We had a great time there. The cottage is nice but could use air conditioning in the main bedroom. It was cozy and the view was spectacular, especially at sunset. For those with littles, be aware that there is a drop off just beyond the deck that could pose a problem for the littles, and you need water shoes to take advantage of the lake. It's a rocky shoreline and even with water shoes, I slipped on the rocks and got some minor cuts and scrapes. That being said, we had a great time and didn't have any problems with noise in the neighborhood until the weekend. We had great neighbors in the other cabin, but they used the firepit by the water every night so we ended up leaving without any bonfires since we didn't feel safe having a bonfire directly under a tree with low hanging branches. The owner was quick to respond to any any issues that arose. incitesproblem,

My family of 5 had the best time at the little green Sunset Cottage! It is well equipped with everything you would need for a trip to the lake - kitchenware, towels, extra blankets if needed, kayaks, even a few kids toys outside. Very comfy and cozy! The outdoor space is fantastic between the two outdoor porches and the lakeside seating below. The shallow grade of the lake made this a wonderful place for our 3 kids to swim and play without worry of being too deep. Perfect sunset views and a nice breeze to boot! We look forward to staying here again!

We stayed here to experience the eclipse, and were the first renters of the season. This charming cottage is right on the water, is very well appointed, and is located near many wineries and Cornell University. There was a bit of an ant problem, but it was not a major issue overall.

Trip purpose was college visits, but we had so much fun with the Kayaks and touring around on non visit days...we will be back! Bonus our mini schnauzer joined us. Property manager was super on point.

This cottage was very cozy, clean and comfortable. The vicinity of being right on the lake was picturesque. Ducks were on the pier everyday and we saw an eagle fishing for food. My husband would have preferred to have a fire in the evening, however he did not feel that was possible with the proximity of the firepits. We will be back to the area someday because the wineries were superb!

Perfect cottage overlooking Cayuga Lake. Super clean and everything you might possibly need is provided, except the food, Ha! That’s what Wegmans in Auburn is for…fabulous market, and also the markets in Union Springs. Only complaint…the weather…Rain! Otherwise, perfect!

We really enjoyed our stay in this cozy cottage. Being able to sit on the deck in the mornings and early evenings was absolutely wonderful. We watched a pair of eagles fish for breakfast and dinner a few days. The cottage had everything the three of us needed for a relaxing week exploring the Finger Lakes region. The location was quiet and felt very safe. We were concerned when we arrived that the air conditioner was in the bunk bedroom instead of the common area, but in the end the cottage stayed pleasantly cool during our visit despite temps in the 90s a few days. The cottage is away from the busiest areas of the Finger Lakes, which makes it a peaceful retreat. We highly recommend getting food to go from nearby Salt of the Earth. It is close enough that everything was still hot when we got it home. The dinner we got there was delicious and we wished we had known about it sooner. Fargo Bar and Grill down in Aurora is another great nearby choice for food while you are exploring the area. Things to know - The steps down to the water are very secure and there is not a crazy number of them. I have had multiple knee surgeries so I was concerned, but I felt quite comfortable heading down to the water. The cottage has no closets and the only dresser is in the primary bedroom. With 3 adults staying for 9 nights, that was a bit of a challenge for those of us who like to unpack and let the wrinkles settle out of our clothes. The owner was easy to contact with questions. We will definitely put this on the list of properties we would stay in again.

We had a very positive experience with our stay in this lakeside cottage. Convenient location for our daily excursions visiting wineries and water falls in the area. Cottage is updated and very clean and functional. Excellent location to view the lake from the deck or from the living room. We had a rainy Sunday so this was the first time I sat on a sofa to watch football and also looked outside at a beautiful lake. Great communication with the owner.

THE NEARNESS TO THE LAKE WAS FANTASTIC. One suggestion would make is to place the welcome mat at the bottom of the steps. My husband thought he was on the last step(missed that 2nd step going down) and fell and broke 3 ribs. We still went on and did all that we had planned and coming back to the tranquility of that porch and the sunsets was the best medicine he could have received. Joan and Jerry

Overall we really enjoyed our stay. The cottage in very quaint and is well maintained. The family that stayed in the other cottage were very nice which made it easy to share the dock, beach and kayaks.

We were very happy with our stay. Midge was very accessible by phone. Wifi was quite good, even for video conferences. The location is in an RV Park/Marina but once you are in the cottage, you feel like you are floating above the lake. We loved having the private pier and kayaks. The region is full of spectacular state parks and wineries. Montezuma Wildlife Refuge is a 15 minute drive away with excellent birding. This vacation checked all of our boxes.

This cottage was wonderful. We watched the sunset over the lake in the evening on the deck or from the sofa thru the sliding glass doors. Close to Seneca Falls, wineries and lots of other great sites!

Place was exactly as described. We enjoyed the 2 fire pits ( one down the steps at lakeside and one next to house). Camp had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. My only comment would be on the cat hair that collected on my clothes and feet while inside. Being allergic to cats, I had to take allergy meds the whole time. Overall, a great stay.

Had a great relaxing stay at Midge’s cottage! The kayaks, fire pit, and dock into the water were such great perks! We were able to watch the sunset and stars every night. Don’t worry too much about the trailers when first driving in, because the back porch and lake area made you feel like you had your own private beach. The mattress was a little uncomfortable, but not that big of a deal!
