Exactly what we wanted for our anniversary trip- a lovely cottage with a stunning view of the lake. Clean and cozy. Would definitely stay again!
The cottage was perfect for my boyfriend and I. There were plenty of towels, dishes, utensils, etc. Owner was extremely responsive when the power went due to a storm and was able to get us ice from the cottage next door and was willing to bring down a cooler and more ice if we needed. The only thing was that the listing stated coin laundry so we assumed it was in the campground next to the property or even on site but it was the laundromat up the street. We should have asked and clarified that during booking
Excellent stay, cottage has everything we needed, close to many parks with hiking and waterfalls. Lake is extremely clear and we enjoyed the kayaks and campfire by the lake.
Great place for relaxation, sunsets & boating Cottage very clean, comfortable & everything you need. Midge is very responsive & a pleasure to rent from Advice to boaters, Hibiscus Harbor within walking distance & nice place to rent a slip; however, the launch is pretty terrible, you can launch 1 mile down at Frontenac Park for $6 and much safer for you & your boat.
The cottage is located on a point on the periphery of a permanent-stay RV campground, but it is separate from the campground. After Oct. 10, the campground was closing up for the winter, so our stay was quiet. I expect it would be different in the summer. Not bad, just more activity in the campground as well as the whole area. The location is about a half mile or so off the main road, and continuing past there is a large marina and community of seasonal and year-round homes. Easy walking, and it seems a popular walking route, as we saw several people doing so each morning. The clean kitchen is well stocked with kitchen gear and appliances, so much so that there almost isn't room for it all. No place for groceries, and compact area for food prep. We expanded the table to its full length and turned it around, which worked out well for our food stuff. Living room is spacious but sparse, though adequate. The main queen bed and bedding were comfortable. The space itself is tight, with not much room for bags or to hang things. The second room with a bunk was not made up, and seemed to be more of a storage area at this point in the season. However, if spiffed up, would be an adequate second room. Bathroom was fine. Clean shower. Good towels. Deck overlooks the lake. Some pruning and trimming is in order to have a better view. About two stories worth of wood steps down to the dock and a little beach. Good: ducks and heron are nice to watch. Bad: They poop on the dock a lot. The village has a small full-service grocery for essentials, and there are places for pizza/subs/burgers for quick food. It's otherwise a low-key area. But for the curious and adventurous there are interesting eateries and sites within 20 minutes. Though the east side of Cayuga Lake has wineries (and we enjoyed the two in this town), the mother lode is on the west side. Recommend all of the well-kept state parks, primarily located near Ithaca, south end of Seneca Lake, and also Filmore SP, on south end of Owasco Lake. Cottage summary: Would stay again. Owner was pleasant, helpful and available nearby if needed (but didn't!). Recommend more thorough vacuuming to stay on top of cobwebs that are behind things and in corners, and also dog hair perhaps left from previous guests. Hooks near main door and in BR would be useful.
Had a wonderful time staying at this cottage. The property was just as presented. Very comfortable. The proximity to the lake was wonderful with a nice area to sit to the left of the dock. One of our favorite parts were dinners on the deck overlooking the lake while watching the sun set. Midge was very communicative and helpful. I would highly recommend this property for a peaceful vacation.
The house was good for 2 friends on a fishing trip. Great sunsets from the deck. alot of steps down to the water but worth it. Best trip EVA!!!! Thanks Midge M & M
Great view of and access to the lake. Even when the weather wasn't good for outdoor action it was fun and relaxing to watch how the lake reacted from the comfort of the deck or even inside. Near perfect setup for a week's stay in May for my spouse and myself.
Would love to go back and stay again!
I had a wonderful time at this property. The views of the lake were magnificent. I would love to go back there again.
