Lake Get Away
We loved the location. Far away from any hint of city yet just a 20 minute drive from neat shops and great dining. The owners, Rod & Carmella, were awesome! The place is very clean. They were very generous with their space including use of the dock, kayaks and row boats. As their listing states...there is a lot of steps!!!! Totally worth the climb up and down to get to the dock! Vacation with a little exercise!

The glowing reviews are accurate. Lovely place, lovely hosts, lovely all around. Our trip highlight was kayaking into the sunset only to discover a nearly full moon rise on our way back to the dock.

Weekend Wedding
Great stay and beautiful property. They weren't lying when they said it was the best view on the lake. Only 20 mins from Auburn, NY where we attended a wedding. A great weekend getaway and wished we could have stayed longer! The bed was one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept on. We cooked breakfast one morning and all the appliances were clean and working. The water pressure on the shower was great. Wifi worked and the space was very cozey. Definitely recommend!

Lovely getaway!
We were the first guests of the season and our hosts were wonderful! The space is smallish and clean with a comfy bed and excellent a/c. It was just enough space for my husband and I. The apartment is right on the lake and has a fantastic view. Nothing is super close out there (as is the case with most of the Finger Lakes region), but there are some great restaurants in the nearby towns, beautiful state parks and tons of water activities. Highly recommend staying at Carmella and Rod's place!

Perfect getaway after SU drop off
Rod and Carm are wonderful gracious hosts. The room exceeded our expectations. Clean, light, airy, and comfortable. We read the description and reviews and knew what to expect with lake access. I’m stair phobic lol so was perfectly happy sitting on the deck to enjoy the breathtaking views. Looking forward to our next stay!

Beautiful countryside oasis
Centrally located to 19 different water falls, it was the perfect place for my wife and i to become familiar with one another again. Away from the monotony of day to day life. Rod and Carm are wonderful hosts, you couldn't ask for a friendlier couple to be your host and have opened their space for all to enjoy. Oh and the sunsets are awe inspiring.

Lovely stay in a beautiful area
We wanted a base to explore the finger lakes region in general. This place was ideal. The unit had everything we needed amenities-wise, a lovely view of the lake, access to kayaks and a boat, and a warm and welcoming host and hostess. We took day trips to Skaneateles (15 minutes) and Ithaca (40 minutes) and recommend both. We will certainly consider staying here again in the future.
