Great Getaway!
We stayed here for a girls weekend during our journey on the Lake Erie Wine Trail. The house is very cute and exceptionally clean. It's not quite as big as the pictures depict but was perfect for our needs. It was well-equipped and in a perfect location if you plan on visiting the wineries. Xinni was very attentative and responded to all communications promptly. Thank you for a lovely stay!

April Wine Tour
What an amazing weekend with Friends. The VRBO is located at one of the wineries. Very convenient for traveling to other wineries. Excellent access. The home was clean and stocked with necessary items and coffee to start our day! We would recommend this home with a perfect star rating!!! As we often attend the weekend wine tours, we just wish the wineries would extend their hours on these events. It is hard to travel and reach all the wineries in 2 days.

We had a wonderful time in Ripley. We skied at Peak and Peek and the drive was about 25 minutes. The house was so neat and has everything you could need! The wine was very good and the staff was great. Highly recommend

Sparkling Ponds 11/28-30
Property was nice, but we only got to stay 1 of the 2 nights due to extreme snow. We were stuck elsewhere while our belongings were at the rental. Owner was understanding and helpful in getting them back once the road was cleared.. Overall rating would have been 4.5 if that were an option

Anniversary Weekend
My husband and I had a wonderful weekend celebrating our 33rd anniversary. The cottage was wonderful. The little touches mean so much. From the coffee and flavored creamer to the fall decorations, everything was perfect. The staff at the winery was delightful, not to mention the free bottle of wine! Hopefully we will be back next year! Thank you!

Disappointing
First, my sister is 80 and I am 74. We arrived at property and had no way to get in... had not received any notification of code to get in. Messaged the host twice and heard nothing. I called Vrbo for help. Two hours later, received the code. By then it was pitch dark and there is very little outdoor lighting and we had to use a flashlight. The path to the steps to the door was uneven and difficult to walk on. Our last night, the door would not lock from the inside. I messaged the host and she thanked me and said she would check it out the next day. In the meantime, we slept with an unlocked door and we were not comfortable with that. I put a chair under the door handle. Other than those issues, the house is cute and well kept for the most part (we noted a bit dusty). All in all, we would not stay again.
The property is awesome....clean, quiet, comfortable and picturesque. Xinni was great and communication was impeccable! The wineries were near by as well as the lake. Everything one would need for a overnight or weekend stay was IN the home, which was great, because we forgot coffee. Definitely will stay again!!
Loved being right on the vineyard property and appreciated the free wine tasting! Kitchen well equipped and beds were comfortable.

Outstanding Stay - Outstanding Hostess and cottage
We absolutely loved everything about this stay - from our interaction with Xinni, her promptness in communication, the cleanliness of the property. This is one of the best experiences we have had. The whole house (kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms) were very well stocked, super clean, newly renovated. The added attraction of complimentary wine tasting and bottle of wine - was over the top. We ended buying a dozen bottles. Xinni was so gracious and kind to let us take a bit longer to check out. We would love to come back here often.
Thanks a lot.
WE WALKED TO THE WINERY ON SITE FOR WINE TASTING. THE COTTAGE WAS DETACHED FROM THE WINERY AND SURROUNDED BY BIG OPEN GREEN LAWNS AND GRAPE FIELDS. THE COTTAGE SETS BACK OFF THE HIGHWAY PROVIDING QUIET FROM ROAD TRAFFIC AND PRIVACY. WE PLAN ON RESERVING IT AGAIN FOR FAMILY GET TOGETHERS IN THE FUTURE. I HAD A QUESTION FOR THE OWNER WHO ANSWERED THE PHONE AND ANSWERED MY QUESTION ASAP, SHE WAS VERY PLEASANT & HELPFUL. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE COTTAGE.

Cute Cape Cod in the heart of wine country
We enjoyed our stay at this cute Cape Cod vacation home in the heart of wine country. The house was bright and cheerful, with comfortable living space and furnishings. We had reliable internet/wifi and TV service. We especially appreciated the extra touches including the Keurig coffee maker and coffee pods, extra towels and pillows, washer and drier, and the complimentary bottle of wine from Sparkling Ponds Winery. Special thanks to Xinni who was so helpful, always ready to answer our questions, before and during our stay. Many thanks again for hosting us!

Unique and one-of-a-kind experience!
My wife & dogs stayed here on our way back from the Finger Lakes. I have fond memories of the Lake Erie wine trail & Sparking Ponds Winery is in the heart of it. I've never stayed on a working winery, but it was a very memorable stay. The house was very clean; Xenni was very responsive & a great host.

Lovely Home
Lovely home located on Sparkling ponds winery property! The house has 3 bedrooms (all queen beds) and 2 full baths with a nice size kitchen (with so many amenities), dining room table for 4 and another area for 2 to dine. The kitchen bing room has a nice layout and the first room as you enter the home. We also enjoyed the gas grill and outdoor dining table. The front porch also has seating where we enjoyed more coffee. Sheets, towels, toiletries, extra blankets, were all included. Communication was quick and check-in flawless. When we return to the area, we will definitely stay with the host again!
