Waterfront Escape in Seneca Lake Wine Country
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!

ON the Salmon River! Unit A
Just had my second stay at Jame’s place. Located right on the river with good fishing. Already trying to plan when to go back

Whispering Lakefront: Fire Pit, Fireplace, Kayaks
I want to thank Yanna for a wonderful time at her beautiful lake home. My friends and I stayed for a few days and it was an awesome experience. Simply 100% Beautiful. The beautiful scenery and living accommodations were emasculate. Yanna was very responsive and receptive to our requests and messages. I would recommend staying at this property for sure and my friends and I are already talking about when we’re going back. Thank you Yanna!

Lakefront +pets +skiing +bbq +firepit +games
We had a great time, the location is great, right on the water and the fishing was even better. A very quiet lake and much bigger when you are out on it in the kayaks. I would surely stay here again!

Majestic lake front house
We had a great time at Francois & Ann's oasis by the lake. It was so relaxing to wake up, look at the lake, and listen to birds chirp. If you are looking for isolation, this place does the trick, We didn't see anyone all week on the lake or at the other cabins until the day we left. The lake has excellent fishing. With little effort, we caught several decent-sized bass and pickerel right off the dock. The location is ideal. You feel like you are out in the country, but are close to great restaurants in Kinderhook and only 25 minutes from Hudson or Albany. It's also only an hour from Mass Moca and 90 minutes to Cooperstown. Francois and Ann were very communicative and quickly responded to questions and comments.

Lake Ontario Beauty! Sleeps 4!
Beautiful lake view. Our weather was not as nice as I hoped but we were able to sit outside and enjoy the water view for some of our stay. Nice to sit in the dining room and look out the large windows with a cup of coffee. Cheryl was very responsive to any questions we had. I imagine the landscaping is beautiful in the summer. We were visiting just as spring was starting so nothing lush or green yet.

Sea Breeze Lakefront Cottage
We had a wonderful three-night stay at this beautiful lake house in Sea breeze. The highlight was definitely the breathtaking view of Lake Ontario — especially from the spacious wraparound deck, where we spent mornings with coffee and evenings enjoying the sunset. The deck was perfect for both relaxing and entertaining, with panoramic views that made every moment feel special. Inside, the large, open kitchen with windows facing the lake made cooking and dining a pleasure. The home was spotless and well-maintained, with two very comfortable bedrooms and a bathroom featuring a large, luxurious shower. The living room was cozy and bright, with a large tv. Our host Kristin was warm, welcoming, and attentive, making check-in and communication seamless. We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway and would absolutely stay here again!

The Carlin Cottage on Keuka Lake
My husband and I stayed here for a relaxing peaceful weekend and it was great!! There’s a nice screened in porch so we were still able to “be outside” even while it was raining. Cute cottage and beautiful views.

Amber Lake Lodge
We had a wonderful time at Alicia and Jamie’s home in Livingston Manor. The home itself was spacious, tastefully decorated, and comfortable. And the property was fantastic- beautiful and very private yet close to town. Speaking of the town, Livingston Manor is charming and definitely worth exploring, as is nearby Roscoe. Overall a great time. We look forward to returning.

Escape to Lakefront Leisure—Amazing views!
We had the BEST TIME at this fantastic Lakeside house in Valatie! The house itself has 3 good bedrooms – 2 large bedrooms upstairs with a nice bathroom and tub. The downstairs has the other cute bedroom, another full bathroom, a good sized kitchen open to a great and large living and dining area. The VIEW from the main room is stunning and was our ‘TV’ for the week. The lake is just gorgeous! It has a little dock with kayaks and plenty of nice seating and lounge chairs. It’s great to have a full grass lawn ! The pups loved the house and the yard and the lake! The house was super clean and roomy but cozy in it’s feel. So many great little towns nearby – it was just the perfect house to get away from the city! The community was chill, even tho it was Memorial Day weekend. Thanks to Michael who was super responsive (not that we needed anything!) but if we had a question. Etc. Thank you Michael ! We hope to be back for another visit !!!

Beaver Lake Escape
Clean and comfortable cottage across the street from a lovely small lake. Good communication, easy to find. Enjoyed walking the pups around the lake. Plenty of wildlife (deer, ducks) around.

Modern Barn on 12 acres w Sauna, FirePit+swimming
Cozy home, on a beautiful property. The natural pool is really special, and we loved staying here. Hope to be back.

