Reviews From Our Past Guests:

This home was beautiful. Very clean, well appointed, quiet location. My grand babies loved the playroom. The host was super helpful. There was a lovely welcome basket upon arrival. -Catherine

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

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.

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.

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

Nice Getaway at Finger Lakes

This property was perfect for our long weekend at the Finger Lakes. It was close to both Keuka and Seneca Lakes and many restaurants, attractions, and wineries. The property was private with large backyard and nice large deck for entertaining. Description of house was very accurate and owner was very responsive. Neighbor across the street (owner’s parents) were very hospitable, inviting us to their nighttime sky viewing party. Overall, great all around experience in the Finger Lakes. I would highly recommend this house!

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.

Finger Lakes Stay

The house was fabulous. It having 2 bedrooms with Queen beds was convenient when traveling with other couples. 3 bedrrom with 3 good sized beds is rare when I was looking for a rental property. The house was very clean and well appointed. We thought the waffle and maple syrup gift basket was very sweet, no pun intended. The propane fire pit on the deck is a perfect place to relax in the evening. My wife and I are already discussing next years trip. Thank you for hospitality.
