Ŵould stay again!!Views are amazing! The property offered a wide range of extras including snacks, toiletries, kitchen items. Big plus!The kitchen was well-stocked with all necessary utensils and supplies locations labled, making cooking easy and convenient. The property was nicely furnished with 4 sofa bed convertibles, 2 sets of bunkbeds, and a very cumfy master bed. Though its only 2 bedrooms there are lots of shared spaces to sleep. The dining table was large as well, seeting 8 comfortably. Nice entry way to leave all your shoes at the door and coats ( 2 large closets in this space). Overall a great stay with awesome views , and wonderful host.

Check in was very easy. The kitchen was well-equipped, but the kitchen faucet is a little odd as it does not turn from left to right. Both the front and back door frames seemed a little loose, making the doors hard to close. The furnishings seemed like practically new - the beds were very nice and the sofas were as well. We didn’t use the pull out sofas, but we opened one up and they would be very nice to sleep on. We had a little problem getting the front door to lock and Leslie came by and checked it out in less than hour.

The property has great potential, but is in need of maintenance. The access to the lake is challenging, especially if you are trying to launch an SUP or kayak.

Excellent Views!

The house was clean, just as described, and had all the little extras! They thought of everything; such as individual milks to go with complimentary cereal, laundry soap, dryer sheets, etc. You can tell they actually put thought into what their guests may need. Will absolutely be back next time we come home to Rochester.

Incredible Host and Property

The views of the lake were beautiful and could be seen from everyone on the first floor. The house so cute and decorated perfectly for a lake house. The owner is wonderful and had amazing communication with us. She has also thought through everything that is needed for the stay, including coffee, tea and snacks. We loved every second of being there. We hope to come back again!

Great place!

What a great house on the lake. Only 2 Bedrooms, but can sleep about a dozen. They have these cool Serta sofa sleepers that covert to beds and better than a traditional uncomfortable sleeper sofas. Nice outdoor sitting area and deck, although little cool to enjoy. Kitchen and baths were well stocked a lot of extras. Pretty close to town for restaurants and stores. We would definitely stay here again if we are coming back to the the area. everything was well marked for cupboards and light switches.

Beautiful house- Gorgeous View

We loved our stay at the lake! It truly was tranquil! Leslie was quick to reply to any questions we had and truly created a home away from home. We did not want for anything! The house was well stocked with needed supplies, offered washer and dryer, and extra toiletries if we had forgotten ours. Kitchen cupboards were labeled making it easy to find everything. And kitchen was well stocked! This house was great! We look forward to staying again. Thank you Leslie for an absolutely wonderful stay!
