Great layout, great views, would love to stay again.

Overall we had a lovely time at this location. The great room is truly great - the open concept connecting the living room, dining table and kitchen meant our whole 10-person group was able to spread out and still be part of the conversation. Having 3 bathrooms is a nice perk as well, especially with large groups. Even with great properties, I always try to think of something that could "make it better next time" - in this case, maintaining some kitchen staples. I've learned from experience with rentals to bring certain items with you: aluminum foil, spare trash bags, etc. And for our stay, at least, this property lacked a few fundamentals such as salt, pepper, measuring items (liquid cups, spoons) and dishwasher detergent, so I'll add those to my travel list. In the grand scheme, relatively minor things to be worried about - this place is still a 5/5, and I'd be happy to visit again (perhaps in warmer weather to really enjoy the dock!).

beautiful lakeside home

8 adults stayed here. The kitchen had every appliance. The views are spectacular even with rain. The location was perfect to hike and visit wineries. Of the 2 rooms upstairs only 1 has the bathroom attached to it. And of the 2 rooms downstairs you have to share the bathroom also not attached to either bedroom. You do need to bring bottled water for cooking and drinking. We had 8 people but the table only had 6 chairs. Overall a great stay!!

Great 4 day trip - gorgeous view

Property was clean; kitchen was very serviceable and amenities were as described. The view from the upper deck is amazing! It would be a 5-star except for 2 issues (which are important to consider): 1. The step area/concrete at top are slightly dangerous - the concrete is slanted and stairs are slanted a bit as well. As we have some elderly in the party we chose to not go down to the fire pit as a result. This is really the reason for 4-star instead of 5. With the fire pit at the bottom you have to navigate to use the fire pit. 2. The grill - it's a very sturdy charcoal grill but like you see in parks - a big square with the front completely open. As such you have tremendous heat loss. And no gas grill to compensate. If you cook in kitchen not an issue - but you need to plan your visit accordingly. We would absolutely recommend this property as long as you are OK with the above 2 issues.

Beautiful house

Really wonderful and gorgeous house. The views just take your breath away. You can't beat the porch, which is where we spent most of our time. Our family had plenty of room to spread out with enough bathrooms that we weren't bumping into each other. I wouldn't hesitate to rent here again. My criticism includes, on the listing there is a sleeper sofa/futon on the lower level, either we couldnt figure out how to pull it out or we have different definitions of a sleep soda, either way I had a family member that wasn't able to utilize it as advertised in the listing. The other item is there is a list of items to do before leaving , nothing outrageous but since check out time is at 10am with the penalty of an extra charge if late, it left us rushing to get the list done instead of relaxing during our last morning. All in all, a really beautiful house , great location to wineries, Geneva and Watkins Glen .

Gorgeous view, spacious deck, a solid 10

This is one of the nicest places we have stayed in the fifteen years we have rented summer homes in the finger lakes. The huge wall of windows gives a great view of Seneca Lake from the living room, dining room and kitchen. The deck is huge and lots of seating/table was provided. The gradual water entry was welcomed for kayaking, playing on floats and use by our dog. The home was very clean. Owner easy to reach with questions. Lots of living and sleeping space. Powerful a/c was appreciated, although some zone differences in temperature were tricky to negotiate. Furniture was in great condition. Kitchen fully equipped. Will stay here again!

I hope this review is helpful and that the owners consider making it better for future renters

We rented from 8/14-8/21 but won’t rent again for the following reasons: Upon our arrival we found wet laundry in a VERY overloaded dryer (2 sets of sheets, 8 bath towels, several wash cloths and hand towels) all in one load! I rewashed all of it (separated into 3 loads) to make sure it was clean. The first load of 4 bath towels and washcloths took two 50 minute cycles on high heat to dry. I left Todd a message on 8/15 about the laundry issue, dryer not working properly and a broken window near the driveway. He replied within 5 minutes and advised a replacement window was on order and would have their service company call me directly to coordinate a time to check the dryer. By 8/17 there was a bigger issue; mouse droppings on the kitchen counter! I left Todd a message requesting an immediate reply and advised their service company didn’t call me about the dyer (Todd didn’t reply). I left him another message on 8/18 (still no reply from Todd). The “Welcome to the Lake” instructions at the house only had Todd’s number to call; however after arriving home and accessing my email I found additional phone numbers for Tom and Norm (perhaps they could be added to the instructions at the house). I also planned on notifying Todd of the following but he didn’t return my calls: Only a small section of the dock was rebuilt and the rest is in horrible condition! The mooring whips were installed into old split boards; the board closest to the end of the dock was lifted up, twisted and not properly screwed. During a heavy rain storm we were concerned about our boat being damaged and had to purchase additional bumpers to protect it from the dock. The master bedroom mattress has two deep body impressions and needs to be replaced. We couldn’t use the shower/tub in the main bath upstairs because it wouldn’t drain. The morning sun heats up the family room; unfortunately the sliding doors don’t have screens so we either had to turn the A/C way down or leave the doors open and deal with the flies/bees. The handle was missing from the sliding door near the kitchen. Upon retrieving my dog’s toy from under the couch I noticed lots of dust and a few game pieces from previous renters. Walking barefoot will confirm the floors were not clean. The lower level shower stall had black mold on the ceiling. The sliding door lock on the lower level doesn’t work; there’s just a board there for security. The fire pit was by the water and not inviting to use in a corner of tall weeds.

Excellent location June 2021

We really enjoyed our stay. This home is perfectly located 1/2 way between Watkins Glenn and Geneva and within minutes of dozens of wineries. If you chose to stay at this property I recommend renting a boat from Roy's marina to get the full experience of the lake. The home was perfect for 10 adults and dogs. We used goggle maps to find local attractions (wineries, breweries, restaurants, etc) and we really had a blast. The only criticism we could pass would be the exterior of the house and landscaping was less than desirable to say the least. The boat dock is in need of repair and the property landscaping should be improved to enhance the experience of enjoying the the outdoors of this property. We found ourselves either on the large deck or lower patio every night enjoying the view of the lake. I would definitely recommend this home for anyone to stay! Hope you enjoy!
