The house was just right for our family Christmas! Thankful that our host had decorated for the holidays, making it feel more like being at home. Very well appointed kitchen. Fun to sit by one of the many windows and watch kids skating on the frozen lake, and wonder if the people ice fishing were having any luck.Loved all the special vintage touches throught the house.

Perfect blend of access to both lake and shopping. This was the most well appointed and equipped VRBO I've ever stayed at. It was like coming home to Mom's house where everything you needed was right where you expected it, and it was all planned for your comfortable stay. Super clean, and just a lovely place inside and out.

We fell in love with North Shore House! Everything about it felt welcoming and cozy and it was very well supplied. Sandra and Rob are gracious hosts, going above and beyond to accommodate us. Communication with them was outstanding! Fishing is best if you can get out onto the lake. Wilson Marine rents pontoon boats only, they are on lake Chemung. The Howell-Brighton area has all the familiar stores and restaurants as well as small, quaint businesses. I definitely recommend staying here. We didn’t want to leave!

Pretty Lake Front Stay

Pretty property overlooking a smallish lake. Nice backyard. We very much appreciated the back yard and neighborhood for walking our dog. And although he is not a water dog, he enjoyed being out back and watching the "goings on" at the lake: the fishing, the ducks, etc. The property was very comfortable for our 4 day stay.

Abundance of greatness

Sandra was the perfect host. The house was very clean and had way more supplies than any house I’ve ever stayed in. The fenced in yard (make sure the driveway gate is closed) was a relief from having to worry about the dogs. Beds were all very comfy as were the pillows. Water pressure in the shower is amazing and had enough hot water for a family of 5. The kids loved fishing off of the dock, racing the RC boat, and floating on the lake. There was even an extra fishing pole there. We had plenty of room for yard games. The neighbors on one side are residents and are very welcoming. The house on the other side is also a rental but was empty while we were there. The deck was my favorite place to be. Two tables with a total of 6 chairs, two comfy wicker chairs (one rocks) and an amazing rocking loveseat. The lights around the deck at night were so romantic. Note: bring lots of bug spray. I brought a small electric bug repellent device and we sprayed ourselves and made it out with minimal bites. Can’t say enough to really tell you how great it was. All I can say is we will be back for sure!

Just as described

The Northshore House was exactly as described in the listing. Plenty of room for three adults, two kids and two dogs. Great views from all rooms and nice size backyard. Lake was perfect for swimming from the small beach area or the dock. Owner was great to deal with. Check in and out process very easy. Highly recommend.

This property and the owners were so friendly and responsive...the house was so nice to stay in...it was perfect for our weekend getaway! It was also really cool and made it even more special that they shared their house with us, as the owners shared a special story of how the acquired the house...a very special family bond and story! We sooo appreciated staying there and had such a wonderful time!

Wonderful quiet neighborhood

Wonderful place right off of the highway. Sandra had anticipated all of our needs (and our dog's needs). Only thing that would have made the stay better would be some kayaks to explore the lake. House is starting to show it's age a little (the cabinet front was starting to fall off on one of the cabinets) but I'm sure Sandra will be sure to take care of it ASAP. Would 1000% stay here again.

Absolutely Perfect Lake Home

We enjoyed a long Labor Day weekend at this wonderful lake home and everything was just perfect! The home is beautiful and stocked with all the comforts and conveniences of home. The layout was optimal for our extended family with 3 bedrooms all with lake views and plenty of space to sleep for our party of 4-6 with teenagers coming and going. The beds were so comfortable and we all slept great. Bathrooms were spacious for a lake home and updated. Best part was the gorgeous fenced in yard that walked right out to the boat dock. Our chocolate lab was spoiled with easy swimming right from the yard and a safe yard to explore. We brought our pontoon and had amazing cruises around the large lake. Absolutely perfect! Can’t wait to come back!
