The stay was fine. We had an issue with Wifi codes. The instructions emailed to us stated a different code than the info binder in the house and was different than the small plaque in the kitchen. The one in the kitchen was correct. Those others need to be updated so it's not so confusing.The remote for the LR TV would not page to the right so it was difficult to get anywhere since all stations/icons were on to the right. We changed the batteries in the remote and somehow was able to - only by luck - able to move the cursor to the right; but not all the time. Very frustrating. Remote should be replaced. Beds were comfortable and plenty of towels were available. Property was nice with big yard. We enjoyed our visit to Seneca Lake
