Cleanliness of property -First outside impression was disappointing, uneven steps,overgrown, in need of some cosmetics and a squirrel or other rodent had been in the breaker box-Not what I expected from the 5 star reviews or a premier host.However, looking back through the photos of the property, other than the lake not being in view - they are accurate, the write up on the listing was not the most accurate but I did receive an email that there were updates made after I spoke to the property owner. The inside was spacious and the bedrooms are beautifully decorated. Lawn furniture in the living room was disappointing but again looking through the photos they are accurate. Check in process was easy and the property owner was communicative with me throughout the stay regarding the concerns and disappointments. The location was perfect for what we wanted to do in the area.

Quiet, convenient 1st floor bedrooms, nice private hot tub, very close to but no view of Keuka…lovely area and countryside.

Clean, comfortable. relaxed. Hot tub was great. well kept. internet was sketchy and mostly didnt work. No lake view. more of a wooded view 1/8 mile from lake. But if you are visiting wineries its the perfect crash spot. has anout 6 dead trees on properly so could use some outdoor maintenance. unable to check in early but that is stated. inflexible but were left alone. we would def stay there again.

The cottage was clean and cozy. It was close to everything we needed to do and gave us the perfect place to hang as a family at night. We will definitely go back.

The house was very cozy and clean 🙂

Accommodations were pleasant - lots of room and very clean.

Lots of rules to follow if you are staying at this property. I would say they allow pets but not that they are pet friendly. No pets on furniture and dogs must be crated when you are not at the property with your dogs. Fees are really high for cleaning and bringing your pets. I would advise you to read everything very carefully and I did not see all the restrictions about having my dogs until after we had paid both payments for our vacation.

Plenty of room, nice outdoors and in

Very clean and well appointed. We enjoyed it very much.

Property met our needs and very clean.

It was a pleasure staying at this property again. We love the location and the property is always clean and welcoming.

We enjoyed the property and loved the location! We were secluded, but we were only miles from wineries, and Penn Yan. Getting around was easy. The drive up to the rental is steep and we did walk down to the lake and then walked back up the steep hill. Calves were burning, but jumped in the hot tub and everything was great! Thank you for making our stay great!

Clean and comfortable cottage. Somewhat remote feeling, and not very convenient to Corning Museum, which was the focus of our trip - 45 minutes away. Nice outdoor setting with a hot tub. No view of the lake which we (perhaps mistakenly) thought we would have. It is less than a 1/2 mile from the lake.

Everything was perfect. Incredibly clean and very cozy. Walking distance to the lake. Charming decor, comfortable beds and lovely atmosphere!

Very nice property! House was exceptionally clean and very charming. Plenty of towels, glasses, etc. Comfortable beds and plenty of pillows. Great location, very easy to get to Penn Yan, which is a nice little town with decent choices for shopping and dining. Canandaigua was also an easy drive. Hot tub was very relaxing after a long day of hiking. There is a fire bowl, and we enjoyed a fire under beautiful, starlit skies (bring chairs if you want to sit by a fire). Overall an excellent choice! Would definitely recommend it!

Great location and convenient to the wineries. Cottage was very cute, quiet, and well maintained.

Totally enjoyed our stay at Sunflower Cottage. Very clean. Comfortable beds. Plenty of towels. Nicely decorated and mostly everything provided. Hot tub a plus. Sitting on deck with the expansive natural setting was heavenly. Didn’t want to leave. A picnic table on the deck to enjoy the beautiful surroundings would have been a plus. Also, insect repellent candles/buckets definitely needed. This, however, did not deter us from having a wonderful family getaway.

We loved the privacy of the property and the amazing scenery surrounding the property. A short drive to many wineries and right off of the lake! We could not be happier with our stay. Many amenities included and a very clean stay!

The house was very clean and put together. The host was very accommodating in terms of a "little favor" I had requested upon arrival. Very responsive. The directions we received for check in and check out were clearly defined. This was very helpful! Hot tub was clean and cozy! One thing I think would help is, we booked this for the hiking as there was supposed to be hiking trails. We did hike, but we weren't sure where the property lines were and didn't want to trespass. Maybe a map of the property in the description similar to the "lines" to the wineries and breweries. Or, maybe a map emailed after booking with the check in process. Other than that it was a fabulous get-a-way! Thank you !! We would definately stay there again!

