Summary: Incredible! Over and above any rental we've stayed in before. Decor is impeccable and there isn't an amenity that was overlooked. Beds and all indoor/outdoor furniture very comfortable. Kitchen stocked extremely well. Lake toys (kayaks, paddle boards, floats, etc) made water play a blast! And the view from the deck and dock cannot be beat - super peaceful and private. We loved exploring the local area as well- hiking in state parks, bike riding, boating, and wineries/breweries. We enjoyed a fantastic week with our family and hope to return again!

Summary: Check in was easy. When we got there everything was neat clean and ready to go. Jill left us a nice welcoming gift, and even a nice gift basket for my granddaughter for her birthday. Jill, has thought of everything to make it like home. There was nothing you wished you had with you that wasn’t already there. The kitchens were well stacked with dishes, utensils, storage containers, cooking and serving tools. Even a full spice rack and plastic wrap.The lake shore is quiet and private. My granddaughter totally enjoyed all the floaty toys for the water, and the porches and dock are very comfortable to enjoy the serenity of the lake.We had 6 adults and a preteen and all had private, comfortable rooms that were adequately appointed with pillows, bathrobes and bathroom amenities.We have already rebooked for next year. We loved it.

Summary: July 2025 is our second summer returning back to this luxury lake home. Jill is fantastic to communicate with and pays attention to all the small details throughout the house, and lakefront. We noticed several upgrades from the previous summer, which were added bonuses to what was already a very comfortable and relaxing experience. Our family consists of ages: 1,5,8,9,11,13, mid 40 adults and Grandma. There is something for everyone, no matter the age. The “floaty room” shouts water fun for the kids (with all the lake toys a kid can dream of using). The covered porch is great for crawling littles and Gma. The game room is a hit for all. Fishing was also really good for the boys this year. Jill has thought of everything- from the amazing towel warmers, luxury bedding & blankets to spare toiletries and the fully equipped kitchen (I could go on)! We used baby gates, a highchair and pack-n-play that were also provided. We took bike rides and stroller walks on the Sampson State path at the end of the street. To simply put it, just pack your suit, some lake cozy clothes and groceries. The rest is there for you upon arrival- we also loved the 1st birthday welcome basket for our younger little guy, which kicked off our week right. Thank you for another fantastic week!

Summary: We were a group of military veterans and spouses who meet every two years in different locations as we are scattered. This by far was our favorite place. The hosts have so thoughtfully accommodated every need and more. The home is beautifully decorated and clean. The property manager was wonderful and the views are to die for. If you are going to the finger lakes, this is the place to stay!!

Summary: What a beatiful house! It was right on the lake with gorgeous views, impeccably appointed and spotlessly clean. The house sports a garage full of games, 2 fire pits, a barbeque, a hammock, a dock and multiple outdoor seating areas. The bathrooms had baskets of toiletries, the bedrooms had lavendar pillow spray and the kitchen had a Keurig and choclate-dipped biscotti. Jill was immediately resposive to our communications and left us a "Congratulations Graduate" gift basket after I mentioned that we were there for our daughter's graduation from Cornell. This was by far the best house we have ever stayed in; it far exceeded all our expectations. 10 out of 10 recommend.

Summary: Our group of 8 ladies just finishing spending the weekend at beautiful Stairway to Haven! Everything we could ever want was there, beautiful views outside every floor. Even though it was a windy, rainy weekend, we made the most of the views, the game room in the garage, and simply just celebrating a bride to be ina beautiful place! Clean and thoughtful items/toiletries for use. Well stocked kitchen. Expresso machine was a treat. FYI lots of stairs!

Summary: Overall it was amazing! Jill was very friendly, helpful and communicative! House was stunning, property was stunning. Neighborhood was something out of a Steven King novel. But the bed covers were stained with what looked like old blood.
