Lovely little cottage
We chose Lily Pad cottage as our base for the eclipse weekend. It had everything we needed plus some. Had it been warmer, I’m sure we would have enjoyed kayaking on Little York Lake with the kayaks provided. All in all, 10 out of 10!

Cute little Cottage
We loved our cute little cottage. My husband and I stayed overnight but we did enjoy inviting my twin sister and her family for a dinner on our birthday. The cottage had enough room for 3 cars and seated 6 so it was a perfect fit for us. It was close to the water and would have enjoyed the patio porch and kayaks if the weather would have been better. The owner was very cooperative and helpful.

Idyllic
This idyllic setting offered me the quiet space to think after busy days spent at a conference in Syracuse. My favorite was when I was sitting in the living space, with the fireplace burning as a blue heron flew past.

Vacation
Overall very pleasant .. only a couple of things that need attention. The shower needs all tile to be renewed and caulked .. tub was slippery .. could have fallen.. install grab bars and non slip bath mat would solve this potential accident issue. The host was pleasant and accommodating! The internet was on and off.. this was not the fault of the host. The host sympathized and made calls into Comcast in hopes of fixing.

Beautiful cottage with all the comforts
All the comforts of home. Beautifully decorated in cheerful colors and very comfortable bed. Hosts provide so many extras to make our stay enjoyable. Pretty view of Little York Lake with a nice deck to sit and watch water, birds, fish and boats. Convenient location. Great communicators. Can’t wait to return.
