Cornell graduation visit
After having an issue with another rental property canceling my reservation, I was lucky to find Debbie‘s rental! Even though it was close to 40 minutes outside of campus, it was well worth the drive. The place was very clean, easy to find, quiet, and a great place to head back to for a good night sleep after a long day. Debbie was easy to reach and responded quickly. Thanks again for a great weekend!!

Girls weekend trip in Ovid
I was a little skeptical about staying at an old church from back in the 1890’s but I haven’t sleep that good in a while! Super peaceful and quiet area. It could have been stocked with a few more things but overall it is a beautiful property. We would love to come back sometime soon!!

Wonderful weekend
Our accommodation was perfect for two couples for four nights. Very comfortable well equipped cottage in the quiet countryside with easy access to numerous wineries and golf. Having two bathrooms is ideal. We enjoyed using the BBQ.

Thumbs up for the cottage
This cottage was perfect for our needs. Location was good for traveling to all the lakes. The house was well equipped with all the necessities and was very clean. So neat this was a former church which is now soon to be three cottages. We enjoyed the fire pit in the evening with our friends. Will definitely stay here again!

Cute apartment/cottage central to 2 lakes
We came to cycle by the Finger Lakes, stop at wineries and breweries, and this place was central to Seneca and Cayuga lakes. The apartment was roomy and had 2 bathrooms which was great. It's in the woods so we saw quite a few bugs, spiders in the apartment. Some household items needed replenishing, like wraps, foil etc. The hosts were awesome, however, and unfortunately the last day I had a flat tire, and they came to get us and our bikes which I'm grateful for! Overall a good place if you want to get a feel for the Finger Lakes region.

Great Layout for 2 couples
When I made this reservation I received a confirmation from a third party (The Evolve Team). It concerned me. All worked out and the place and host were fine. But I will pay more attention to who I'm booking through as this usually causes more work/problems if there is an issue. The host follows the third party protocols (e.g., she must meet you when you arrive, and then she will grant you access). The accomodations are basic, but the layout works well for two couples for a short stay who are okay with driving to local sites.

Central Location
The unit was very nice and clean. Adequate for two couples. The owners were friendly and available nearby. There was nothing we needed. Just wish there was a regular coffee maker opposed to a Keurig. The outside of the building needs work, but seems to be a work in progress. Most importantly the inside was clean and comfortable. Location is perfect especially for wineries on both Lakes.
