Holiday Cove: A Great Place for a Family Vacation!

Welcome to Holiday Cove, your perfect Finger Lakes retreat located on a quiet, private road within a friendly lake community. This spacious, modern home comfortably accommodates larger groups or families looking to relax and enjoy lake life together.

Step inside to find a stylish, open living area with hardwood floors, cozy upscale furniture, a wood-burning fireplace, and flat-screen TVs—ideal for unwinding after a day of exploring. The oversized kitchen is a chef's dream with plenty of counter space and all the cooking essentials you need to prepare family meals. Gather around the dining table or head out to the large Trex deck, where quality outdoor furniture invites you to dine alfresco or lounge in the sun. For shade, retreat to the covered veranda off the dining room, perfect for sipping morning coffee or evening drinks.

Holiday Cove offers four bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a main-level king and queen bedroom, twin singles, and a lower-level room with two doubles plus a queen sleeper sofa. The finished lower level doubles as a fun kids' retreat or extra guest space, giving everyone room to spread out and relax.

Outside, enjoy a large, level lawn perfect for outdoor games and quality time with your pets (up to two dogs allowed). While the lakefront sits in a peaceful cove with limited swimming due to natural weeds, it's a fantastic spot for fishing. You'll also have access to a kayak and rowboat for lake adventures. A nearby marina offers boat launching and docking options—just a short walk from the house.

End your day with a cozy fire at the lakefront fire pit or gather around the picnic table to soak in the serene atmosphere. Holiday Cove is ready to welcome your group for a memorable, relaxing Finger Lakes getaway. Book today and start planning your lakeside escape!

My stay at this property was as expected. I would encourage potential renters to read the reviews before booking and follow the suggested list of items to bring that was sent before your stay. The house was a bit rough around the edges - shades in one bedroom held up with duct tape that was worn, couches were worn with some rips and holes in the fabric, lots of dust under the couches. The bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and every bedroom had a functional window AC unit. The window AC unit in the living room was small and struggled to keep up with 90 degree August temps, but it was bearable. The kitchen had various utensils, however no seasonings aside from salt and pepper. There is a propane grill that was functional and used during our stay. The property does have a large house directly in front, however there is private dock access which was greatly enjoyed.The house is located in a shallow cove and was a popular spot for boats to anchor during the day. We enjoyed floating off the dock on hot days to cool off and the kids had a great time playing in the shallow waters. There is a firepit and picnic table by the dock that was also enjoyed. The area is beautiful with so much to do - my family and I enjoyed Great Gully and other hikes with waterfalls and swimming holes, local wineries, renting a pontoon boat for a day, venturing out to Seneca, and kayaking on Cayuga. All in all, the stay was good - just read the reviews!

We got there early and the management was very helpful in giving us accass. The house was not as clean as it could have been. The lower level was musty and swelled of mold. The some of the outdoor furniture eas broken and could not be used the picnic table by the firepit is broken and very unsafe. The dock was covered in cobwebs granted its outside but it still coukd have been swept off. Dispite those issues we enjoyed our trip. or furniturs was brok

Not at lake shore- but good for other reasons

Pictures of this rental aren’t realistic- proximity of lake to unit is farther than what it looks like. Very small window of lake view because of a large house directly in front of this unit. However, because of other positive elements; we still would rent again. Nice large kitchen and living room, 3 eating areas/tables, and comfortable bed’s upstairs. Dock had steps into water, and small fire pit. Picnic table badly needs replacing, and a chair was broken on deck but all else in good working condition including a nice grill. Kitchen was well appointed with many pots , pans and utensils. Was great for family and small kids!

rollercoaster all the time

Eventhough most of the problems were eventually resolved the first 2 days were VERY stressful! Couldn't get ahold of company that was taking care of house for 4 DAYS! (2 days before arrival then first 2 days there)Then they came and solved most of the problems but some of them came back with plumbing, called again and again NO replies. Area was overall nice.

House wasn’t clean. Crumbs under the dining room table & around the couch. Furniture had not been dusted. Listing said bedrooms & great room had window AC. Main floor twin bedroom had NO window AC & no window screen so window couldn’t be opened….very hot. Kitchen windows are painted shut & window AC is too small to cool the open floor plan of living room, kitchen & dining room. Could only open 1 sliding door. The screen door on the patio door with picnic table was broken and sitting on the patio. Pull cord for overhead light on main floor is missing. You can’t use the overhead fan unless the overhead light is also on. The mattresses are great on all beds but the pillows need to be replaced. Very nice house but needs attention to some basic details.

Lots of beds but only 2 closets.

Overall, it was a spacious and comfortable stay. The out side can use some night lighting. We could not find the front door nor the number on the house because we got there after the sun had set. The dishes could use an update because they were a bit dated and scratched from over use and washing in the dishwasher. We bought paper plates, cup and throw-away eating utensils. Also there were some stink bugs that had snuck into the one of the bathrooms and one of the bedrooms.

Beautiful home

Beautiful home with lots of room to spread out. Kitchen was perfect size for our family of 8. Very nice outdoor deck. There is a large home in front of this home so view of the lake from the deck was somewhat obscured. The firepit is great for toasting s'mores. Bedrooms were nice size and the beds were extremely comfortable. There was no screen in one of the windows in the master bedroom so couldn't open the window at night. The screen on the patio door is ripped, needs replacement. The personal touches made our stay very homey. All in all great home to stay while visiting wineries or boating.

Look out

Last minute cancellation of another property, the Look Out was offered as a "backup". The property was not "arrival ready". Grass was cut just before our arrival, grass clippings all over walk ways and common areas. Kayaks listed for use were full of water and had been for quite a while. Fire pit had weeds growing in it 3 ft high, was weed wacked the day before our departure. In closing, the last minute cancellation caused a 1:30 min commute every day to the area we had rented the first location to be close to. Unexpected things happen, but the level of effort to make our "backup" rental as good as it could have been was lacking.

Solid Rental

In person, the interior of the house actually seemed larger than in pictures, which doesn't happen often. The area was very nice, with a marina and restaurant less than a half mile away. Dock access was direct and easy. One downside is that one of the showers leaked into the basement where the double bed room is. It seemed like it may have happened before, but I'm not entirely sure. In the end, I would stay there again.

Awesome Family Vacation Spot

Absolutely fantastic location for a family vacation (7 adults, 2 young toddlers, and a dog). The yard was great for the kids and dog to play. The property was located far enough from the water that there was no danger of kids falling in, but still had lake access for fishing and kayaking. The house was spacious, the kitchen was equipped with absolutely anything you could need, the deck was beautiful and had plenty of space for everyone. The property manager was very responsive when we had trouble with the door lock and a hornets nest. We had a great time!

Perfect Getaway

Holiday Cove was the perfect getaway for my friends and me this 4th of July! While the house looks small from the outside, it is very spacious inside with plenty of beds in addition to plenty of space in the kitchen for cooking. We had an amazing weekend and easily got the help we needed when calling the office. Only thing I would change is that the dock was not cleaned off prior to our stay, so definitely pack flip flops :)
