    My family and I had a great time here! The property and location were perfect! My husband and children spent lots of time fishing and I loved relaxing by the fire pit next to the lake. On rainy days, the house was fully stocked with plenty of board games for all ages. Overall, this was a fantastic trip and I would absolutely recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway to the Finger Lakes

    As my 9-year-old said, this lake house is bigger on the inside. There are two distinct living areas. This was great for us because we could play games loudly in one area while other people watched TV in the other room without bothering each other. The property is scrupulously clean and well-maintained. The outdoor spaces are nice including a big fire ring near the shore.The house is conveniently located for the amazing gorge at Watkins Glen State Park. We also enjoyed a trail ride at a nearby horse farm. The west-facing deck delivers pleasant sunsets.The only negative is that this is not a very good location for swimming. The lakefront is quite shallow with a lot of lakeweed. While we were there, the algae was bad but I assume that varies throughout the year. We took the kayaks and canoe out once but it was kind of gross getting out of the algae bloom into the open water. The lake is very quiet with just a few jet skis and power boats throughout the day.

    Scenic views of the lake from inside and outside. Duckingham had everything we needed to come back after 10 hours of fishing. We plan on returning.

    Our stay in mid-June was relaxing.We especially enjoyed the view of a pastoral hillside across the lake. The cottage itself is clean and comfortable. The kitchen is compact, well stocked and efficient. The owners say in their description that they enjoy entertaining - the cottage seems well suited to that purpose, especially the stocked bar. We don't drink and were shocked to find free liquor there. All of the dining room chairs are so high that your feet don't touch the ground. We didn't find them comfortable for sitting or computer use. Same for the chairs around the table on the deck. The lighting is not very good for reading, but the couch and recliner are quite comfortable. Sleeping was good. Very quiet. A firm mattress, but sheets were too small. Quiet air conditioning. Good temperature, once we learned how to adjust the thermostats. Little boat traffic, as school was still in session. Fishing was not good even though June 15 was the opening day for bass. On one day, I kayaked for over an hour and only saw one other boat. There is good shade for lounging by the lake in the morning, but little in the afternoon when it is hot. The patio chairs and ottomans are very comfortable but not the chairs by the lake. The geese like the shore, so goose poop was an issue. The dock is excellent and there were several kiddie kayaks and paddle boards. There was a canoe, but no canoe paddles. In summary, a tidy, relaxing cottage despite minor inconveniences.

    This property is in a beautiful location right on the lake. The house comes fully equipped with basically anything you'd need, a real home from home!

    Nestled in a quiet location on the lake but still near all there is to do by the finger lakes. Great accommodation

    Despite the rainy weather, we enjoyed a long weekend at this great property. The heated kitchen floor was a bonus! It was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked. Great location. We visited 8 of the 11 Finger Lakes! We would definitely come back.
