So much fun and extraordinary hospitality
My adult children, spouses, and grandkids ranging in age from 7 months to 20 all had an absolutely wonderful time hanging out in this spacioius house, swimming and hot tubbing, playing pool, and cooking in the well-stocked kitchen. Two in our family even braved the river for a cold dunk before suana. The hosts were wonderfully responsive and helpful. Everyone had a blast. Highly recommend.

Spacious House
The house was very spacious for our group that stayed for a long weekend. We had plenty of room for everyone for dinner and hang out. The view from the house was beautiful and relaxing. The house is set off by itself so it was very peaceful and quiet! It was an older home and could use some updates but we were extremely happy with our time there. The stairs in the house were very narrow but there are rooms both upstairs and downstairs to accommodate people. Would stay again!

Great weekend getaway with friends
Seven adults friends were looking for a place to stay to bike on the Erie Canal Trailway and take in the solar eclipse and this fit the bill perfectly. The beds were comfortable, kitchen was fully stocked, Water pressure was good. We cooked two full breakfasts and two dinners and supplies and cookware were right what we needed. The pool table was used and the hot tub was perfect. the sun room at the rear of the house could be opened wide on each side which was nice. All in all the house contributed to a perfect weekend

We booked this property for a weekend trip with our basketball girls and parents- the home had plenty of space to accommodate each family and plenty of all the basic necessities to cook for them and keep them entertained. They loved the hot tub and sauna- the pool table was also a huge hit and having 3 bathrooms for 5 families was amazing! The living room was spacious enough to toss air mattresses into for the kids to merge together and each bedroom had enough space for an air mattress as well for those kids that wanted to sleep with their parent. The property is beautiful and in a beautiful location- private and secluded but also within minutes of our tournament and a lot of stores. We will definitely be interested in booking this home again for our next visit to Syracuse with our team 🏀!

Great value, beautiful location!
The house sits out on a point on the Seneca River, so you have beautiful water views everywhere you look. Tons of room. Owner was very responsive. Perfect hub for our son’s wedding.

Perfect vacation
The property was exactly as presented on line. It was roomy and exactly what our large and varied group needed. The heated pool, lawn space for yard games and the river for fishing and boating provided plenty of out door fun for all ages. Inside there are multiple tv’s a pool table, wifi and even a tread mill. We never ventured beyond the property for entertainment.

Family vacation
The house has plenty of room for spreading out. There are many levels to the layout with lots of stairs. The stairs going upstairs are steep with narrow treads and the bottom step is not as high as the rest. We had to watch our 2 year old grandson with all the stairs. The bathrooms and kitchen were clean and the beds were comfortable. The pool was very nice and the grandkids and adults enjoyed it. We had to cleanout some debris, but that comes with any pool. Overall was a good place to stay and enjoy family. The area was nice to enjoy fishing, kayaking, biking and walking. There is a canoe on site to use, but we brought our own kayaks, fishing gear and bikes. Baldwinsville was a nice small town with many eateries. There is also easy access to grocery stores. The area is quiet and not much river traffic. We would definitely stay again.

Nice property and area
No problems with the property. Owner would respond to any questions. Boat launch is useful and deep enough. Caught some nice bass on the river. Water was stained brown, not sure if it was from storms in the area. Water temperature was 74-78 degrees. Pool was nice. We would rent this again, but it appears it is already booked next year. Thanks

Great location with issues
I’ll start with the good. We loved the location with access to the river & pool. We didn’t actually get in or on the river, but Karl did say we could use the canoe. I was the only one who wanted to take a boat ride and I didn’t want to do it by myself. We did enjoy the geese & ducks that came for a visit. The pool was a little dirty but not enough to stop us from using it. I feel like Karl would have gotten it cleaned if we asked. He was quick to respond to any questions we had. There were plenty of floats, diving toys and a basketball stand. There is a really nice bed & bath on the upper level, but my husband & I didn’t use it. Which brings me to the first bad point. This probably isn’t a bad point for everyone but it is for me. There are many small, steep stairs to get to the upper level. I have a defective foot and stairs scare me in general. I’m a constant fall risks so after one trip upstairs, I decided to stay on the main level. I think the main level bed with the double doors was very comfortable. I didn’t like the bathroom that was next to that bedroom though. The shower had great water pressure but it was very small. And the towel rack isn’t close enough to the shower. There isn’t a wall close enough to put it elsewhere. In general, the whole place was dusty & dirty. Needs a good spring cleaning. I wouldn’t stay again because of the upper level, but if that & the dust doesn’t bother you it’s a nice place to stay.

