My wife, daughter, and I sought a convenient home base for visiting the major state parks Letchworth and Watkins Glen; the must-see Corning Glass Museum; and, my wife’s family homestead located due east of Rochester.
We also sought a place where, after a day of driving in the hot summer sun up and down the hills that are the primary topographical feature of the region, we could refresh ourselves in the clear, cooling waters of one of the signature Finger Lakes.
The rental served our needs well in this regard.
Further, the rental lies beyond the main commercial areas and marinas, making for a quiet, peaceful stay.
A family of three or four will find plenty of space to enjoy their stay. The house is well laid out and offers beautiful views of the water.
The place comes fully stocked for those who choose to prepare home-cooked meals. The house was thoroughly cleaned for our arrival. All the systems were in good condition and in working order. The hosts were gracious and attentive.
Our daughter, nine years old, enjoyed trying her hard at fishing, paddle boarding, and kayaking with the equipment available on site.
One caveat: people with mobility challenges will struggle with the steps. The house lies on a steep hillside above the lake.
