Amazing view! Plenty of room for 6 people. Great communication from the owner. Only thing I think people need to know is how long and steep the stairs to the lake are.

We recently stayed at this beautiful house with our two kids. First off, I want to say that the house was clean and spacious, and the kitchen was well-stocked. The water is crystal clear, the deck was beautiful, and the views were amazing. The hosts were friendly and very responsive. That being said, here are a few things I wish I had known before booking: Mobility Issues: If you are traveling with people who have mobility issues, this isn't the place for you. To get to the water, you need to go down a lot of stairs (deck to yard, then yard to water). We traveled with two people who couldn't really do stairs, so they enjoyed the water from afar. Essentials: Bring foil, plastic wrap, and ziplock bags. The nearest grocery store is 20+ minutes away, so it's a 40+ minute trip if you forget essentials. Water Supply: It's not until after you book, and it's too late to cancel, that you are given vital information about spacing showers 15-30 minutes apart. Water supply must be an issue because I was awoken from a rare opportunity to nap with multiple calls and an email about the water running for 21 minutes. We later found that a toilet was running. Although they were nice about it, I was off-put by the calls and heavy monitoring. No Beach: The dock is lovely, but there is no beach, no grass, or sand. You walk down 25+ steps directly to the dock and jump into the water from there (or use the handy ladder provided). I highly recommend water shoes as the water is rocky. Thankfully

It was the perfect cottage for our family group with lots of discrete space for sleeping and socializing. The 2nd floor porch overlooking the lake is as nice as I have ever been on - anywhere. The best thing about this property is the owner. She is extremely responsive to problems that arise.

Gorgeous view, nice dock to sit down by the water. The house was clean and had everything we needed.

This trip was planned as a girls getaway to surprise our daughter (who has three sons) coming up from Florida for a long weekend. We had such a fun time we decided to make it a yearly tradition. The house held all 8 of us comfortably, in a beautiful setting right on Seneca Lake, offering a beautiful display of Gods creation from either of the two decks. LOTS of laughter & love!

We were so happy with everything about this property. The location is beautiful, and the house was very clean. We spent so much time on the deck and on the dock. The view is amazing, and the area was so quiet and peaceful. We had family in from California for our reunion who had their own rentals. They loved the area. We would definitely return.

We really enjoyed the cottage - there were 7 people for a family vacation trip. More than enough room to be together/have some privacy if desired. The cottage was well equipped, and perfect for our group. The only negative is the road/driveway in. The property shares an entrance road with the neighbors, and they have made it a very sharp 90 deg corner with large rocks, signs, tree stumps so that turning that final corner while towing a boat is incredibly challenging. The neighbors recommended asking the owners to widen the other side of driveway at the top
