The host is very nice. The smell of rotten eggs from the water is hard to ignore. The place is hot. The fans are disgusting with so much lint and hardly have any air pushing threw. When it rained the toilet wouldn't flush. No towels for hands or shower. Yes theres a shower now but remember rotten eggs smell of water. One last thing... Too many nick-nacks . Its a small place you dont need all this stuff in your rental. Again, host very nice lady but place needs work.

A good place to get away!
The bed was very comfortable. I found the place a little dark, as all the windows are up in the front part by the kitchen. The kitchen worked out really well - had everything i needed! It was cold, damp and windy, and then snowed, so did not spend much time outside. I think I would love sitting in the yard or on the front porch in warmer weather. I liked that Amish buggies drove by and the road was very quiet. Also like that it is relatively close to Lake Ontario (maybe 15 miles) -- took a ride the first day to Oswego and then up to Mexico Point State Park. There are other state parks also along the lake just a bit up from Mexico Point.

Cozy Home Away from Home
This was such a cute little cabin to stay at while we explored the area and enjoyed being away from the city for the weekend. We stayed the weekend before the Fourth and had such a great night enjoying a fire in the back and watching fireworks in the distance. A really great stay and weekend overall. Thank you so much!!

You get what you pay for
No kitchen sink, no shower, mold that my dog got into, clogged toilet, and an overall bad smell drove us away from this property. We didn’t even stay longer than it took to clog the toilet and run the fowl smelling water in the bathroom sink which was supplied by a small water tank. My dog sniffed out all the mold right away. I should have read the listing better about the sink/shower. Very bad vibe about the whole thing.

Great little getaway spot!
The bed was extremely comfortable, the kitchenette had more than enough space for our purposes, and the view each morning was absolutely stunning. It’s also about 10-15 minutes from one of the best diners I’ve ever had the pleasure of going to- The Grist Mill. Could not ask for more. Only two things - The toilet does not have a lot of pressure, be prepared to plunge any solids. The TV is on it’s last legs- video quality isn’t great. They do have some pretty good DVDs though!
