Keuka Gem

MaxRating, 5 stars5 days ago
Our stay here was fantastic. Joan was an amazing host and had plenty of recommendations on things to do based on what we liked. Could not have been a better experience, the apartment was clean and comfortable, and overall it was such a lovely spot. Waking up to the calm of the area and being so close to so many fantastic local places made this trip one or the best we've ever had. Went for my partner's birthday this all made it truly special.

Relax on beautiful Keuka Lake Beachfront

MegRating, 5 stars10 months ago
We had a great stay here! David was easy to communicate with and very helpful. The place was beautiful and very well taken care of. The lake front location was beautiful! The photos don't do it justice. We all really enoyed sitting on the porch and the dock enjoying the spectacular views! The home was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. Hope to go back again!

Canal Loft Retreat: Seneca Falls Serenity

TimRating, 5 stars1 week ago
I stay in hotels and Airbnb's about 4 months of the year. This is definitely one of the best. It's a very new renovation to an old building. It's absolutely spotless, the towels, sheets and other furnishings are high quality. If you plan to cook the kitchen is very well stocked. I was quite impressed with the attention to detail. A very professional Airbnb host.

Ithaca Boat House-Cottage on Cayuga -Lower Unit

TrongRating, 5 stars8 months ago
I can’t say enough about how wonderful Peggy’s boat house is. This is my second time staying here and I have never stayed at the same ABB twice. This time I brought the kids because I wanted to share the beauty of this place and Ithaca and I knew they would love it. Sitting on the dock fishing and enjoying the views on Cayuga lake is so peaceful and relaxing. Peggy is a very welcoming host and keeps the place very tidy. There are so many things to do. Ithaca Falls is a very short drive away. Buttermilk Falls is a bit further away (not much) and is a beautiful hike. Great restaurants are nearby. I love the area and would love to come back someday.

Bristol Hills Cabin, with Hot Tub, Fire Pit, Creek

KaleiRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
I stayed here with my family for 3 nights. We were in the area for a concert at CMAC, which was about 20 minutes away. Sondra’s place was perfect! It was serene and peaceful with the creek out front. We had many bird and deer visitors. The hot tub was so fun and we spent most evenings grilling on the deck. There are beautiful wineries and trails nearby (the RMSC nature center is fantastic!). We also did a campus tour to SUNY Geneseo when we were up (again only about 20 mins away!) I hope to be back in the area again soon and would book with Sondra again in a heartbeat! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Karen and George’s home was the perfect Finger Lakes getaway. The house was extremely clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. It was super close to some of the best wineries, and they were just a text away—friendly, responsive, and incredibly accommodating. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again! 10/10!

Mutual Fun Keuka Memories

TaniaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had a great time here! Chris gave us incredible food and activity recommendations making our stay extremely worthwhile. He was responsive and helpful throughout the entire weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here- the views were incredible, the dock was so peaceful, and we loved having access to a fire pit. The driveway is pretty steep, required to walk up/down to access the dock. Our stay was perfect, can't wait to return.

We had a fabulous experience! The house is beautiful with really charming art and decorations throughout the house. The outside space is gorgeous and we enjoyed drinking our morning coffee outside on the deck looking at the lake and kayaking in the afternoon! Valarie was very responsive and provided clear instructions and information. We were visiting for a wedding at the Fountainbleu Inn and it was so easy to walk to the venue!

Azalea Beach House on Seneca Lake

HanaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
What a beautiful location and very nice house. We didn't have any issues at all and hope we can come back in the future. The lake water was too cold for us to want to swim but we enjoyed the Jacuzzi and played card games on the balcony. The weather in June is perfection, the wineries and State parks nearby were so great, and the house itself had everything we needed. Thank you so much, Kate!

Sean’s property was beautifully maintained and exceeded our expectations. We chose this location for its accessibility, particularly for my elderly mother, and it proved to be an ideal choice. The walk to the lake was easy and convenient, making it even more enjoyable. Sean was highly responsive and communicative, promptly addressing any questions we had. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-located stay.

Amazing Canandaigua Lake Retreat! 4 bed/3full bath

CynthiaRating, 5 stars9 months ago
Tobiah was a fabulous host. He answered all questions promptly and was very helpful. We had a small gathering of family, coming from far apart and the condo was wonderful! It worked beautifully for our needs. We loved the view of the lake off the balconies-- especially with a full moon reflecting on it! The condo was well-appointed, with everything we needed. It was a very comfortable setting and close to hiking, wineries, and water activities, as well as cycling along the Erie Canal. The condo's location, a short distance between the towns of Naples and Canadaigua, made it easy to run an errand or go out eat. We highly recommend Tobiah's waterfront condo!

NEW Lakeview Condo | Hot Tub | Pool | Restaurant

JamieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Our family came in for a concert, and this location was perfect. Beautiful condo, with a perfect location on the lake. With access to the pool, hot tub, life sized chess board, gym and the lakeside trail, we were within steps of a brewery, salon, restaurants, playground and an ice cream shop. Within walking distance of CMAC -- which we saw many people do. No need to bring your own towels, the condo has 4 for your use. The owners were quick to respond when we weren't able to get the door open (trick: turn the lock all the way to the right and lift the door handle up as you open) and super kind/prompt if I had other questions. We'll def be back. Thanks for letting us stay in your beautiful place!
