This is our third summer here. We like this place very much. Great open living space. Loved the new sofa. Birder's paradise. Ate all our meals on the patio, enjoying Mother Nature. Downside was that there was neither cable nor satellite for the TV.

The house was very comfortable and homey. Loved the colors. They thought of everything. Extra blankets in the LR to keep you warm while curled up on the couch chatting, night lights, the simple things :) The view of the lake was nice too :). Other than the weather, we had a wonderful sisters weekend and it felt like home :)

This was our 2nd year staying here for a long weekend…it’s perfect. Great location to access all of the wineries, the house was very clean and spacious, and the fire pit is a perfect way to end the day. We plan on being back again next year.

By far, this was the cleanest property I’ve ever rented. It was very well appointed and comfortable. For the highlights of FLX that was on my agenda it was perfectly located. The moonrise and sunrises were a bonus. Thank you!

This property was amazing - deer, woodchucks, and chipmunks regularly came to check us out. Both patios looked amazing - however, we arrived just as hurricane Ophilia made it to the area, so it was cool, overcast and rainy for all but one of the days so we were not able to fully enjoy the outdoors. We did a chartered wine tour, drove around the lake and went to several more by ourselves, hiked to the waterfalls at Watkins Glen state park. It was so peaceful and quiet, but so close to many attractions. We will be highly recommending the property management service, and specifically this property in the future
