We stayed for 5 nights at the Longview rental. Marla the owner is wonderful and very good with communication. The cottage is cozy, and we made dinner in the kitchen / grill on porch every night. Dock was great to hang out on and enjoy the sun and water. Beautiful scenic view. Would recommend to anyone. Thanks for the great get away. Right in the middle of Cayuga wine country.

We had a wonderful time in the Finger Lakes region and "Longview" was a perfect place to stay. We would highly recommend Marla's place for anyone visiting the area.

We love coming back to this location for several reasons. The host, Marla, is absolutely wonderful! She is so kind, welcoming and accommodating. We love how quiet the location is along with all the wildlife. Whether having coffee on the deck in front of the house or by the lake, it is an enjoyable way to start the day. Also, we made sure we checked out the colors of the sunrise and sunset. I was able to take some incredible pictures. The lakefront is nice with a dock and plenty of Adirondack chairs. There is a paddle boat, canoe, and other amenities to enjoy. It is close to several wineries and many other conveniences. We always enjoy going to Taughannock Falls nearby. It is the tallest falls east of the Rockies. You can view it from the above overlook or you can walk to it from the park (very easy - flat). We couldn’t help but to be amazed by the incredible views the area has to offer.

The property was as described and Marla was a great host. She provided a thorough list of area restaurants, wineries, and places to see, includingdirections. She was available and responded timely to my messages. I definitely recommend this property for a relaxing time at the lake!

First and foremost this property was dirty, nowhere near properly cleaned. Blood stains on some bedding, big dust bunnies, grotty ac units and towels that were left for us to use were fit for the garbage even when clean but they weren't even clean to start with. Damaged blinds, damaged and raised ceiling panels, a stove that of the 2 bigger heater coils only one was really useable. Mattress that gave up the ghost years ago and sagged like a hammock but was less comfortable than a hammock...to name just a few things No washer/dryer was a big deal. In fairness one was not listed, so my fault, however if one of the reasons you rent a house as a family rather than a hotel is this, then don't just assume one will be there like it has been at all other VRBO properties I've rented. We complained to the owner about the towels and did get some fresh ones and have apology texts about the conditions of the blinds. However we were there 6 days so did not want to make an overall fuss as on the plus side we did get to use the dock, kayak and paddleboard. So our mentality was, house is far from great but we rented to be by a lake so lets use the lake, do day trips and then move on. Thats essentially what we did. I also purchase insurance through VRBO and just found out the owner has fraudulently claimed against that insurance for damage/repair for a number of things she apologized to us for on text saying previous renters had done when we moved in. We also have time stamped pictures.
