Hidden gem with a few caveats
The location was undeniably the best part of this rental. We spent a majority of our time outside on the private beach, which offered plenty of space for our extended family of 10 to spread out and enjoy kayaking, fishing and just relaxing by the lake together. It was a true slice of paradise, and with close proximity to the state parks and Ithaca there was plenty to do away from the house when we wanted to change things up.
The house itself was well-maintained with a few updates in the bathrooms and kitchen and loaded with plenty of outdoor space to sit and play a game or enjoy the views of the lake with your morning coffee. The primary bedroom provided plenty of space. The guest bedrooms were a bit cramped and smaller than expected, providing little storage or space beyond a bed. Small box fans were present in each room which provided plenty of airflow during our time. However, The lack of air conditioning could pose a challenge during a warm spell as we learned on our last night. A mini split on the second floor is recommended. Water pressure was also a bit inconsistent in some of the bathrooms. The beach house was an excellent addition that offered additional space for our family though it was in need of a little maintenance. Overall, the experience was great. The host was highly responsive and incredibly receptive to our feedback. Would highly recommend and would absolutely stay again.
