Our recent stay at this home was amazing. So amazing that we requested an additional night and it was easily accommodated. The location of the home is perfect for visiting the many wineries along the lake and just a short ride to Seneca Lake. We spent most of our time fishing off the gorgeous dock catching yellow perch and my husband was even able to catch a lake trout from the kayaks on the property. Jennifer and Toby are top notch hosts who are very easy to communicate with and welcome you with a delicious bottle of wine upon arrival. We can not wait to hopefully book this home for our Finger Lakes getaway next year.

Very nice cottage right on the water. Quiet, peaceful and very clean. Everything you could need was available. There are many venues to hear all types of music within 15-20 miles in the afternoon and early evening.

Such a perfect setting. Felt like I was sleeping on the lake . The cottage is so clean, quaint, cozy. Deck off the living area and on lake level plus fire pit area. Totally enjoyed our stay.

This was the perfect place to celebrate my milestone birthday! It was cozy and had the perfect view. We especially appreciated that our dog could join us. The cottage had everything you could possibly dream of needing while on vacation. Our next visit will be in warmer weather so we can enjoy the decks, dock, and all the outdoor activities!

This cottage is situated right on the water. We really enjoyed waking to the sound of the waves. So scenic. Easy to find. Very cozy. We had everything we needed. And thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our hosts Jen and Toby kindly checked in on us via text. Very hospitable.

We had a great time at the cottage. It was exactly as described, and being right on the water was simply wonderful. Our pup had a great time exploring the yard, and we truly appreciated that the fence kept him safe. There’s no shortage of things to do both on the property and in the area. Will definitely return!

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon. We had such a great time! The cottage is so clean which was our first impression. We spent our week soaking up the sun right on the deck. The kayaks and stand up paddle board were a lot of fun to use and travel down the lake with. We grilled every night! And they have all the cooking essentials you will need. Jen was easy to get in contact with, we had a question about the lock on the door and she called us within a minute to answer our question.
The last day we stopped at Taughannock Falls for a walk with our dog Remi and then we stopped at the Sheldrake Point Winery. We recommend both!
The cottage was perfect for our dog and since it was all fenced in we didn’t have to worry about him getting out.
All in all we had a wonderful time and would definitely book again!

The cottage is really cute and clean. The inside is bright and airy. The kitchen is big and has enough space to move around. It's equipped with almost everything you need for your stay including kayaks and SUP board and several pairs of water shoes! (although we wish that there is another comfortable loveseat in the room and the TV is a bit bigger)
The double decks outside and the outdoor area are lovely to hangout. It gives the impression that we can have friends over to swim and hangout during the day. It looks like a fun spot to have a cocktail and watching sunset with friends. However, the house policy is not permit over 4 people. So, keep that in mind if you plan to have some visitors.
The location of this property is the prime! the street is quiet and is great for cycling, running, or walk. We even saw an eagle perching on the nearby tree! We are cyclists, so we brought our own bikes, but the property also has 2 bikes for guests to use. There's a really good farm stand just a few minutes away and Sheldrakes winery and Ol' Mally restaurant &Cayuga Shoreline (with a fun porch bar) are only a mile away.

Place was cute and very clean!!! Bed comfy. Location and water/deck/fire pit areas were fantastic!!! Looking forward to returning in the future. One suggestion is the small tv is on a stand in the kitchen/dining table open area and couch is facing the other way...maybe if possible move tv so if you sit on the couch you can comfortably watch. Thank you.

Perfect location in the middle of the lake on the west side and right on the water! Property is well-kept and had all necessary amenities! Romantic getaway for a couple

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay! The hosts were very kind and communicated well for a seamless experience! They thought of everything, so it really felt like a home away from home, just more peaceful and with a breathtaking view of the lake! We took the kayaks out one morning, it was so serene, all you could hear were the birds. We saw some cool birds like an osprey and a momma duck with her babies! We feel so lucky to have found this place. Absolutely would recommend for a quiet, relaxing get away.

My husband and I loved our time here at this cozy cottage. The location is amazing as it is close to wineries and hiking spots. We spent most of our time just relaxing on the deck listening to the water. It was truly a relaxing getaway.

My wife and I came here to celebrate my 40th without the kids, and were very happy with the place and hosts’ hospitality. The view is breathtaking, and listening to the lake water splashing outside was very serene. Our only issues were temperature control (baseboard knob heating); we were either very cold or hot at night. Once the window AC unit is removed for the winter the bedroom heat will probably work better.

This is a lovely cottage. It is located close to multiple state parks for hiking and wineries for tasting! We enjoyed the lake views all day and the sounds of the lapping water at night.

This is a fabulous place for a relaxing vacation in the FInger Lakes. The owners were super responsive and friendly, the outside area is incredible, and the location is almost impossible to beat. I highly recommend!

My husband and I stayed in this cozy lakeside cottage for three nights. It has enough charm and plenty of amenities to keep you from ever leaving. We did manage to use the cottage as a base to explore the area - but it was so tempting just to stay put. At night you can hear the lake waves lull you to sleep. You can drink your morning coffee with the gulls on the porch. I would definitely stay again. The property was super easy to access.

The cottage was very comfortable and clean - exactly as pictured,. The outdoor space was great - fenced so dog could wander safely and plenty of “toys” to use. Lots to do within half hour drive. Relaxed and enjoyed the quiet and the water views on rainy days. Enjoyed my stay very much.

We had a perfect stay at the blue cottage! The property is right on the water, with lake views from every window. Cozy but roomy at the same time. The outdoor space is absolutely fantastic with many options for sitting, dining, reading and relaxing. Nice firepit by the water too. This part of the lake is great for swimming, and there was both a ladder and steps to access the water. We used the kayak and paddleboard and bikes, too. The road is great for walking, running, bikes with lake views and little traffic. This is also an ideal location in the finger lakes with plenty to do if you decide to leave the property. The hosts were wonderful and responsive. Overall a great experience and we hope to return!

The cottage is perfectly located along the water to wake up to the sound of the lake. Sized perfectly for a couple, the outdoor setup allows for multiple areas to hang out depending on the activity or time of day! Loved the fire pit! We brought our dog, who loved that he could hang out outside as the entire property was fenced so he couldn't get to the neighbors or up to the steet. WIll be back!

This was the perfect week to recharge. Relax take in the abundance of nature abound. The location is perfect with short drives to alot of wineries and breweries. State parks are also short drives for amazing views of waterfalls and good hiking. The cottage is just perfect. Miles our dog enjoyed sunbathing on the dock.
