“This is a gorgeous and spacious lake home with plenty of amentities for adults and child. 5 Stars!!!!” This property is on a gorgeous location on top of a small hill. The view of the lake from the house is breathtaking. Our group enjoyed our stay thoroughly and we took full advantage of the amenities in the property like out door fire pit, hammock, boats/kayak allowed by the home-owner to be used by us. The house has enough space--we were a group of 9 people and the space was ample however there is only one shower so that might be a limitation. the kitchen was very spacious and had all the stuff needed for cooking. It would have been nice if there was a functional grill for using outdoors--the one that was there was kind of old and did not work very well. There was some strange odor in the dishwasher but that might be because of its limited usage. Overall, this place is highly recommended for vacation stay. The owners were really nice and friendly and the view and location is absolutely spectacular! My Response Thank you for your kind words. I do want to say that we have replaced the outdoor grill. I'm sorry you had trouble with it. I checked the dishwater also but could not smell or see anything in the trap. We disconnected the plumbing to examine and clean. Whatever the odor was, it's gone. My apologies. I am glad you enjoyed yourself. Upon your next visit, you can enjoy our new 16x30 log railing deck we just finished 8/19/14! Appreciatively Yours, Shawn Skeele

“Perfect retreat” I rented this place with three college friends for our annual reunion. My one regret is that we only stayed 3 nights; we could have spent twice that to take advantage of everything in the region. The cabin is compact, but the open layout of the kitchen and living room was really conducive to hanging out and relaxing. All the appliances worked well, and the kitchen had most everything we needed to prepare meals. Between the bedrooms and the futon on the porch, it slept four easily. Most important, the place was extremely clean, and the shower had plenty of pressure and hot water; what more could four women want! All of my dealings with the owner were by email, but he was very responsive and made sure we had directions and everything else we needed to get to and into the cabin. He also provided great suggestions for restaurants, wineries, and other local attractions. While not in a touristy area, the location was central to many Finger Lake attractions. It was about 20 minutes to Watkins Glen or Corning, a little longer than that to the wine regions, and less than an hour to Ithaca. All in all, it was a nice place to come home to after a day of hiking, sightseeing, or shopping.
