Perfect small cottage for us and our dogs. Mary and her husband were very accommodating and we had a great time. Perfect home base for our trip that centered around hiking state parks.

Very nice cottage and beach and as is often the case, lakefront spots are always even better in person. Owner very responsive and friendly. Just can't beat the Finger Lakes!

Mike and Mary were wonderful hosts. Very prompt with answering questions and just very easy to talk to. The cottage was lovely and the location on the lake couldn’t have been better Super close to several wineries and breweries. Mike and Mary put together a great list of recommendations that was super useful. Highly recommend this adorable little cottage.

My husband, I and our dog had a great week long stay at Mary's and Mike's cozy cottage. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. Great outdoor deck with a fenced in yard below it for our pup! The views from the deck were amazing. The stairs going down were no problem and the lakefront was wonderful. Our pup loved playing and swimming in the water and we loved taking the kayaks out. Mary and Mike were very friendly and responsive with any questions we had. Loved our stay and hope to come back again!

The cottage was indeed cozy, perfect for a lakeside house. Kitchen was well equipped and clean, had everything we needed. Loved having the kayaks, we took a couple trips out on the lake in our short 3 night stay. The water front area is not ideal for swimming, but I still took a couple dips after kayaking... Great area - lots of wineries plus Watkins Glen and Taughannock Falls State park less than 25 minutes away. Geneva, only 35 minutes to the north, is another "cool" little finger lake town(small city) on the north end of the lake - "Lake Trout Capital of the World"

The house itself was clean and roomy. Had things been working properly and communication happened up front it would have been less disappointing. Pictures in the Liston are outdated. While the pictures show all the steps to the lake, the pictures show new well maintained steps, now the steps are ages and slippery. They need to be power washed. The fenced in yard is great for dogs but had now been mowed. The cold water in the whirlpool tubsb did not work. The lakeside area was junky with actually the owners stuff next to the dock area for this cabin. The picture left to show what area was shared and what was for each of the cabins did not look anything like what it looked like once down there. There were many rules including only making one trip down to the lakeside area per day, but if unable to go up and down the stairs, that should have been disclosed within the cancelation timeframe. The beach area was actually full of grass so it wasn’t really conducive to swimming. Or paddleboating. The house itself was great. The amenities we thought we would be able to enjoy as a “lakefront house” were not represented accurately in a timely fashion that would allow someone to make a decision about whether it was a property they would enjoy renting.

We really enjoyed our stay at this cute little cabin. It was very clean and enough space for our dogs and the two of us. The 75 stairs were not an issue at all, in fact, sometimes we went up and down a couple times a day. We loved taking the kayaks out. On our last evening around 7:00 pm we kayaked down the left and saw four huge bald eagles. That was amazing. There were a lot of good wineries and restaurants in the area. All of them were excellent. The view was so pretty. Also close to Watkins Glen and many other state parks. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

There are 100 steps down to the lake - yes, I counted twice.. This property is ABOVE the lake. It is a converted garage right on the 1.3 mile dirt road - do NOT bring a nice car. If you have any mobility issues, the steps to the lake can be slippery and it is steep. The kayaks are great! The cottage is dated but has everything you need. It is suggested NOT to drink the water as it is lake water and you need to bring your own toilet paper-weird. Perhaps I did not read the description well, but I wish I had known these things before I booked. The owner was very responsive when we needed ant traps.
