Great place to stay with kids!
It was a clean nice cozy place to stay! Everything you need is there for you, or you can get within 5 miles of the house. Within minutes of being there, my son caught his first fish. The area is private, but I did feel like my fire was going into the neighbor's trailer. My sons had a great time of fishing the area for 3 days and there is a state park really close that is beautiful. Whether you stay on the property or explore you will have a relaxed enjoyable time.

Scammed
Cleaned cottage thoroughly before check out. Upon arriving home I received a message from property owner they were keeping 40 dollars of my security deposit due to some missing towels, a washcloth, and stated a cutting board was melted. The towels did get mixed in with my personal ones. We never saw a cutting board,as all the food was prepped ahead of time and we did all cooking outside. I touched base with the property owner to ask how much the security deposit was since I wasn't aware there was one to see if I could get a partial return. The property owner didn't respond. The most concerning thing is I stayed two years ago and didn't realize I was paying a security deposit and didn't receive a credit after checkout. Very sketchy. Will not be returning.

Our stay at Grandma’s Cottage.
The cottage is exactly what I expected, it reminded me of all the great times spent at my Grandparents cottage in the finger lakes. It’s an older building, but well kept, clean and comfortable. Everything you need is there and there is ample room for a small family. You are very close to your neighbors and there was very little space to park more than one vehicle. It was close to Fair Haven and Shady Shores which both have access to Lake Ontario. It’s a beautiful area. We had problems with the wi-fi from the start and it didn’t work at all for most of our stay, but no real problem if you can do without it. The owners are close and we’re friendly and Although we had no problems, I feel that they would be readily available. Overall I enjoyed our stay and would return if I get the chance.

It was as expected
The cabin was old but we expected that from the listing info. There was no access to the bay as that area of shared access was completely torn up and unusable (no fault of the cabin owner). Otherwise it met our desire to get away near water with our dog for a few days.

Very Comfortable
Grandma's Cottage is calming, relaxing, cozy. Just a perfectly nice place to unwind. The kitchen was well stocked with staples and the beds are comfortable. We saw butterflies and eagles, swans and kingfishers. We love the area and the natives are friendly. Try it!

Cozy
Beds were very nice in comparison to others we have stayed in at rental properties. Fully stocked camp! This was a huge bonus, bring your clothes and food and you are set. Cozy and comfortable, with a beautiful setting. Easy checkin. Perfect size for 4 (2 adults and 2 kids). Cons: There was a musty mildew like odor that was strong enough everyone noticed upon entrance, for those with sinus and allergy issues/asthma you would not want an extended stay or to stay inside relaxing and reading for your duration. After allergy meds I was still itchy and stuffy. We spent most of our time on outside adventures, so it was doable in our situation. Hosts are more than thoughtful as they literally have everything covered in the camp for a comfortable stay. Thank you
