Relaxing Stay But Could Have Used Cleaning
The property was perfectly situated on Seneca Lake and access to the house was uncomplicated. While we enjoyed our time there, the bathroom, and in particular the shower, seemed as if it hadn't been cleaned in a very long time. Obvious cleaning tasks such as removing the last inhabitant's ball of hair from the drain weren't done. The outdoor shower ended up more preferable. While I fully understand this cabin is smack in the middle of the woods, there were a sizeable amount of well-established and old cobwebs in every room and a few sightings of cockroaches in the morning in the kitchen. Outside of these problems that seem easily remedied for someone else in the future, we loved the property.

A bit rustic, but fun!
Pros: lake front, fun, holds a large family, eating on the porch was relaxing, location, hot tub Cons: could use a deep clean: items in kitchen cabinets a bit grimy, musty smell lower level, come prepared with drinking water Overall, we had a great time. Thank you!

Girls weekend
We had a great time in the cabin. The only “issues” we had were the bugs that got into the house but most of us were okay killing them and moving on. The stairs down to the lake were a trek but worth it. We stayed in mid September and nights were quite cold or hot. Pack for both. If you’re looking for a rustic stay this is a great spot.

Girl’s Trip
My friends and I stayed here this past weekend and overall we had a great time! I was a little surprised because it lists 2 bathrooms so I assumed 2 full baths. The main bathroom and beautiful but the second is just a utility room with a toilet and it was kind of dirty, spider webs and dead bugs. The outdoor shower was nice. The cabin is very rustic! No insulation, a/c or heat. There seemed to be a lot of spiders but that’s what you get with a cabin in the woods so it didn’t really bother us. Hot tub was clean and nice. The dock area and absolutely beautiful! There was 1 step that was loose but other than that they felt safe and sturdy. They give you 2 kayaks to use and tons of other equipment to use, which is great. The kitchen was great, very clean and well equipped. Overall we had a great weekend and would probably come back.

Great location with a beautiful view
A beautiful getaway vacation with our family for a few days. The house is tucked away in the middle of the woods, yet opens up to a beautiful view of Seneca Lake. Upon arrival we found a very clean kitchen and bathrooms, with all the amenities that we needed. We love to cook and were surprised at the fully equipped kitchen to meet our needs. Plenty of space for the 8 of us to be comfortable. Best part of the evenings - building a fire literally 2 feet from the water's edge in the fire pit. We brought our own wood, but did notice a few piles of split wood throughout the property. Please keep in mind - this is a rustic house in the middle of the woods. You can expect to find an occasional spider or bug throughout. It's part of living in the woods which our family is used to; however, might not be for everyone. Also, for planning purposes, you'll want to bring your own drinking water, as there is a recommendation in the information folder to not drink the water. And according to my youngest daughter, it's 68 steps down to the dock and the water. We got a fantastic leg workout during the week! It was a unanimous family vote to return here next year.

Great Location!
This place was located right by the water and so close to town. Proximity to wineries and breweries was great as well. Although if you don’t like bugs or have bad allergies to mold this may not be the place for you. The cabin was well stocked with anything you may need for lake fun.

Great location
Beautiful location! Sunsets were amazing. You are right above the water and in a heavily wooded area. My niece informed me it is 67 steps to go to the water. This cabin is a slight step above tent camping. Everything was clean but it is old. Very Buggy, Screens on windows need replacing and screen door is our of square. No screen door on the door at all so the bugs come in from everywhere. Couches and mattresses have seen better days but linen was clean. We took air mattresses just in case and used them. No A/C but a ton of fans everywhere. Very hot in there during the day and cold late at night. We had a blast but we didn't spend much time in the cabin. We were in the lake or out hiking most the time. We will definitely go back to the area again but not stay here again. I would prefer somewhere more updated. All the people we ran in to were incredibly nice and I can not wait to return to this region next summer.
