    This was the perfect house for a fall getaway. The house was as listed. The property was beautiful, lots to do outside…hammocks, outdoor games and a fire pit. The property has all the amenities you would need like toilet paper, paper towels, kitchen items and toiletries. Communication with Hana was wonderful. Would definitely recommend staying here.

    A beautiful property and very cozy. The fireplace is great for chatting with friends, and the view of the sky is amazing.

    It was a perfect location.. love the house. The only draw back was the internet connection was not strong... but we were out celebrating, wine tasting and visiting family and friends most of the time anyway.

    I stayed here with my family, six adults and two children. We had plenty of space! The property is AMAZING! We loved the outside picnic area and fire pit. Tons of space for the kids to enjoy. It is completely centrally located for hitting Watkins Glen and Ithaca, plus close to taughnnocan falls and wineries/breweries! Our favorite was Scale House-Just 4 minutes away and Hector Wine Company just 7 minutes away. The only flaw was that it does not have central air (my fault for not checking) and it was HOT when we checked in, but two of the upstairs bedrooms have window units and can cool the entire place down if you leave the doors open. Hana was easy to get in touch with, the no key lock in the door makes coming and going so easy, and the property is awesome! Highly recommend and would stay again!
