While the house is quite old, it was well kept up with a lot of character. Modern appliances, plenty of coffee, hot chocolate. Entrance is on the side, which took us a few minutes to figure out. Very spacious eating area. Easy access to laundry room. We didn't realize that the 5th bedroom is a loft, the steps to get up are steep. Thankfully we didn't need to use that bedroom. Nice to have 3 full bathrooms.

We are a group of active adults ages 50-65 who visited the Finger Lakes to hike, site see, and wine taste. We enjoyed our stay! The house is beautiful, the kitchen functional, outside porch is lovely. There are small misses - The bathrooms are meh. The tub in the downstairs bathroom drains slowly and needs to be snaked. There was only one dish towel and should have at least 3 - we cooked dinner for our group of 8 nightly. The house is on a fairly major road where cars drive past at 50 mph, so dog walking on the road is not possible. Although the house is set back from the street, I did not understand when I booked how busy the road would be. The grill was not clean - not an issue for us - we just used the oven. Some of the bedrooms are tight - the king size beds take up most of the space.The owner is incredibly responsive. We had some issues - not the fault of the house - with lack of power and internet due to storm damage, and she kept on top of things and supplied updates.The house is well priced for the space. I highly recommend it without hesitation.