We loved the property. Would’ve bought it myself if it were on the market. Hot tub was definitely a nice perk! Some outside lighting near the hot tub would be a suggestion. It looks like there were some flood lights, but they weren’t working. Thank you for a lovely weekend away. We’ll most likely be back.

We had a great Thanksgiving here, it was the perfect size for a getaway. The house is adorable and cozy, fit us all comfortably. It’s close to town if you need anything but still feels secluded and private. The hot tub is a huge bonus! We will definitely stay here again.

Enjoyed a very relaxing weekend in the Finger Lakes! A very cute and clean house surrounded by nature set the stage for a perfect getaway weekend with friends.

We had a long weekend stay with friends and had a wonderful time! Home was extremely clean and very cozy. We enjoyed the fire pit and hot tub every night. Was super convenient to wineries and would absolutely stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay. We would rent again. We were happy with the size of the house and property. The house was clean. The kitchen was nicely equipped. The beds and linens were comfortable. Please note the following. House Description: The house is 2 bedrooms and 1 open loft. The description in my opinion doesn't make that clear enough. We did not observe a partial lake view from the property. Maybe this changes when the leaves fall. Safety: In walking the perimeter of the property with our dog (we did not stray far from the house, no more than 50-75 feet from the house) we found 3 ticks on our dog on 2 separate occasions and 1 tick imbedded on my upper leg. We are certain this occurred from walking the property as the ticks were jumping on him and found immediately after the walks. Please be careful and check all of your 2 and 4 legged family members for ticks.

Lovely setting. Tastefully decorated. Extremely clean. Close to charming town of Penn Yan. Would definitely come back.

We had a great trip to the Finger Lakes. The cottage was well-equipped and met all of our needs. Don't be scared off by some neglect of the exterior because the interior is a gem. Extremely clean and inviting. The owner went out of her way to make us feel welcome. It was spacious and comfortable, with the hot tub being the icing on the cake. We would definitely return or tell others about it. Being gardeners, we would want to tidy up the outside to give it better curb appeal, but that would not stop us from enjoying it again

This was the perfect house for what I was looking for! My group was 3 different married couples - all of us with kids under 10. This was great for a getaway weekend after leaving the kids with their grandparents. The biggest selling feature was 3 bedrooms with queen beds - so many rentals have that typical 3rd bedroom filled with a dozen bunk beds. The house was very clean and spacious, plenty of room for 6 to relax in the living room. Very close to a number of wineries so I definitely recommend a day visiting them and then being able to come back and enjoy the hot tub and grill some dinner. Would definitely stay again

Comfortable beds and large enough to accommodate 7 adults. The hot tub was a nice perk.

Cool spot.

Beautiful house, amazing property, easy check-in/out. Calm music was playing when we arrived, it felt like we were coming home to our own house. My only complaint is that I didn’t receive any instruction on check-in or information from the owners about our stay until the morning of our reservation, and not until I requested it. There was important information about the house and my guests and requests from your them that I should have been provided well in advance. Still, all contact with the owners during our stay was quick and pleasant. We would definitely stay there again!

Just as described in the write up and very peaceful. Yes, the kitchen was a bit sparse with paper towels or condiments, but I didn’t come here to cook meals in. It was very adequate for doing something quick in the morning or a burger on the grill. The upstairs was very warm but it did not affect us downstairs.. I would stay again, and probably will, in the next year.

Pros: house was relatively clean, private location, hot tub, location relative to the lake, washer and dryer, spacious, comfortable bedsCons: check in processes sent day of check in, property overgrown, could use a new fire pit and better seating (current seating is two white plastic chairs), some appliances were partially inoperable, screens and windows could use cleaning (bugs and bees between windows and screens made it unpleasant to look at/open windows)Overall the experience was okay. A few nice upgrades would make all the difference.
