I stayed at Sunset cottage for a week. We had beautiful swimming weather. My nephews used the kayaks daily & caught small perch that they released. The cottage was very clean & beds comfortable. We had campfires on the beach every night. Midge responded to our needs very quickly.. It was a wonderful Finger Lakes get away.

This was a very cute small home located directly on the banks of Cayuga Lake. It was well equipped for our stay. We had adequate towels, kitchen tools and bedding for the two of us. The patio overlooking the lake was very nice. There was a picnic table and a barbecue grill which we did not end up using but it was available. We enjoyed sitting there despite the bugs and mosquitos. Bring repellant! (On the last day, I did discover bug spray in the bathroom cabinet). Oh well. Our last day at the property, there was terrible winds and storms. We drove (just 2 hrs) to Niagara Falls (where it was sunny and beautiful) to escape the weather. Midge was great to work with and offered up any assistance that may have arisen. There was only one complaint from us. The cabin needed an airing out really bad. It smelled sour like and moldy. We got a couple candles and kept the windows open pretty much the entire time that we were there - the odor diminished but never completely disappeared. We are fortunate that the weather was so pleasant that we could leave the windows open. The property was a little difficult to locate. I suggest better signage but it wasn’t a big deal. Other than that, a wonderful time!

We had a great stay for the eclipse. The cottage is right on the lake and so peaceful to look at from outside or from the living room inside. We were able to bring our dog and my kids enjoyed walking down to the lake to look at shells and skip rocks. Sightseeing around the area had many waterfalls and trails that were nice to explore as a family, including our dog.

Exactly what we wanted for our anniversary trip- a lovely cottage with a stunning view of the lake. Clean and cozy. Would definitely stay again!

The cottage was perfect for my boyfriend and I. There were plenty of towels, dishes, utensils, etc. Owner was extremely responsive when the power went due to a storm and was able to get us ice from the cottage next door and was willing to bring down a cooler and more ice if we needed. The only thing was that the listing stated coin laundry so we assumed it was in the campground next to the property or even on site but it was the laundromat up the street. We should have asked and clarified that during booking

Excellent stay, cottage has everything we needed, close to many parks with hiking and waterfalls. Lake is extremely clear and we enjoyed the kayaks and campfire by the lake.

Great place for relaxation, sunsets & boating
Cottage very clean, comfortable & everything you need. Midge is very responsive & a pleasure to rent from
Advice to boaters, Hibiscus Harbor within walking distance & nice place to rent a slip; however, the launch is pretty terrible, you can launch 1 mile down at Frontenac Park for $6 and much safer for you & your boat.

The cottage is located on a point on the periphery of a permanent-stay RV campground, but it is separate from the campground. After Oct. 10, the campground was closing up for the winter, so our stay was quiet. I expect it would be different in the summer. Not bad, just more activity in the campground as well as the whole area.
The location is about a half mile or so off the main road, and continuing past there is a large marina and community of seasonal and year-round homes. Easy walking, and it seems a popular walking route, as we saw several people doing so each morning.
The clean kitchen is well stocked with kitchen gear and appliances, so much so that there almost isn't room for it all. No place for groceries, and compact area for food prep. We expanded the table to its full length and turned it around, which worked out well for our food stuff.
Living room is spacious but sparse, though adequate. The main queen bed and bedding were comfortable. The space itself is tight, with not much room for bags or to hang things. The second room with a bunk was not made up, and seemed to be more of a storage area at this point in the season. However, if spiffed up, would be an adequate second room.
Bathroom was fine. Clean shower. Good towels.
Deck overlooks the lake. Some pruning and trimming is in order to have a better view. About two stories worth of wood steps down to the dock and a little beach. Good: ducks and heron are nice to watch. Bad: They poop on the dock a lot.
The village has a small full-service grocery for essentials, and there are places for pizza/subs/burgers for quick food. It's otherwise a low-key area. But for the curious and adventurous there are interesting eateries and sites within 20 minutes. Though the east side of Cayuga Lake has wineries (and we enjoyed the two in this town), the mother lode is on the west side. Recommend all of the well-kept state parks, primarily located near Ithaca, south end of Seneca Lake, and also Filmore SP, on south end of Owasco Lake.
Cottage summary: Would stay again. Owner was pleasant, helpful and available nearby if needed (but didn't!). Recommend more thorough vacuuming to stay on top of cobwebs that are behind things and in corners, and also dog hair perhaps left from previous guests. Hooks near main door and in BR would be useful.

Had a wonderful time staying at this cottage. The property was just as presented. Very comfortable. The proximity to the lake was wonderful with a nice area to sit to the left of the dock. One of our favorite parts were dinners on the deck overlooking the lake while watching the sun set. Midge was very communicative and helpful. I would highly recommend this property for a peaceful vacation.

The house was good for 2 friends on a fishing trip. Great sunsets from the deck. alot of steps down to the water but worth it. Best trip EVA!!!!
Thanks Midge

Great view of and access to the lake. Even when the weather wasn't good for outdoor action it was fun and relaxing to watch how the lake reacted from the comfort of the deck or even inside. Near perfect setup for a week's stay in May for my spouse and myself.

We very much enjoyed our stay at this perfect little cottage. The water at the lakefront is clear and calm. A few fun places to explore are short drives away!

The kitchen is fully furnished with dishes/pots, etc, but there was no place to put groceries or items we brought from home to cook. No place to put things in the bathrooms. The wifi router is in another cabin so when it went out, we couldn't do anything about it. Midge was quick to fix it though--no problem. The cabin is clean, pleasant, and the view wonderful. It's on a hill though, so take that into consideration for young children.

Loved the location. Quiet and a great view of the lake. Excellent place to unwind and disconnect. I found the short drive to wineries, shopping and sightseeing enjoyable because the scenery was beautiful.

Fantastic, relaxing stay in an amazing location. Favorite memories of the trip are the hikes in the parks (Fillmore Glen, Watkins Glen, Letchworth) and the fires by the lake in the fire pit, with a very happy dog swimming in the lake. We were sad to leave, and returned feeling like different people. Cute and convenient property in a location that can't be beaten

We thoroughly enjoyed a relaxing stay - quiet location looking over the lake was beautiful. The cottage was perfect for us and we were impressed at how clean and well kept it is. We thank Midge for sharing her place with us.
