Lovely Lake Cottage

Even with rainy weather, the lake was beautiful and the cottage was spotless. Close to Homer and Cortland for a fun filled baseball weekend. Noticed several other baseball families staying in the area. Thank you for the memories.

Cute cabin on the water

The cabin is adorable and was very clean. Lots of extras in the kitchen. Fu beauty decor. Bed was very comfy. The lake was beautiful and the furniture outside made enjoying it great. The floor is very uneven under the new laminate. So its a little rocky when you walk around. Just so you are aware. The bathroom is older but very clean. The neighborhood was a little more run-down than we expected, but no one bothered us. The cabin was definitely the cutest in the area. The owners have gone to alot of work and expense to make it welcoming.

Cozy place right on the lake

We had a great time fishing from the doc, using the kayaks, swimming in the lake, and using the fire pit. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was functional. The owner was quick to respond with any questions we had. If we come back this way this will rental will be at the top of our list. There is enough parking for three vehicles and there are so many options of other things to do within 30 minutes. If you like good beer and AMAZING food, check out Aurora Brewing Company during your stay as well as Long Point State Park.

Lovely little cottage

We chose Lily Pad cottage as our base for the eclipse weekend. It had everything we needed plus some. Had it been warmer, I’m sure we would have enjoyed kayaking on Little York Lake with the kayaks provided. All in all, 10 out of 10!

Cute little Cottage

We loved our cute little cottage. My husband and I stayed overnight but we did enjoy inviting my twin sister and her family for a dinner on our birthday. The cottage had enough room for 3 cars and seated 6 so it was a perfect fit for us. It was close to the water and would have enjoyed the patio porch and kayaks if the weather would have been better. The owner was very cooperative and helpful.

Idyllic

This idyllic setting offered me the quiet space to think after busy days spent at a conference in Syracuse. My favorite was when I was sitting in the living space, with the fireplace burning as a blue heron flew past.

Vacation

Overall very pleasant .. only a couple of things that need attention. The shower needs all tile to be renewed and caulked .. tub was slippery .. could have fallen.. install grab bars and non slip bath mat would solve this potential accident issue. The host was pleasant and accommodating! The internet was on and off.. this was not the fault of the host. The host sympathized and made calls into Comcast in hopes of fixing.
