We were looking for a quiet place to stay to enjoy the Finger Lake region for a few days of our fall break and we definitely found the right place. The property owner put so many small touches in places that we felt spoiled and well taken care of during the entire stay- the fireplace was on when we arrived (and it was cold so it was wonderful); there were local carry-out menus, the house smelled amazing, there were even travel size toiletries in place in case we forgot something. The house is on a dead-end road which is quiet and has direct access to the state park lake pathway. We really enjoyed our visit. ##### Jennifer H.

We were greeted with a lovely welcome basket, nice cold ac and a meticulous house. The house layout gave everyone their own space. It was perfectly equipped with everything we would need to prepare meals and be comfortable. The children LOVED the lake and the game room. It was truly the perfect place to call home for the week and retreat to after exploring the beautiful finger lakes. We biked from the property to Sampson state park, watched sunsets from the dock and enjoyed firepits under the stars. Jill was so easy to work with. Her house is truly a gem And we cannot wait to come back! ##### Cait H.

When we entered the property we were greeted by a glowing fire in the fireplace and a beautiful welcome basket. The home was meticulously clean and beautifully decorated. Situated on the east side of the lake, the home takes advantage of the sunset with multiple patios, decks and expansive windows and doors. We also loved being right on Seneca Lake -just beautiful!! The owner was very attentive with making sure everything was satisfactory . . . Which of course it was beyond satisfactory! This is a very special property. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back! ##### Tyler and Trish T.

The finishes, furniture, and amenities are evocative of a very high quality home. The decor is fresh yet classic. No cheesy lake house/cottage vibes or smells here! It was incredibly clean upon arrival. The host puts a lot of thought into everything- we were even greeted with a sweet basket of goodies for New Year’s Eve! The game room was a great touch and full of high quality fun, but the lack of heat made it hard to enjoy in the winter when we stayed. It would be a huge attraction for kids in summer though! We stay in the FLX every New Year’s Eve and this house was the best one we’ve been to yet! Kudos to the host for her gorgeous place. ##### Kara O.

Stairway To Heaven certainly provided this. The home was simply gorgeous, just as advertised in the home description. But beware if you are of the older generation, there are a bunch of stairs to navigate but so well worth the effort! Jill was great, answering the questions we had almost instantly, helping us "old folks" figure out things like internet connections and smart tv's. Only complaint...the weather was abysmal but that only made this great home more relevant. Also take a moment to look up the history of the Willard area. Fascinating! ##### Jeff M.

The first thing I would like to mention is how communicative and accommodating Jill is. She quickly responded to any questions I had before our stay, and made our check-in extremely easy. The house is absolutely breathtaking, immaculate, and full of every amenity you could think of. The house is about a half hour drive south to Watkins Glen and Taughannock Falls, and a half hour drive North to Geneva where you can find some great restaurants. We rented a party bus to visit as many wineries as we could, then made it back to the house to see the AMAZING sunsets each day. We truly spent quality time with our family thanks to the kayaks, games, and fire-pit that Jill provided to us. This property goes above and beyond anywhere else we have ever stayed. Thank you, Jill, for sharing your beautiful home with us! ##### Roberta K.

The house was spotless and beautifully decorated. We felt at home immediately, it was warm and inviting. The house had everything, even throws in the living room, that our family enjoys at home. The rooms were cozy, the beds were comfortable and the view and sunsets were breathtaking. Jill thought of everything. We enjoyed kayaking, ping pong, cornhole, darts, air hockey and just relaxing on louges outside.It was peaceful on the lake and the area is quiet. We barbecued and made s'mores in the evening. We visited a winery and a few breweries and Watkins Glen State Park. We enjoyed the house immensely and would definitely return. The host Jill could not have been more helpful when we spoke with her before our stay. She answered all of our questions and was a joy to talk with. ##### Henry P. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kara G. 30 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy July 2025 is our second summer returning back to this luxury lake home. Jill is fantastic to communicate with and pays attention to all the small details throughout the house, and lakefront. We noticed several upgrades from the previous summer, which were added bonuses to what was already a very comfortable and relaxing experience. Our family consists of ages: 1,5,8,9,11,13, mid 40 adults and Grandma. There is something for everyone, no matter the age. The “floaty room” shouts water fun for the kids (with all the lake toys a kid can dream of using). The covered porch is great for crawling littles and Gma. The game room is a hit for all. Fishing was also really good for the boys this year. Jill has thought of everything- from the amazing towel warmers, luxury bedding & blankets to spare toiletries and the fully equipped kitchen (I could go on)! We used baby gates, a highchair and pack-n-play that were also provided. We took bike rides and stroller walks on the Sampson State path at the end of the street. To simply put it, just pack your suit, some lake cozy clothes and groceries. The rest is there for you upon arrival- we also loved the 1st birthday welcome basket for our younger little guy, which kicked off our week right. Thank you for another fantastic week! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bcea4c7d-aaca-45ba-80f0-b43e274517f2-1753900615671.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7c0f2018-4da7-4fae-adcb-0cae3d982d90-1753900614406.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/194d1e9b-eb9e-4b19-9829-a336414c6c2b-1753900614100.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/95731d29-5c40-4159-bd58-f02707eea20f-1753900613533.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kara G.
