Very pleased wilth our short stay at this cottage. We were only there for two nights, visiting family nearby. Cottage was well equipped, would have been great to spend a week there and enjoy the comfort more. Hosts were very accomodating and very resonsive when I had a question. Would not hesitate to stay again if we were ever in the area. Cottage was easy to find, had easy access to the property and availablity of 110V outside power I used to charge my EV Car. The kitchen was neat and well appointed, although all we had there was coffee, which the host left for us. All in all it was very comfortable and more than met out expectations.

The property was in dire need of landscaping as the weeds were feet tall. The host was responsive and friendly.

Fishing trip to finger lakes

Enjoyed the place. Clean and neat. I have a 24' boat so the loop driveway made access and parking easy, which was much appreciated!

I stayed at this property for a month due to damage from frozen pipes at my lakefront property in Lodi. The house was perfectly located, allowing me easy access to my home as mitigation and repairs progressed. I appreciated the 1st floor bedroom, on same floor as the bathroom! I missed having a closet in the bedroom though. The kitchen was very well supplied, and I made frequent use of the washer/dryer combo. I was able to set the thermostat to a comfortable heat and hold it there. With frequent snow showers I was very glad to be able to park close to the front door. February and March were very cold, rainy and snowy. The sump pump in the basement ran a lot, producing occassional damp and musty odors. I admit I was very sensitive to this, as I was dealing with similar issues at my home.

We enjoyed our stay in the Finger Lakes. When we were there in early July, the temperatures rose to almost 100. The top bedroom was very warm and it took awhile for it to cool down. Otherwise, we enjoyed our time at the cottage and loved being in a central location to see so many different things.
