Summary: It was a perfect location.. love the house. The only draw back was the internet connection was not strong... but we were out celebrating, wine tasting and visiting family and friends most of the time anyway.

Summary: I stayed here with my family, six adults and two children. We had plenty of space! The property is AMAZING! We loved the outside picnic area and fire pit. Tons of space for the kids to enjoy. It is completely centrally located for hitting Watkins Glen and Ithaca, plus close to taughnnocan falls and wineries/breweries! Our favorite was Scale House-Just 4 minutes away and Hector Wine Company just 7 minutes away. The only flaw was that it does not have central air (my fault for not checking) and it was HOT when we checked in, but two of the upstairs bedrooms have window units and can cool the entire place down if you leave the doors open. Hana was easy to get in touch with, the no key lock in the door makes coming and going so easy, and the property is awesome! Highly recommend and would stay again!
