My family and I had a great time here! The property and location were perfect! My husband and children spent lots of time fishing and I loved relaxing by the fire pit next to the lake. On rainy days, the house was fully stocked with plenty of board games for all ages. Overall, this was a fantastic trip and I would absolutely recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway to the Finger Lakes

As my 9-year-old said, this lake house is bigger on the inside. There are two distinct living areas. This was great for us because we could play games loudly in one area while other people watched TV in the other room without bothering each other. The property is scrupulously clean and well-maintained. The outdoor spaces are nice including a big fire ring near the shore.The house is conveniently located for the amazing gorge at Watkins Glen State Park. We also enjoyed a trail ride at a nearby horse farm. The west-facing deck delivers pleasant sunsets.The only negative is that this is not a very good location for swimming. The lakefront is quite shallow with a lot of lakeweed. While we were there, the algae was bad but I assume that varies throughout the year. We took the kayaks and canoe out once but it was kind of gross getting out of the algae bloom into the open water. The lake is very quiet with just a few jet skis and power boats throughout the day.

My 2 friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cozy cottage. The home was very clean and well stocked with kitchen and other necessities. We especially enjoyed the outside area and fire pit. The location was perfect for us as first time visitors to the Finger Lakes area - easy travel to many great wineries on Seneca and Keuka Lakes, and Watkins Glen. The kitchen is a bit small, as the photos of the property show, so group cooking was difficult. Other than this small detail, the property fully meet our expectations and needs.
