This home is spectacular! Perfect and clean. Very spacious and they kindly provided lovely bedding, towels, coffees, and the most breathtaking view of the fall foliage and river. We enjoyed coffee on the back deck in the crisp autumn air. The neighborhood was lovely and quiet. Hoping to visit again.

We had a wonderful stay! The house has so much character and charm, was very clean and was stocked with everything we needed. The view of the river and the outdoor spaces are an added bonus. We enjoyed walking around the village of Dexter and took day trips to some of the towns on Lake Ontario. We will definitely be back!

Everything you want in a beautiful and comfortable package

This was the best vacation rental we’ve ever had. Is beautifully finished and furnished. The enclosed porch is great for watching the river in comfort. The neighborhood is very quiet, clean and safe. Parks, a small grocery store, museum, library, coffee shop, and liquor store are all within a few blocks walk.We didn’t have any problems but did message the host a couple of times. They were very responsive.Hopefully we will have an opportunity to visit again in the future.

Perfect Retreat!

This was the perfect retreat for my sister and I while visiting my son who's stationed at Fort Drum. It was central to everything. The home is cozy and equipped with everything you need for a peaceful stay. I just wish the weather was better so we could have enjoyed the outdoors more! I will definitely stay here again!

Top notch home for vacation stay

This home was exactly what we were looking for. The owner has furnished this house with everything you might need, including extras. Her attention to detail was apparent in every room. All the appliances and A/C functioned perfectly. The rooms are comfortable and the decor is like a trip around the world. We would stay there again without hesitation. Plus, it is dog-friendly which is very important to us. Suzie even had dog biscuits waiting for our pooch.

Beautiful and relaxing

We booked this location because it is in the path of totality for the solar eclipse in April 2024. The accuracy of the listing is spot on. The host is very responsive and very helpful.We only had one question and that was what the wifi password was because we didn't see it on the fridge. LOL! The property is absolutely stunning.The view from the back deck is gorgeous.The house was immaculate and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Dexter, NY area! Thanks Suzie for being a great host!
