The waterfall is the obvious highlight, but the entirety of the cottage is charming in and of itself. From the loft to the fireplace to the bathroom overlooking the falls, everything was the definition of "cozy." Getting lulled to sleep by the rushing water every night and having our morning coffee on the deck overlooking the waterfall is something I'll never forget.

Everything at the Cottage was very well maintained . The only disappointment was the sleep by numbers bed which was uncomfortable and difficult to operate.A regular queen mattress would have been just fine.

One of the best VRBOs we have ever stayed at….the pictures don’t do it justice! Waking up every morning and sitting outside with a cup of coffee in front of your own waterfall was absolutely incredible. The hosts were very nice and accommodating as well. 5 stars.

This is like staying at your best friend's house where they have tried to anticipate your every need. The creekside, wooded location can't be beat and is only 20 minutes from Colgate University. Wish it had another private bedroom but we were quite comfortable.