Riverside Family Gathering
This riverside property and home provided a perfect backdrop for our family gathering. We enjoyed the views and gathering around the pool and had ample space for entertaining our family for a post graduation party. Although the Seneca river is not nearly as big, being on the river brought back memories spent on the St Lawrence river. Lots of wildlife to enjoy while watching boaters traversing the river. We saw a beautiful bald eagle, blue heron, and adorable river otters too! For those looking for a walk, it is an easy stroll to the quaint town of Baldwinsville where one can enjoy a bite to eat at a number of eateries or settle on a bench in the park near the canal locks.

Family get away
We had a wonderful time, the house was so large we could all have our own space and be together. 8 Adults and 2 children. Karl was very helpful and responded fast. Beautiful views, pool was a highlight. If your looking for a place in that area this is THE PLACE. Docks needed work but did not interfere with our plans and we never got the kayaks out. Stairs going to second floor very narrow. Just use caution and use railing, my husband did slip and fall down last 4 stairs to family room. We would go again. Highly recommend.

Beautiful Property
The property is beautiful. My family and I had a wonderful time. I would definitely stay here again! Tip to guests- the house smelled musty at first, but was much better after opening up the windows for a little bit (probably just from being closed up between rentals). To Karl- thank you for a wonderful mini vacation! My family and I did not want to leave. 🙂 We had a small gathering there for my birthday and everyone had a great time. The sun room is amazing! Thank you again. 🙂

Never will I stay here again.
Pretty awful experience at this property. To start, when we arrived at the property in the evening (Tuesday 10/4), the electricity was completely shut off by the power grid due to no one paying the bill. We could not stay there with no power because the outside temperature dropped to 40° and we have an 8 month old. The owner said there was a generator at the property that would automatically turn on, but yet it failed to do so when we arrived. The owner promised to pay our hotel bill for the evening, yet did not do that. We ended up not staying at the property the next day due to still no electricity and a generator that only powered about 1/3 of the house. The electricity was supposedly turned on (Thursday 10/6), but at that point we had already requested a refund. To which, the owner only refunded what we paid per night and not the cleaning fee nor the property damage fee (both of which should have been refunded as well). We came from Houston, TX to visit my grandparents and had high hopes for this property, but it was overall a very terrible experience and we’ll never book at the property or with this owner again.

Wow 1st read for me of review, except for power being out on arrival a little off. I had a tenant prior to offering as VRBO who apparantly never paid power co. in an effort to collect from them, they disconected power in error even though they had been informed of tenants departure and that would automatically revert to landlord billing activation. I had left at noon after making sure property was ready for renter arrival, all was good. Between then and 7pm when renters arrived power shutoff, I did not know why nor did I know why whole house generator had not come on. as I was an hour away and they were tired from traveling I offered to put them up in a hotel, 3 rooms due to party size and I would investigate. they refused my paying saying wanted to control, not sure what that was about but was repeatedly asking what I could do. I contacted Power co and they said shutoff for non pay which was not right. Until 7 am next day when customer service started the day nothing could be resolved. I arrived at property 1.5 hour after call and found generator was off not on Auto. Hit switch and power not 2 hours after notification. Ironically if generator had been in auto mode power co would likely have shut off gas as well. temperature in home had not even dropped below 65. Contacted renter and we agreed to meet back at property at 8 AM and they were planning to stay. I arrived at 810 and they had been there and gone not satisfied with running from generator until land line power restored which was to be by nine am next day with best efforts to get done same day as was there error. power was restored by 4 same day. Again I asked what they would like to do and they said they wanted a refund. I agreed and initiated a refund, which I was not obligated to do. Apparently the amount I can give is not 100% and system only allows me to give my portion as part is vrbo fee, so until they cancel cannot get it all. later that day we got that resolved as well and they received full refund. They never stayed at property and had they chosen differently the event would have been no more than a speed bump.