Lakeview House ~ Hot Tub, Firepit, Stunning Views
The home was pristine and beautifully designed, feeling like a brand new home. Everything was purposely placed to have exactly what you would think you’d need. The host is extremely friendly and super responsive. The views of the lake are awesome. The bedrooms are huge and the beds and bedding are extremely cozy (we all slept like babies). The duel decks are a really cool set up with the hot tub on the bottom such a cool vibe with really nice ceiling lights hanging. We came for a work escape as a team, and this was a great stay for us. The bedrooms upstairs also had their own little balconies, which is great to enjoy a morning cup of coffee before getting our day started. They also had all the amenities in the kitchen you could ever need.

Lakehouse Getaway/Winter/Summer/Spring/Fall
Steven was very responsive to any questions we had. The place was beautiful and peaceful. The hot tub was well maintained. The kayaks were fun. The outdoor area was beautiful and exactly what we were hoping for regarding privacy. All amenities were as described.

Wooded lakefront oasis with game room & wood stove
Lovely. Well stocked. Beautifully appointed. A great retreat in the Catskills. Remote and peaceful with gorgeous views of the lake. Thoroughly enjoyed the fireplace and the backyard deck. One hour away from the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Lakefront Perfect For Familiy, Wineries, Colleges
Beautiful and comfortable lake house with a gorgeous view and easy access to the lake! The kitchen was was well stocked with ample space for our family. We woke up every morning to the sounds of the birds and the water. Carolyn's suggestions for things to do and places to eat were spot on. We loved the hike at Robert Treman state park, walking around the botanic gardens and a visit to the bird lab at Sapsucker woods. Dinner at Hazelnut Kitchen was a delicious treat as well as ice cream at the Cornell Dairy Barn. Overall, I highly recommend this house if you want a peaceful and restorative vacation.

The Muskoday Lake House - Modern Lakefront Oasis
Stayed for a long weekend with our pup. The house was perfect, they thought of everything! Amazing lake view. 14 minute drive to town and just under 20 to the next town. Plenty of good food, drinks and shopping! Thank you Marzena for being an exceptional host!

The Nest At Swiss - Lakefront In The Catskills
We had an amazing weekend in the Catskills thanks to The Nest at Swiss. We brought five kids and 5 adults and we had the greatest time. Plenty of room to spread out while also a ton to do. We watched movies, played cards, made pop corn, built fires, smoked meat, went fishing, kayaking, played endless games of manhunt and monopoly. The Nest was set up for everything. We really enjoyed the short walks into Jeffersonville and hanging out on the decks. Even though the weather wasn’t perfect for Memorial Day weekend it did not matter to us. The Nest is also really close to Bethel Woods and we took him to concert on Saturday night super convenient location. The house was fully stocked and had everything we can think of. Well done Matthew!

Charming 3BR/2BA Retreat | Pond | Fire Pit | Pets
5/5 Stars – A Perfect Family Getaway in Skaneateles, NY! We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful, upgraded home in Skaneateles! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how clean, comfortable, and well-maintained everything was. The house had everything we needed, and the thoughtful touches made it feel like a home away from home. Our kids especially had a blast with the trampoline and playhouse in the yard—they couldn’t get enough! In the evenings, we enjoyed the serene campfire in the backyard, making s’mores and relaxing under the stars. The front pond added such a peaceful, picturesque touch to the property. We also appreciated how safe and family-friendly the house and neighborhood felt. It was the perfect setting for a memorable family trip. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area! Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Dr. Ruth’s Serene Lake Retreat
After using Airbnb for years now no other place was a perfect 10. The lake house was simply great. Not only the physical status but the follow up and generosity of the hosts where beyond. We didn’t want to leave.

Morgan Pond Farm - Mountain views & privacy
We were in awe when we arrived for our family vacation. It truly exceeded our expectations. The home has everything you could possibly need. It’s cozy and welcoming. The property is beyond beautiful .. there is so much to explore you never have to leave. Our lab was in complete heaven. We were so sad to leave but look forward to visiting again. My family and I highly recommend Morgan’s Pond Farm.

Waterfront Getaway - Sleeps 10,Hot Tub, Fire Pit
We had a very enjoyable stay. This was the perfect place for our family to spend time together. Peaceful lakefront living! The kayaks and paddle boards were put to good use. Debra was gracious enough to leave us some goodies, s’more fixings, and even toys and treats for the dogs. I would definitely book this house again.
