We enjoyed the fire pit & the hot tub. It was centrally located on the left side of the lake, clean, & met all of our needs. The property is large & peaceful & there are no neighbors so we didn't have to worry about playing music or being loud. Only minuses were that the shower water is very soft & left everyone with a feeling of oily skin. also house sleeps 6 but only 4 dining room chairs.

The property was perfect for what we needed, it was me, my husband and my mother, along with our two dogs. They loved the yard and we loved the hot tub! The house was also set far enough off the road to be very quiet and safe, and the driveway that went to the other house down the road was rarely used. The location was also perfectly sent in the heart of wine country and Lake Seneca. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Relaxing Stay Near Lake

Great location right across from Wiemer. Clean house on large plot of land. Water pressure in sinks can be a little lacking if someone else is using the water at the same time but fine otherwise. Got a chance to use the hot tub at night which was a lot of fun!

Perfect for oue Eclipse Trip

We stayed for 3 nights during April's eclipse. After looking at ridiculously priced hotels near Buffalo, we decided to instead rent a home in the Finger Lakes. Proved to be perfect as we were close to many wineries & breweries & a short trip to Pen Yan & Watkins Glen. The house was well cared for, clean, and very private. Perfect size for 2 couples and 2 kids, although one of the kids did sleep on an air mattress as there's only bed per room. The house was pretty well stocked and plenty of bedding, although we did need to get paper towels & tissues. The kids were happy that there's great wifi, even worked outside. The communication with the owner was quick & friendly. The only thing i rated slightly lower was communication because of the use of a separate app called Lodgify. My initial communications were through VRBO & a few days later I received texts to create an account through that app. Initially ignored it because i thought if was a phishing message. Finally did go into it & that's where you find details on arrival, etc, although no way to message anyone through the app. Had to go back & message through VRBO. Not a big deal but a little confusing. Would definitely consider staying here if we travel again with a small group to the Finger Lakes!

Perfect location in the scenic fingerlakes

The house was even cuter in person than on the listings, we were so completely charmed. The host had everything set up beautifully. The location is perfect and near several amazing wineries within 15 minutes of driving including one of the best on the lakes right across the street. We discovered the most adorable antique shop just down the road, and it was within driving distance of several towns with excellent food options. We enjoyed the hot tub and taking walks down to the lake view at the end of the road. We had a lovely charming weekend

Wonderful and cute

The place was very cute, quaint, and well maintained. We loved the location and the privacy with big property. We are definitely staying here next time we come. The only complaints are the place was missing basic toiletries like shampoo, body wash,etc. and the walkway was very slippery (our friend fell). I do see now that toiletries weren't included as an amenity, but the listing should be more explicit and clear since toiletries are usually a standard amenity.

Second stay

My family and dog stayed here for a second time and enjoyed it. The hot tub is always a hit, and the location is both private and convenient. More spacious than you’d think from the pictures. Only minor complaints are the somewhat uncomfortable futons and small showers.

Great location

We had a great girl trip weekend exploring the breweries on Seneca. 8 of us stayed and we had plenty of room. The home is a bit dated but maintained pretty well and is clean inside. The main shower was quite slippery and the shower head is very low making it awkward for many of us. The outside of the property needs a good pressure washing. The house, porch and deck were all very dirty. While we were there the back light was out making it quite dangerous to get to the hot tub and fire pit. We had to use our phones for flashlights. I messaged about the light being out as it was not safe - and was told the light must have burnt out. Understandable - but expected someone to come by and fix it as it was a safety issue. Overall location was great - close to many winery and brewery options and Geneva area. The house had all we needed inside and worked well for our weekend getaway.

Pros- convenience to Watkins Glen, Seneca Lake& Wine Trail, and Keuka Lake. Very clean, very nice & responsive owners, fire pit, allowed to take dog, comfortable beds, linens and towels provided, and hot tub!! Cons- house is a little dated, central AC did not keep house cool during heatwave (even with blinds, windows and doors shut, couches very uncomfortable (they are futons), and owners forgot to send check-in procedures one week in advance, got it the day before when I asked, but was prompt in sending it.

We had a great time during our stay at The Willow this year. It was the second time we've stayed there and we wouldn't hesitate to stay there again! We especially love the location - near enough to Watkins Glen and other towns but far enough away from busy areas. The property accommodations are fine for our family and our dog that loves to take walks in the large yard.

Fantastic Weekend Getaway

We found The Willow Cottage while looking for a convenient place to stay during our return to the Finger Lakes post-Covid. Much to our delight, we found the location perfect, and directly across the street of one of our favorite wineries! The house was very comfortable. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of room for two families of 4. The fire pit was a nice touch in the evening to relax with a glass of wine or a cold beer. The yard behind the cottage was very roomy, allowing the kids plenty of room to run around, explore and play soccer. We would absolutely stay here again! It was absolutely wonderful!
