Perfect Long Weekend
The property is exactly as promised and the view is incredible. We sat on the deck and enjoyed the view one night. The property was spotless and they provided linens and towels and everything you would need to run a home. The owner lives nearby and was very responsive to any questions we had. It was easy to get to the nearby wineries and breweries also. Its simply the perfect spot. Highly recommend!

Great Spot On The Lake
Overall the property exceeded expectations. Plenty of room for two couples or a family. Everything we needed was there from the grill to the fire pit to the lake access. Very enjoyable getaway!

We had a wonderful stay at the Lake House! Celebrated our 23rd wedding anniversary. Everything was super clean and the kitchen was well stocked, everything you need is available. Awesome location, too. We brought our kayaks and mountain bikes. Lots of things to do and places to explore nearby. Jim was very accommodating, thanks so much! We’ll be back for sure.

Finger Lakes Trip
Can’t say enough about our stay (4 adults). House was well equipped with everything we could have wished for, nothing was overlooked. Views of Seneca Lake were incredible! Patio space was ideal. We loved sitting out throughout the day, and evenings! Great gas grill for evening cookouts. Large side yard, where we played bocce. A path led to a wonderful private beach area, which included chairs, fire pit, kayaks and paddle boat. Close to beautiful wineries, and wonderful restaurants. We would highly recommend this property!

Great spot for a Gal Pal Getaway
My two friends and I had a wonderful stay at Jim's welcoming lake-side home. It was so peaceful and serene. We took advantage of every outdoor seating area - the deck and the dock being our mainstays. The big picture window in the kitchen/eating area was prime viewing when several big storms rolled through - front row seats for the rain, thunder, lightening and rainbow shows! Jim was always quick to respond and very helpful. The location was perfect for us; a beautful drive to Watkins Glen one day and to CMAC for a concert the next night. Plus a delicious vist to Spotted Duck for ice cream. If we return to the area, we will definitely stay here again. We'd love to experience it in the winter!
