Comfortable, cozy, coveniently located cottage!
We had a great time! The cottage is rustic and quaint, but with all the creature comforts of home away from home, including a dog/kid gate on the porch which was awesome. Bed and pillows in the porch room were great, along with all the window shades to save you from the sunrise of you don't want to wake up early and dressing privacy from the lake and the main house. The small room bed could use a topper for extra cushion but still not bad. This place had everything we needed except marshmallow skewers, we left some there for the next visitors. Convenient travel to all the attractions...15 min to Penn Yan, wineries all along the way, 15 minutes to Geneva, several state parks within a half hour drive, tons of flea markets and antiquing within reasonable distances. Lots of great little towns to visit. Great ice creameries close by. My only 3 cons are 1) childproofing (door on utility room door has no latch and slide bolt is on the inside of the door?? - all cleaning chemicals and drawers of spray paint, etc all in low cabinets and drawers in the bathroom) 2) the main stairs to the water are dangerous. Oddly spaced and slippery when wet, need some step grip tape. The shared stairway is much safer. 3) Entrance to the lake for swimming is very rocky (take your water shoes) and there is no ladder to get back onto the dock if you want to swim out there. Again, we had a great time and enjoyed our stay and would stay again. It rained alot while we were there, great show on the porch.
