Cute cabin on the water
The cabin is adorable and was very clean. Lots of extras in the kitchen. Fu beauty decor. Bed was very comfy. The lake was beautiful and the furniture outside made enjoying it great. The floor is very uneven under the new laminate. So its a little rocky when you walk around. Just so you are aware. The bathroom is older but very clean. The neighborhood was a little more run-down than we expected, but no one bothered us. The cabin was definitely the cutest in the area. The owners have gone to alot of work and expense to make it welcoming.

Cozy place right on the lake
We had a great time fishing from the doc, using the kayaks, swimming in the lake, and using the fire pit. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was functional. The owner was quick to respond with any questions we had. If we come back this way this will rental will be at the top of our list. There is enough parking for three vehicles and there are so many options of other things to do within 30 minutes. If you like good beer and AMAZING food, check out Aurora Brewing Company during your stay as well as Long Point State Park.

Lovely little cottage
We chose Lily Pad cottage as our base for the eclipse weekend. It had everything we needed plus some. Had it been warmer, I’m sure we would have enjoyed kayaking on Little York Lake with the kayaks provided. All in all, 10 out of 10!

Cute little Cottage
We loved our cute little cottage. My husband and I stayed overnight but we did enjoy inviting my twin sister and her family for a dinner on our birthday. The cottage had enough room for 3 cars and seated 6 so it was a perfect fit for us. It was close to the water and would have enjoyed the patio porch and kayaks if the weather would have been better. The owner was very cooperative and helpful.

Idyllic
This idyllic setting offered me the quiet space to think after busy days spent at a conference in Syracuse. My favorite was when I was sitting in the living space, with the fireplace burning as a blue heron flew past.

Vacation
Overall very pleasant .. only a couple of things that need attention. The shower needs all tile to be renewed and caulked .. tub was slippery .. could have fallen.. install grab bars and non slip bath mat would solve this potential accident issue. The host was pleasant and accommodating! The internet was on and off.. this was not the fault of the host. The host sympathized and made calls into Comcast in hopes of fixing.

Quiet Comfort
Vikki was a pleasure to deal with. Check in was easy with the information she provided and she was always available thru text message during our trip to keep us informed. There were plenty of supplies available for use which made meal prep at the house very convenient. The views are outstanding as you can watch the sunrise over the mountains from the back deck overlooking the lake. The location was also ideal for us as it allowed us to explore several areas nearby including Ithaca and Syracuse. Thanks for sharing your place with us.

Delightful respite
The cottage is so cute, clean, and full of thoughtful additions with guest's comfort in mind. It has lots of natural light in common areas, water views and easy multi-deck to pier access. Sunrises were lovely, as ducks meandered by, and light glistened off the rippling water, which is reflected on the ceiling of the living room each morn! We do wish wood had been supplied for the fire pit, but the cold temps and winter weather would have made our enjoyment of it brief, had we attempted a fire-side venture. The kitchen is beautifully equipped with gracious provision of a variety of spices, and pantry supplies freely offered. We felt right at home, were able to fully relax and enjoy our time away here. I would highly recommend this VRBO to others.
