled so guests didn't need to root randomly through every spot looking for a can opener or grill tongs. The kayaks provided hours of fun and some really great fishing as well. And for those who wanted something a little more relaxing, the rocking chairs and covered bench on the dock provided serene place to unwind after a busy day. We also spent some time exploring Salmon River Falls Park, some excellent restaurants and a winery on the shores of Lake Ontario just a short drive away. We will DEFINITELY be returning! ##### vincent C.
