Peaceful and relaxing

We absolutely loved our stay here. The house is beautiful with an amazing view to wake up to. Lots of privacy with Great Lake access. Tim was really fast getting back to us when we had questions. This was a great place with a wonderful host. Would recommend

Quiet Getaway

We live in Syracuse so rented this property for a quiet getaway. The property is perfectly secluded and surrounded by trees offering the privacy we were looking. The lake front was wonderful (although a lot of stairs). There was a giant dock that could fit all of us. We went fishing, swimming, kayaking, and just hung out by the beautiful waterfront. There was plenty of space in the home so that we could comfortable host some family and friends. The only drawbacks were the leak on the bathroom ceiling that was growing visible mold, and there must not be any insulation between upstairs and downstairs because anytime someone on the second floor bedrooms walked, it was SO loud and creaky and would wake us up downstairs in the master. Other than that it was well stocked, Private, and gave us a wonderful, quiet, and relaxing weekend away.
