This is our 2nd visit to Lisa and Kevin's lake house...and had another wonderful time! Everything was clean and well stocked. The open floor plan, large dining room table, beautiful views and comfy beds made for a relaxing and enjoyable stay...we'll be back!
We loved our stay. The house was adorable. It was nice and cozy. We enjoyed outside fires by the water, music and snacks on the balcony, and time in the downstairs rec area with the electric fire going. Wonderful time!
The house was perfect for a family stay. The open floor plan with the kitchen, dining room, and living room being open to one another lent itself to everyone being together while preparing meals.
The views of the sunsets from the deck were wonderful.
The host was very responsive to any questions that we asked.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property.
This home was just as described. Clean upon arrival. The view is beautiful. There was plenty of seating for our large family. And hooks already in the trees for our hammock!
The walk down to the water is a little steep, but perfectly manageable.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were in town for a wedding at Seneca Ridge (literally right up the hill from us). It could not have been more convenient. It was a short drive into Geneva for Wegmans, restaurants, and a walk on the waterfront path. I only wish the weather was a little warmer so we could have enjoyed the deck and water more. I can only imagine how wonderful this property would be in the summer.
Wonderful time with kids and grandkids lakeside. Great times renting pontoon boat, swimming in the lake, and pulling kids on tubes. Lake shore/beach has algae accumulation so not good for kids playing. Swimming off the dock is good. No recycling services available so more information about where to take cans and bottles would be extremely helpful.
Rustic but cute. The beds could use new mattresses. Some of the lower level windows would not lock which was concerning since we were 6 women who were isolated.
The view of Seneca Lake was beautiful. The house was fully equipped with everything we needed.
A beautiful location right on the lake to watch the sunset. We had plenty of room for our family. We stayed two nights during commencement weekend- it’s about a 50 minute drive to Ithaca.
A couple of things to note: the master bathroom has only a jacuzzi tub there is no shower but there is another bathroom on the lower level with a shower. There are no closets in the bedrooms but a few hooks on the wall so we hung our slacks and blouses on hangers we brought. You have to take the garbage out to a dumpster at the top of the road and must carry out any refundable as they are not allowed in the trash. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms had plenty of towels. Kitchen was well stocked. We enjoyed our stay and time spent with family. Thank you Lisa.

We stayed at this VRBO with eight of our friends for our wedding weekend. We booked Thursday to Sunday. When we arrived at the VRBO there was a man inside. Turns out he was the landscaper and he was cleaning the house because the host thought were arriving Friday. (We booked this a year and a half ago). Mistakes happen and we appreciate the landscaper taking over the cleaning responsibility to get us in the house, but there were things that were missed (tissues and food on the floors of some of the bedrooms). The host was not very responsive to messages. Also, of note, the master bedroom only has a tub, no shower. The deck and dock were nice to use. There was plenty of seating for all of us to hang out. I personally would not stay here again based off my experience.
Overall, we had a good stay and enjoyed the place. The host was very kind, responsive, and accommodating, which we truly appreciated. While the space was comfortable, a bit more attention to cleaning would make it even better, as we noticed some dust and cobwebs. There was also a minor maintenance issue near the wash basin that came loose, though thankfully nothing serious occurred. Additionally, having a smart TV and stronger Wi-Fi would have enhanced the experience. Overall, it’s a nice place with a welcoming host, and with a few small improvements, it could be even better.
