Our stay in mid-June was relaxing.We especially enjoyed the view of a pastoral hillside across the lake. The cottage itself is clean and comfortable. The kitchen is compact, well stocked and efficient. The owners say in their description that they enjoy entertaining - the cottage seems well suited to that purpose, especially the stocked bar. We don't drink and were shocked to find free liquor there. All of the dining room chairs are so high that your feet don't touch the ground. We didn't find them comfortable for sitting or computer use. Same for the chairs around the table on the deck. The lighting is not very good for reading, but the couch and recliner are quite comfortable. Sleeping was good. Very quiet. A firm mattress, but sheets were too small. Quiet air conditioning. Good temperature, once we learned how to adjust the thermostats. Little boat traffic, as school was still in session. Fishing was not good even though June 15 was the opening day for bass. On one day, I kayaked for over an hour and only saw one other boat. There is good shade for lounging by the lake in the morning, but little in the afternoon when it is hot. The patio chairs and ottomans are very comfortable but not the chairs by the lake. The geese like the shore, so goose poop was an issue. The dock is excellent and there were several kiddie kayaks and paddle boards. There was a canoe, but no canoe paddles. In summary, a tidy, relaxing cottage despite minor inconveniences.

This property is in a beautiful location right on the lake. The house comes fully equipped with basically anything you'd need, a real home from home!

Nestled in a quiet location on the lake but still near all there is to do by the finger lakes. Great accommodation

Despite the rainy weather, we enjoyed a long weekend at this great property. The heated kitchen floor was a bonus! It was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked. Great location. We visited 8 of the 11 Finger Lakes! We would definitely come back.

We stayed in early November and had a wonderful experience at the cottage. The beds were sooo comfortable. Enjoyed coffee down by the lake and enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere throughout the day. The home was immaculate and offered every amenity we needed. Highly recommend this rental!

We had a great time at Duckingham Cottage! The area was so nice and it was nice to be on a smaller lake. The house was clean and updated and fit our needs perfectly! We had an issue where we had to call maintenance since we got locked out but they came within 20 minutes and got it fixed! Great communication and very helpful throughout the trip. Hope to stay here again in the future!
