We had such a wonderful weekend. It was so peaceful and felt like we were right at home. The home was very clean and had everything we needed. The kitchen was well stocked for our home cooked meals. The view is beautiful and while there are quite a few steps down to the dock, it was really not an issue. The stairs are very sturdy with a nice landing in between. The fenced in yard was secure and quite spacious especially for my little chihuahua. He had a blast exploring the yard! The host was friendly and very responsive. I highly recommend!

The house, location, distance to downtown - it was all perfect. The kitchen was extremely well stocked which was important for my group and I because we wanted to eat most of our meals in to maximize our time at the lake and relaxing at the house. When we did venture out, downtown Geneva, and Wegmans were a short drive away. The lake was beautiful - although it was a little colder and windier than we were expecting - we still managed a couple of swims and spent most of our evenings watching the sunset and skipping stones. The trek up the staircase requires commitment though (but it felt secure). The house was what everything we needed it to be and provided a quiet break.

Such a beautiful little getaway! Breathtaking view inside or out in the fenced yard. Super clean and cozy, felt right at home! Great fenced in yard for the dog. Stairs are definitely a work out coming back up, but it was worth the view! Kitchen and bathroom super pristine and stocked so you can stay put and enjoy your full stay. Would definitely recommend to others and come back for a second stay!

Great place to stay. Nice house, clean bathroom, large comfy beds, open area concept with lots of room for our family of three. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking meals. Beautiful view of the lake, large fenced in area for our dog and a nice large private dock for kayaking, fishing and swimming. Enjoyed sitting in the Adirondack chairs by the water having our morning coffee and watching the beautiful sunsets. Conveniently located minutes from several wineries and breweries. The host was excellent with communication and a fast response with any questions we had. Highly recommend for stays.
