Reviews From Our Past Guests:

This home was absolutely beautiful. Very clean, well appointed, quiet location, just an amazing getaway. My grand babies loved the playroom. The host was super helpful for questions. There was a lovely welcome basket upon arrival. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your lovely home. -Catherine

A great choice for a group based on its condition, location, and amenities. The house was new and extremely comfortable, and the location allowed for a secluded stay but was still in close proximity for lake recreating or wine tours. A perfect balance! Thanks to the hosts for their professionalism and hospitality! -Cody

Solved the March Blues

We had two (2) couples getting out of the house for a March sanity check and we had a very good weekend. The While Away Cottage is perfectly equipped to handle 3 couples, with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths The house and property is very clean - and they had everything you'd need including a fully stocked coffee bar. We are local so we know where "we are going" and this location was perfect for us. Penn Yan and a few great breweries, wineries and distilleries are 10 minutes We had a fabulous time and fully intend to book again.

Will rent again. Very nice house

2 couples, stayed there in mid November. House inside and out is practically brand new. Kitchen is well stocked, plenty of towels and linens. It was cold while we were there, but the outside deck is very large and spacious. Grill could use some help, and there are no TVs. Basement is a plus, but we didn't use it. Property manager lives right across the street and greeted us when we arrived to make sure everything was in order. When we come to the finger lakes, we will rent this house again.

Everything they offered on line was true. They were very accommodating. I will say the coffee pot was dated with pot and Keurig. :-) My family were all adults and we were all very pleased. Thank you!!

Charming cottage

This cottage was more like a home. Everything that you would want at your fingertips was there, plus so much more. Everything is super clean and updated and the owners are wonderful. We had a problem starting the fire pit, and with one phone call, the Ivan was there to replace the propane tank

Immaculate place

Our stay was amazing. The place was newer, immaculate, and so cozy. The coffee bar was great. We spent lot of time on the patio enjoying the peace and quiet and taking in the backyard. Although we don’t have small children the finished playroom in the basement was adorable, and the air hockey and pool table was fun for us adults. It was the perfect place for a family vacation.

A perfect stay

We had a great time at this property. The house was super clean and had everything you would need for a great stay. The owners even left us a little welcome basket complete with waffle mix and maple syrup...a very nice touch. So close to the lake, which we were looking for. A huge property, which the pictures don't do it justice. I wish I brought a badminton net! However, the owners have lots of outdoor games. My only suggestion (and this is a reach as everything was great) is that the fire pit (which we loved) is a little far away from the house and there were no chairs available, so we had to carry the deck chairs down to the pit, which is a bit of a walk as the property is so big. Would recommend some outdoor chairs, which were viewable in the pictures of the house so we didn't bring any. Other than that small thing we loved everything about this place. They had everything you would need, even extra tooth paste! Amazing time. Thank you to the property owners for making our stay so nice!

Our stay was amazing and exactly what we needed after a hectic year. Peaceful, beautiful clean cottage. Everything was as advertised. The cottage was so clean and had every amenity that we needed. It was the perfect get away for us and only a 3 1/2 drive from Ontario Canada. Town was only a 12 minute drive. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. And many thanks for the welcome basket of fresh bread, honey, coffee and maple syrup that we used everyday! We hope to return in the summer! Thank you!
