Large Lakefront Reunion And Retreat Home With a large lawn and wrap around porch

We chose this home because of the location to the nearby finger lakes wineries and Watkins Glen State Park. The rooms fit 27 guests comfortably (sharing rooms; twin trundle beds pop-up). For parking, there is only room for 10 cars, as stated in the description. I misunderstood thinking we could park additional cars in the lawn. The front lawn is down a bank, only accessible with AWD vehicles. Some of our guests had AWD so it wasn't an issue if someone manages the parking. The kitchen had a lot of storage room in the pantry for groceries, and the 3 fridges (one outside, one on the ground floor) really came in handy for food and beverages. The dining room and wrap around porch overlooks the lake, beautiful sunrise and sunsets. The kitchen had everything we could possibly need. We used the island in the kitchen for staging the catered dinners we picked up from Watkins Glen restaurants, less than 1/2 hour away. From the comments we knew to bring bottled drinking water in lieu of the well water. There are neighbors on both sides, so we tried to keep the outside music turned down, and only had music inside after 10pm. Overall, everyone enjoyed their stay, and we would rent this again. Our host was responsive to all communication.

Property suited our needs for a large family gathering. Lots of space, beds etc. owner warned of sulfur water so we managed with bottled water and it was fine. Comfy gathering spots on big porches and inside. Hot water for showers for that many people is a problem even when you do your best to spread them out. The only cleanliness issue is the neighbor lady walks her dogs on the property many times a day. Dog poop in the yard makes it hard to play family games or even walk. Owner probably didn’t know it until now. He should tell her not to now.

Very clean, rustic house with a beautiful view of the lake. We had to be creative with parking to fit all of our vehicles, but we were able to make it work.

Place was awesome! Spacious! Beautiful lot! Kitchen had multiple refrigerators, 2 microwaves, and plenty of dishes, utensils, etc.

Very nice. Was a perfect accommodation for our family.

This is a very large older home. Our family lived the kitchen, wrap around porch and large dining room.We were unable to swim in the lake except by boat out in the center. The sulfur water was a bit strong and there were bees in the attic and ants in the kitchen. Nothing you would not see in an older house.

This house accommodates a large family group nicely. Love the wonderful big wraparound porches.

The property had a lot of space and room for everyone to have their space to sleep. And the lake was beautiful. We wish the living room was set up differently so there could be more communal areas for everyone to hangout. The big issue was that areas were not accessible as the listing said. It said that the lake front was accessible but there was no way we could get a wheelchair down there. We had issues in the house as well and were planning on using the wheelchair outside to get the downstairs bedrooms, but that was not possible. We also didn’t know that there would be well water. We definitely would’ve brought more water if we had known. Luckily there is a Dollar General down the street.

Gorgeous property! The house was exactly like the listing and was perfect for our retreat! Owner was very accommodating for parking and made sure we got into the house alright. Everything was very clean, just make sure you bring bottled water as it’s well water. Will definitely be recommending for future use !

LOVED.

The photos do not show how beautiful this property is! We all had an amazing time and it was wonderful to do it all under one roof! So much space to sleep. Beautiful wrap around porch and yard! Thank you!

This property is everything it has been represented and more. We were a family group of 27 and everyone had a comfortable bed to sleep in. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed. We brought paper plates for ease of use but ended up using everything that was already there. The grounds are beautiful. We enjoyed a week of fabulous sunsets and set up a badminton net on the lawn. The water implements were good as well. We used the kayaks and other available boats. I loved the bed covers and the decorations. I bought a water cooler and had water delivered. 10 5 gallon jugs sufficed. Thank you for a wonderful family vacation. There were plenty of activities locally to satisfy old and young.

The house is wonderful for a large group. Kitchen fully equipped to serve a crowd and we were all able to sit together for meals. Beautiful wrap around porch and lots of yard space. The only downside is the lake - unfortunately no one was able to swim du to the condition of the lake (hab). It seems that this is an ongoing issue with the lake.

The house was spacious and comfortable. Everyone loved the lake access, the large backyard and the huge porch. The owner was great and respinded immediately to iur questions. Comfy bes and enough bathrooms. One caution, thiugh--drivers really FLY on the road in front so small children and pets should be kept under careful animals
