About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Top of the Fingerlakes, relaxing retreat.

Perfectly efficient setup, in a nice neighborhood, that’s in the middle of everything, right at the North end of Seneca lake. 3 minutes from the lake, 5 minutes from downtown Geneva, or 5 minutes from downtown Waterloo. If you're interested, ask about our bicycle and outdoor game rentals.. Hottub is no longer available.
The space
It’s a cozy place to crash, and relax after enjoying the area. Make some s’mores over a campfire in the backyard, grill dinner and hangout on the back deck, enjoy the WiFi or find something to watch on the tv via the fire stick ect...
Guest access
The out buildings (garage, and both sheds) and the truck camper, are off limits. There is also a spare room in the basement that I keep my belongings in. Please do not attempt to access that room.
Other things to note
If you are traveling with a pet or pets, there is an additional $50 cleaning deposit, (possibly additional fees/deposit if more than one pet). This is refundable if the place is cleaned thoroughly, especially in regards to any hair that is shed/left inside, and no evidence of the pet/pets is left behind. We also charge a $250 security deposit. On a rare occasion someone may very briefly visit the property, at a reasonable hour, just to retrieve something from the garage or shed out back
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like onsite parking.

Cute little bungalo
We enjoyed our stay at Nathaniel's little house. It was clean and neat. Easy to get in and out. Good location for our purposes. Close to Geneva with lots of restaurant choices was a plus too. Nathaniel was very responsive to questions.

Perfect cottage getaway
This place is exactly as advertised. The cottage is spotless, and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. There was even coffee, sugar and assorted creamers, which was a nice touch. Nate was communicative and easygoing. We will definitely be back.

Our little getaway
The house was very clean and cozy. The host welcomed us. He actually called on the phone. He asked us if we had any questions. There was quite a bit of extras ex: coffee, creamer,milk. He messaged me to tell us he needed to cut the grass so we actually got to meet him. Let’s just say he is very personable and welcoming. I definitely will stay here again.

Finger Lakes getaway
This little house was the perfect place for the two of us to stay while visiting the Finger Lakes region. It is only a short drive away from the top of Lake Seneca and close to Seneca Falls. Very cute cottage feel and comfortable bed Nate was very attentive and communicated all details needed. We would definitely stay here again.

Disappointing
This house and outdoor furniture was not well-maintained. It needed a deep clean and replacement of deck furniture and some living room furniture. Bathroom needed updating.

Clean and convenient
We only stayed one night on our travels but it was a very comfortable and clean spot to rest. I appreciated having a fenced-in area for our dog to stretch and relax off-leash. There was a notebook full of good information about the house, places to eat, and things to do in the area. I found him extremely responsive to my questions. If traveling through Geneva again I would certainly stay there.

Perfect Location!
Our stay was wonderful. You can tell the owners put a lot into making their home a friendly place for people going to wineries in the area! The host was kind and helpful, and the house was perfectly located between Geneva and Zugibe Vineyards! I would definitely stay here again :)

Supper Cute Rental!
I have nothing but positive things to say about this rental, First communication with Nate was a pleasure, he was so nice and accommodating. The house was supper cute, equipped with all the essentials, clean, smelled great upon arrival, great water pressure, the bed was really comfortable and the BEST part was - it is Pet Friendly! I am always so thankful & Grateful to find a Rental Property that will accept pets, I travel everywhere with my Dogs and it was perfect for them, nice big backyard and really helpful to have a portion of it fenced in, if it hadn't been so Hot they would have enjoyed it more. The house is on a Main road so it was piece of mind to know they were safe in the back yard. Thank you for having us, I would recommend this property.
