Great lakeside home base for Finger Lakes fun
Our family of four from NYC had a fantastic week's stay at this property. Kids loved the hammock, playing in the shallows of the lake, the kayaks, the fire pits, the selection of games, and having their own rooms for a change. Grownups loved the location, the quiet, the cute aesthetic, having coffee in the sunroom, the kayaks (and variety of life jackets, including for small and medium kids), and the comfortable beds. Kitchen had what was needed to cook and eat meals when we didn't want to eat out. Kitchen also has window unit a/c, which kept the whole main room area cool. Towels, bedding, and furniture seemed new.
We made a fire in the fire pit down by the dock, watched the sun set from the dock chairs most evenings, hit up the winery just up the hill, ate breakfast twice at Toni's Diner just down the street (definitely recommend!), washed and dried clothes (bring your own laundry soap, and a flashlight if you're doing it at night), and really enjoyed being right on the lake.
It's a quick drive into Watkins Glen, and 35ish minutes to Ithaca and a bunch of surrounding waterfalls, trails, and swimming holes. We drove a little farther to Corning and toured the Museum of Glass one day—really interesting!
