Was never contacted by host
Booked and paid in July for October stay. Never heard from host how to access property. Had to find a last minute hotel. Finally received a call from her as we were driving home. Said she’d been sick. I asked for refund but haven’t received it yet

Charming Finger Lakes Cottage
The property we were supposed to stay in somehow got double booked, so Heather offered to let us stay in her other property, a charming cottage on Lake Owasco. We loved it. The place had a relaxing Zen vibe, all the amenities one could hope for, and a great view of the lake (complete with gorgeous sunsets). If we're ever back in the area, we'd definitely stay there again.

Enchanting Escape
History, romance and tranquility abound in this exquisitely decorated cottage! This is the perfect setting to celebrate a special occasion or just to unwind. We loved the enchantingly landscaped cottage gardens, so close to the quaint town of Skaneateles. Heather, the gracious host, provides perfect amenities to enjoy your stay. Thanks so much!!! M & B

VRBO messed up...but Heather saved the day!!
So....through no fault of Heather's, VRBO double booked this property!! She immediately contacted me with another property she had available and we took it sight unseen. It turned out to be amazing and even more suited to our needs than the schoolhouse! We hope to visit the schoolhouse one day but until then, all we can comment on is the great communication and flexibility of Heather and the fabulous time we had at the alternate location she provided! We will definitely be back!

Perfect romantic getaway
We visited the school house and it was absolutely wonderful. Heather was so great to work with. She was very quick to answer any questions and gave a lot of recommendations. You can tell she is very passionate about her property and what she has done with it. We were so close to the village, winery’s and great restaurants. The property itself is very charming and quaint…exactly what we wanted. It is well equipped with everything you could need. We will definitely be coming back!
