Lovely Cottage

The property is lovely. It is spotless, updated (with working TVs/WIFI), in a central location and TRULY handicapped accessible. My mom is getting on in years and has limited mobility. She was comfortable here, as was my 90lb shepherd. Joe is a great host, who is knowledgeable about the area and shared helpful information about local shops etc. We can't wait to come back.

Quaint get-away

The property was in a rural neighborhood on a corner lot. It's a solid, simple Amish cottage with everything you could possibly need- even charcoal! The host is very attentive and helped us with pumping up a bike tire and providing an extra skillet. He texted us more than once asking us to let him know if there was anything we needed! Also, the cottage location provided convenient access to many local points of interest. We greatly enjoyed our time there.

Wonderful farm, host, lake and town

Wonderful stay. Joe is an excellent host and a great guy. He even gave my 4 kids a tour of his adjacent farm. The town of Hammondsport is also a wonderful hidden gem, and the location of the property gives you great access to the surrounding finger lakes area. The cottage is cozy but very clean and comfortable. We had a blast and hope to return in the future.

Perfect girls trip!

My friends and I went on our annual girls trip this year and this was the perfect little property! The host/owner was so incredibly friendly and went over the top to make sure we were comfortable and accounted for. The area is beautiful, and everything was so clean for us when we got there! The only thing that wasn't completely accurate from the online listing was that there was a double murphy bed. It was a small twin bed that was folded on a rolling bed frame in the closet, so if you have 5 adults it might be a bit cozy. Other than that, truly 5 stars all around!

Cozy Cottage

This little cottage has everything one could need for an enjoyable stay in the Finger Lakes region. It is just minutes from Keuka Lake and from Hammondsport, a picturesque village on the lakeshore. Our host was kind enough to recommend a wonderful restaurant (Timberstone Grill).

The location of this place is perfect your in a nice quiet wooded area but yet there a lot of wineries within 10-15 minutes. We both enjoyed our stay the place was very neat, clean, and had more room then I thought in the pictures, the bathroom was with a nice walk in shower! The host was very helpful, our check in and check out were nice and simple. The host was also excellent with responses and communication. We plan on staying here again!

The property owners were very responsive to any questions and made the check in and out process so easy. They have Satalite TV and Internet which filled in the gaps after dark.

Quiet place in the country!

Stayed here with my family (4 of us) in July. Joe is a fantastic host! Very easy to get in touch with and very responsive. The house sleeps two in the bedroom (queen bed), two more on the pullout sofa bed, and room for 1 more on a folding twin bed that Joe keeps in the closet. We used all beds because my two teenagers didn't want to share the sofa bed. Joe was nice enough to give us and some other family members a tour of his farm down the road! Kids loved the horses and chickens and hearing everything Joe does to raise these animals.
