Disappointed
The cobwebs/spiders thru out the whole ceiling of the house showed it had not been cleaned/dusted in quite a while. There was no real view of the lake just the top of the house and bushes of the back deck. The stairs leading down to the lake are very dangerous for children and older adults. When you get down there was NO beach at all which was never mentioned in your AD. Overall, we were very disappointed in the location, lack of beach, lack of lake view, and cleanliness of the house. We did not leave a review in your book as it would have been very negative and felt that hopefully after leaving a review online to you, you will try and advertise your home a little more honestly. We won't be back.

Ironman weekend
Perfect spot for Ironman Musselman plus literally right down the road from my favorite winery, Billsboro! Dock was great perk, I was able to get out in my paddle board a couple times. Loved the patio for morning coffee and the little pavilion was nice in the evening. Very clean. Would definitely stay again! One thing to note for elderly or physically impaired, the steps to the dock are many and very steep which is due to the landscape not something that can changed. Was not an issue for us but something to be aware of.

Family Graduation Weekend
Wonderful lake side home for extended family to gather to celebrate graduation weekend. The deck had amazing views of Seneca Lake. The covered picnic area had a new grill and a lake view, plenty of room to host a bar-b-q. Kitchen was very well stocked. Bedrooms were nicely decorated & comfortable.

Beautiful setting
The property was nice. Unfortunately, due to rain a few days ahead there were weeds that had grown over 4 foot tall that precluded us from seeing the lake from our fire pit or our porch or our gazebo.. Other than that, the house is well equipped the furniture was comfortable And we had a wonderful time in the finger lakes.
