Beautiful place, wonderful host
Sublime sunsets indeed! The location is spectacular; with a great screened porch and deck for enjoying Cayuga. Incredible sunset views. Very quiet pleasant little road of cottages to walk down, little waterfalls all along the way. Cottage is extremely nice also, and the host wonderfully communicative and helpful. Thank you Kimberly!
