What a Lake
Posted May 6, 2024 on HomeAwayThis property is in a perfect location. The house was clean and had all the stuff you could need to enjoy your stay. Silverware, cups, plates towels, blankets, bedding ect. Just beware the low ceilings down stairs, they got my husband a few times. The lake and docks are stunning. The hot tub was very clean. All around a great stay.

Interesting old (historic feeling) lakefront home
Posted Feb. 27, 2024 on HomeAwayFascinating old lakefront home, exactly as advertised.
I would have rated this property 4 out of 5 overall but there were a couple of nuisance items that need to be resolved for others’ full enjoyment.
1. The old refrigerator in the kitchen was barely functional. The freezer section seemed to be OK but the refrigerator section chiilled the contents slightly below room temperature. There was no temp adjustment available in the refrigerator. Bottom line: Replace that refrigerator.
2. There was no running hot water in the downstairs bathroom sink. The downstairs bathroom shower was perfectly fine but the hot water for the sink was cutoff. The shutoff valve below the sink was open for hot water but none came out. That sink was limited to cold water only.
Don’t get ne wrong, I would stay at this home again, but these basic items need to be resolved.

Great location and views
Posted Sep. 21, 2023 on HomeAwayLocation was excellent with awesome views. However, the house is old with cobwebs and spiders. Could use a power wash. The house has only 1 shower and bathtub which would be quite inconvenient if 10 people were staying here. You have to walk through bedrooms to get to another bedroom….no real privacy. Kitchen very small with a table for 4. We ate outside on the balcony or the patio. If you are safety conscious, the windows do not lock. Howver, the location seemed safe enough. Water supply to the house appears to be from the lake although bottled water is supplied for drinking.

Generally Great
Posted Aug. 16, 2023 on HomeAwayAbout 10 minutes north of Watkins Glen and an easy drive to Penn Yan, and wineries and antique stores, which is what we were after.
Beautiful view and nice water access. Stairs to get to water. Nicely decorated and comfortable. We had four adults. Could have easily had more.
I would have liked more comfortable furniture inside.
Despite GPS or any other directions, do not access using North Glenora Road. Use South Glenora Road. Road to cottage is a difficult hairpin turn if you use North Glenora.
A guest using a toilet should not be the way they find out that it is not functional. Vacasa maintenance said they could not fix due to low pressure and old plumbing, which means they knew it was an issue.
Shower on the first floor bathtub on the second.
Water front area had some furniture, two docks, a rowboat, canoe, and kayak.
Despite my misgivings noted here, we really did like it,

Wonderful lakeside getaway.
Posted May 4, 2023 on HomeAwayWe were greeted by a cascading waterfall just outside the door! The wraparound porches and cozy tucked away nooks offered perfect places to talk, play a little music, read, nap, and enjoy the dazzling lake view. The quaint old fashioned decor spoke of a long history of happy family times. Modern conveniences including a jacuzzi kept us comfortable and relaxed.

So much potential
Posted Oct. 5, 2022 on HomeAwayOverall this property and the views are amazing. Feedback for the owner and management company would be to invest some money in safety and cleanliness and not to mention removing the clutter and decor to make it feel more inviting. The fire pit was awesome however please use caution on the treacherous unlit stairway to the water at night as I did fall on these steps. The driveway down could be labeled better and low clearance vehicles will struggle not bottoming out on it. The house did smell like mold/damp or even like a gas or propane type of smell. The management company’s communication far exceeded my expectations however there were 2 lockboxes and the code did not work on either, however the doors were all unlocked so we just went with it and left it unlocked. Overall this was a very nice property and if you go into it with the expectations this is an old outdated cabin with cobwebs and not expecting a high end stay you will do just fine. The bathroom layout is a bit odd and the two single beds are in a room by themself while the two double beds you need to walk through one to get to the other and the lower bedroom is the nicest by far however the only shower is in an odd hallway type bathroom. I would recommend spending a few dollars to make this a more safe and clean property and feel it’s slightly overpriced in comparison because of some of these items. I am glad I read reviews on all platforms for this property so I want in with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised.

Great location
Posted Jul. 14, 2022 on HomeAwayThis is the second time we stayed at this cabin. If you are looking for bright, new and shiny this is not for you. We love the old cabin and all of its charm. Could use a few updates but otherwise it is great.
