We had the most wonderful experience at this beautiful Lake House. Randall was an excellent and communicative host, and made the entire process go smoothly, from check-in to check-out. The house was exactly as described, and sunrise over the Lake was a sight to behold. The house was well-stocked with anything you could need and then some. The hot tub was immaculately clean and the perfect temperature, as it got chilly at night. Unfortunately we didn't have a chance to use the kayaks, as the Lake had some flooding and debris that made it feel a little risky. The spiral staircase is a bit narrow, but exactly as pictured and described in the ad. The driveway is a bit steep, and might be difficult to manage if you have a larger SUV or truck. The house is very close to downtown Ithaca, local wineries, and parks. Overall, a great house in a great area. I imagine it's even more beautiful in the summer.

Great stay for our 10 year old and dog. Right on the lake. Host was available at all times. Spiral Staircase to get up to the bedrooms but the dog was fine downstairs. Great location near Ithica and plenty of hiking trails and restaurants. We had an awesome April weekend.
