Nice spot near a plant nursery and many nooks and crannies in the area. Very close to SUNY Cortland and suited our needs for the event we were attending there. This place would be AMAZING to visit in the fall - the views are gorgeous!

I made this reservation for family members coming into town for a memorial service. Before their arrival, I contacted the host about the possibility of checking in early as they were driving from Tennessee with two kids. He was very responsive and accommodating. He even set up the pull out beds after I told him my nephew and family would be traveling overnight. Directions for accessing the property were clear and thorough.The property is very charming and worked well for our purposes. I like the way the downstairs is arranged into several separate areas (living/tv room with sliding doors onto a deck), a small dining/sitting room with windows with lake views on the two exterior walls, and a central office/sitting area that is central to the dining area and to the kitchen. The kitchen has everything you could need. Because we were traveling with children, it was nice to have space where adults could have conversations while the kids played. Speaking of playing, the board games were a big hit! We played so many games of checkers. The upstairs rooms are quiet so some members of the family could get some rest and privacy while others were still visiting. We really enjoyed our stay. We're already considering the possibility of staying here on our next visit this summer.Thank you for a great stay during a difficult time.

Restful house with great deck

Our visit was quiet and calming, just what we hoped for. The house is nicely decorated and provides all the amenities that we needed. It’s right on the lake and has a nice large deck. The setting is very country, but there are a few places to visit. We went to a country store that had food and other necessities, a rather large plant store, and Bob’s barbecue, which was excellent. The hosts were readily accessible. In the summer, this would be a fun place for a family visit. In the fall, it provided us with a peaceful getaway.

Perfect Lake Cottage

I was so impressed by all of the amenities this Lake cottage had to offer! James was so easy to communicate with and made our stay extra special with the smores basket and breakfast supplies he had waiting for us! The views from every room are to die for and the fact that there were four kayaks available for our family to use made it possible for us all to enjoy the beauty of the lake together. We will undoubtedly be returning next year!
