This is a really great cabin! Beautiful views and deck, awesome fenced in yard. Stairs to the dock are very steep but super well built and sturdy, dock is huge and beautiful. Stocked with everything you could need, they did think of it all and listing is very accurate. We will be back!

We had such a wonderful time at this lakefront cabin! From the moment we arrived, everything felt so clean, cozy, and welcoming. The views of the lake were absolutely beautiful — we loved having morning coffee out on the deck and watching the sunset in the evenings.Our dog had the best time exploring and enjoying the fenced in outdoors, jumping into the lake and swimming for hours- and it was so nice to stay somewhere that was truly pet-friendly without sacrificing cleanliness or comfort. My spouse and I especially enjoyed the quiet, peaceful setting — it was the perfect spot to relax, unwind, and spend quality time together.The hosts were incredibly kind and made sure we had everything we needed. We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway, and we’re already looking forward to coming back!

Terrific dog friendly property in an excellent area (3-4 minutes to Three Brothers and Zugibe wineries, 15 minutes to just about everything in Geneva and Waterloo). Well-stocked kitchen, incredibly clean, and attention to detail (e.g., refillable shampoo/conditioner/soap/lotion in bathroom). For dog owners, you will appreciate the very safe and secure fenced in yard. Loved the recently added deck - we spent every evening watching the sunset. New dock and kayaks were terrific, too, although there are A LOT of steps to walk down and up to get to dock but totally worth it. Property managers were incredibly responsive to the two questions we had - including same day replacement of one of the TVs that had stopped working. Neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. Really loved all the storage and the very convenient cubbies and hooks in the entryway. Terrific property, highly recommend.

Beautiful views of the lake, especially at sunset! Very pet friendly with a big fenced in yard. Modern and clean. Only suggestions would be having screens on sliding glass doors and fire pit tool. Thank you for a great weekend!

Lovely location on the lake

The house/location was lovely; only issue was our arrival in cold and wind and the minimal heating was inadequate. Owners contacted and we received additional heaters and all was well. High marks for the owners.

Relaxing with Beautiful Sunsets

We were able to stay at this property for a full week with our two dogs. The yard is completely fenced in and faces the lake so we could spend our days on the deck with our pups. It’s quiet, clean and comfortable. Saw some cool wildlife from the backyard including an eagle. They have great internet, no issues streaming content. Kitchen has any utensil you would need. Grill is large and gas so didn’t require purchasing charcoal. We will definitely look to stay again!

Everything was great. We had a super relaxing weekend. The fenced yard took away all of the stress we would normally have with our dogs there. The house was perfect and the king sized bed was dreamy.

Get away to the Finger Lakes

We had a great stay at Sunset on the bank, the cabin was perfect for our stay. Large open space with great views of the lake and check in check out was seamless. One improvement note for the owners, a couple entry mats right inside the front door would great to wipe of bottom of shoes before placing them in the cubbies, which were great to have.

Geneva cottage on the lake

Overall we enjoyed our stay in the cottage. The location is great, private with friendly neighbors along the road while walking our dog. It was so nice to have a fenced in yard for our pup. The deck is fairly new and has comfy furniture and a great view of the lake. Inside was clean with a nice kitchen, bathroom and sun porch. Beds and furniture very comfortable. The location is perfect to visit all of our fav Finger Lake locations, and we found a few new ones too. We were disappointed that the 3 sets of sliding glass doors in the sunroom/bedroom were older and none had screens. Only one window in the sunroom had a screen. It would be an awesome room fully screened and was the main reason, along with the yard, we chose the cottage. The bathroom could use more storage and hooks. Neither room has a place to hang clothes, hooks in the bedrooms would be nice. There was also an unusual amount of flies in the cabin, maybe because of lack of screens. Chris was great to deal with the whole way, responding immediately to all concerns and stopping by to bring a few needed supplies (along with ice cream!) She made sure our stay was enjoyable which was very much appreciated!

Lake Getaway

This property was the perfect spot for our short stay. The house has been recently updated and is stocked with anything you might need. The deck overlooking the lake was the best part for us. It is beautiful, very quiet and serene. The fenced in yard is a nice bonus for pet owners or those with chidren. It was a treat for my 86 year old mother and she no trouble getting around at all.

Peaceful MDW

Property holds true to its name. The sunsets were stunning every night. Booked the property for the peace of mind of a fenced yard with a dog, who enjoyed roaming around but we would have appreciated the grass cut prior to our arrival. Overall it was a great, peaceful stay we were comfortable, the fire pit was enjoyable and it’s super close to dog friendly vineyards and the state parks.

Beautiful location

This home is a refurbished cottage, close to the water with a beautiful view. The kitchen is well stocked with new appliances and any cookware or serving items that could be wanted. The bathroom is small but completely remodeled. Bring your own hair dryer. The bedrooms have nice beds and pillows, very comfortable. I wish there was a place to hang hanging clothes. Only the hooks in the entryway are available for that purpose. We very much enjoyed our stay, and hope we can repeat it in the future.

Awesome location, great communication with owner and tranquil setting. We had almost given up on VRBO due to several reasons but decided one more try. The location was quiet and private and there was very little traffic on the lake. Fenced yard for our puppy, lake view and walk/short drive to 2 wineries and a brewery. Loved it!
