We truly enjoyed our stay. Home was clean and well appointed. Beds were comfortable. Property was well maintained. There were lifejackets available for use with the provided Kayaks and canoe. The lake was very peaceful and private. The home had everything we needed from firewood to coffee, toiletries, towels and more. Kristen, the host, was great to deal with. She went above and beyond to make our stay pleasant. I give this property a 5 star rating except for the accuracy of the listing of Air Conditioning. The house is partially air conditioned. Overall, it managed to keep the main living area cool despite the very hot temps during our stay. We will definitely return to this property. Thank you Kristen for your hospitality.
We had such a relaxing stay. This house is set in a beautifully secluded location yet close enough to go and do everything that we needed. We were celebrating a graduation and there was room to entertain and for everyone to have their space. We will definitely be back!
Family from all parts of the US met at this beautiful lake setting for a reunion get-together. It was perfect. Plenty of room for sleeping, lots of water âtoysâ, a very well-equipped kitchen. Lots of firewood for sâmores. And more. We couldnât have found a better place for the 10 of us. Many thanks to Kristen and all for making this a memorable time together!
Beautiful lakeside home by quiet lake. Everyone in our extended family had a great time kayaking, canoeing, and swimming at the lake. The home was well equipped for all our needs, spacious and comfortable. The hostess provided plenty of suggestions in advance. We had a delicious dinner at Sweet Basil and takeout from The View, both local restaurants she recommended. The nearby park had a sandy beach, 3 lifeguards, and a playground. Perfect for the small children in our party and just a 2 minute drive from the house. We ventured into Skaneatles, Cortland, and Syracuse, all just a short drive away. Great family retreat! The home, surrounding area, and hostess were all fantastic. Highly recommend!
Each year, we meet with my cousins from Rochester (we live in the Albany area) and look for a spot between us. This spot worked out perfectly!
The house is in a beautiful neighborhood, SO well kept, and probably the cleanest rental property we have ever visited.
The lake views are beautiful, and we spent lots of time on the water, learning quickly how to navigate the dock and lily pads (which were a little annoying but really pretty at the same time!).
Our host, Kristin, was super responsive, answered questions, got us in early on arrival day, and even made dinner suggestions. It was truly a 10 out of 10 experience!
We stayed at this lake house while attending a music festival 15 min away in Lafeyette, NY. The house was really cozy and the area was very peaceful. We enjoyed the outside deck, overlooking the lake, listening to the frogs at night. The hosts are excellent : great communication, house was stocked , gave great recommendations in the area. Highly recommend!!
The home was clean, well-equipped, and in a beautiful location. The owner was communicative and very helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with family at this property.
We greatly enjoyed our stay, the house was perfect. Beautiful views, spacious home, fully stocked kitchen and bathrooms. We love the location thereâs so much to do outdoors. Tinker and Delphi Falls. We look forward to our next stay!
This welcoming home is full of love and character. What a dream to wake up in such a gorgeous house surrounded by nature. The home is fully stocked with all the essentials to enjoy a home cooked meal with family and friends. So much room for enjoying family activities or having a quiet place alone to read a book or do a puzzle Plenty of family games, books, puzzles available for all ages. The main attraction in the open living room / dining area is the view and fireplace. No TV in the common area was such a great idea. Close by are many options for restaurants or being outside enjoying the spectacular views. We visited beautiful waterfalls, enjoyed local farms with fresh apple fritters, and drove around one of finger lakes. Definitely drive scenic route 20 for the best views of upstate. Our reason for visiting was for family weekend at Syracuse University. It was a quick 20 minute ride up the highway. Well worth having a huge house to enjoy instead of a crammed hotel room. We would definitely rent his home again. Thank you very much for an unforgettable weekend.
We had an amazing time during our long weekend at this property! The home is perfect for entertaining and catching up with family! We were in town for a family wedding and we were able to host a small dinner with relatives. We also were excited to share the fire pit and beautiful lake views. The home is set up for enjoying time with family. The hosts had every detail covered. We enjoyed the kayaks and canoe and they even had lifejackets for all. Firewood was provided and even beach towels when we braved the water in September. Walking trails were just down the street around a separate lake. I personally felt so at peace on this quiet and private lake. I loved the comfy master suite and the gorgeous view with my morning coffee. Thank you for a fun yet relaxing stay!
Honestly canât say enough great things about this house. It was beautiful, clean - like way above average type of clean, spacious, and well-stocked. We were a group of 8 and we had more than enough room. The location is serene. We were amazed at how quiet it was at night and how comfortable the beds were. We highly recommend this place for families or groups of friends. There was so much to do and see in the area. Thank you for opening your home to us!
Perfect lake house for a family vacation! The host was very accommodating and consistent with quick communication, providing all details to check in well in advance and providing a lot of great information on the house and area (activities, restaurants, etc). The house was very clean and had plenty of games and toys for family/little ones. Our group included ages 1-60+ and we found that the house was great for all. Kitchen was stocked and even had plenty of spices, condiments, and coffee to enjoy. Overall the area was really quiet and peaceful. We especially loved the canoe and being able to fish throughout the week. We wanted a location convenient to both Ithaca and Syracuse, and it was exactly that. Thank you for sharing your lovely home!
My partner and my infant son, as well as another couple and their infant plus toddler, had a great time and fit comfortably in this lovely lakeside home. We enjoyed grilling, the fire pit, and hanging out lakeside with the kids.
Thank you Kristin for a wonderful stay at your beautiful home! Wish we could have spent more time enjoying the amazing property but it was a perfect place for us to relax in between graduation festivities at Syracuse!
If we are ever back in the area.. would love to return to your serene home. Thank you!!
From the beginning of the trip to the end, everything was great. Property was clean and stocked with many supplies. Property owner was very responsive and helpful. No complaints!
Our group of 7 had an amazing time in Tully and at Kristenâs house. The house was very clean and check in was as simple as can be. We throughly enjoyed the use of the kayaks, canoe and paddle boardâŠas well as the fire pit. The kitchen had what we needed to cook our meals, and the rest of the house was stocked with nice amenities (soap, shampoo, towels, cleaning products, etc). Thank you for sharing your lovely home!!
House was great.. possibly even better than what the listing showed! Having access to kayaks, the paddle board, canoe, etc., made using and enjoying the lake super easy and accessible. Our 4 kids, ages 4-9, loved the swimming platform. The basement room was perfect for the kids to sleep, hang out and play and the sitting area on the main floor was just the right size for us adults. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed and the inclusion of linens, bath and beach towels and toiletries made everything that much easier. We grilled and ate outside and enjoyed the fire pit as well. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and have already talked about coming back!
Our family loved this quiet, peaceful lake. The views from the house are beautiful. We loved swimming from the platform. We only ventured out to a state park one day, preferring to relax on the lake and cook at home. This small home feels big with lots of space even for our large family. The owner was very helpful, and we appreciated that even beach towels were provided.
We had an amazing experience staying here. The house & property are beautiful and the location is amazing (close to so many great hikes, eateries, etc.). The owners were attentive & helpful. We would definitely come again.
