The little cabin by the lake was just what we needed. It was very clean, and everything worked properly. We have family nearby, so the location was excellent. Don't miss the Smith Memorial Park, which has public access to the lake. We plan to return soon!

This property is as listed on VRBO. Its located near many wineries on the Seneca Trail. Only downside for us we would have liked to been able to walk to the lake. You can see it from the deck. We enjoyed our visit there and hope to be back.
