Reviews

This house is amazing!! Full of 19th century charm but with all the modern conveniences. There were plenty of comfortable beds and private bathrooms for each family. The kids had a riot playing hide 'n' go seek in all the nooks and crannies. The "secret staircase" down to Unit 2 was a favorite. We enjoyed the main living room from sun-up 'til bedtime! Josh had it decorated beautifully for Christmas. Sledding on the small hill out back and the snow-covered driveway was especially fun for the little ones. (With an adult planted firmly at the end so as not to sled into the road lol) The view of Keuka Lake from the front porch and the kitchen window was so beautiful. We all agreed, Josh is the best host we've EVER encountered. He was thoughtful, accommodating, and very friendly! We were blessed to meet him in person. Definitely planning on staying here again!

House was so spacious and a really cool house! House was very clean and comfy. We had a party of 14 and it fit us all very comfortably. We will definitely stay here again! Josh’s correspondence was amazing!
