Incredibly perfect!
I just wanted to thank you for having such a clean home. It made the stay great! The beds are amazing. We absolutely enjoyed every minute of our stay. Most important was the detail to cleanliness.We ended up with only 6 adults and 1 child. Which I thought was perfect. Everyone had a wonderful time in the game room and we throughly enjoyed the incredible amount of board games so for all of that we thank you for so much fun. Our granddaughter Katie who graduated from Hobart appreciated it all. Oh and they enjoyed the fire pit as well. I will highly recommend your property, When it comes to cleanliness, I’m the queen of picky lolThanks again!Charlotte

Cousin trip
We had a reunion with 8 first cousins coming from Albany and Toronto. It was a perfect meeting place. The house was exactly what we needed. Comfortable, plenty of beds, full kitchen, and gathering space! We spent Saturday afternoon at three brothers winery, and it was quick uber ride away. Great time !

Seneca 7 Race Crew
We came with a group of 7 for a team race. This was a perfect location. It was close to our start, had plenty of beds and bathrooms along with linens, towels and other items that were nice touches (soap, body wash, shampoo). The home was spotless and communication with the owners made check-in and check-out easy and simple and easy.

Just wonderful!
Great older home with classic charm but completely updated furnishings. Loved being able to walk into town, to get bagels and see the lake, but also enjoyed spending time with the family playing games, watching football, and making smores on the fire pit. Clean and bright and well appointed. Well done!

House was perfect
Few little things, no cookie sheet (s) in the house and trash bins were full already. Note said to leave kitchen like it was when you arrived, which we did but for the cost of the house I feel it’s bold to ask us to also clean the kitchen. Neighbors had multiple work trucks in the drive so we had no access even to unload.
All in house was great and perfect location
