We had an incredible holiday week at Lorraine’s home! We loved all the extra water toys as much as our kids did. Staying there truly felt like being at our own home. It was extremely spacious which gave us all space to comfortably spread out after a long day on the lake. Would love to stay again!

This lakefront property was the perfect location for our family getaway. The stunning fall foliage and bonfire pit provided a memorable outdoor experience. We enjoyed the surrounding area, hiking during the day and visiting Southern Tier or Ellicottville breweries in the evening. The kitchen if fully equipped , and the thoughtful amenities like a pack-and-play, a high chair, and outlet covers made the stay exceptionally family-friendly. With comfortable beds, clean rooms, and outstanding views, we highly recommend this property and look forward to returning
