One of the best VRBOs we have ever stayed at….the pictures don’t do it justice! Waking up every morning and sitting outside with a cup of coffee in front of your own waterfall was absolutely incredible. The hosts were very nice and accommodating as well. 5 stars.

The photos online doesn't do the cabin justice. The interior was large, updated and clean. By far the best VRBO property that we have ever rented. We are looking forward to another visit next year.

This is like staying at your best friend's house where they have tried to anticipate your every need. The creekside, wooded location can't be beat and is only 20 minutes from Colgate University. Wish it had another private bedroom but we were quite comfortable.

Beautiful property, loved the waterfall in the back! The house was very sound proof and you can barely hear it until you open the doors. The only quibble is the bed upstairs needs a new mattress.

As a guest it is difficult to leave the Cottage. You want to stay longer. While there you become part of it and immerse yourself in the beauty, tranquility, and design throughout, including the handblown sconces, cornice details, wood corbels, and of course the sound of the rushing falls. Your mind and soul become one; you are transported into a magical state of being, not wanting to return to reality. Robin made all this happen with her vision. Her attention to detail, willingness to share and go beyond expectations made it possible to experience the Cottage in a beautiful, personal way. Thank you for your hospitality, responsiveness to all questions (no matter how mundane) and your generosity. Robin is an amazing host who has left nothing to want in her well stocked incredible home. Thank you for giving us memories to last us for the rest of our lives.

We had a wonderful stay at this charming cottage nestled beside a stunning waterfall. The natural scenery was breathtaking, offering a serene backdrop that made our trip truly special. The cottage itself was beautifully crafted, with impressive woodwork that added warmth and character. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touch of stocked water and adult beverages available on the honor system (take one, leave one), which made us feel right at home. Highly recommend this unique retreat for anyone seeking nature and comfort!
