We found the property to be the right fit for our family and provided everything we needed for our vacation stay. The hosts met us on the first day and were very friendly and inviting. We were able to visit some of the other lakes as well as enjoying Owasco Lake. We look forward to returning to the area in the future and enjoying the Lake life

The choice of a site for us to gather family to celebrate our anniversary hinged on two factors, plenty of bedrooms and a New York State Finger Lake. This gorgeous home provides both. Our family gathered from Seattle, Illinois, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. The kitchen is well appointed with appliances, plates and cutlery. The dining room table comfortably accommodated 10 of us.Sparkling chandeliers in the dining room and entryway added charm and warmth. Plenty of seating is on the lovely porch, living room, game room and backyard fire pit. There are several choices of water craft across the road at the dock and boat lift to provide hours of fun. And the quaint and historic village of nearby Auburn provides several opportunities for shopping, dining and entertainment. On the card presented to us by our oldest son were these words, "Remember this place for your 70th anniversary celebration!

We had a wonderful stay! We had everything we needed including a gas grill to make our burgers and hot dogs for Memorial Day weekend. The kitchen was fully stocked. We enjoyed staying in this older, but well maintained home. The view from the front porch was the icing on the cake!

This was probably the best VRBO house / rental I've ever stayed in. The owner was communicative and responsive. With five bedrooms, there was plenty of places to sleep. The house literally was a home away from home, with every amenity, household items and comforts of home one could think of. The lake area access across the street was very easy to get to and lovely - we enjoyed using the kayak and the paddle boat. I can only imagine the fun guests would have in the summer (we stayed in April). The teenagers enjoyed the pool table and the comfortable couches in the TV, which included cable TV and had a Roku where you could easily sign into whatever streaming services you subscribe to. There were also plenty of games on the game shelves. The kitchen was fully stocked with utensils, dishes, pots, pans, cookware, etc. Two refrigerators for guest use made for plenty of cold storage. Full size washer and dryer easily available. And last, but certainly not least is the front porch, with plenty of outdoor seating, including a table and chairs, that overlooks the lake. It was perfectly suited for sipping a warm mug of tea in the morning, watching the sunrise. I would recommend this home 10/10.

From the moment we turned into the driveway until it was time to leave, we felt right at home in this beautiful house. It was lit with holiday cheer, warm and welcoming when we first arrived. Upon entering we were impressed with its old farmhouse charm. The back entry area was spacious and made it easy to unload everything from the car. The updated kitchen is well-appointed; we had everything we needed. Plenty of cooking equipment, dishes, etc. Two refrigerators made it easy for us to store everything we brought for a 5-day stay that included Christmas dinner. Each bedroom was spacious and comfortable. The living area was also spacious and comfortable. The pool table was a nice surprise, and got a lot of use. The updated bathrooms were great; the master en suite bathroom will be updated, but was fine as is. We loved the master as a whole, with the separate dressing room in between the bedroom and the bath. The view of the lake from the bedroom just added more to the charm. Amy, the owner, was fantastic to work with although we really didn't need anything from her, as she thought of everything ahead of time and was generous in her provision of all that is needed for a comfortable stay. What was missing? Snow for a white Christmas, nothing more! Thank you, Amy; we will be back!
