Reviews From Our Past Guests:

This home was beautiful. Very clean, well appointed, quiet location. My grand babies loved the playroom. The host was super helpful. There was a lovely welcome basket upon arrival. -Catherine

A great choice for a group based on its condition, location, and amenities. The house was new and comfortable, and the location allowed for a secluded stay but was still in close proximity for lake recreation or wine tours. Thanks to the hosts for their professionalism and hospitality! -Cody

All you need and more

We were in town for a wedding. This house and the location had everything we needed. The back porch overlooking the large yard provided peacefulness I didn’t know I needed. The basement had plenty of games for us to enjoy during any down time we had. The bedrooms were spacious and plenty of extra , comfy blankets to keep you warm during the colder nights. I’d stay here again because it would be a place I would purchase as a vacation home. Can’t recommend this house and all it has to offer. The welcome basket was the cherry on top for us. Thank you for allowing our family to make memories in your home.

Solved the March Blues

We had two (2) couples getting out of the house for a March sanity check and we had a very good weekend. The While Away Cottage is perfectly equipped to handle 3 couples, with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths The house and property is very clean - and they had everything you'd need including a fully stocked coffee bar. We are local so we know where "we are going" and this location was perfect for us. Penn Yan and a few great breweries, wineries and distilleries are 10 minutes We had a fabulous time and fully intend to book again.

Will rent again. Very nice house

2 couples, stayed there in mid November. House inside and out is practically brand new. Kitchen is well stocked, plenty of towels and linens. It was cold while we were there, but the outside deck is very large and spacious. Grill could use some help, and there are no TVs. Basement is a plus, but we didn't use it. Property manager lives right across the street and greeted us when we arrived to make sure everything was in order. When we come to the finger lakes, we will rent this house again.

This cottage was more like a home. Everything that you would want at your fingertips was there, plus so much more. Everything is super clean and updated and the owners are wonderful. We had a problem starting the fire pit, and with one phone call, the Ivan was there to replace the propane tank

Immaculate place

Our stay was amazing. The place was newer, immaculate, and so cozy. The coffee bar was great. We spent lot of time on the patio enjoying the peace and quiet and taking in the backyard. Although we don’t have small children the finished playroom in the basement was adorable, and the air hockey and pool table was fun for us adults. It was the perfect place for a family vacation.

A perfect stay

We had a great time at this property. The house was super clean and had everything you would need for a great stay. The owners even left us a little welcome basket complete with waffle mix and maple syrup...a very nice touch. So close to the lake, which we were looking for. A huge property, which the pictures don't do it justice. I wish I brought a badminton net! However, the owners have lots of outdoor games. My only suggestion (and this is a reach as everything was great) is that the fire pit (which we loved) is a little far away from the house and there were no chairs available, so we had to carry the deck chairs down to the pit, which is a bit of a walk as the property is so big. Would recommend some outdoor chairs, which were viewable in the pictures of the house so we didn't bring any. Other than that small thing we loved everything about this place. They had everything you would need, even extra tooth paste! Amazing time. Thank you to the property owners for making our stay so nice!
